Evacuation of buildings with elevator systems
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a safety system for guiding a person during an evacuation situation in an area equipped with an elevator system, in which a plurality of fixed point markers have been arranged at fixed locations, wherein the fixed point markers store data that is received by a mobile device carried by the person, comprising:
- determining an instantaneous position of the mobile device in the area when the mobile device, by means of an identifier received from a first fixed point marker, accesses a database in which the identifier is linked to a location of the first fixed point marker;
ascertaining an escape route in the area to a destination on the basis of the instantaneous position of the mobile device;
transmitting escape route information to the mobile device; and
registering the person on reaching the destination when the mobile device is detected at the destination by means of a second fixed point marker.

Abstract
During an evacuation situation in a building that is equipped with an elevator system and in which a plurality of fixed point markers are arranged at defined sites, an escape route is transmitted to a person by means of a mobile device. The fixed point markers store data that can be received by the mobile device. An instantaneous position of the mobile device can be determined when the mobile device uses data received from a fixed point marker to access a database in which the data is linked to a site of the fixed point marker. The ascertainment of the escape route to a destination is based on the instantaneous position of the mobile device. The person is registered on reaching the destination when the mobile device is detected at the destination.

14. A system for guiding a person during an evacuation situation in an area equipped with an elevator system, comprising:
-
a plurality of fixed point markers each at a defined site, wherein the fixed point markers store an identifier that is received by a mobile device carried by the person; and a safety system with a processor and a memory for storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to; determine an instantaneous position of the mobile device in the area when the mobile device, by means of an identifier received from a first fixed point marker, accesses a database in which the identifier is linked to a location of the first fixed point marker, ascertain an escape route in the area to a destination, the determination being based on the instantaneous position of the mobile device, transmits escape route information to the mobile device, and registers the person on reaching the destination when the mobile device is detected at the destination by means of a second fixed point marker. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
