Abstract
An elevator system includes at least one elevator, at least one call input device and a call controller. The call input device transmits a call to the call controller. For a transmitted normal operation signal, at least one elevator car of an assigned elevator is activated to drive to the call input floor by at least one elevator controller of the assigned elevator. In a peak-time mode of the elevator system, at least one main operation signal is transmitted to at least one elevator. For a main operation signal transmitted to an elevator, at least one elevator car of said elevator is activated to drive between at least two main operation floors by at least one elevator controller of said elevator.

21. An elevator installation operation method, comprising:
-
moving an elevator car of an elevator installation to a destination landing based on a destination call for a user while the elevator installation is in a first mode of operation; changing the elevator installation to a second mode of operation; detecting at least one passenger information item in the elevator car while the elevator car is at a first main operation landing; determining that a given amount of time has passed since the detecting the at least one passenger information item; and as a result of the determining, moving the elevator car to a second main operation landing. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. An elevator installation operation method, comprising:
-
operating, in a first operation mode, an elevator car according to one or more destination calls; operating, in a second operation mode, the elevator car as a shuttle elevator for two main operation landings; and moving the elevator car, while in the second operation mode, between the two main operation landings as a result of determining that a given amount of time has passed since a passenger was detected in the elevator car.

39. One or more computer-readable storage media having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by a controller, cause the controller to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
moving an elevator car of an elevator installation to a destination landing based on a destination call for a user while the elevator installation is in a first mode of operation; changing the elevator installation to a second mode of operation; detecting at least one passenger information item in the elevator car while the elevator car is at a first main operation landing; determining that a given amount of time has passed since the detecting the at least one passenger information item; and as a result of the determining, moving the elevator car to a second main operation landing.

40. An elevator controller comprising:
-
a processor; and one or more computer-readable storage media having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to, operate, in a first operation mode, an elevator car according to one or more destination calls, operate, in a second operation mode, the elevator car as a shuttle elevator for two main operation landings, and move the elevator car, while in the second operation mode, between the two main operation landings as a result of determining that a given amount of time has passed since a passenger was detected in the elevator car.
