1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, registration information associated with a tenant of a building and at least one user device;
determining, by the computing device, that the at least one user device is within a threshold distance of the building;
causing, by the computing device, an identity of the tenant to be provided by the at least one user device based on the determination that the at least one user device is within the threshold distance of the building; and
causing, by the computing device, an elevator car to be dispatched to a floor of the building on which the tenant is located.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to; communicate with a mobile device based on the mobile device being located within a threshold distance of a building; and transmit to the mobile device an indication of an elevator car to be dispatched to a tenant within the building based on the communication with the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
at least one computing device configured to; determine when a user device included in a plurality of user devices is within a threshold distance of at least one building included in a plurality of buildings; cause identities of one or more tenants registered with a service provider within the at least one building to be provided to the user device based on determining that the user device is within the threshold distance; and cause an elevator car to be dispatched to a floor of the at least one building on which at least one tenant of the registered one or more tenants is located. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. An elevator dispatching system comprising:
-
an elevator dispatching unit configured to dispatch a plurality of elevator cars in at least one building, a memory configured to store information regarding, a plurality of users, and a plurality of tenants in the at least one building, wherein the dispatching unit is configured to, by way of a mobile device, determine that a one of the plurality of users is proximate to the at least one building, determine a one of the plurality of tenants that is a destination of the one of the plurality of users, dispatch a one of the plurality of elevator cars to transport the one of the plurality of users to the destination, and inform the one of the plurality of users, by way of the mobile device, that the dispatched one of the plurality of elevator cars should be used. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
