First Claim
Patent Images
1. An elevator operation method, comprising:
- detecting, using a sensor, a position change by an elevator user, the detecting being based on first and second detected signals;
comparing the detected position change with one or more predefined position changes; and
as a result of the comparison, placing an elevator call input device into a handicapped user mode.

Abstract
A method for enabling the use of an elevator system by disabled persons includes detecting at least one position change of a user using at least one sensor, said position change being in the form of at least one signal and at least one reference signal. The signal is then compared to the reference signal. At lease one signal status change is generated when at least one predefined comparison result is fulfilled. For the generated signal state change, the elevator system is at least partially brought to an operating mode enabling the use thereof by disabled persons.

13. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
detecting, using a sensor, a movement by an elevator user; comparing the detected movement with one or more predefined movements; and as a result of the comparison, placing an elevator call input device into a disabled user mode. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An elevator system component comprising:
-
a processor; an input/output unit coupled to the processor; and one or more computer-readable media coupled to the processor, wherein the one or more computer-readable media store instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to, detect, using received sensor data, at least one position change by an elevator user, and as a result of the detecting, place the elevator system component into a handicapped user mode. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. An elevator operation method, comprising:
-
detecting, using a sensor, a position change by an elevator user, the detecting being based on first and second detected signals; comparing the detected position change received from the sensor, with one or more predefined position changes; and as a result of the comparison, changing a mode of the elevator call input device into a handicapped user mode and transmitting, by the elevator call input device, a signal state change to at least one of an elevator controller or destination controller. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
