Method and system for operating electrical consumers in a building
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a control device comprising:
- using an identification sensor, generating an identification sensor signal identifying a user and a destination signal;
determining a starting point for a route for the user through a building;
determining from the destination signal the route and an end point for the route at a building door of the building;
determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route;
determining that a sensor signal for the building door was not received before an expiration of the route time;
as a result of determining that the sensor signal for the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating by the control device an electrical consumer positioned along the route, the electrical consumer comprising a camera;
recording an image of a portion of the route using the camera;
analyzing the recorded image; and
determining whether the user is in a dangerous situation.

Abstract
A method and a system are provided for switching at least one electrical consumer in a building comprising an elevator system. The switched electrical consumer is, for example, a camera. The camera is activated if when using the elevator system the user does not actuate a building door within an ascertained route time, i.e. the user does not arrive at his/her destination. It is possible using an image recorded by the camera to establish whether the user is possibly in a dangerous situation.

1. A method performed by a control device comprising:
-
using an identification sensor, generating an identification sensor signal identifying a user and a destination signal; determining a starting point for a route for the user through a building; determining from the destination signal the route and an end point for the route at a building door of the building; determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route; determining that a sensor signal for the building door was not received before an expiration of the route time; as a result of determining that the sensor signal for the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating by the control device an electrical consumer positioned along the route, the electrical consumer comprising a camera; recording an image of a portion of the route using the camera; analyzing the recorded image; and determining whether the user is in a dangerous situation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
using an identification sensor, generating an identification sensor signal identifying a user and a destination signal; determining a starting point for a route for the user through a building; determining from the destination signal the route and an end point for the route at a building door of the building; determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route;
determining that a sensor signal for the building door was not received before an expiration of the route time;as a result of determining that the sensor signal for the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating an electrical consumer positioned along the route, the electrical consumer comprising a camera; recording an image of a portion of the route using the camera; analyzing the recorded image; and determining whether the user is in a dangerous situation.

10. A
system, comprising: - an identification sensor;
a building door sensor for a building door in a building;
anelectrical consumer; and a control device, the control device being programmed for, using the identification sensor, generating an identification sensor signal identifying a user and a destination signal, determining a starting point for a route for the user through the building, determining from the destination signal the route and an end point for the route at the building door, determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route, determining that a sensor signal from the building door sensor was not received before an expiration of the route time, as a result of determining that the sensor signal from the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating the electrical consumer, the electrical consumer being positioned along the route, the electrical consumer comprising a camera, recording an image of a portion of the route using the camera, analyzing the recorded image, and determining whether the user is in a dangerous situation. - View Dependent Claims (11)
