Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for allocating elevator use based on an individual request includes a request module that receives a reservation request of an elevator car from a user, an allocation module that identifies a reserved elevator car based on the reservation request; and a mechanical control module that moves the reserved elevator car in response to commands provided by the user and the reservation request.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for allocating elevator use based on an individual request, the system comprising: a request module that receives a reservation request of an elevator car from a user; an allocation module that identifies a reserved elevator car based on the reservation request; and a mechanical control module that moves the reserved elevator car in response to commands provided by the user and the reservation request; wherein the reservation request specifies a time parameter for reservation request, the time parameter including at least one of a day and a time the reserved elevator car is requested; wherein the reservation request includes a location where the reserved elevator car is desired; the reservation request specifies an independent service that dedicates a reserved elevator car for operation by the user. 2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a service quality monitoring module that monitors a quality of service of an elevator bank that includes the reserved elevator car to maintain and quality of service of elevator cars in the elevator bank. 3. The system of claim 2 , the service quality monitoring module sets a service threshold and instructs the allocation module to deny the reservation request in response to a quality of service falling below a service threshold. 4. The system of claim 3 , the service threshold is generated based on historical elevator data that includes historical elevator traffic of an elevator bank of the reserved elevator car. 5. A method for allocating elevator use based on an individual request, the method comprising: receiving a reservation request of an elevator car from a user; identifying a reserved elevator car based on the reservation request; and moving the reserved elevator car in response to commands provided by the user and the reservation request; wherein the reservation request specifies a time parameter for reservation request, the time parameter including at least one of a day and a time the reserved elevator car is requested; wherein the reservation request includes a location where the reserved elevator car is desired; wherein the reservation request specifies an independent service that dedicates a reserved elevator car for operation by the user. 6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising monitoring a quality of service of an elevator bank that includes the reserved elevator car to maintain and quality of service of elevator cars in the elevator bank. 7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising setting a service threshold and instructing the allocation module to deny the reservation request in response to a quality of service falling below a service threshold. 8. The method of claim 7 , generating the service threshold based on historical elevator data that includes historical elevator traffic of an elevator bank of the reserved elevator car.
