Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic terminal device can be configured using a device identifier that is input into the device. The terminal device sends the device identifier to a configuration server. The configuration server responds by sending configuration information to the terminal device based on the device identifier.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for configuring a terminal device in a building, comprising: receiving, using the terminal device, a device identifier for the terminal device; sending, by the terminal device, the device identifier from the terminal device to a configuration server; receiving, by the terminal device, configuration information for the terminal device from the configuration server, the configuration information comprising a physical location of the terminal device, in the building; and self-configuring the terminal device based on the configuration information. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises an orientation of the terminal device relative to a surface of the building. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises an elevator group with which the terminal device works. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the terminal device comprises a destination call input device for an elevator system. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the terminal device comprises a lock for a door. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the device identifier comprises a string or a number. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving using the terminal device, of the device identifier is over a wireless connection. 8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the configuration information using a computer-based layout tool. 9 . A system, comprising: a configuration server; and a terminal device in a building, the terminal device being coupled to the configuration server, the terminal device comprising: a processor; and memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes processor-executable instructions to: receive a device identifier for the terminal device, send the device identifier to a configuration server, receive configuration information for the terminal device from the configuration server, the configuration information comprising a physical location of the terminal device in the building, and configure the terminal device, based on the configuration information. 10 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising a removable storage medium coupled to the configuration server, the removable storage medium storing the configuration information.
