  • Patent number: 6037881
    Abstract: The method and device serve to continuously locate vehicles (LB) which contain a computer (IR) connected to a path data measuring unit which emits a measured value corresponding to the distance covered. The computer (IR) is further connected to a path data memory (CD) in which the route network to be traveled, the target stopping positions s of bus stops (H) with their mutual distances D and the stopping ranges d associated with the stops (H) are stored. On the basis of the data stored and at least one accuracy factor g corresponding to the path length measurement, the computer (IR) establishes the capture range f.sub.y of a stop (H.sub.y) on the traffic path and corrects the measured value w as soon as the vehicle (LB) stops and the measured value w lies in the dynamically determined capture range f.sub.y.

  • Patent number: 5689094
    Abstract: Elevator installation. This device enables an implicit input of destination calls in elevator installations, with an information transmitter, after a corresponding enquiry, sending data to a recognition device, wherein the data can contain direct information about the desired destination floor or serve for the identification of the elevator user and thus enable access to the information, filed in a storage device, about the destination floor, with the storage device being accommodated in a processing unit of an elevator control. The communication between the recognition device and the information transmitter takes place via radio frequencies and with the aid of the obtained data, the destination floor is determined in the processing unit and conveyed to the lift control, with the allocation being communicated to the passenger on a display device, with the process of the call entry taking place automatically, contactless and independent of the orientation of the information transmitter, i.e.
