  • Patent number: 10836604
    Abstract: A method for operating an elevator installation, the installation including an elevator control device, uses a mobile radio to perform operator control actions for the elevator installation. The mobile radio receives relevant data allowing indirect access to the elevator installation initially in the form of an identification code that is transmitted continuously or regularly by a transmission unit associated with the elevator installation.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 17, 2020
    Assignee: INVENTIO AG
    Inventors: Adrian Bünter, Markus Gilli
  • Patent number: 10173862
    Abstract: A process for operating an elevator control device, whereby for local access to the elevator control device via a programming device, the elevator control device automatically sends an identifier to the programming device and the identifier is input to an operator panel associated with the elevator control device. The elevator control device permits the local access when the previously sent identifier has been entered correctly within a predetermined input time.

  • Patent number: 9952702
    Abstract: An input device for generating a control signal includes a control panel, which is formed by a plate-shaped element and has a front side and a rear side, an input zone on the front side, wherein the position of the input zone is marked by a marking on the front side and wherein the control panel is arranged to be deflectable at least in the region of the input zone and a sensor, which is mounted on a region of the rear side opposite the input zone, that detects deflection of the control panel occurring in the region of the input zone, wherein the sensor generates or varies an electrical signal when a user of the input device by exertion of a pressure force on the input zone produces a sufficient deflection of the control panel in the region of the input zone.

  • Patent number: 8689353
    Abstract: A system for management of access rights to operating data and/or control data of buildings or building complexes can include a communications release service running on a first server. This release service releases a communication of a user, who is registered with an identity, with the buildings or building complexes filed for him or her in a list when his or her identity corresponds with an identity filed in the list. Also, after release of the communication has taken place by the communications release service, a building authorization service running on a second server releases specific access rights for the user to operating data and/or control data of the building or building complex on the basis of access rights filed in an authorization databank.
