  • Publication number: 20240051792
    Abstract: An elevator monitoring system includes a monitoring controller for communicating with a remote monitoring installation. The monitoring controller has a signal input for connecting the monitoring controller to a sensor system of the elevator monitoring system. The sensor system includes a first sensor module for determining a state of an elevator controller of an elevator system monitored by the elevator monitoring system, and a second sensor module for determining movement information of the monitored elevator system. The sensor system combines an output state of the first sensor module and an output state of the second sensor module into a single output state by a logical AND operation and provides this single output state as an input for the signal input.

  • Patent number: 11711327
    Abstract: In some examples, user models are generated to represent experience of users with respect to their roles. Models that represent conditions are also generated. As part of generating a support element for a particular user, a triggering event is detected (e.g., an update to a user record), a condition is identified, a condition model and a user model are compared to identify a condition preparedness score. This score is used to generate the support element, which is shared with a user device of the user.
