Abstract: Disclosed is an elevator system, including a gateway configured to: receive, from an elevator car controller of an elevator car, car controller data for the elevator car that includes a car positional log of the elevator car; receive, from a beacon mounted to the elevator car, car operational data for the elevator car that includes car and door data representing car and door events; and transmit, to one of an elevator management center and a cloud service, a combination of the car controller data and the car operational data to identify an alert condition and a position of the elevator car during the alert condition, wherein the gateway or the one of the elevator management center and the cloud service is configured to stitch together the car controller data and the car operational data to identify the alert condition and position of the elevator car during the alert condition.

Abstract: Upon detection of a trapped passenger in an elevator car, a resident monitoring device initiates communication between the car and a telephone in the building and between the car and a remote monitoring center. Upon detection of the first responsive telephonic communication from either the remote monitoring center or the telephone in the building, voice communication is established therebetween. Upon detection of a second responsive telephonic communication from the second location to respond, voice communication is established between the car and the second location as well so that simultaneous communication may be conducted between the car, the remote monitoring center, and the telephone in the building. A building telephone has a keypad which can be used to select another car for voice communication with a trapped passenger by pressing a selected key. A telephone ring voltage source is provided for alerting building personnel of a trapped passenger.
