Abstract: According to an embodiment there is provided a building automation system control apparatus comprising building automation system control logic configured to receive signaling from entities connected to a building automation system and to cause transmission of control signaling to the entities connected to the building automation system, wherein the building automation system control logic comprises elevator control logic as an integral part to directly control an elevator system comprising one or more elevators, the building automation system control logic being configured to take into account signaling received from the entities connected to the building automation system when determining control signaling for the elevator system; and the building automation system control logic being configured to take into account signaling received from the elevator system when determining control signaling for the entities connected to the building automation system.

Abstract: A controller includes a processor configured to, receive, via an input/output (I/O) device, a first destination call having a first departure floor and a first destination floor of a first passenger associated therewith, allocate the first destination call to one of the plurality of elevators, receive, via the I/O device, at least a second destination call having one or more of a second destination floor and a second departure floor of a second passenger associated therewith, and allocate the second destination call to one of the plurality of elevators such that the controller assigns the second destination call to a same one of the plurality of elevators as the first destination call, if a group allocation request associated with the first destination call and the second destination call is received from the link.

Abstract: The invention refers to a group control of an elevator group comprising several elevators, which group control comprises a destination control system with at least one destination call panel for issuing a first destination call by inputting a first destination floor whereupon the destination control system allocates said first destination call to a first elevator of said elevator group. The destination call panel has a link actuator, which, upon activation, initiates the destination control system to receive at least a second destination call with a second destination floor and/or departure floor, which second destination call is also allocated to said first elevator by the destination control system. By this measure passengers with different departure and/or destination floors can travel with the same elevator.

Abstract: An elevator system includes at least one elevator, call-giving appliances in elevator lobbies, and a device configured to detect contact patterns in an identification area on a floor surface of at least one elevator lobby. A user to be connected to a call given from the elevator lobby is classified based on the contact pattern, the type data of the call is associated with the call based on the classification, and the call and the type data is transmitted to the control system of the elevator system to control the elevators.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solution for controlling an elevator system, which elevator system includes at least one elevator, call-giving appliances in the elevator lobbies, and also a device for detecting in the desired identification area contact patterns directed onto the floor surface of at least one elevator lobby. A user to be connected to a call given from the elevator lobby is classified on the basis of the contact pattern produced by the user, the type data of the call is connected to the call on the basis of the classification, and the call with its type data is transmitted to the control system of the elevator system for controlling the elevators.
