The method also includes selecting the anticipated trip graphical object to initiate a hall call and floor call from the third landing to the first landing.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system is provided including one or more elevator systems and a server for storing the system geographical location of the one or more elevator systems. A mobile device is in communication with the server. The mobile device is configured to display a one or more graphical objects indicative of the one or more elevator systems based in part on the system geographical location of the one or more elevator systems and a device geographical location of the mobile device.

Abstract: A wayfinder system includes at least one beacon operable to transmit information that relates a position of the beacon with respect to a predefined destination. A method of directing a user to a passenger conveyance includes receiving information that relates a position of a beacon with respect to a predefined destination and displaying directions to the predefined destination from the information via a mobile device application. A method of configuring a wayfinder system for a passenger conveyance includes transiting a route from an initial point to a predefined destination; receiving information from at least one beacon along the route from the initial point to the predefined destination; and communicating the received information to the beacon such that the beacon is operable to transmit a position of the beacon with respect to the predefined destination.

Abstract: A system for allocating elevator use based on an individual request includes a request module that receives a reservation request of an elevator car from a user, an allocation module that identifies a reserved elevator car based on the reservation request; and a mechanical control module that moves the reserved elevator car in response to commands provided by the user and the reservation request.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a request for at least one service associated with an elevator system from a mobile device over a cellular network, validating the request based on a determined location of the mobile device, and causing at least one resource associated with the at least one service to be scheduled based on the validating indicating that the request is approved.

Abstract: A method of passenger conveyance control includes receiving a destination request; tracking a passenger who entered the destination request while in a waiting area; and canceling the destination request in response to the passenger leaving the waiting area.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method of initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call with a call input device operating a program including a preferred landing graphical object comprising at least one floor designation graphical objects displayed on a graphic user interface, in communication with an elevator system.
