  • Publication number: 20210222479
    Abstract: An entrance system (1) is disclosed which has a movable door member (10; DM1 . . . DMm) having a door leaf (12) with a first vertical edge (14L) and a second vertical edge (14S). An automatic door operator (30) with a motor (34) is capable of causing movement of the door member (10; DM1 . . . DMm). A sensor unit (300; S1) is provided for monitoring a zone (Z1) at or near the door leaf (12) for presence or activity of a person or object. The sensor unit (300) is designed for capturing (710) an image of an external object (380) at the first vertical edge (14L) of the door leaf (12), and processing (720) the captured image to identify an optical code (360) and recognize a learning mode trigger instruction (370) encoded therein. Triggered by the recognizing of the learning mode trigger instruction (370), a learning mode (352) of the sensor unit (300; S1) is automatically entered into step (730).

  • Patent number: 10956876
    Abstract: The disclosure proposes a method performed in an electronic device for minimizing downtime in operation of a door system. The method comprising obtaining a door system identification information, followed by obtaining a status pattern associated with the operation of the door system associating the obtained status pattern with the door system identification information. The method is determining if the obtained status pattern is associated with any of at least one reference status pattern, by comparing the obtained status pattern with the at least one reference status pattern. This is then followed by associating the determined reference status pattern with the door system identification information and generating a door maintenance information.
