Abstract: An access control system for a passage device includes a first imaging device having a first field of view to an entrance area of the passage device for providing first image data, a second imaging device having a second field of view to the entrance area of the passage device for providing second image data, and a control unit for performing a facial recognition-based access control procedure for the first image data and/or for the second image data. The first imaging device is arranged to the passage device or in a vicinity of the passage device and the second imaging device is arranged to the passage device or in a vicinity of the passage device so that the second field of view differs at least partly from the first field of view. A method for access control of the passage device is also disclosed.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a solution for enabling a visitor access in a building. An apparatus may be configured to a request to generate a visual token reading invitation for a visitor of a building, the visual token reading invitation being associated with a visual token. The apparatus may be configured to generate the visual token reading invitation in response to the request. The apparatus may be configured to obtain an indication of a reading action of the visual token provided at a location of the building. The apparatus may be configured to enable at least one access right in the building in response to obtaining the indication of the reading action of the visual token.

Abstract: A door frame and a method for providing an elevator with a door frame. The door frame is a three-sided structure installed in an opening portion of an entrance of the elevator. The door frame comprises two opposite upright frame parts and an upper frame part disposed between upper end portions of the upright frame parts. The upright frame parts and the upper frame part each comprise at least one mounting frame element and at least one separate surface element attachable removably to the mounting frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating an elevator call. The method comprises: obtaining (202) image data representing at least one symbol (310, 310a, 310b) illustrated on a symbol representing device (320) from at least one image sensing device (112), identifying (204) the at least one symbol (310, 310a, 310b) from the obtained image data, and generating (206) the elevator call in accordance with the identified at least one symbol (310, 310a, 310b). The invention relates also to an elevator control unit (108) and an elevator system (100) performing at least partly the method.

Abstract: An escalator includes a truss formed of a support structure that bridges a lower landing and an upper landing of the escalator. The truss includes two rising side sections extending upwards from a bottom plane of the truss, the side sections extending along a length of the truss and being joined together with cross braces. The escalator includes a subframe attached to an outer side of at least one side section of the truss, the subframe being arranged to receive an outer cladding of the escalator.
