  • Publication number: 20180118511
    Abstract: Methods and systems for making elevator service requests, the methods including receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, building information, populating a first scrollable wheel and a second scrollable wheel with floor information contained within the building information, displaying a user interface, including the first scrollable wheel and the second scrollable wheel, on a display of the computing device, receiving a first user input at the first scrollable wheel including a first list element located within a first selection box, receiving a second user input at the second scrollable wheel including a second list element located within a second selection box, receiving a user input request to make an elevator service request, generating an elevator service request packet based on the first user input and the second user input, and transmitting the elevator service request packet to an elevator controller to make an elevator service request.

  • Publication number: 20180121072
    Abstract: Methods and systems for making elevator service requests including receiving, by a computing device, building information, populating at least one suggestion list with one or more suggested list elements, the at least one suggestion list comprising a list of possible origination or destination floors for an elevator trip, displaying a user interface, including the at least one suggestion list, on a display, receiving a first user input to indicate an origination floor for an elevator service request, receiving a second user input to indicate a destination floor for the elevator service request, generating an elevator service request packet based on the first user input and the second user input, and transmitting the elevator service request packet to an elevator controller to make an elevator service request. At least one of the first user input and the second user input are inputs received at the at least one suggestion list.
