Abstract: An elevator system in which a car travels upward and downward among a plurality of floors. The elevator system includes a first terminal having a wireless transmitting/receiving unit provided for at least one of the plurality of floors and a second terminal having a wireless transmitting/receiving unit associated with the car. A mobile terminal is provided which enables wireless transmitting/receiving of signals between at least the first and second terminals.

Abstract: An elevator system in which a car travels upward and downward among a plurality of floors. The elevator system includes terminals each having a wireless transmitting/receiving unit. One of the terminals is correspondingly provided for at least one of the plurality of floors and another of the terminals is correspondingly provided for the car and at least one of a counterweight. A mobile terminal is provided which enables wireless transmitting/receiving of signals between the terminals which are arranged within a predetermined distance of each other.

Abstract: A plurality of radio relay stations 1 are connected so that bi-directional ring-like paths are made up of radio transmission paths. The respective radio relay stations 1 bidirectionally transmit data inputted from terminals placed thereunder onto the bidirectional ring-like paths respectively. The respective data are respectively received by radio relay stations 2 having data destination terminals placed thereunder along the bidirectional ring-like paths. Each radio relay station, which has received the data destined for the terminals placed thereunder from both directions, transmits earlier incoming data to each terminal placed thereunder and discards later incoming data. Thus, a radio relay system can be implemented which is capable of relaying data with a high degree of reliability.

Abstract: An elevator system in which a car travels upward and downward among a plurality of floors includes an elevator control unit and terminals each having a wireless transmitting/receiving unit. The terminals are provided for the elevator control unit and for each of the floors. Transmitting/receiving of signals between two of the terminals distant from each other is effected so as to at least enable wireless bi-directional communication between the two of the terminals distant from each other by relaying signals through another wireless transmitting/receiving unit of another of the terminals.

Abstract: In order to make it possible to transmit and receive information between terminals and to reduce the number of wires used for an elevator in a building in an elevator system by transmitting and receiving information through wireless transmission even if a very weak radio wave having a narrow communicable range is used, an elevator control unit, a car terminal and floor terminals are individually provided with short distance wireless transmitting/receiving units having a communicable range of nearly a 2-floor distance (5 to 6 m) using very weak radio waves. The radio waves are received and transmitted between the wireless transmitting/receiving units located within the communicable range to transmit information by a relaying method of sequentially transferring information from terminal to terminal until it reaches a final destination.

Abstract: A controller to which a plurality of apparatus can be connected has an apparatus discriminating unit for discriminating a type and/or the number of the apparatus connected to the controller. The controller further has an application discriminating unit for discriminating, based on the type and/or the number of the apparatuses discriminated by the apparatus discriminating unit, an application corresponding to the type and/or the number of the apparatuses.

Abstract: A system for transmitting data in high precision by restricting a delay in data transmission time includes a hub. The hub receives through the transmission media a data frame transmitted from a communication device that has a transmission request among a plurality of communication devices, and relays the received data frame to a destination communication device based on a destination address included in the received data frame.
