Abstract: A system and method for pre-programming operation of an elevator to automatically service particular floors of a building at a designated future interval. A remote user may input instructions over a network to be relayed to an elevator controller including a future interval during which an elevator is to automatically make continuous or periodic trips to and from a particular floor or floors of a building, such that during the designated future interval the elevator automatically and without a user's instructions, reaches the designated floor, opens the door, waits a pre-set time period, closes the door and travels to another floor or floors.

Abstract: A method and system for signaling wireless switching devices on behalf of a plurality of users via a cellular network includes a switch control system which is coupled to the cellular network mobile switching center. Users register switches with the system by providing the switch ID and the geographic location where the switch is installed. The system registers the switch as a wireless device present in a cell that serves the specified location. The user can then define a switching schedule for the registered the switches. Upon the occurrence of a scheduled switching event, a switching message is generated for the appropriate switch and is routed, via the cellular network, to the appropriate transmitter for subsequent broadcast.
