چکیده
This paper describes an proof-of-concept with the goal of providing new interactions for elevators. By connecting the control unit of the elevator to the ISO/IEC 24752 Universal Remote Console (URC) middleware – the Universal Remote Console (UCH) – we show some examples of alternative and accessible User Interfaces. By this, we achieve not only accessible UIs, e.g., spoken language interfaces, but also more efficient and even joyful UIs.

An AI-Based Approach to Destination Control in Elevators
control has become a major field of application for AI technologies. Techniques such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy rules and, recently, multiagent systems and AI planning have been adopted by leading elevator companies not only to improve the transportation capacity of conventional elevator systems but also to revolutionize the way in which elevators interact with and serve pass...
متن کاملArchitectural design and physical activity: an observational study of staircase and elevator use in different buildings.
BACKGROUND The indoor built environment has the potential to influence levels of physical activity. However, the extent to which architectural design in commercial buildings can influence the percentage of people choosing to use the stairs versus elevators is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if buildings with centrally located, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing staircase...

متن کاملEffect of innovative building design on physical activity.
Stair climbing can be a low-cost and relatively accessible way to add everyday physical activity, but many building stairwells are inaccessible or unpleasant and elevators are far more convenient. This study explores the use of and attitude toward stairs in an innovative office building where the main elevators for able-bodied users stop only at every third floor ("skip-stop" elevators). These ...
