Please refer to FIG. 4 . FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an implementation environment of an elevator control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The implementation environment shown in Figure 4 can realize the elevator control method described in at least one embodiment or implementation mode of the present invention, including elevator control terminal 110, elevator 111, positioning terminal 121 and/or positioning terminal 122, positioning satellite 130, and communication base station 140 , the elevator control terminal 110 , the positioning terminal 121 and/or the positioning terminal 122 , and the positioning satellite 130 are connected through a wireless network or a wired network provided by the communication base station 140 .

Wherein, the positioning terminal 121 and/or the positioning terminal 122 may be a terminal carried by the user or a terminal carried by the user, and may include desktops, notebooks, personal digital assistants, smart phones, tablet computers, vehicles with navigation equipment and other terminal devices. At least one of is used to locate the user side in real time.

The elevator control terminal 110, preferably the background server of the elevator, can receive the positioning data or estimated time from the positioning terminal 121 or 122, and send an operation instruction to the elevator. It can also pre-store the operation information corresponding to the elevator call control command to control the operation of the elevator and reserve the elevator for the user.

The positioning terminal 121 and/or the positioning terminal 122 can perform terminal GSP positioning, use the GPS positioning module inside the smart phone or the vehicle navigation device to send its own position signal to the positioning background, and realize positioning through the positioning satellite 130 .

In other embodiments, the positioning terminal 121 and/or the positioning terminal 122 can also perform positioning through an A-GPS (Assist-GPS assisted positioning system) mounted on a smart phone or a vehicle navigation device. A-GPS mainly uses the network that is available everywhere. First, the IP address of the smart phone or car navigation equipment or the base station address of the signal tower is used to roughly determine the range. The signal received by the smart phone or car navigation device is calculated by the connected network server, and finally the result is sent back.

The positioning terminal 121 and/or the positioning terminal 122 can also regularly obtain positioning information, obtain its own running speed and direction (that is, the user's action speed) by analyzing the positioning information, and obtain the specific direction of the user's action according to the longitude and latitude, the entry and exit area, etc., and calculate the positioning The time when the terminal 121 or 122 arrives at the elevator side (the time when the user arrives at the elevator side), and then know whether the user has a demand for calling the elevator (such as: the running speed direction is directed from the user side to the elevator side, the distance between the positioning terminal 121 or 122 and the elevator 111 Getting closer, or entering the elevator calling area 150), if there is a demand for calling an elevator, it will be automatically connected to the elevator control terminal 110 through wifi, the operator's wireless network, and inform the estimated time of arrival.

Furthermore, the positioning terminal 121 or 122 regularly receives positioning data from positioning satellites as user-side position information, and the data may include information such as time, longitude, latitude, direction, and moving speed. When the positioning terminal 121 or 122 judges that the user enters the area from outside the sensing area, the distance between the user side and the elevator side can be calculated through the position information of the user side and the position information of the elevator side. The location information calculates the user's running speed, and then calculates the user's running trend and the estimated time when the user arrives at the elevator through the distance and the speed, and sends the report to the elevator control terminal through wireless communication (2G, 3G, 4G, wifi, sms, etc.) 110 sends the estimated time that the user arrives at the elevator side, and when the elevator control terminal 110 judges that the estimated time at which the user arrives at the elevator side meets the elevator call requirement, it sends an elevator call control command to the elevator 111 to reserve the elevator 111.

In other embodiments, the positioning terminal 121 or 122 can also send the regularly received positioning data (user-side position information) from the positioning satellite to the elevator control terminal 110 . When the elevator control terminal 110 judges that the user enters the area from outside the sensing area according to the positioning data, the distance between the user side and the elevator side can be calculated through the position information of the user side and the position information of the elevator side. Calculate the user’s running speed based on the user’s side position information in the system, and then calculate the user’s running trend and the estimated time when the user arrives at the elevator side through the distance and the speed. When the estimated user’s arrival time at the elevator side meets the call requirements, Send an elevator call control instruction to the elevator 111, and reserve the elevator 111.
