Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3421404A1] A method for operating a car operating panel (1) in an elevator car (3) for an elevator is proposed. The method comprising (i) receiving a destination selection signal indicating a passenger's request for transportation to a selected destination floor; (ii) detecting an occupation degree indicating a current occupation of the elevator car; and (iii) outputting an audible feedback stating the selected destination floor in case the occupation degree is higher than a predetermined occupation limit. While the approach presented herein appears to be simple, it may provide significant benefits with respect to improved traffic management, advantages for blind or handicapped people with low eye sight or lack of awareness or knowledge, improved customer satisfaction and/or increased life cycle of components. Furthermore, the approach presented herein may require no or only minor hardware modification of existing COPs but may mainly be implemented in software.
