Description

System for Security Control and/or Transportation of Persons with an Elevator Installation, Method of operating this System, and Method of Retrofitting an Elevator Installation with this System The invention relates to a system for security control and/or transportation of persons with an elevator installation, a method of operating this system, and a method of retrofitting an elevator installation with this system according to the definition of the patent claims.
Systems for security control of persons are known. For example, such systems control the entering/leaving of persons to/from buildings, floors, rooms, etc.
Systems for the transportation of persons allow transportation of persons in means of transport, which transportation is controlled by identification. Thus, patent specification EP 0699617 discloses a device for commanding an elevator installation in which the elevator installation is commanded by a person with an identification code. A
recognition device recognizes the identification code and passes it on as a control signal to a processing unit. The processing unit reads the control signal and assigns to it a pre-defined desired travel destination. The bearer of the identification code is thereby identified, and a travel destination is assigned to such bearer. The processing unit transmits a corresponding control signal to the elevator installation, which then transports the person to the travel destination automatically.

Now, it has proven to be a disadvantage that unauthorized persons can make use of the identification code to obtain access to buildings, floors, rooms, etc., and to have themselves transported by the elevator installation.
The task of the invention is to provide a system for security control and/or transportation of persons with an elevator installation, and a method of operating this system, by means of which the reliability of the identification is increased.

The invention solves this task by a person who is to be transported with an elevator installation being not only identified, but also authenticated. Identification means determine whether for an identification code an access authorization and/or a pre-defined travel destination exists. Authentication means check whether the person really is the person they claim to be.

According to the invention, a person is identified by at least one identification code and by at least one authentication signal. For this purpose, the person enters and/or transmits an identification code, and an authentication signal of the person is captured. At least one user profile is assigned to the identification code and to the authorization code. An access authorization stored in the user profile, and/or a travel destination pre-defined in the user profile, is/are determined. The authentication signal is checked against at least one reference stored in the user profile.

If an access authorization to a travel destination is present, and if the authentication signal and reference correspond, at least one command signal is transmitted to the elevator installation to transport the person to the travel destination. If this is not the case, at least one alarm signal is transmitted to lock the person in the elevator car, and/or to deny the person access to the elevator installation.

As the authentication signal, a biometric signal is used.
Advantageously, for the authentication signal, use is made of a fingerprint, and/or a hand geometry, and/or a facial profile, and/or an iris pattern, and/or a retinal scan, and/or a thermogram, and/or an odor, and/or a weight, and/or a voice, and/or a signature, and/or a keystroke, and/or a walking sequence.

Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides a method for security control of persons with an elevator installation, comprising the steps of: identifying a person at a first location external to an elevator car, from at least one identification code by way of a recognition device mounted in close proximity to a landing door of the elevator installation, the identifying step occurring prior to entry of the person into the elevator car; authenticating the person at a second, different location, from at least one biometric authentication signal by an authentication device mounted before or in the elevator car, to check the identifying step; assigning at least one user profile to the at least one identification code and the at least one biometric authentication signal; and checking the at least one biometric authentication signal against at least one reference stored in the user profile.

In a further aspect, the present invention provides a system for security control of persons with an elevator installation, comprising: recognition means for 3a recognizing at least one identification code of a person, the recognition means being mounted at a first location external to an elevator car and in close proximity to a landing door of the elevator installation; authentication means capturing at least one biometric authentication signal of the person, the authentication means being mounted at a second, different location before or in the elevator car, the at least one biometric authentication signal adapted to be used to check the at least one identification code of the person; and at least one control device that stores at least one user profile of the person, the user profile having at least one of an access authorization to a travel destination, a predefined travel destination, and a reference; wherein the control device is operative to check at least one of whether the travel destination of the person is listed in the access authorization, and whether the authentication signal corresponds with the reference.

In a still further aspect, the present invention provides a method for retrofitting an elevator installation with a system for security control of persons, comprising steps of: installing at least one recognition device at a first location external to an elevator car and in close proximity to a landing door of the elevator installation for recognizing at least one identification code of a person; and installing at least one authentication device at a second, different location before or in the elevator car of the elevator installation for capturing at least one biometric authentication signal of the person to check the at least one identification code of the person;
wherein the system for security control of persons is 3b configured to assign at least one user profile to the identification code and to the authentication signal, and is configured to check the authentication signal against at least one reference stored in the user profile.

In a further aspect, the present invention provides a method for security control of persons with an elevator installation, comprising the steps of: identifying a person at a first location external to an elevator car, from at least one identification code by way of a recognition device mounted in close proximity to a landing door of the elevator installation, the identifying step occurring prior to entry of the person into the elevator car;
authenticating the person at a second location, from at least one biometric authentication signal by an authentication device mounted in the elevator car, to check the identifying step; assigning at least one user profile to the at least one identification code, the at least one user profile comprising at least one reference; and checking the at least one biometric authentication signal against the at least one reference, wherein if the at least one biometric authentication signal and the at least one reference do not correspond, at least one alarm signal is transmitted and the elevator car is closed and locked and does not commence travel.

In still a further aspect, the present invention provides a system for security control of persons with an elevator installation, comprising: recognition means for recognizing at least one identification code of a person, the recognition means being mounted at a first location external to an elevator car and in close proximity to a landing door of the elevator installation; authentication 3c means capturing at least one biometric authentication signal of the person, the authentication means being mounted at a second location in the elevator car, the at least one biometric authentication signal adapted to be used to check the at least one identification code of the person; and at least one control device that stores at least one user profile of the person, the user profile having at least one of an access authorization to a travel destination, a predefined travel destination and a reference, the at least one control device being operative to check at least one of whether a selected travel destination of the person is listed in the access authorization, and whether the at least one biometric authentication signal corresponds with the reference;
wherein if the at least one biometric authentication signal and the reference do not correspond, the elevator car is closed and locked and does not commence travel.

In this diagram illustrating the inventive principle, a person P is transported with an elevator installation A.
Instead of a person, a goods item can also be transported.
The elevator installation A may be any elevator with an elevator car, a drive, and an elevator control AS, which is installed in a building. A drive and an elevator car fastened to a suspension rope are shown diagrammatically.
All known and proven elevator installations may be used.
Identification of the person P takes place via a recognition device E. Preferably, the person P enters an identification code P1, for example via a keyboard, and/or the person P transmits an identification code P1, for example with a transponder by radio. Such a recognition device E is advantageously mounted at an entrance to the 3d elevator installation A. Preferably, the recognition device E is a terminal. Preferably, such a terminal is mounted close to a landing door of the elevator installation A.

The authentication of the person P take place via an authentication device F. Preferably, at least one authentication signal P2 of the person P is captured.

Capturing of an authentication signal takes place inside, preferably after entering, the elevator car, and/or outside, preferably before entering, the elevator car. With authentication inside the elevator car, the elevator car is used as a security compartment, i.e. the elevator door is closed and locked, and only on positive authentication is the elevator car caused to travel. Self-evidently, with knowledge of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can realize combinations of these exemplary embodiments.
The following biometric methods of authentication are preferably used:

Fingerprint: A fingerprint of the person P is captured, for example scanned. Preferably, the person P places their finger on a surface of the authentication device F, where a fingerprint is photographed in shades of gray by a camera.
Preferably, the shades of gray are digitized, and/or the line widths are reduced. Details are marked.
Hand geometry: Dimensions of a hand of person P are captured. Preferably, the person P places their hand on a surface of the authentication device F, where a three-dimensional silhouette of the hand is photographed by a camera. Preferably, protrusions aid positioning of the hand.
Facial profile: A facial profile of the person P can be captured as a three-dimensional model and/or a two-dimensional pattern and/or as an infrared image, or as a combination of these methods. It is also possible for black-and-white or colored images to be captured. The angle of recording can vary, so that profile images and/or frontal images and/or general perspectives can be captured. In relation to time, a static image and/or an image sequence can be captured. The person P is placed in front of the authentication device F and photographed in facial profile by a camera.

Iris profile: A texture of the iris of the person P is captured. Preferably, the person P stands at a distance of a few decimeters in front of the authentication device F and looks into a camera, which camera photographs the iris texture. This photograph is digitized into an iris code.
Preferably, the iris is divided into annular areas, and characteristic features are marked.

Retinal scan: A structure of the veins of the retina of the person P is captured, for example scanned. Preferably, the person P stands at a distance of several decimeters from the authentication device F and looks into a camera, which camera photographs the structure of the veins of the retina.
Preferably, for this purpose the eye is radiated with infrared light. The photoreceptive structures of the eye reflect the infrared light, which reflections are photographed. This photograph is digitized into a retinal code and characteristic features are marked.

Thermogram: Heat radiation from the person P is captured.
Preferably, a heat camera of the authentication device F
photographs a facial and/or whole-body thermogram.

Odor: An odor of the person P is captured by an odor sensor of the authentication device F.

Weight: The weight of a person P is captured by a scale of the authentication device F.

Voice: Vocal pitch and/or breaking voice and/or accents and/or speech impediments of the person P are captured. For this purpose, the person P speaks into a microphone of the authentication device F, and one or more phrases are recorded.

Signature: A signature of the person P is captured, for example scanned. The person P writes a signature on a surface of the authentication device F, which signature is photographed by a camera. Preferably, strokes and/or dynamics and/or sounds of writing the signature are marked and/or determined.
Keystroke: The way in which keys of a keyboard are depressed by the person P is captured. Preferably, the authentication device F determines with sensors the force and/or dynamics of the keystroke.
Walking sequence: The walk of the person P is captured as a sequence. Preferably, the walk of the person P is photographed by a camera of the authentication device F.
Preferably, from several walking sequences a walking sequence typical for the person is established.

At least one authentication signal P2 is advantageously digitized and, in a preceding step of the method, stored as reference B2. The system has a least one control device C, which control device C is, for example, a computing device with a data store, in which data store at least one user profile B of the person P is stored. The user profile B has an access authorization BO to a travel destination, and/or a pre-defined travel destination Bi, and/or a reference B2.

The control device C can be a central remote server, which communicates by radio and/or wire with the recognition device E, the authentication device F, and the elevator installation A.

For the purpose of security control and/or transportation, the person P enters an identification code P1 to a recognition device E, and/or transmits an identification code P1 to a recognition device E. Further, an authentication device F captures an authentication signal P2 of the person P. This identification code P1 and this authentication signal P2 are transmitted by the recognition device E, or the authentication device F respectively, to the control device C.

The control device C checks whether for the identification code P1 a user profile B exists. If the identification check is positive, this user profile B is opened.

Preferably, information about the travel destination of the person P is available to the control device C. The control device C now checks whether the person P is authorized to be transported to this travel destination. To do this, it checks whether the travel destination is listed in the access authorization BO.

The control device C checks further, whether the authentication signal P2 corresponds with the reference B2 stored in the user profile B. For this purpose, certain characteristic features of authentication signal P2 and reference B2 are compared with each other.

If the authentication check is positive, the control device C transmits at least one command signal S3 to the elevator control AS of the elevator installation A, to transport the person P to the travel destination. If the authentication check is negative, the control device C transmits at least one alarm signal. If authentication takes place inside the elevator car, the elevator door is closed and locked, for example, and the elevator does not commence travel. If authentication takes place outside the elevator car, the landing door to the elevator installation A is not opened, for example. Also in the case of a negative authentication check, a security service can be alarmed.

The authentication signals P2 can be more or less certainly related to a person P, and the acceptance on the part of the user of undergoing an authentication is more or less high.
Thus, the iris pattern can be related to a person P with great certainty, but the acceptance of iris-pattern authentication is low. Thus, the weight can be related to a person P with low certainty, but the acceptance of a weight authentication is high.

Certain authentication signals P2 cannot always be individually determined, and only for a small number of persons P to be authenticated are they relatively accurate.

For example, on average taken over a year, with a scale in the floor of the elevator car the weight of a person P is determined to +/- 10%. However, because the person P is often transported in the elevator car with other persons P -and the weight of the person P is thereby indirectly determined as the group weight - the weight, as relatively accurately known authentication signal P2, is only suitable for a small number of persons P to be authenticated, for example for groups of up to five persons P. Even though accuracy of weight determination by a scale in the floor of the elevator car is low, from the determination of the group weight the number of the persons P to be transported can be determined accurately, i.e. whether there are really three persons, and not two or four persons.

In a preferred exemplary embodiment, at least two authentication signals P2 of at least one person P are captured and evaluated. Particularly in high-security systems - and thus in security-sensitive buildings such as banks, military, etc. - several authentication signals P2 from a person P are captured and evaluated. For example, a fingerprint and/or an iris pattern, as well as the weight, of the person P is/are captured. The certainty of the authentication is thereby greatly increased.
This method can be retrofitted into existing elevator installations A with recognition device E by installing an authentication device F. The components of the authentication device F are commercially available and inexpensive.
