Patent No. EP3728095 (titled "Method And Elevator Controller For Controlling An Elevator Group Having A Plurality Of Elevators On The Basis Of Destination Calls") was filed by Inventio on Nov 27, 2018. The application was issued on Mar 16, 2022.

Patent Summary

Method for controlling an elevator group with multiple elevators based on destination calls from users, where the service elevator is assigned after a delay period rather than immediately upon receiving the call. The delay period allows consideration of subsequent destination calls and optimizes elevator utilization and user waiting times. The delay period is longer than the calculation time required for assigning the service elevator, and can be dynamically adjusted based on passenger traffic and elevator operation.
