ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELEVATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276882 titled 'ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELEVATOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for measuring the position of a car and selecting the optimal run pattern to minimize landing time based on the car's present position and speed.
- Position measuring unit detects car's present position.
- Point-of-origin detecting unit detects car passing at a set distance from landing position.
- Pattern generating units create run patterns with continuous acceleration.
- Pattern selecting unit chooses run pattern to minimize landing time based on car's speed at point-of-origin.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation systems.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently determining the optimal run pattern for a car based on its present position and speed. 2. Minimizing landing time for improved performance and productivity.
Benefits
1. Increased efficiency in car positioning and movement. 2. Enhanced performance and productivity in various applications. 3. Improved accuracy in selecting optimal run patterns.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimal run pattern selection technology could be utilized in autonomous vehicles for transportation, manufacturing robots for production lines, and warehouse automation systems for inventory management.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that use algorithms to optimize movement patterns in robotics and automation, but the specific application to car positioning and run pattern selection based on present position and speed may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle unexpected obstacles or changes in the environment during the car's movement?
The patent application does not provide information on how the system adapts to unexpected obstacles or changes in the environment that may affect the car's movement.
What is the impact of different road conditions or surfaces on the accuracy and efficiency of the system?
The patent application does not address how the system performs on different road conditions or surfaces and whether it may affect the accuracy and efficiency of the position measuring and run pattern selection.
Original Abstract Submitted
A position measuring unit detects a present position of a car. A point-of-origin detecting unit detects a passage of the car at a point-of-origin position which is separated by a distance set in advance from a landing position of the car. Each of pattern generating units generates a run pattern based on mutually different algorithms. In each run pattern, an acceleration from before the car passes the point-of-origin position until the car stops is continuous. A pattern selecting unit selects a run pattern which minimizes a landing time as a run pattern which a run control unit causes a run of the car to follow based on a present position. The pattern selecting unit makes the selection based on a speed of the car at a timing when the car passes the point-of-origin position.
