At least one reporting device 5 is mounted near the elevator installation 1. For example, the elevator installation 1 according to FIG. 1 has a signaling device 520 on the uppermost floor S20 and on the other floors SO1, SO2,. S18, S19 a plurality of signaling devices 501, 501 ', 502, 502', .. 518, 518 ', 519, 519', while the elevator installation 1 according to FIG. 4 on each

Floor SO1, SO2, S06, S05, S06 a plurality of signaling devices 501, 501 ', 502, 502',. 506, 506 ', 507, 507', 508, 508 '. As shown in the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 4, a reporting device 502, 502 'may be located close to and / or on an elevator track 21 or away from elevator lines 200, 201 be installed on a floor S02. The reporting device 5 is, for example, an RFID transponder having at least one computer-readable data memory and at least one processor and at least one coil 56.

The mobile device 6 has a further transceiver device

65 for communication via radio network with the reporting device 5 on. The communication between the reporting device 5 and the further transceiver 65 may be bidirectional. From the computer-readable data memory of the mobile device 6, at least one communication

Computer program means loaded into the processor and executed. The communication computer program means controls the transmission and reception of the further transceiver 65. The communication between the further transceiver 65 and the reporting device 5 tracks in a near field radio network of up to one meter reception range at radio frequencies of, for example, 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, 2.46 GHz, etc. For this purpose, FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a part of the method for operating an elevator installation 1.

In method step A, the mobile GERAT 6 is brought into the reception ^¬ range of the reporting device. 5 The signaling device 5 inductively receives energy from an electromagnetic field of the further transceiver 65 via the coil 56 and is energetically activated via at least one activation signal 10. The energetic activation takes place automatically, as soon as the further transceiver 65 is in the reception range of the coil 56 of the reporting device 5 from a few centimeters to a meter.

As soon as the signaling device 5 is energetically activated, in process step B the processor of the reporting device 5 reads at least one network address 11 of the recognition device 3 stored in the computer-readable data memory, which network address 11 is sent via the coil 56 to the further transceiver 65 , The energetic activation of the reporting device 5 and the transmission of the network Address 11 of the recognition device 3 to the further transmission

Reception device 65 takes place without contact. The further transmission

Reception device 65 receives the sent network address

11 of the recognition device 3.

In method step C, the mobile device 6 uses the received network address 11 of the recognition device 3 and sends with the transceiver 63 at least one identification code 12 to the received network address 11 of the recognition device 3. The recognition device 3 receives the identification code 12th

In method step D, the received identification code

12 recognized by the recognition device 3. For this purpose, at least one recognition computer program means is loaded from the computer-readable data memory into the processor. The recognition computer program means controls the verification of the identification code 12 by the recognition device 3. Further, passenger data from the computer-readable data memory are loaded into the processor and compared with the received identification code 12. For a positively verified identification code 12, at least one passenger detection signal 13 is transmitted to the elevator control 4. For a negative verified identification code 12, at least one alarm signal 14 is sent. Subsequently, at least one alarm action is performed in method step E. The alarm action consists for example in a notification by the alarm signal 14 of a security service and / or the police.

In method step F, at least one elevator call 15 is made by the elevator control 4 for a received passenger identification signal 13 or a plurality of possible destination floors are determined. For example, the elevator call 15 is at least one destination call, comprising the call information to a boarding floor and a destination floor of a passenger ^¬. But it is also possible that the elevator call 15 is a combination of at least one landing call and at least one car call, wherein the Floor call includes information about a boarding floor and the car call includes information about a destination floor.

The elevator control 4 controls via the control computer program means the process of the elevator car 2 via the elevator drive and the opening and closing of the elevator door via the door tower. Thus, in process step G, the elevator car 2 is moved by the elevator drive m the boarding floor, from Turantπeb the elevator door is opened and the passenger can enter the elevator car 2. Thereafter, the door drive closes the elevator door and the elevator car 1 is moved by the elevator drive into the destination floor, where the door drive opens the elevator door and the passenger leaves the elevator car 2.

Regardless of all the previous method steps B to G, in step H, the transceiver 63 is brought into the reception range of the radio network of the elevator installation 4, for example in which a passenger carries the mobile device 6 in the building of the elevator installation 4. The method steps A and H can thus take place in a small time offset. The transceiver 63 reports with at least one request signal 16 in the radio network.

In method step I, a network address of the transceiver 63 is determined by the coordination computer program means or a network address is assigned to the transceiver 63. The network address of the transceiver 63 is entered in the connection table and is available to the recognition device 3.

In method step J, the recognition device 3 sends at least one contact receiving signal 17 to the network address of the transmission-reception device 63. With the contact receiving signal 17, the mobile GERAT 6 is requested, whether stored in its computer ^¬ readable data memory at least one application computer program means is. The transceiver 63 receives the contact recording signal and checks in the process Step K, whether an application computer program means in the computer-readable data memory of the mobile device 6 is stored. If this is not the case, the transceiver 63 transmits at least one negation signal 18, whereupon in method step L the recognition device 3 transmits at least one application computer program means to the transceiver 63, which transmits the received application program. Means stores in the computer-readable data memory of the mobile device 6.

If an application computer program means is stored in the computer-readable data memory of the mobile device 6, this is loaded into the processor of the mobile device 6 and executed in method step M. The application computer program means controls the output device 60 of the mobile device 6. The recognition device 3 transmits at least one elevator state information 19 and / or at least one elevator call information 20 to the transceiver 63. The transceiver 63 receives the elevator state information 19 and / or the elevator call information 20. The application computer program means outputs the received elevator state information 19 and / or elevator call information 20 on the output device 60. The same elevator state information 19 and the same elevator call information 20 can also be output from the recognition device 3 on the output device 30 of the recognition device 3.

The passenger thus receives an elevator state information 19 and / or an elevator call information 20. The elevator state information 19 indicates to the passenger in which operating state the elevator installation 1 is located, to which degree the elevator installation 1 is available. For example, a positive elevator state information 19 is: "100% availability", negative elevator state information 18 is, for example, "70% availability, elevator B to 14:30 hours m maintenance". The elevator call information 20 gives the passenger a call acknowledgment and / or a route information. The route information informs the passenger, which elevator and / or which elevator car 2 is intended to move the passenger. Also, the route information guides the passenger from his current position to the elevator car 2. For example, an elevator call information 20 is: "Please go 10 meters to the left and take elevator C". The elevator call information 19 also indicates the boarding floor and the destination floor. Also, the elevator call information 20 indicates to the passenger the expected arrival time of the elevator car 2 on the boarding floor and / or the arrival time of the elevator car 2 on the destination floor. For example, an elevator call information 20 is: "The estimated arrival time of the elevator car is 12 seconds". The elevator state information 18 and the elevator call information 20 are permanently updated. The elevator condition information 19 and the elevator call information 20 can be displayed visually and / or acoustically as more or less long flashing lights, sound sequences, signal sequences, etc.

In method step N, the passenger selects the destination floor again or selects a destination floor from several possible destination floors. For a change of the destination floor, the passenger selects the destination floor output as elevator call information 20 on the output device 30, 60 with the mobile device 6 and / or with the recognition device 3 and selects a destination floor again. For selecting a destination floor, a plurality of possible destination floors ascertained by the elevator control 4 are output to the passenger as elevator call information 20 on the output device 30, 60. The passenger uses the mobile device 6 and / or the recognition device 3 to select a floor from the possible destination floors. The destination floor newly selected by the passenger or the destination floor selected by the passenger is called a passenger confirmation signal

21 transmitted to the elevator control 4. The elevator controller 4 receives the passenger confirmation signal 21 and the control computer program means corrects the elevator call 15. The control computer program means controls the process of the elevator car 2 into the destination floor newly selected by the passenger or into the destination floor selected by the passenger. For example, the mobile device 6 and / or the recognition device 3 has at least one keyboard via which the passenger can change the destination floor by hand. The user enters the destination floor "18" by hand as a sequence of numbers "1" and "8" on the keyboard. The keyboard can also be a touch-sensitive touch screen. For example, by keyboard actuation, the user can move a cursor over possible destination call indications and also, by keyboard actuation, pause the cursor over a destination call indication and thus perform a corresponding changed elevator call, called a

Passenger confirmation signal 21 is transmitted to the elevator control 4.
