    "METHOD FOR AUTOMATING THE MAINTENANCE OF A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND, LEGIBLE STORAGE MEANS BY COMPUTER"
    FIELD OF TECHNIQUE [001] The subject disclosed in this document generally refers to the maintenance of the transport system and, more specifically, to a system that facilitates the maintenance of the transport system through interaction with a mobile device.
    DESCRIPTION OF RELATED TECHNIQUE [002] Elevator and escalator service providers typically develop unit maintenance routines based on tests required by code and maintenance tasks specified by the supplier. Maintenance tasks and frequency are based on items such as type of equipment, usage and current condition. Currently, lift and escalator maintenance mechanics perform maintenance routines as scheduled for the particular visit. The mechanic performs the check when visiting the building, giving a view of the performance or state of the system on the day of the visit. In some cases, there may be variations in the way the maintenance task is performed between different mechanics. It is intended to provide both consistency in the performance of maintenance tasks by all mechanics and to provide a summary of performance over time, and not just on the day of the visit.
    SUMMARY [003] According to one embodiment, a method for automating the maintenance of a transport system includes performing automated maintenance tasks on the transport system; store the results of automated maintenance tasks in a maintenance database; and provide maintenance tasks for the mobile device, each maintenance task including a maintenance task identifier and a

    [0024] The characteristics and elements above may be combined in various combinations without exclusivity, unless expressly stated otherwise. These characteristics and elements, as well as their operation, will be more evident in the light of the following description and the attached figures. It should be understood, however, that the following description and figures are intended to be illustrative and explanatory in nature, and not limiting.

    FIG. 5 depicts a user interface on a mobile device in one mode.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0026] FIG. 1 depicts a system 10 according to one or more modalities. System 10 can include one or more transport systems, such as one or more escalators 12 and / or one or more elevators 14, generally referred to as a transport system 16. It is understood that other types of transport systems can be used in modalities (for example, mobile walkways) and the modalities are not limited to the transport systems of FIG. 1. A transport system controller 20 is used to control the operation of the transport system 16 using known techniques. For example, for elevator 14, the transportation system controller 20 would receive calls to elevator cars and direct elevator cars to answer the various calls.
    The controller of the transport system 20 may include a processor 22, a memory 24 and a communication module 26 as shown in FIG. 1. Processor 22 can be any type or combination of computer processors, such as a microprocessor, microcontroller, digital signal processor, application specific integrated circuit, programmable logic device and / or programmable field gate array. Memory 24 is an example of a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium tangibly incorporated into the controller of the transport system 20 that includes executable instructions stored therein, for example, as firmware. Communication module 26 can implement one or more communication protocols as described in more detail in this document.
    [0028] The controller of the transport system 20 is coupled to one or more sensors 28. The sensors 28 can include a variety of different
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 16/39
    7/18 types of sensors. One or more sensors 28 can be incorporated in the transport system 16 and measure the location, speed, voltage / current, vibration, temperature, force, voltage, dimensions, etc. of the transport system components 16. Other sensors 28 may include cameras, people counters, microphones, etc. to capture information relevant to the use of the transport system 16. Thus, the type and nature of sensors 28 are not limited to the modalities described in this document.
    [0029] The transport system controller 20 interfaces with a maintenance database 40 stored on a memory device. The maintenance database 40 can be part of the transport system controller 20, part of a building system or network, or remote memory accessed via a network. The transportation system controller 20 communicates / interfaces with the maintenance database 40 to maintain a list of maintenance tasks and a corresponding maintenance task status. Maintenance tasks can include a variety of maintenance items, including maintenance tasks required by local or regional laws or codes. Examples of tasks required by the code include items such as checking the traction machine for abnormal noise or vibrations, checking that the cabin emergency lighting is working, and checking that the door reversing devices are working as required by the code. Maintenance tasks may also include items provided by the manufacturer of the transport system, whether required by local law or not. Examples of tasks required by the manufacturer include checking that the temperature of the engine room is within the specification of the type of equipment, checking and cleaning the fans installed in cabins and checking the internal records of the transport system. Maintenance tasks can also include a schedule that identifies how often a maintenance task is to be performed. If a maintenance task requires a measurement, the task
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 17/39
    Maintenance 8/18 may also include an acceptable measured value or an acceptable range of measured values. For example, a maintenance task may indicate that the door clearance for an elevator door is checked twice a year and the measured door clearance should be within 5 mm to 10 mm.
    [0030] It is also shown in FIG. 1 a mobile device 30. The mobile device 30 can comprise a device that is typically carried by a person, such as a phone, PDA, wearable electronics, RFID tag, laptop, tablet, watch or any other known portable mobile device. In one embodiment, the mobile device can be a fixed computer terminal. The mobile device 30 can include a processor 32, a memory 34 and a communication module 36 as shown in FIG. 2. Processor 32 can be any type or combination of computer processors, such as a microprocessor, microcontroller, digital signal processor, application specific integrated circuit, programmable logic device and / or programmable field gate array. Memory 34 is an example of a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium tangibly incorporated into the mobile device 30 that includes executable instructions stored therein, for example, as firmware. The communication module 36 can implement one or more communication protocols as described in more detail in this document. The mobile device 30 runs a maintenance application 38, which can be implemented by software stored in memory 34 with instructions executed by the processors 32. The use of the maintenance application 38 is described in more detail in this document. In one embodiment, the maintenance application can be an internet-based portal, where the mechanic can enter.
    [0031] The mobile device 30 and the transport system controller 20 communicate with each other by any means of
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 18/39
    9/18 known communication. According to one or more modalities, the communication between the mobile device 30 and the controller of the transport system 20 is made through systems such as transmitters, converters, receivers and other transmission and processing elements depending on the type of communication selected. For example, the mobile device 30 and the transport system controller 20 can communicate with each other when close to each other (for example, within a threshold distance). The mobile device 30 and the transport system controller 20 can communicate over a wireless network, such as 802. 11x (WiFi), short-range radio (Bluetooth) or any other known type of wireless communication. In some embodiments, the transport system controller 20 may include, or be associated with (for example, communicatively coupled) with a networked element, such as a kiosk, beacon, room call device, flashlight, bridge, router, network node, etc. The networked element can communicate with the mobile device 30 using one or more communication protocols or standards. For example, the networked element can communicate with the mobile device 30 using near field communications (NFC) or any type of known wired or wireless communication medium. In one embodiment, the mobile device 30 and the transport system controller 20 can communicate over a cellular network, satellite network or the internet.
    [0032] FIG. 3 depicts a system 10 for automating the maintenance of the transport system in another mode. The system of FIG. 3 is similar to that of FIG. 1, but maintenance database 40 is accessible over a network 50. Maintenance database 40 may be hosted on a remote device (for example, a server or cloud computing architecture) or other known system. Network 50 can be a wired and / or wireless network, including a local area network, wide area network, global network (for example, the internet), etc. Both the controller of the
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 19/39
    10/18 transport system 20 and the mobile device 30 can access the maintenance database 40 via network 50. This arrangement allows a user of the mobile device 30 to access the maintenance database 40 before reaching a building which houses the transport system controller 20 to view maintenance tasks and the status of the current maintenance task.
    [0033] FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a process for automating the maintenance of the transport system in one mode. The process starts at 100, where automated maintenance tasks for the transport system 16 are performed according to the instructions of the transport system controller 20. Each automated maintenance task can be designed to accomplish a specific task in a maintenance routine. country, code area or type of equipment. These automated maintenance tasks can be performed using a variety of data, including, but not limited to existing system and sensor data, sensor data added specifically to automate maintenance, or camera images / videos. Video analysis can be used to determine whether it is necessary to perform one or more automated maintenance tasks. The system performs automated maintenance tasks between maintenance visits and stores and groups the results in the maintenance database 40.
    [0034] There are a variety of automated maintenance tasks that can be performed by the transport system controller 20. Automated maintenance tasks can include ongoing maintenance tasks. Continuous maintenance tasks can be performed for all operations of the conveyor system 16, such as in all elevator runs, braking on the lift or door cycle, or in continuous escalator operation. An example of ongoing maintenance tasks is to check the
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 20/39
    11/18 landing accuracy at the end of each lift run. The transport system controller 20 collects and groups the compliance data to the required code and the manufacturer's service standards for each landing. The results will specify, for each landing, what percentage of runs since the last maintenance visit has met manufacturing service standards and the standards required by the code. These ongoing maintenance tasks would replace a mechanic who would operate the elevator until each landing to check the performance of landing accuracy. For the task to be checked as performed and completed automatically, 100% of the runs would need to fit the specified standard. The mechanic now has a view of compliance since the last maintenance visit instead of just the day the mechanic is in the building. Another example is to check the machine's conveyor system for noise and vibration within permitted limits in each run for an elevator, or continuously for an escalator. Noise and vibration should be within the limits for all runs to specify that the task was performed automatically.
    [0035] Automated maintenance tasks may include scheduled maintenance tasks. These scheduled maintenance tasks are tests that perform a defined procedure to verify the maintenance task. These scheduled maintenance tasks could be performed at a configurable rate, such as every hour, daily or weekly. An example of scheduled maintenance tasks includes running a brake test every night when an elevator is idle. In order for scheduled maintenance tasks to be checked as performed and completed automatically, each test run should pass the required test. Another example would be to test the elevator car emergency lights daily or weekly by turning off the normal cabin lighting, turning on the emergency lighting and checking the
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 21/39
    12/18 lighting required by the code. Every test should pass to specify that the task was performed automatically.
    [0036] Automated maintenance tasks may include data collection based on event-driven maintenance tasks. Event-driven maintenance tasks are tests that monitor specific events and use detected data from sensors 28 to automatically determine the health of a component of the transport system. An example would be to check the elevator button transitions as evidence of the health of a particular button. Another example would be to check for the existence or absence of existing recorded events for health evidence.
    [0037] Examples of automated maintenance tasks also include checking that the buttons in the aisle or inside the elevator car work correctly, checking that all lights and lamps inside the elevator car are working, checking that the machine bearing is not doing noise, check that the position indicator inside the cabin is working correctly, check the accuracy of the load weighing, check that the lift door reversing devices are working correctly, check the accuracy of the elevator landing on each landing, check the specification of the quality of the elevator run, check the operation of the elevator door and check the cleanliness of the elevator shafts, elevator machine rooms or escalator control spaces. The modalities are not limited to the automated maintenance tasks described in this document.
    [0038] With reference to FIG. 4, as the transport system controller 20 performs automated maintenance tasks at 100, the results of automated maintenance tasks are stored in maintenance database 40 at 102. Results can include an automated maintenance task identifier, execution date / time, measured value, reference value and status of the maintenance task (completed
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 22/39
    13/18 or not completed). If a condition is detected that requires more immediate attention, the system can automatically notify the mobile device 30 about that condition and a corresponding maintenance task to resolve the condition.
    [0039] In 104, the system determines whether maintenance tasks should be provided to the mobile device 30. This can occur in several ways. In one embodiment, the user submits a request from the mobile device 30 to access the maintenance database 40. In other embodiments, maintenance tasks are automatically sent via a send operation to the mobile device 30. In others, modalities, a maintenance calendar (or other maintenance scheduling system) automatically sends maintenance tasks to the mobile device 30 in response to a maintenance calendar event. If there is no need to send maintenance tasks to the mobile device 30, system 10 will continue to perform automated maintenance tasks and update the maintenance database 40 out of 100 and 102.
    [0040] If, at 104, a condition needs to provide maintenance tasks for the mobile device 30, the flow will proceed to 106, where the maintenance tasks are provided for the mobile device 30. The mobile device 30 can access the database maintenance 40 via the transport system controller 20 (FIG. 1) or the maintenance database 40 directly via network 50 (FIG. 3). The mobile device 30 or the transport system controller 20 maps the automated maintenance checks to the maintenance tasks currently scheduled for the transport system. This mapping can be based on simple logic or complex analysis (such as video analysis). The algorithms and analyzes can be done locally on the user's device 30 or the data can be transmitted to remote servers or platform
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 23/39
    14/18 cloud computing and the results transmitted back to the mobile device 30. The maintenance task list can specify maintenance tasks that were performed and completed automatically, maintenance tasks that were performed automatically and are not completed, and manual maintenance tasks that are not automated and must be performed manually by the user. The user can review the results of all automated tests performed by the system.
    [0041] FIG. 5 depicts an example of a user interface on the mobile device 30. The user interface features maintenance tasks with a descriptor 202 and a status indicator 204. The status indicator 204 indicates whether the maintenance task has been completed or not. For example, the status indicator 204 may turn green if a maintenance task is completed and may turn red if the maintenance task is not completed. Maintenance tasks not completed require some user action to complete the maintenance task. The user can select an unfinished maintenance task identifier 202 for instructions on how to complete the incomplete maintenance task. The user can also select a complete maintenance task identifier 202 to view the results (for example, measured values) of an automated maintenance task.
    [0042] Referring back to FIG. 4, at 108, the user completes maintenance tasks identified as not completed. As the user completes each maintenance task, the flow proceeds to 110, where the mobile device 30 transmits an indication of the completion of the maintenance task. The user can mark the task as completed on the mobile device 30 via user input. Maintenance database 40 is updated by a remote device via network 50 or via the transport system controller 20. Any values
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 24/39
    15/18 measurements obtained at the completion of the maintenance task can be loaded into storage in the maintenance database 40. Some maintenance tasks will simply require an entry that the task has been completed (for example, lubricating the door pulley).
    [0043] In 112, it is determined whether all maintenance tasks not completed have been completed. Otherwise, the flow resumes at 108, where the user continues to work on completing unfinished maintenance tasks. Once all maintenance tasks are completed at 112, the flow returns to 100.
    [0044] Modalities provide a better quality of maintenance.
    Automated checks can provide a summary of performance since the user's last visit instead of just checking the day the user visits the unit. Modalities provide consistency of maintenance tasks for all mechanics, regions and countries. Modalities provide the ability to automatically check the required criteria based on the type of equipment or the applicable code area. Modalities provide the ability to prioritize maintenance tasks that the mechanic performs on a unit. Modalities provide improved safety to the elevator mechanic by eliminating the need for the mechanism to enter potentially hazardous areas (for example, the elevator shaft, opening for the elevator, etc.). Modalities provide greater mechanical efficiency, since the user (for example, mechanic) does not need to perform maintenance tasks automatically verified by the system. The user can focus on maintenance tasks that require attention.
    [0045] Although the modalities described above have been described in reference to transport systems, it is understood that modalities can be applied to other type of building equipment that is configurable for automated testing by a controller. For example, an HVAC controller could provide automated testing of system components
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 25/39
    16/18
    HVAC and provide maintenance tasks to a user according to the modalities described in this document.
    [0046] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail in connection with only a limited number of modalities, it should be readily understood that the present disclosure is not limited to such disclosed modalities. Instead, the present disclosure may be modified to incorporate any number of variations, alterations, substitutions, combinations, subcombination or equivalent arrangements, hitherto not described, but which are commensurate with the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, although several modalities of this disclosure have been described, it should be understood that aspects of this disclosure may include only some of the described modalities.
    [0047] The terminology used in this document is intended to describe particular modalities only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in this document, the singular forms "one", "one" and o / a are intended to also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of characteristics, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components indicated, but do not preclude the presence or the addition of one or more other characteristics, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups thereof.
    [0048] The description was presented for purposes of illustration and description, but it is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the modalities in the disclosed form. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The modalities were chosen and described in order to better explain the principles of dissemination and application in practice, and to enable others ordinarily versed in the technique to understand various modalities with various
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 26/39
    17/18 modifications as will be suitable for the particular use contemplated. [0049] The present modalities can be a system, a method and / or a computer program product at any level of possible technical detail of integration. The computer program product may include a computer-readable storage medium (s) that have (in) computer-readable program instructions on the same (s) to make a processor perform aspects of the present disclosure. [0050] Computer readable program instructions can be executed entirely on the mobile device, partially on the mobile device, as a standalone software package, partially on the mobile device and partially on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the latter scenario, the remote computer can be connected to the mobile device through any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or the connection can be made to an external computer ( for example, over the internet using an Internet Service Provider). In some embodiments, electronic circuits including, for example, programmable logic circuits, field programmable gate arrangements (FPGA), or programmable logic arrangements (PLA) can execute computer-readable program instructions using status information from the program instructions computer readable to personalize the electronic circuits in order to carry out the aspects of this disclosure.
    [0051] The flowchart and block diagrams in the Figures illustrate the architecture, functionality and operation of possible implementations of computer program systems, methods and products according to various modalities. In this regard, each block in the flowchart or block diagrams can represent a module, segment or portion of the instructions, which comprises one or more executable instructions for the implementation of the specified logical function (s) . In some
    Petition 870180025098, of 03/28/2018, p. 27/39
    18/18 alternative implementations, the functions observed in the blocks can occur out of the order observed in the Figures. For example, two blocks shown in succession can actually be executed substantially simultaneously, or the blocks can sometimes be executed in reverse order, depending on the functionality involved. It will also be noted that each block of the block diagrams and / or the flowchart illustration and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and / or the flowchart illustration can be implemented by special purpose hardware-based systems that perform the functions or acts specified or performing combinations of special-purpose hardware and computer instructions.
    [0052] The descriptions of the various modalities have been presented for purposes of illustration, but are intended to be exhaustive or limited to the disclosed modalities. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those ordinarily versed in the technique without departing from the scope and spirit of the modalities described. The terminology used in this document was chosen to better explain the principles of the modalities, the practical application or technical improvements in relation to the technologies found in the market or to enable others ordinarily versed in the technique to understand the modalities disclosed in this document.
    [0053] Therefore, the present disclosure should not be seen as limited by the description above, but is only limited by the scope of the attached claims.
