METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELEVATOR MOTION DETECTION

摘要

There is provided a method for detecting the motion of a user or object in an elevator, the method comprising measuring the acceleration experienced by the user or object to obtain a series of acceleration measurements; processing the series of acceleration measurements to identify a peak and a trough therein that are associated with the start and end of an elevator motion; identifying a section of the acceleration measurements corresponding to the elevator motion from the identified peak and trough; and determining an indication of the change in elevation of the user or object during the elevator motion from the identified section of the acceleration measurements.
