ELEVATOR-BASED AUDIO/VIDEO/TEXTING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

An elevator-based audio/video/texting emergency communications system configured to facilitate communication between passengers within an elevator car and designated emergency service providers is provided. The system includes cameras located within the elevator car. The cameras observe an interior space of the elevator car. Speakers are located within the elevator car and broadcast audio communication. Microphones are located within the elevator car and transmit audio communication from passengers. Displays located within the elevator car facilitate two-way text communication with elevator car passengers. A processor assembly receives communication from the cameras, speakers, microphones and displays, and processes the electrical communications for connection with other devices. An elevator car ethernet adapter receives communication from the processor assembly. A building ethernet adapter receives communication from the elevator car ethernet adapter. An ethernet switch receives communication from the elevator car ethernet adapter and connects to peripheral communications systems, thereby forming a local area network.
