    DESCRIPTION

    Method and system of access control and use of community elevators.

    Technical sector 5

    The system to be patented is part of the demotic and computer control sector applied to elevators and elevators.

    State of the art / background 10

    We know about the existence of different elevator control systems, but not the one that is intended here to be patented. For example, there are some that do not allow access to certain levels (either by the absence of the button of a certain floor of the building or that can only be accessed by using a private key that performs the function of the button and that it is in the hands of the authorized person or persons), or others who, depending on the proximity of the elevator to the landing where the call has been made, the system sends to the elevator (in buildings with more than one) nearest with The purpose of saving waiting time and energy.
     twenty
    Another of the best known is the one that is implanted in numerous hotels around the world: the client is given a card that he introduces in a reader located inside the elevator and that allows him, exclusively, to access the plant where his room. It is a highly efficient control and security system that is also used in buildings where neighbors all live on a rental basis. 25

    Finally, a similar patent is developed by the Polytechnic Superior School of the Coast, of the province of Guayaquil, in Ecuador, which only allows the use of the elevator to those neighbors who are up to date with the fees that are derived from the service, and notes a system for blocking said elevator for non-payment. 30

    What is intended is that the elevator can only be used when its use has been authorized by some building property, which will allow the access and use of the elevator to be controlled. You might think that knowing that neighbor / resident / visitor makes use of the elevator, objectively, would be simple. But is not. It is not about implanting a meter that collects how many times a day (or a year) the elevator has been required in a given plant. What is involved is to collect the authorizations of use of each elevator, for a period of time, made by each of the buildings of the building, without the possibility of error, manipulation or bad faith. It would be no use knowing that the elevator, in one day, has climbed 17 times to the "2" floor if there are 40 more than one floor or building on the same floor. It is not about identifying the user; it is about identifying who (property) authorizes it.

    In short, we believe that the system to be patented can be very useful in neighboring communities. Four. Five

    Explanation of the invention.

    The vast majority of today's society lives in apartment buildings in a community of neighbors, whether they are owners or for rent. What is clear is that the 50 tenants or owners of each floor pay what they consume of the services that
    They have, like water, gas, electricity or telephone. In addition, according to the regime to which the adhered building (normally the one with horizontal ownership) will meet the community fees, such as cleaning the stairs, repair of works or porter salaries, depending on what was agreed by the Community of owners in its day, that is, by coefficient, in equal parts ... 5

    But how is the cost of the building's elevator or elevators distributed Well, as a community expense more; either by coefficient or in equal parts, regardless of the use that each owner makes; This is because there is no way to know the consumption that each building's building makes of the elevator. 10

    The fact of not having an accountant, a system of control of the use made of the community elevator causes, on a few occasions, an abuse that must be assumed by everyone, even the restrained neighbors who use it correctly. This is clearly an unfair system, which also does not encourage energy savings and maintenance of the common installation or facilities. Moreover, many owners disregard saying that "the Community pays" when, in reality, they are the Community. But on the other hand, it is considered, and it is logical, that everyone wants and wants to pay exactly for what they consume. In addition, it must be remembered that current legislation allows companies such as hairdressers, offices of 20 liberal professionals, medical consultations, etc. to be installed in neighboring communities. that result in an important elevator use and that is satisfied by the entire Community, regardless of the use made by each owner.

    In addition, it should be added that not in a few neighboring communities there are defaults by 25 of one or more owners, for any reason. With the system here to be implemented, if an owner does not assume the cost of the elevator that corresponds to him, the Community may prevent the use of this common element by blocking the access mechanism. As happens if you do not pay the electricity or gas where the affected company cuts off the supply. 30

    It is therefore a question of patenting a method and a system of control of the use of the community elevator (or elevators) that only allows access and use of the elevator if it has been authorized by a building property through a current authorized account and that includes the identification and the registration of the property that has authorized each of its 35 uses. The management of this register of uses of the elevator will allow each property to assume, for example, the cost that corresponds to it depending on the actual use made of it, as it happens with other types of supplies and services available to the Community.

    In the realization of the present invention, one or more authorized accounts 40 have been assigned to each building property creating an authentication database in a computer system. Whenever an elevator is not used, it will be locked (call buttons in the "idle" state, closed elevator doors and no access to the interior, even if a call button is pressed). When a user (resident in the building or not, or community service staff of the building) wants to use the elevator 45, he must use an authentication device (whose technology is not defined separately in this invention) that will identify the authorized account used. A server program hosted in the computer system will receive the data of the authorized account used, validate it (if it is in the authentication database), record its data, together with the date and time, in a register of elevator uses that 50 will also be housed in the computer system and unlock the elevator (by passing the call button of the
    plant of the user to the state of "pending use with authorization accepted" and those of the remaining plants to the state of "busy"). A signaling, of the mentioned call button of the elevator, will allow the user to know its status and when I can proceed to call it. Also, inside the elevator, a sign on the operating panel will let you know if any destination has been authorized (he can choose the 5 destination) or a single destination has been authorized (that of the plant on which the building is located Authentication device has been used for authorization).

    There will be two types of authentication devices that will result in different responses from the server: 10

    - the one that will be located next to the call button of each elevator door and on each floor of the building, if the use with one of them is authorized, access will only be unlocked to the elevator of the floor on which the device is located and will allow to the user the selection of a free destination 15

    - the one located inside each property; This device will have two distinct options. If the use with one of them is authorized, access to the elevator of the building's access floor will be unlocked and, depending on the option selected, will allow the user to select a free destination or press the enabled destination (20 of the plant in which the property is located whose authentication device has been used for authorization).

    When the elevator has been unlocked for having enabled its use with a current authorized account, the user will be given time to respond (press 25 of the call button, destination selection, ...) at each step of the process; If, after that time, there has been no response, the elevator will be blocked again and requiring a new authorization for unlocking.

    - Advantages of the invention: The management of the recorded data will allow the cost of the use and maintenance of the elevator or elevators to be objectively reduced, but this is not the only advantage; This system allows to have a control of who enters the building, being responsible for the access to the elevator to the person who facilitates its use. For example, in case of doubt about a call to enter the building by an alleged mailman, the neighbor can open only the door of the street for this 35 deposit the letters in the mailboxes but does not provide access to the elevator .

    The fact of registering the day and time, in addition to the floor that has authorized the use or has used the elevator, allows the system to serve to facilitate certain investigations in specific cases, such as theft, damage, etc. And, taking into account that it does not identify the user, it is perfectly compatible with current legislation on data protection and personal privacy.

    This system would also promote employment as it would generate jobs related to demotics and community management. Four. Five

    Detailed presentation of the embodiment

    The present invention describes a method and equipment that allows access to the elevator to a given user in community elevators 30 only if it has been authorized by a current authorized account; that, in addition, it identifies and records, in a register of uses, the origin of the authorization of said access; and that, also, manages the information collected. To do this, it uses the following elements and procedures: 35

    - Assign to each building building (understanding by property: the floors, offices, as well as community services if any) one or more authorized accounts. These authorized accounts will be formed by identifying digits (for example: street or avenue, number, stairs, floor and door) that will contain the information necessary to identify each property followed by other digits that allow identifying each of the peripheral devices / authentication keys / patterns (cards and copies thereof, passwords, push buttons inside the floors, fingerprints ...) that the property has enabled to make authorizations for the use of the elevator; example of authorized account of the property located in Calle Debajo núm. 13 1st floor / card 2 45 would be as follows: D-13-1-A / 2. The community services (cleaning staff, maintenance staff, counseling, etc ...) of the building will also have certain digits; the digits that identify the property will be the same for all of them and will be followed by the differentiating digits that identify the peripheral device / password / authentication pattern that will be exclusive for each of them and 50
    that will allow their identification; example of the building located in Calle Debajo núm. 13 community services / cleaning staff card 2: D-13-SC / PL-2.

    - An authentication database with a list of the digits of all current authorized accounts, with their respective authentication keys or patterns, and in which 5 each of the authorized accounts is linked to a building property. A property may have several authorized accounts linked, but one account may only be linked to one property

    - A register of uses, where all and each one of the 10 authorizations for the use of the lift made are recorded and stored. Each of the entries will consist of the digits of the authorized account that has been used together with the year, month, day, hour, minute and second of each authorization to use the elevator.

    -A computer system (14) that stores the authentication database and the register 15 of uses of the elevator and that has, in addition to a server program (13) and administration software.

    - The elevator call buttons may be in three possible situations that are indicated by a call button signaling: different colors, intermittent or non-monochromatic illumination 20, acoustic signals or any other method that differentiates the three situations. These states will be: "rest" (elevator blocked due to lack of authorization for use: closed doors and no possibility to access inside, even if the call button is pressed, the elevator will not move), "busy" (elevator in use : no new authorizations can be made while in this state, the pressing of the call button will not have any effect) and "pending use with authorization accepted" (elevator unlocked for having authorized its use: the call button the plant in which the user is will be in that state and those of the remaining floors will go to the "busy" state, when the call button is pressed the elevator will move to said floor by opening the doors and allowing the user access inside).

    - A set of peripheral authentication devices (4, 5, 11, 12), whether magnetic cards with their corresponding reader, alphanumeric keyboards, push buttons on each floor, biometric systems, mobile devices ..., which, when used by a user, 35 identify and transmit the authorized account used, to the computer system for validation. If this is validated, the server of the computer system will proceed to the authorization of the use of the elevator, unlocking the corresponding call button, and will register the authorization in the registration of uses, otherwise the use of the elevator will not be authorized. There will be two types of authentication devices, whose description and operation will be as follows:

    A first type (4, 5) are those installed next to the elevator call button (figures 1 and 2) and on each floor of the building. When one of the aforementioned devices of a plant and elevator is used, it will cause the call button (in "idle" state until then 45) adjacent to said device, pass, this and only this, to the "pending use" state with authorization accepted "; Simultaneously the call buttons of the same elevator of the rest of the floors will enter the "busy" state. This situation will remain a few seconds, long enough, after which if the corresponding call button has not been pressed in a state of "pending use with 50 authorization accepted" the whole elevator will be locked again, turning the button
    of call to the situation of "rest". In this situation, when the aforementioned call button in the state of "pending use with authorization accepted" is pressed, the elevator will move to the floor from which it has been requested, the door will be opened and illuminated (being able to accompany or replace with an acoustic identification) all buttons on the destination selector panel located inside it; When the user selects a destination, all buttons will turn off except for the button of the selected destination. In addition, the pressed call button will return, this and only this one, to the "idle" state and its adjoining authentication device, and only it, will be able to receive new authorizations as long as they are made before the elevator door closes ; when it is closed, the said call button will go to the "busy" state, not allowing new authorizations until it returns to the "idle" situation. Users, already inside the elevator, can select a destination for each authorization. The elevator will always carry out entire routes between authorizations not stopping by calls made by third parties during the authorized service. The rest of the functions of the elevator 15 will be maintained as the opening of doors from the inside or door closing system with obstacle detector or destination button locked with key, etc.

    A second type is the authentication devices (11, 12) that each property will have inside, being able to be located next to the device (10) that facilitates access to the building from the outside. In this case the device will have two distinct options. In both options, the device, when used, and when it has been verified that it corresponds to a current authorized account, will unlock the elevator by passing the elevator call button of the building access floor, and only this button, to the state of "pending use with authorization accepted" but 25 giving rise, depending on the option selected, to two different situations: first option (12) - selection of free destination, the system will act as indicated in the first type ; second option (11) - destination associated with the floor that authorizes, in this case, when the elevator call has been made and the door of the elevator is opened, only a single button will light up on the destination selector panel inside , that which corresponds to the plant where the property that has the authorized service account is linked, without the user being able to select another destination. The user must press the button to start the tour. In both cases, if the destination is not selected and after u seconds, as indicated above, the elevator will be blocked again, returning the call button to the "idle" state.

    Figure 7 shows a scheme with the different responses of the server program according to the authentication device used.
     40
    - The server program (13) mentioned above will receive the requirements of the peripheral authentication devices (4, 5, 11, 12), will obtain the status of the authorized account used, validate it or not, and, if applicable, unlock the elevator and record the usage data in the usage log. The operation of said program can be seen in Figure 8, flow chart of the algorithm that executes the server program.

    - The aforementioned administration software will process the information stored in the use register; This will allow, selecting all the entries of the authorizations that have the accounts linked to a property, to know how many services 50 have been authorized for each building property, allowing the distribution of costs
    of use of the elevator proportionally to the authorizations that each property has made. Said computer program will also allow the management of the authentication database, allowing, for various reasons (for example, not to pay the Community fees for a property), the temporary or permanent suspension of one or all of the authorized accounts linked to a specific property, deactivating them. 5 This will cause when any one of the authentication devices detects said suspended or deactivated accounts and, therefore, not in force, the system does not allow access and use of the elevator, keeping the elevator locked (elevator call buttons on state of "rest"). Likewise, the computer system will allow the assignment of new authorized accounts to a specific property by adding them to the existing ones 10 or modifying the authentication keys or patterns thereof.

    Response of the invention to different situations

    Different situations may occur in buildings with an elevator or elevators. For any of them, the system must respond to each need. Obviously, depending on the complexity of each building, the system will be slightly different, although the philosophy will be the same. The system is designed to solve all possible situations that may occur in the Community of neighbors, with one or several elevators, even with private access floors. And obviously it will be a safe and objective system 20, designed so that errors or charges for its use cannot be given that do not apply.

    1. The simplest case is one in which there is only one elevator in the building.
     25
    to. The residents of each floor, as well as having a set of keys to access the building and to enter their home, will be in possession of a card with magnetic stripe which will identify the property to which it belongs. It is a card like the one that the vast majority of people have, be it banking, commercial, etc. The magnetic stripe will contain the identifying digits of the authorized account linked to the property to which it belongs. There will be one card per property with as many copies as deemed necessary (the holder may provide a copy to whoever he wishes, knowing that the use of these will be his responsibility).

    The neighbor, once located before the elevator door you are going to use and next to the typical or typical buttons that are outside it to call the device (to go up to your floor, go down to the parking lot ... as you collect in figures numbers 1 and 2), you will find a card reader (figure 4) through which yours will pass. The passage of the card will allow the unlocking of the elevator call button. The user will press the call button and access the interior of the elevator. There, the system will allow you to select a destination (one and only one).

    That is, the card pass allows access to the interior of the elevator on the one hand and on the other hand to select a destination button.
     Four. Five
    The fact that you can only select one destination is because each trip is accompanied by a usage note; In addition, if two or more neighbors who go to different landings go up to the elevator, each one will select their floor, after passing their respective cards through the reader. If instead they go to the same floor and go up to the elevator both (or more) at the same time the trip will be charged to the one that has passed 50
    First the card by the reader. That is, a card pass allows you to select a destination; two card passes (same or different) two destinations, and so on.

    The reader will identify the card, assigning the operation to a specific property (authorized account), and a computer program will also record the day, time, 5 minutes and the second of the event. This information will be registered for its collection and treatment in the registry of uses of the computer system by means of the corresponding annotation.

    This same operation must be done by the user if he intends to use the elevator when leaving 10 of his property and go to the street, to the garage or to another floor of the building.

    To make the system more intuitive, when it allows the user to unlock the call button and select a plant on the panel, inside the elevator, with the destination buttons (figure 3), these will be illuminated to allow the selection of a destination, and all will be turned off except the button pressed when a destination has already been selected.

    You can also choose, to accompany the illumination of the buttons, with acoustic signals and indications, for example "please press the button of the 20 destination plant".

    The present access operation through the use of magnetic card is advisable in cases of buildings where there is already an elevator. Its placement is considered simple and the cost relatively inexpensive. In the new elevators 25 this system can be replaced by a numeric or alphanumeric keypad (figure 5), located next to the call button, where each user will enter their secret number to unlock the call button. Likewise, the introduction of the secret number will allow, within the elevator, the selection of a destination, and will record to which property the event will be imputed, generating an entry (digits of the authorized account as well as day, hour, minute and second of the operation), in the register of uses. The authentication database will have the secret number linked to an authorized real estate account.

    b. But in the same family or in a property there can be people who by age or any situation are not in a position to be able to assume the responsibility of using or being in possession of keys or cards. Case, for example, of children, of certain elderly ... These people, currently if they go alone and do not have the keys to the building, cannot access their home if there is no one to open the door of the street through the telephone or intercom (10) inside the 40 floor.

    With the system that is intended here to patent, the same thing will happen. They can only access the elevator (after entering the building) if from their home (or another they have called and facilitates access) they are authorized to enter the elevator by pressing a device (11 or 12) installed nearby or in the interior telephone of each floor (figure 6). And once inside the elevator, select a destination. That is, as in the previous cases, the system will facilitate by pressing from the telephone a unlock of the elevator call button that will facilitate access to its interior and the selection of a single destination once inside it. Each time the use of the elevator is authorized from the device, the computer will record in the register
    of uses, the apartment / building that authorized it (digits of the authorized account), the day and time, the minute and the second. This pulsation system must consist of two buttons (11 and 12), since there will be two situations in which we can find ourselves: first (11), exclusively authorize the trip to the destination plant where the person who authorizes it resides (example: the mother let the girl go up in 5 elevator home), in this case, by unlocking access to the elevator, in the destination selector panel (figure 3) inside it will only illuminate the button of the plant on which the property is authorizing, not allowing another selection; second (12), authorize any destination regardless of the plant to which it is directed and which is found by the one who facilitates it, in this case, by unlocking access to the elevator, in the destination selector panel of its interior they will be illuminated all the buttons, allowing the selection of any of them (example: the 2ºA neighbor has opened the door to 5ºC because he has left the keys and asks him to open the door of the building and take the elevator). That is, the system must allow these two options that are also useful to prevent possible abuse; Thus, if someone 15 accesses the elevator before the person who has been authorized (because the corridor is long and that is still entering and he is already in front of the elevator door ...) and intends to use the elevator without authorization or without pass the card, the system will only allow you to go to the plant where the travel authorizer resides (if it presses the corresponding button that allows only the selection of your plant), which in most cases will cause the user they abuse decline their fraudulent use.

    In case of exit (instead of entry) of the property, the user can only access the elevator if an authorized person passes the card through the reader slot (figure 4) or dials a correct password on the alphanumeric keypad of the 25th floor elevator in which is the person who wants to leave.

    C. Access to non-residents in the building will be the same as in the previous section: a visit is coming; call from the portal; the street door opens; the one who receives the visit unlocks the call button of the elevator of the access floor to the building by means of the button installed in the telephone of the building and the selection of a single destination is facilitated, and the user (the visit) calls the elevator and access inside. Once inside, choose the floor you are going to (with illuminated button, for example). The unlocking of the elevator call button is recorded in the register of uses: floor or property that authorizes the trip (digits of the authorized account), day, 35 hour, minute and second. If a non-resident is going to visit more than one neighbor (for example, gas check, community repairs ...), each time he will have to be authorized by the corresponding access to the elevator through one of the indicated systems, not if I go down the stairs ...
     40
    d. Control for other personnel accessing the property. In addition to tenants, visits, repairs, etc. there are different people who access the building, such as the cleaning staff of the Community or the maintenance staff of the elevator itself. These people have the relevant set of keys that enables them to access the building. Well, through this system 45 they will also have a card that must pass through the magnetic reader, with one difference: the code of these cards will be such that they will not impute the use of the elevator to a specific neighbor but to the entire Community. That is to say, the computer system will link the annotations made with the authorized accounts for said persons with the generic community services building that has been enabled for this purpose in the authentication database. Case of choosing the keyboard
    Alphanumeric will have their own access code, being also linked to the generic property indicated above. In both cases, the computer system will record, in the register of uses, the digits of the authorized account along with the date, day, hour and minute of each authorization made.
     5
    In all cases the system will write down the property that it will assume, the authorization of the use of the elevator in the registration of uses, despite not having made a call to the device after the corresponding authorization / unlocking, or not having selected a destination; although without these three operations the device will not move. If there are two or more users who access the interior of the elevator and go to different destinations 10 they must complete the three steps of the protocol. If not, after a few seconds the elevator will be blocked again as will be seen later. And as stated, to facilitate and make the system more intuitive, pressing the call button and the destination selection button will be accompanied by light indications as will be specified in a timely manner. fifteen

    2. Buildings with more than one elevator

    The placement of a card reader / alphanumeric device is recommended for each elevator and plant access to facilitate the management of the system, instead of one only 20 per plant. The mode of use of the two or more elevators shall be the same as specified above with the qualifications indicated in this section. In the case of authorization by pressing from the intercom the system must be programmed in such a way as to unlock the elevator button that is currently free, or failing that closest to the user 25 to, as far as possible , save time and electricity. In the case of access through the passage of an alphanumeric card or keyboard, the system will operate in the same way as if there is only one elevator, with the corresponding luminous indications, to be able to differentiate between free and occupied elevators at that time and, in order to , to be able to choose the elevator to be used by the user. 30

    3. Common considerations

    To facilitate the implementation of the system and the accompanying computer support, it is considered that: 35

    to. In the cases that the installation of the necessary wiring is complicated or expensive, wireless connections will be chosen and wave coverage must be guaranteed at all times.
     40
    b. The elevators will not be programmed to make intermediate stops between calls, that is, they will make entire routes. In this way, no more elements will have to be introduced into the system (such as a call suppression button) that would only complicate the user and the computer program to be developed. Thus, for example, if it were allowed to stop the elevator in the middle of a journey so that another person or persons could access it and the elevator was full, the user who requested it and has been authorized could not enter so that that the trip will not be charged, the operation should be canceled and another one allowed again ...

    Examples of the specified control procedures

    • Example: the 2nd and 6th neighbors access the building at the same time and the two choose to use the building's unique elevator: one after another they pass their card through the magnetic reader, the system will allow two access unlocks inside the building. elevator, 5 and once inside the system authorizes the selection of two destinations, so each one selects their own. All this is specified in the corresponding claim. The system can also be used as follows: the neighbor of the 2nd passes his card and selects his destination and the neighbor of the 6th, who has also accessed the interior of the elevator, and who has not passed his card (and therefore cannot select destination) when you are on the second floor you must leave the elevator to pass your card through the reader that will unlock the elevator call button, allowing you to select your destination again; otherwise it will stay on the second floor.
     fifteen
    • Example: the neighbor of the 8th once inside the elevator mistakenly presses the 6 key instead of the 8 and the elevator for 2 floors below: if you do not want to walk up the stairs you must re-insert the card into the reader to unlock the call button and thus be able to access the interior of the elevator again and press the floor key 8 20

    • Example: the person in charge of cleaning the Community and a neighbor agree to the entrance of the elevator to go up; the first one goes to the roof to be cleaned and the second one to its floor: each one will pass his card as in the first example, with the difference that the use of the service requested by the person in charge will be linked to the generic building 25 of community services.

    • Example: buildings with porter service in certain time slots: when the doorman is not in the Community, proceed as in the cases described above. At times where the worker is in the building, when he asks the visitor the floor he is going to, and by using the card of the property in question, he will facilitate access to the elevator. To do this, as well as having a whole series of community keys (roof, storage rooms, counters, etc.) you will have a card from each floor and that you will use depending on which property the visit is going to or, if installed, will proceed to Press the alphanumeric keypad by entering the code of the destination property.

    • Example: a marriage leaves the dentist's floor located on the 11th floor and the wife wants to stop on the 5th floor to visit a friend and the husband cannot wait: when leaving the dentist, by passing the card, it will be facilitated the use of the elevator at 40 marriage. Once inside the elevator you can choose 1) go down the street to the two and from there the wife call the floor of the neighbor to give access to the elevator or 2) press button 5 and when there the elevator stops wait to have the friend unlock the elevator and allow the husband to go to the street.
     Four. Five
    • Example: buildings with two elevators. An owner enters the building and prepares to call the elevator, and at that moment another neighbor opens the door of the street and unlocks the system so that a person can go up to visit him, and each one goes to a different floor. As stated, the system will send the elevator that is currently free and / or closer. The visitor can now access the elevator as 50 has been indicated, and the owner, if not going to the same floor as the other person
    will pass your card allowing the unlocking of the call button and already inside the elevator select destination. If you choose not to go up with the visitor you will go to another elevator and perform the three steps known.

    All these examples, and others, are supported by the claims indicated below.

    Data Collect

    Thus, at the end of the year the system will have collected and recorded all the authorizations 10 made for each property and those of the community services (cleaning staff, etc.) Each entry will have the day, time, digits of the authorized account ( street-building number-floor-door number-peripheral element used for authorization.
     fifteen


    Current technology allows the system that collects data to be located outside the building, being able to be installed at the headquarters of the company hired for the maintenance and repair of the elevators, and thus facilitate reading and downloading. twenty

    The company that manages the computer system will be responsible for the control of the authorized accounts of each property, with actions such as issuing cards and their copies, blocking or canceling them, blocking passwords of the alphanumeric keypad, blocking of the account of a property, etc. 25

    specs

    To reduce costs it is not necessary that the card with magnetic stripe is personalized. At the discretion of the Community, it may be so and on the obverse have 30 name of the street, number and floor of who corresponds. In case of loss (if it is not recovered) or theft, it must be annulled, so the code that will be available will be such that it can be annulled and modified by another. For example, the 1st floor of Debajo street no. 13 want 3 cards: their codes will be D-13-1-A / 1, D-13-1-A / 2 and D-13-1-A / 3. In case of loss or subtraction of the D-13-1-A / 3 it is canceled and another 35 is granted with the code D-13-1-A / 4 The reader must detect the five digits (or those in each case correspond). In case the lost or lost card will pass through the reader once canceled, the system will not unlock the elevator access button.

    The information recorded (optionally as stated) on the front of the card 40 will not need to be entered in the magnetic strip (street, floor, door ...). The
    Magnetic stripe should only contain the digits necessary to identify the card and the property to which it is attached.

    Card readers installed on the side of the elevator entrance door should read the card digits and send the data to the computer system via cable or wireless system. We remind you once again that the system, once the card has been passed, will unlock the call button allowing access to the interior of the elevator by the user, and once within the selection a single destination. It is important to emphasize that if there is no destination selection once the user is inside the elevator it will not move and the elevator will be locked again. 10

    Likewise, the illumination of the buttons (called -figures 1 and 2- and of selection of the destination plant -figure 3-) can be replaced by voice messages. Or both at the same time, and thus allow and facilitate the use of the devices to blind people or those with sensory difficulties. For example, the system once the user is inside the elevator 15 can say "please select a destination", or at the threshold of access to the elevator, once the card has been passed or authorized to use "elevator unlocked" , press the call button ... ''

    In the case of newly manufactured devices, as noted, the card and the reader 20 can be replaced by an alpha numeric keypad (figure 5) to be placed next to the call button on each floor (one per floor and elevator). All the members of a property will have a secret number or password (equal or not, for all of them) to be dialed to unlock the call button and to be able to select a destination inside the elevator. The introduction of the password will be equivalent to the pass of the card by the reader or 25 to the unlocking of the call button by pressing on the intercom inside each property; and will be registered by means of an entry (digits of the authorized account used linked to the password, day, hour, minute and second) in the register of uses. With the keyboard the alleged theft or loss of card is obvious, although the system must be prepared to, if desired, change the access password for any reason, 30 or to block it. Therefore, each password will be linked to a real estate account. The Community services (cleaning, concierge ...) will also have your password, the press of it will be registered in the corresponding account of the authentication database.
     35
    As mentioned, the button (11, 12) placed on the internal telephone (figure 6) will be connected to the computer system by cable or wirelessly. Its pressing will allow us to repeat, unlock the elevator call button of the building access floor, and the subsequent selection of a free or induced destination by pressing the corresponding button inside the elevator. The system will record the authorization made by means of an entry in the register of uses (digits of the authorized account used together with the day, hour, minute and second).

    Incompatibility of the system
     Four. Five
    The system to be patented here is not to be installed, for example, in department stores, in a hospital or in public offices and facilities. For these cases, a much more complex system should be developed and not the subject of this patent application.

    Claims (3)
    [1]

    1. A method of access control and use of community elevators in buildings, characterized by understanding the operations of:
     5
    - Assign to each building property (understood as real estate: the floors, offices, as well as the community services thereof, if any) one or more authorized accounts; Each account will consist of some digits that identify the property followed by others that identify the peripheral device / password / authentication pattern that the property will have enabled to perform authorizations for the use of the elevator. 10
    - Store the current authorized accounts, with their respective identification digits, authentication keys or patterns, in an authentication database, so that each of the authorized accounts is linked to one of the buildings in the building. A property may have several authorized accounts linked, but an account 15 may only be linked to a property.
    - Allow the user access to the elevator, only, when the access has been authorized using a current authorized account and when it has been validated.
     twenty
    - Identify the authorized account used in each of the authorizations for the use of the elevator, and store said information through a register of uses of the elevator, noting the authorized account used as well as the year, month, day, hour, minute and second, of each authorization to use the elevator.
     25
    - Manage the information stored in the registry of uses, generating lists of uses that have been authorized by each of the properties.

    [2]
    2. An access control system and use of community elevators in buildings, characterized by comprising the following elements: 30
    - A computer system (14) with memory to save the authentication database, store the use log of each and every one of the authorizations of use of the elevator made, and have a server program (13), as well as, of one of administration. 35
    - A signaling of the elevator call buttons (1, 2), located on the side of each access door to the same and on each floor of the building, showing the status of the same and indicating, to the user, the situation in which is the elevator. The three possible states of the call button are: "standby" (elevator blocked by 40 lack of authorization of use: closed doors and no possibility to access inside, even if the call button is pressed, the elevator will not move), "busy" (elevator in use: no new authorizations can be made while in this state, pressing the call button will have no effect) and "pending use with authorization accepted" (elevator unlocked for having authorized its use : 45 the call button of the plant in which the user is will be in that state and those of the remaining plants will go to the "busy" state, when the call button is pressed the elevator will move to the user's floor by opening -se the doors and allowing access to its interior).
     fifty
    - A set of peripheral authentication devices: (4, 5) installed next to each call button (1, 2) of the elevator on each floor of the building, and (11, 12) located inside each building, next to it of the device (10) that facilitates access to the building from the outside. These devices will transmit the information, from the authorized account used by the user, to the computer system (14) for validation. 5
    - An operating panel (3) inside the elevator with a signaling that allows the user to distinguish, depending on the authentication device used, the two selection possibilities that it will have: the selection of a free destination or the pressing of the only destination enabled . 10
    - A connection between the peripheral authentication devices, the operating panel inside the elevator, the call buttons and the computer system.

    [3]
    3. A system according to claim 2 above, characterized in that the aforementioned server program (13) will receive the requirements of the peripheral authentication devices (4, 5, 11, 12), will obtain the status of the authorized account used, will unlock the elevator if it is validated and will record the usage data in the usage log. To do this, it will execute the steps of the following algorithm (8):
     twenty
    - The elevator will be locked (doors closed and all call buttons in the "idle" state) until an authentication device is used.
    - If one of the authentication devices (4, 5, 11, 12) used, it will send the digits of the authorized account used by the user to the server, which will determine the status of the same. If validated, it will record the usage data in the usage log and unlock the elevator, giving rise to three situations depending on the device used:
    First situation: If the user uses one of the devices (4, 5) of one floor and 30 elevator, the call button (1, 2) (in "idle" state until then) adjacent to said device, will pass, this and only this, to the state of "pending use with authorization accepted"; Simultaneously the call buttons of the same elevator of the rest of the floors will enter the "busy" state. When the aforementioned call button (1, 2) in the state of "pending use with authorization accepted" 35 is pressed, the elevator will move to the floor where it has been requested, the door will be opened and the user will be allowed Select a single destination.
    Second and third situation: if one of the authentication devices (11, 12) installed inside each building is used, the elevator call button of the 40 access floor to the building, and only this button, will go to the state of "pending use with authorization accepted"; Simultaneously the call buttons of the same elevator of the rest of the floors will enter the "busy" state. When said button in the "pending use with authorization accepted" state is pressed, the elevator will move to the building access floor and door 45 will open, but will take place, depending on the option selected (11 , 12), to the following possibilities: second situation (12): selection of a free destination, this will allow the user to select any destination; Third situation (11): destination associated to the floor that authorizes, this will only allow the user to select the only authorized destination, which corresponds to the plant where the property that 50 has linked the account that authorized the use.
    - When the user, already inside the elevator, selects a destination, the call button (1, 2) pressed will return, this and only this one, to the "idle" state and its adjacent authentication device (4, 5) , and only he, can receive a new authorization request as long as it is made before the elevator door closes; when it is closed, the said call button will go to the "busy" no 5 state allowing new authorization requests. Users, already inside the elevator, can select a destination for each authorization.
    - When the elevator has been unlocked because its use has been authorized and at each step of the process, the user will be given time for an answer (pressing the 10 call button or destination selection); If, after that time, there has been no response, the lift will be blocked again and will require a new authorization for unlocking.
