Although shown and described with respect to a roping system that includes tension members 107, elevator systems that employ other methods and mechanisms of moving an elevator car within a hoistway can employ embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, embodiments may be employed in a ropeless elevator system using linear motors to impart motion to an elevator car. Embodiments may be employed in a ropeless elevator system using a hydraulic hoist to impart motion to an elevator car. FIG. 1 is a non-limiting example presented for purposes of illustration and explanation only.

Passenger credentials may also be implemented using facial recognition based on images captured by the imaging device 202. For example, when a person registers for a hotel, an image of his face may be captured and stored on the
The imaging device 202 and the stationary device 204 communicate with a
The
The process begins at 300, where a passenger receives credentials authorizing the passenger to service with a forgotten object, in an example, the passenger is a hotel guest, and the passenger receives credentials as part of to check in to the hotel.
At 302, the passenger arrives at the elevator zone. If at 302 the credential is not present (e.g., the passenger does not have a credential, or it is not carried with the passenger), then flow continues to 304 where no object tracking is provided. If the credential is implemented by facial recognition,
If the credential exists, then at 306, the fixture 204 is outside the
At 308, the credential is verified by the
If the passenger credentials indicate that the passenger is authorized to access the object tracking service at 308, flow continues to 310 where the object tracking service is initiated. At this stage, the
The next steps for object tracking are at 314 matching an object and a specific passenger it is understood that multiple objects (e.g., suites of baggage) may be matched with a passenger this operation is depicted graphically in FIG. 4 as

It should be noted that the process of fig. 3 can be used to detect when passengers have entered the elevator car but have left or more objects at the elevator landing in such cases, the system can prevent elevator from closing and/or immediately send a message to the passengers indicating that they have entered the elevator car without carrying their object(s) .
While described with respect to passengers forgetting an object with respect to an elevator car, embodiments may be applied to hotel rooms where a guest may forget an object outside the room.A system may detect an object and prompt a user with a message.an embodiment may be extended to areas outside the room, including public areas where guests can forget their belongings, and then a recent camera will trigger an event to the guest based on the hotel's movement credentials.
As described above, embodiments can take the form of processor-implemented processes and apparatuses for practicing those processes, such as the
