An infrared sensor detects the finger's position and registers the floor, enabling the touchless use of the elevator.2. Realizing a Futuristic Elevator Design Without Floor Buttons(1)While conventional operating panels must have as many floor buttons as the building has floors, the touchless operating panel enables the operating panel to be simplified and miniaturized, making unprecedented futuristic elevator designs possible as since it displays floors on an LCD monitor.3.
