FIELD: measuring equipment.
SUBSTANCE: when performing the method for detecting the movement of a user or an object in a lift, the acceleration experienced by the user or the object is measured to obtain a sequence of the acceleration measurements. The sequence of the acceleration measurements is processed to identify a peak and a cavity in them, that are associated with the beginning and the end of the lift movement. The segment of the acceleration measurements, corresponding to the lift movement, is identified from the identified peak and the cavity. The change indication in the elevation of the user or the object is determined during the lift movement from the identified acceleration measurement segment. A device is also proposed for detecting the movement of a user or an object in a lift.
EFFECT: creating an improved method and device for detecting the movement of the user in the lift and for determining the user's elevation from this movement, for example, in terms of the floor or the building level, on which the user is located.
