FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method of programmable control of a user's motion path to an elevator/escalator comprises: determining the current location of the user; requesting the number of the user's initial floor and the number of the target floor; receiving the route data for arrival to the target elevator/escalator based on the user's current location, the initial floor number and the target floor number; and controlling the user's motion path to the target elevator/escalator based on the route data. Receiving route data for the arrival to the target elevator/escalator based on the user's current location, initial floor number and target floor number comprises: defining the type of the target elevator/escalator for the target elevator/escalator based on the difference between the initial floor number and target floor number; obtaining the location of each elevator/escalator with a type of the target elevator/escalator at the initial floor; and receiving route data for the arrival to the nearest elevator/escalator with a type of the target elevator/escalator based on the user's current location and all the locations of elevators/escalators with a type of the target elevator/escalator. Definition of the type of the target elevator/escalator for the target elevator/escalator based on the difference between the initial floor number and the target floor number comprises: calculating the difference value between the initial floor number and the target floor number; deciding whether the difference value is less than the preset threshold; if the difference value is less than the preset threshold, definition of the escalator as the target elevator/escalator type; and if the difference value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the definition of the elevator as an elevator/escalator type. This method implements the corresponding device.
EFFECT: group of inventions allows a user located in a large room or building to quickly and conveniently use an elevator or escalator to get to the desired place, providing the user's motion path to the corresponding elevator or escalator.
