Around the world, commercial office spaces are the first to open after lock-down. There is an inherent risk of coronavirus transmission through the most commonly used equipment in office spaces, lift. Lift buttons are readily touched by all people in the building. The innovation endeavors to prevent coronavirus transmission through lifts by making the lift operation automated and contact-less. The person who wants to call the lift has to waive his hand in front of the lift panel instead of touching a button. For accomplishing this task, the innovation aims to install an ultrasonic sensors in the lift panel on each floor that will detect the waiving of the hand. A specifically-designed control system will receive inputs from the ultrasonic sensors on each floor and in the lift, and will accordingly communicate with the existing control system of the lift. In this way, there will be no necessity to replace the existent control systems of the lift with modified ones. Instead of requiring the replacement of the present systems, the innovation is designed to work hand in hand with the existing systems, making it cost-effective and the installation straightforward. In this way, our innovation significantly reduces the risk of coronavirus transmission in commercial office spaces and thus can help in saving many lives.
