scope:

The present document specifies the IoT communication aspects for Smart Lifts (i.e. the Smart Lift System). It defines the elements involved in such communications and their relations, from the central cloud level to the Smart Lift installations, including the integration with administrative information, the integration of smart lift systems not conformant to the present document (non-standard and legacy installations), and the integration of application targeting human users.

The present document is intended to enable the use cases in [i.3] and more in general aiming to support all the major use cases and requirements in the context of Smart Lift. It deals with the architectural aspect of the communication and the set of information that is needed to assure interoperability across installations and platforms but is not specifying the specific applications that are using this information. These applications are left to the market together with the extended set of information that are specific of each technology and may differ across providers.

The Smart Lift System communication rely on existing specification that are referenced in the present document (i.e. the oneM2M standard suite), but the definition of the element and the information to be exchanged is kept independent from underlaying communication framework and technology, to minimize the impact of the evolution of the communication framework on the information managed by the smart lift.

This approach allows also the delegation of basic important functionality (e.g. security, management, use of different IT and telecommunication means, platforms and semantic interoperability support) to the underlaying communication framework, to evolve and adapt to the technology evolution without impacting directly the present document.
