A portable input apparatus permits an elevator destination call to be generated remotely from an associated elevator installation with respect to time and location. The input apparatus can be formed as, for example, a wristwatch having a user interface including a first display for visually indicating data, a first keyboard for the manual input of data or travel commands and an audio unit for the acoustic input of data or travel commands and for the generation of audio information to the elevator user. A destination floor identification, such as the English word "twenty-seven", can be an acoustic command destination call entered into the input apparatus and indicated on the first display as "27" whereby in the proximity of the elevator installation, the destination call is automatically communicated to an elevator control of the elevator installation. The elevator control then communicates to the portable input apparatus the identity of the elevator car that has been assigned to serve the call.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An apparatus for inputting an elevator command to an elevator installation having an elevator control comprising:a portable input means for receiving, storing and transmitting data in a plurality of acoustic elevator commands;an audio unit included in said input means for reception and conversion of each of said acoustic elevator commands to related elevator command data;a transmitter/receiver unit in said input means for non-acoustic communication of said elevator command data; anda control unit included in said input means and connected to said audio unit and said transmitter/receiver unit for controlling inputting of said acoustic elevator commands when said input means is located remote from an associated elevator installation and storing the related elevator command data for later non-acoustic communication to an elevator control of the associated elevator installation when said input means is proximate the elevator control, said control unit being responsive to an interrogation communication received by said transmitter/receiver unit for generating said non-acoustic communication to the elevator control.
