Claim Text:
1. A method for generating automatic elevator calls in an elevator system using an identifier associated with a passenger, the method comprising: first reading, from the identifier, identification data identifying the passenger when the passenger manually calls an elevator from a first floor; linking origin information associating the identification data with the first floor, the origin information identifying an origin floor of the passenger; storing the origin information in a back-end of the elevator system before a first elevator journey from the first floor; second reading, from the identifier, the identification data when the passenger approaches the elevator on a second floor; determining, from the origin information, a return floor associated with the passenger based on the identification data read when the passenger approaches the elevator on the second floor, the return floor being the origin floor; and generating an automatic elevator call associated with a second elevator journey to the first floor based on the return floor such that the automatic elevator call is generated without the passenger calling the elevator to initiate the second elevator journey.
