1. An elevator dispatching device utilizing a block chain system, the block chain system comprising a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes saving account balances and block chain addresses of passengers, the device comprising:
a storage device; and
at least one processor;
wherein the storage device stores one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to:
control each of the plurality of nodes to verify an elevator call based on a consensus mechanism when the elevator call is initiated by the passenger, wherein the elevator call is initiated by a call controller of an elevator dispatching system, the call controller of the elevator dispatching system is communicated with the block chain system;
broadcast verification passed information to the block chain system when the verification of the elevator call by a node of the plurality of nodes is passed;
save consumption information of the elevator call initiated by the passenger when a quantity of the verification passed information received by the node is greater than a first predetermined value; and
control an elevator controller to dispatch an elevator to the passenger as a dedicated elevator when the elevator call is successful, wherein when the plurality of nodes reaches a consensus as to the elevator call, the elevator call is deemed successful.
