Abstract

Background: Modern life has inclined a lot of people towards laziness. With the presence of several unreasonable requirements there is a growing realization of this issue in the field of design. The smart home product industry has been promoted by continuous technological iteration and rapid development due to the continuous popularity of the "Lazy Economy". Purpose：The improvement of people's lives and their consumption levels has led to the increasing attention on issues such as green ecological civilization, sustainable development, and rational resource use. Some cities in China have implemented mandatory garbage sorting policies, enhancing residents' environmental awareness and promoting the sustainable development of modern cities. Methods: This study will focus on designing environmentally-friendly smart homes with sustainable features and creating a smart trash can to improve the efficiency of home cleaning for residents. Conduct a comprehensive study on different smart homes available in the market and carry out innovative designs. Results: The product's people-finding function changes the conventional practice of having garbage cans positioned in each area of the house, and ultimately provides a more convenient and intelligent solution for household garbage sorting and environmental protection. Conclusion: The research on the design of smart person finder classified trash can, mainly solves the following issues: 1. To enable the users to locate the trash can using voice commands or mobile phone application when they are unable to physically move or quickly locate the trash can. 2. Improve the efficiency of garbage segragation, so that the trash can can identify and classify different categories of wastes. 3. Reduce the number of trash bins allocated in the home. 4. Integrate an automated sweeping robot at the bottom of the smart trash can to clean while it is in motion. 5. Cultivate users' good waste segration practices that will relieve the burden of community in waste management, and promote sustainable urban development.
