Garbage Box (G-Box) Designing and Monitoring

摘要

This paper describes a G-Box, a garbage box that can be monitored using mobile phone. The G-Box is designed to attract, to stimulate, to educate, and to train the kids to throw the garbage in the correct place, so that the clean environment can be achieved. The system of the garbage box in this research is designed in two parts, i.e. G-Box (Garbage Box) and P-Box (Prize Box). The G-Box and P-Box can communicate using Bluetooth. When the kids have thrown the garbage in the G-Box, the G-Box will give the notification trough MP3 player by saying “Thank you very much, please get your candy in the P-Box”. The G-Box also sends the signal to the P-Box to throw away the candy from the P-Box as the prize for the kids that have thrown away the garbage in the correct place (in this case, the G-Box).
