Description
Summary:碩士 === 中華大學 === 土木工程學系碩士班 === 103 === Advances in technology are changing the way people live. The amount of time people stay indoors is also increasing. The quality of indoor environment has more and more influence on people's health. Scientific studies show that interior greenery will not only reduce stress, but can actually reduce volatile organic substances and dust to improve indoor environmental quality. In addition, the rate at which green plants remove volatile organic substances will increase over time. In “people-oriented” smart homes, anyone can easily and effectively take advantage of smart flowerpots to increase the vigor of plants, so as to enhance the quality of life, one’s home environment, and every occupant’s health. This study uses TRIZ innovation theory including technical contradictions, physical contradictions, 40 inventive principles, substance- field analysis and 76 standard solution to design a smart flowerpot. In this study, a modified smart pot will proactively monitor environmental contaminants and moisture. It can start condensers, humidifiers and air pumps in a timely manner to improve the quality of the indoor environment and achieve the goal of saving water resources. Using multiple humidity sensors, it can water plants periodically with the appropriate amount of water to keep them healthy and growing. A smart flowerpot can also integrate with smart home systems and monitor plant growth conditions through its monitoring system. In addition, it can send photos and information to the APP installed on a user's mobile phone, so that smart flowerpots can interact with users as well as record data.
