Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system and method for area trash application, and particularly to a system and method for monitoring and security of trash application.
The aspect of the disclosed embodiment relate to a trashcan having many unique and useful features, including sensor devices, light, air freshener, compartment and outer layered surfaces, wherein the compartment can be decorated to personal liking, making this trashcan not like any other trashcan but rather a decorative item that is useful for applications such as kitchen, room or any environment where the trashcan is placed.
Conventional trashcan is something that most people do not pay too much attention to because most conventional trashcans just provide a space for users of the trashcan to throw waste but there is usually nothing much one can do with such trashcan.
Disclosed embodiment takes all this to another level. Embodiment provide a trashcan that one can use as a decorative item placed in any part of the room. Certain embodiment provides a trashcan disposed with an outer-layered surface that can be personalized to one likes. Some embodiment provide the trashcan being disposed with either double layer with patterns of choice, stainless steel or with magnetic field decorative paper. Other embodiment provide the trashcan being affixed with a lighting apparatus. A sensor is associated with the lighting apparatus, wherein the sensor is operable to make it easier to detect when the trashcan is full and the compartment below makes it easier to reach the trash bags and change it conveniently. In the disclosure, the trash bag compartment can also be used to store waste bags such as waste from pets. One wouldn't have to hide our trashcan anymore because of this disclosed embodiment.
Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide an interactive trashcan application and security system, method, and device for monitoring a trash controlled environment and for detecting an emergency condition in the controlled environment and generating a response based on the existence of the trash emergency condition.
Disclosed embodiment provide an innovative trashcan application, making it possible to customize trashcan use to one's liking. The trashcan can be used by people of all ages because of its convenience and safety. The light apparatus is configured to go off with different lighting colors representing the trashcan is empty, partially full or completely full. Disclosed embodiment will make it easier for adults and young people to detect and change the trash bag as needed. The sensor device can be used to cause the light to go On/Off in different colors depending on how full the trashcan is. Optionally, one can choose to have a sensor to open the trashcan lid; the sensor will not be limited to one function. The compartment being provided is used to store trash bags, making it easier to allocate the bags to enable quicker/easier change. Certain embodiment provide the air freshener being connected to a pressure device that is connected to the pedal. The pedal is configured to spray the freshener when stepped on it. A trashcan can be placed anywhere in the house and used to decorate the room; one can personalize the trashcan which makes it different from any other trashcan, this Is a decorative item like how one would use a picture frame to decorate the living room, one can use this trashcan to decorate the kitchen environment.
The headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not meant to be used to limit the scope of the description or the claims. As used throughout this application, the words trashcan, sensors, lighting apparatus, container, lid, light, are used in permissive sense (i.e., meaning having the potential to), rather than the mandatory sense (i.e., meaning must). Similarly, the words “include”, “including”, and “includes” mean including but not limited to. To facilitate understanding, like reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate like elements common to the figures. Optional portions of the figures may be illustrated using dashed or dotted lines, unless the context of usage indicates otherwise
Figure I provide a trash storage system 2, comprises a container 4, usable to create a configurable and reconfigurable system. Each container 4 is associated with at least a trashcan 6 being disposed with at least a lid 8. The lid 8 is disposed with at least a light apparatus 10, in association with a sensor device 20. The container 4 is further configured with a storable base 12 that supports a body 14, and the lid 8 is located at the top of the body 14. The base 12 may be provided in a different configuration such that the system may be configured to meet the user's space, floor plan needs, and processes. In one embodiment the sizes of the base is related such that the base may be operable to create a unified system that activates the top lid 8. The container 4 is disposed with a releasable member 16, communicatively connected the pedal 18. The pedal 18 comprises application mechanism configured for activations that may include magnets, compartments, sensors, lights, decorative members.

Sensor device 20 can also be used to sense hand movement to automatically open up the lid 8. The application of the sensor device 20 is not limited to just operating the light apparatus 10, it senses odor and refreshes the trashcan 6 by pouring air freshener 30 to eliminate the odor. The air freshener is connected to pressure device 40 that is connected to the pedal 80. In this regards, when one presses on the pedal 80, the pressure device 40 causes the air freshener 30 to spray the freshener as the lid opens. The pressure device 40 further comprises an actuator for the air freshener. In other embodiment, if the outer layered surface 60 is disposed as a double layered surface, then the ring covering the outer layer 50 protects the decorative paper. The layers 60, which is the main body, can also be stainless steel configured with magnetic field depending on design choice. The decorative paper can be changed depending on the theme of the kitchen or where it is placed or holiday seasons.
