1. Introduction  

AT persent, socialism with Chinese characteristics has ented a new era,and the main social contradictions have 

been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced 

development[1].The market is witnessing a surge in the number of intelligent products, thanks to the development 

of technologies such as the Internet of things and artificial intelligence. Urban residents are increasingly 

demanding better quality of lives, and intelligent products which are meeting those demands directly. The 

convenience, safety, and comfort that these products bring to people's lives are making them constantly popular. 

Communities, as the fundamental unit where urban and rural residents coexist, bears a significant responsibility 

in creating a convenient, comfortable, and safe way of life. To meet the demands of urban residents for an 

improved way of living, community environments must adapt to the digital age and adopt modern technology to 

effectively cater to the diverse living needs of different urban residents. The adoption of smart construction 

promotes urbanization and enhances the quality of life in cities. It panders to the diverse needs of community 

residents and fosters good community relationships[2]. As a symbol of efficiency, convenience, and comfort in 

community environments, smart construction is actually being adopted by communities nowadays. Consequently, 

the construction of smart environments within communities has become a necessary means to improve the 

management of urban communities and enhance the happiness of urban residents. This article focuses on 

designing intelligent devices within communities through the lens of environmental design. The goal is to create 

a smart environment that improves the happiness index of residents and promotes the level of modern high-quality 

living.

2.2. Environmental design  

Environmental design involves intentionally shaping and modifying the physical environment to meet the 

standards of human needs and expectations. This interdisciplinary field incorporates factors such as human 

perception, cognition, emotion, behavior, building structures, and functionality, while also prioritizing the impact 

on the natural environment and implementing sustainable design strategies. The goal of creating a comfortable, 

healthy, safe, and aesthetically pleasing physical environment is to enhance people's quality of life and happiness.   

3. The current status and user demands of intelligent technologies in communities  

3.1. Development status  

In recent years, the integration of intelligent technology and community construction has given rise to a new 

community model called smart community. The development of smart communities aims to improve 

communities’ management efficiency, optimize residential environments, and enhance the quality of life for 

residents. This trend is of great importance in global scale, and smart devices such as intelligent access control 

and security systems have been widely implemented in many communities. However, many devices still rely on 

traditional designs and fail to satisfy the demands of intelligent living, resulting in a subpar user experience.  

3.2. User needs  

3.2.1. Information dissemination.  

The reliance on traditional written methods to convey important information is still prevalent in many 

communities due to the lack of effective smart communication devices. However, this method can be limited by 

factors such as poor communication and information .This practice not only detracts from the community's 

appearance, but also hinders the presentation of information in a user-friendly manner. This is particularly 

problematic for elderly individuals with visual impairments who struggle to read important information, as well 

as for younger individuals who work long hours (such as 996) and may have difficulty in receiving timely updates. 

In order to ensure that information is accessible to all, it is important to adopt inclusive and accessible design. 

This is particularly important for the elderly who may have visual impairments. Additionally, modern technology 

can be utilized to create a more convenient living environment for the younger generation. By prioritizing 

inclusive design, we can create a more equitable society for all individuals.  

3.2.2. Interactive communication  

The current problem with smart devices in communities is the poor experience for user. Quantities of people 

find it challenging to use the smart devices due to unfriendly interfaces, limited interaction methods, and inability 

to meet diverse user’s needs, resulting in low usage rates. To solve this issue, we must adopt a user-centered 

design approach and connect to the Internet to set up a high-quality community environment.   

4. Application of Smart Technology in Community Environment Design  

4.1. Intelligent Public Guidance Screen  

An intelligent public guidance screen is a device that utilizes various technologies, such as artificial 

intelligence, big data analysis, interactive design, and so on, to deliver information from services to users. 

According to the needs of management services, design the framework of information management service 

platform [3].This can be achieved by touch screen, voice recognition, face recognition, scanning, and other 

methods. The purpose of intelligent public guidance screens is to digitize traditional forms of public information 

and provide a real-time information to users through clear and intuitive screen displays. This improves 

information dissemination efficiency and enhances user experience. The content displayed on these screens 

includes community announcements, public services, property management, and other relevant information. The 

implementation of intelligent public guidance screens can enhance the quality of service for community residents

and visitors. It can also improve the accuracy and speed of information dissemination, increase the efficiency and 

level of community management, and contribute to the development of a smart city.  

4.1.1. Information dissemination  

The intelligent public guidance screen can be connected to the Internet, providing real-time updates of 

community information. This allows residents to stay informed and ensures the accuracy and timely dissemination 

of important announcements. Furthermore, the screen can display information in an enlarged format and has 

artificial intelligence voice-reading function buttons, making it more accessible for elderly individuals with visual 

impairments and hoist the efficiency of information dissemination, providing better services and experiences for 

community residents.  

By connecting to the public safety platform and utilizing data processing and connection technologies, the 

intelligent public guidance screen is capable of sharing and transmitting data with the public safety platform. This 

allows for timely alerts, evacuation routes, and prevention measures to be issued to residents in the event of 

sudden incidents, thereby improving their safety awareness and prevention capabilities. Ultimately, this system 

is effective in preventing and reducing the occurrence of safety incidents. The intelligent public guidance screen 

not only provides safety information and real-time announcements, but also serves as a resource for information 

on public services in the community, including medical care, education, and community activities. This helps 

residents better understand the available services in their community and facilitates accessed to necessary 

resources. Additionally, the screen can provide information on community events and activities, making it a more 

convenient resource for residents to stay informed and engaged in their community. By showcasing cultural, 

sports, and social events, along with local merchant discounts and promotions on the guidance screen, residents 

can effortlessly obtain information about community happenings and schedules, engage in community activities, 

foster communication and integration within the community, and enhance the cultural richness and quality of life 

for all residents.  

4.1.2. Interactive communication  

When designing interactive interfaces, it is essential to keep the design simple and clear. It requires the 

characteristics of easy-learning and easy-remembering, so that users are able to recall and master how to operate 

the equipments as soon as possible[4].This means highlighting the main theme and minimizing any unnecessary 

distraction. Intuitive and concise design elements, Adopting a quantity of slider modes in the interactive interface 

to assist the operation, which is much more convenient for the elderly to use. In the case of a limited interface, 

the slider of 5 mm is a more appropriate size and has good operation performance[5], can be used to help users 

quickly understand the interface. It is also crucial to prioritize usability and user-friendliness to avoid difficult 

operations, improve the overall users’ experience, save their time and energy, and ultimately increase satisfaction 

of them.  

By implementing AI voice functions, intelligent public guidance screens can establish a dialogue between 

users and devices through voice recognition and natural language processing technologies. This allows users to 

perform queries, operations, and other functions without physically interacting with the screen, thus improving 

users’ convenience and efficiency. This technology is particularly beneficial for elderly and young users.AI voice 

functions have the ability to recognize various voices, accents, and speech rates, which improves their accuracy 

and applicability. This allows individuals from different regions and language backgrounds to easily and 

efficiently comprehend the content of announcements. What’s more, the intelligent public guidance screen 

includes a built-in feedback module that allows for optimization and adjustment based on the needs and feedback 

of residents. This leads to a better user experience and increased user engagement. In the community environment 

design, the application of intelligent technology will further meet the needs and expectations of community
