An AI-Powered System for Encouraging Cleanliness and Managing Screen Time

This article introduces Clean Room Monitor, an AI-powered solution created to automate the supervision and

management of children’s room tidiness. The system uses an IP Webcam to capture images and employs a Convolutional Neural

Network (CNN) to categorize spaces as neat or cluttered following uniform preprocessing. When a messy room is identified,

automatic responses, like SMS/Email notifications and router-imposed internet blocks are activated to maintain impartial

parental control. A structured logging module records all predictions for analytics and periodic model retraining. Experimental

results demonstrate high classification accuracy and reliable real-time performance, indicating that the system effectively

reduces parental supervision effort while promoting responsible behaviour. The proposed solution is low-cost, scalable, and

suitable for integration into smart home and digital parenting applications.
