Apparatus and method for identifying operational status of umbrella, parasol or shading system utilizing lighting elements

An umbrella, comprising:

• one or more lighting elements;
• and
• an integrated computing device, the integrated computing device comprising:
• one or more processors;
• one or more physical memory devices,
• computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more physical memory devices, the computer-readable instructions being executable by the one or more processors to:
• receive audio files, the received audio files based at least in part on voice commands received by one or more microphones;
• perform an artificial intelligence process based at least in part on the received audio files;
• monitor status of the artificial intelligence process and receive status messages with respect to the artificial intelligence process;
• generate light element messages, commands or instructions regarding the status of the artificial intelligence process;
• and
• communicate the light element messages, commands or instructions to the one or more lighting elements.

An umbrella, comprising:

• a first lighting element;
• a second lighting element;
• a first electrical component, the first lighting element associated with a status of the first electrical component;
• a second electrical component, the second lighting element associated with a status of the second electrical component;
• and
• an integrated computing device, the integrated computing device comprising:
• one or more processors;
• one or more physical memory devices,
• computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more physical memory devices, the computer-readable instructions being executable by the one or more processors to:
• receive first status message or signals from the first electrical component;
• receive second status message or signals from the second electrical component;
• generate first light element commands, instructions, messages or signals based, at least in part, on the received first status messages or signals and communicate the generated first light element commands, instructions, messages or signals to the first light element;
• and
• generate second light element commands, instructions, messages or signals based, at least in part, on the received second status messages or signals and communicate the generated second light element commands, instructions, messages or signals to the second light element.
