Automatic Operation of Shading Object, Intelligent Umbrella and Intelligent Shading Charging System

An article comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein computer-readable and computer-implementable instructions executable by a processor, comprising:
• autonomously capture sensor measurements from environmental sensors without user intervention and communicate captured sensor measurements;
• autonomously analyze captured sensor measurements;
• autonomously generate, at a processor/controller, commands and/or signals based, at least in part on the analyzed sensor measurements, and communicate the generated commands or signals to one or more of a first motor controller, a second motor controller or a third motor controller;
• and
• autonomously generate signals and/or commands to cause movement of an umbrella about one or more of an azimuth axis or an elevation axis, and autonomously generate signals and/or commands to deploy or retract one or more an arm support assemblies.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium having stored therein computer-readable and computer-implementable instructions executable by the processor to:
• autonomously determine that an external power has become non-operational;
• autonomously identify which assemblies of an intelligent umbrella to deactivate;
• and
• autonomously communicate instructions and/or commands to a rechargeable power source to disable power from the identified assemblies.
