Mobile Computing Device Control of Shading Object, Intelligent Umbrella and Intelligent Shading Charging System

A mobile computing device to control one or more umbrellas, comprising:

• a user interface component configured to output stimuli and receive inputs;
• a wireless transceiver configured to communicate commands and/or messages to one or more wireless transceivers of the one or more umbrellas;
• one or more processors coupled to the user interface component and the wireless transceiver;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium containing computer-readable instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions including:
• receive input corresponding to a selected azimuth movement of the umbrella and a selected tilting movement;
• communicate messages and/or commands, based on the selected azimuth movement and the selected tilting movement to the umbrella to cause a support assembly to rotate with respect to a base about an azimuth axis and to cause an upper support assembly to tilt with respect to a lower assembly about an elevation axis;
• and
• generate and communicate messages and/or commands to the user interface component to present stimuli indicating a representation of the selected azimuth movement and the selected tilting movement of the umbrella.
