Control of Multiple Umbrellas or Shading Devices

A first intelligent umbrella, comprising:

• a first base assembly;
• a first support assembly, the first support assembly comprising a first upper support assembly and a first lower support assembly;
• a first shading expansion assembly connected to the support assembly, the shading assembly further comprising one or more arms coupled to the shading expansion assembly;
• a first wireless communication transceiver;
• one or more processors;
• one or more memory modules;
• and
• computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules, the computer-readable instructions fetched from the one or more memory modules and executable by the one or more processors to:
• communicate commands to the first support assembly to cause the first upper support assembly to rotate with respect to the first lower support assembly;
• and
• communicate commands to the first wireless communication transceiver,
• wherein the first wireless communication transceiver to communicate the commands to a second intelligent umbrella to cause a second upper support assembly to rotate with respect to a second lower support assembly.

A first intelligent umbrella, comprising:

• a first base assembly placed on a surface;
• a first support assembly connected to the first base assembly;
• a first shading expansion assembly connected to the first support assembly, further comprising one or more arms connected to the first shading expansion assembly;
• a first sensor assembly to capture sensor measurements in an area around the first intelligent umbrella;
• a first wireless communication transceiver;
• one or more processors;
• one or more memory devices;
• and
• computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory devices, the computer-readable instructions fetched from the one or more memory modules and executable by the one or more processors to:
• communicate commands to a first sensor assembly to cause the first sensor assembly to capture one or more first sensor measurements of an area around the first intelligent umbrella;
• communicate the one or more first sensor measurements from the first sensor assembly to the first wireless communication transceiver, wherein the first wireless communication transceiver to communicate the one or more first sensor measurements from the first sensor assembly to a mobile communication device.
