Convertible versatile cane

A method of using a convertible, multi-tasking cane, comprising:

• actuating an ON/OFF switch to turn ON the convertible multi-tasking cane;
• walking while holding a handle of the convertible multi-tasking cane, a base of the convertible multi-tasking cane supported by a ground surface;
• sitting on a seat formed by unfolding the handle of the convertible multi-tasking cane when not walking;
• and
• protecting, by an umbrella, a user from a rain shower or sunlight by actuating an umbrella release switch located on the convertible multi-tasking cane to extend an umbrella shaft through an opening defined at a center of the seat or the handle, causing a plurality of ribs connected to the umbrella shaft to extend upwards and out from the umbrella shaft, and unfurling a flexible sheet attached to the plurality of ribs.

A convertible, multi-tasking cane system, comprising:

• a tubular cane body having an internal cavity;
• a handle attached to a first end of the tubular cane body, wherein the handle is configured to convert to a seat upon actuation of a seat release mechanism;
• a base support attached to a second end of the tubular cane body;
• an umbrella having a folded configuration in which an umbrella shaft is enclosed within the internal cavity, umbrella ribs are folded against the umbrella shaft, a rib support is located at a first position and an open configuration in which the umbrella shaft, the ribs and the rib support extend through an opening in the handle and/or the seat, the ribs are extended away from the umbrella shaft by an angle in a range of about 60 degrees to about 90 degrees and the rib support is located at a second position, wherein the first position is at a greater distance from an umbrella tip than the second position;
• a rechargeable battery located in the internal cavity, above the second end of the tubular cane body;
• a tubular insulating structure overlapping a portion of the tubular cane body, the tubular insulating structure housing a plurality of electronic devices, the plurality of electronic devices including a microcontroller, an alarm unit, an LED display, a WIFI unit, a Bluetooth unit, an MP3 player, a GPS receiver, a USB port, a camera, a radio, an earphone jack, a plurality of LED units, a speaker, a power input port configured to supply power to recharge the rechargeable battery, and a micro subscriber identity module (SIM) port;
• wherein the microcontroller is operatively connected to the alarm unit, the LED display, the WIFI unit, the Bluetooth unit, the MP3 player, the GPS receiver, the USB port, the camera, the radio, the earphone jack, the plurality of LED lights, the speaker, the rechargeable battery, and the micro SIM port;
• and
• wherein the microcontroller is configured to transmit and receive wireless communications through at least one of the WIFI unit, the Bluetooth unit, the GPS receiver, and a SIM card inserted in the micro SIM port.
