Intelligent umbrella or robotic shading system having telephonic communication capabilities
First Claim
1. An intelligent umbrella, comprising:
- one or more shading elements;
a support assembly, coupled to the one or more shading elements, to provide support for the one or more shading elements, the support assembly comprising one or more microphones to capture audio commands, one or more processors, one or more memory modules and a cellular telecommunications transceiver,a base assembly, coupled to the support assembly, to provide contact with a surface,wherein computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules are executable by the one or more processors to;
convert the captured audio commands into one or more audio files;
generate one or more analog and/or digital phone transmission files based at least in part on the converted one or more audio files; and
communicate the one or more analog and/or digital phone transmission files via the cellular transceiver to a base station to initiate transmission of a telephone call without utilizing a mobile computing device to initiate the telephone call.

Abstract
An intelligent umbrella comprises shading elements, a support assembly, coupled to the one or more shading elements, to provide support for the one or more shading elements, the support assembly comprising one or more microphones to capture audio commands. The intelligent umbrella further includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules and a cellular telecommunications transceiver, and a base assembly, coupled to the support assembly, to provide contact with a surface. Computer-readable instructions stored in the memory modules are executed by a processor to convert the captured audio commands into one or more audio files, generate one or more analog and/or digital phone transmission files based at least in part on the converted one or more audio files, and communicate the one or more analog and/or digital phone transmission files via the cellular transceiver to a base station to initiate transmission of a telephone call.
