Abstract

An intelligent shading object includes a base assembly, a support assembly coupled to the base assembly, a telescoping support rod housing coupled to the support assembly, a plurality of telescoping rods housed in the telescoping support housing, and a shading element, the shading element coupled to the plurality of telescoping rods. The intelligent shading object may include one or more photo cells installed on the shading element. The intelligent shading object may include comprising one or more light sensors installed on the shading element.

Claims (24)

1 . An intelligent shading object, comprising:

a base assembly;

a support assembly coupled to the base assembly;

a telescoping support rod housing coupled to the support assembly; and

a plurality of telescoping rods housed in the telescoping support housing.

2 . The intelligent shading object of claim 1 , further comprising a shading element, the shading element coupled to the plurality of telescoping rods.

3 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , further comprising one or more photo cells installed on the shading element.

4 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , further comprising one or more light sensors installed on the shading element.

5 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , the base unit further comprising weight compartments housing weights to provide support to the base unit and the intelligent shading object.

6 . The intelligent shading object of claim 1 , the base unit further comprising a rotation assembly, the rotation assembly to rotate the support unit in a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction.

7 . The intelligent shading object of claim 1 , the support unit further comprising a first pivot hub, the first pivot hub to cause the support unit to move in a vertical direction.

8 . The intelligent shading object of claim 7 , further comprising a second pivot hub, the second pivot hub connecting a support unit to a telescoping support housing to move the telescoping support housing in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

9 . The intelligent shading object of claim 8 , wherein the telescoping support housing rotates about the second pivot hub to be positioned along a side surface of the support unit.

10 . The intelligent shading object of claim 8 , wherein the telescoping support housing rotates about the second pivot hub to be positioned inside a compartment of the support unit.

11 . The intelligent shading object of claim 1 , the telescoping support housing further comprising a deployment assembly, a storage area and a plurality of telescoping rods.

12 . The intelligent shading object of claim 11 , the plurality of telescoping rods being stored in the storage area.

13 . The intelligent shading object of claim 11 , further comprising a processor, the processor to receive an instruction or command to deploy one or more of the plurality of telescoping rods from the telescoping support housing.

14 . The intelligent shading object of claim 13 , the processor to communicate commands or signals to the deployment assembly to deploy the one or more of the plurality of telescoping rods.

15 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , the shading element to be detachably connected to the plurality of telescoping rods.

16 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , the shading element to form an origami shape.

17 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , wherein the shading element further comprises one or more sections, wherein the plurality of telescoping rods connect to an associated section of the one or more sections to support the shading element.

18 . The intelligent shading object of claim 17 , wherein the one or more sections comprise different shapes.

19 . The intelligent shading object of claim 17 , wherein ends of the plurality of telescoping rods may be coupled or connected by fasteners to a surface of a shading element.

20 . The intelligent shading object of claim 2 , wherein the shading element comprises a fabric membrane, wherein one or more parts are inserted into the fabric membrane.
