Illuminated walking cane
The illuminated walking cane comprises a shank, a finial, a plurality of LEDs, one or more batteries, and an on/off control. The walking stick may provide support to a user while walking or hiking. The plurality of LEDs covering the shank may provide illumination and increase visibility after dusk and at night. The plurality of LEDs are powered by the one or more batteries and are turned on or off using the on/off control which may be located on the finial at the top of the shank. The illuminated walking cane may further comprise a blinker circuit and a blinker control. The blinker circuit may interrupt the electrical circuit powering the plurality of LEDs in a repeating pattern, thus causing the plurality of LEDs to blink. Multiple blink patterns may be selected by activating the blinker control on the finial.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ELDERLY
A multi-functional activity management system for elderly utilizes prior art walking sticks to manage big data related to activity of elderly persons. In addition, new improvements have been made upon prior art walking sticks. By incorporating umbrella function into the walking stick, the stem portion becomes narrower and shorter, thereby making it easy to be inserted into the thin walking stick.
