A sun/rain protector for a person inside a backpack secured to the back of a person by belts; a retractable mechanism and flexible cover, wherein said flexible cover is mounted to the frame that is mechanically coupled to the backpack. The flexible cover is made of a flexible material affixed to a portion of the circumference of the frame, so that the material blocks the sun's rays from the head and neck of the person when the frame is manually positioned to a proper protecting position. Further, above the flexible cover, the present invention has a solar powered USB mobile device charger for the user's convenience having one or more solar panels and one or more USB connecting ports.

A shading object includes a base unit, a support unit coupled to the base unit, and a rotation hub assembly, the rotation hub assembly coupled to the support unit and rotatable in a circular direction about the rotation hub assembly. The shading object also includes a control housing, the control housing coupled to the rotation hub assembly, the control housing having one or more motor assemblies installed therein. The shading object includes a pivot assembly, a shading element frame, and one or more shading elements, the shading element frame coupled to the pivot assembly, the pivot assembly to rotate the shading element frame and the one or more shading elements about the pivot assembly axis.

An intelligent umbrella includes a light sensor to generate a light intensity measurement, a motor to move the light sensor about an azimuth axis, the light sensor generating a plurality of light intensity measurements and associated locations. The intelligent umbrella also includes a controller to receive the plurality of light intensity measurements from the light sensor, and to identify a highest light sensor measurement of the plurality of light sensor measurements and an associated location. The controller generates and communicates a command including the associated location to a motor, which receives the command and moves the light sensor to the associated location. The controller moves a light sensor about an elevation axis, determines a peak intensity value and corresponding elevation location, and moves the light sensor to the corresponding elevation location.

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.

A shading object includes a base unit, one or more support units coupled to the base unit, a louver system coupled to the one or more support units, and a plurality of shading elements coupled to the one or more support units and the louver system. The one or more support units are positioned next to each other when the shading object is in a closed position. The plurality of shading elements are folded when the shading object is in a closed position. The one or more support units are moved apart from each other when the shading object is in an open position. The louver system adjusts a horizontal and/or a vertical orientation of at least one of the plurality of shading elements. The base unit further includes one or more weight compartments to provide stability to the shading object.
