The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a sun shade assembly. Particularly, the assembly includes a sail that releasably attaches to a pair of ribs, providing shade to the user. At least one support arm can be used to reinforce the ribs. A mast provides height to the assembly and includes an anchor that allows the assembly to be secured into a support surface (e.g., sand). The ribs and support arms rotate about the mast, thereby self-adjusting the direction of sail in response to the wind blowing. The assembly further includes a tension adjuster that can be tightened or loosed to control the rotation of the ribs and support arms in response to wind conditions.

A canopy system is disclosed, including a first frame member and a second frame member. A canopy includes a first channel to receive the first frame member therethrough and a second channel to receive the second frame member therethrough. A first rope extends from a left side of the first frame member and a second rope extends from a right side of the first frame member. At least one anchor affixed to an end of each rope and at least one anchor affixed to the ends of the first frame member and the second frame member to retain the canopy in a suitable position. The canopy system allows for the efficient setup of the canopy both in windy conditions and calm (no wind) conditions.

Disclosed is a foldable tent with central lifting and automatic opening and closing structure, including a central bracket group and inclined frames. The central bracket group includes an upper frame and a base bracket. The inclined frame includes a first inclined rod hinged with the upper frame at one end, and a second inclined rod hinged with the first inclined rod at one end.

A modular umbrella system, comprises one or more shading elements and a support assembly, coupled to the one or more shading elements, to provide support for the one or more shading elements. The modular umbrella system further comprises a base assembly, coupled to the support assembly, to provide contact with a surface. The base assembly comprises one or more microphones to capture audio commands, one or more processors, one or more memory modules and one or more communication transceivers. Computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules are executed by a processor to convert the captured audio commands into audio files and communicate the captured audio commands to an external computing device utilizing the one or more communication transceivers. The computer-readable instructions are part of an artificial intelligence application programming interface that communicates with an external artificial intelligence computing device to process the communicated audio file.
