DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view showing the assembly of a handle of a smart umbrella according to a first embodiment of the present invention, the handle 10 comprises: a safety device 20 mounted in the handle 10. The safety device 20 includes a printed circuit board (PCB) 30 arranged thereon, and the PCB 30 has a bluetooth module 303 and a power module 300 which are fixed on the PCB 30. To detect ultraviolet (UV) intensity in circumstance, the PCB 30 also has a first detector 301 configured to sense ultraviolet ray and has a data processing unit 302, wherein the first detector 301 is electrically connected with the data processing unit 302, the data processing unit 302 is electrically connected with the bluetooth module 303 so as to transmit data to the bluetooth module 303, and the bluetooth module 303 sends the data to a smart terminal 50. The bluetooth module 303 is configured to connect with a bluetooth module of the smart terminal 50, wherein when the bluetooth module 303 does not connect with the bluetooth module of the smart terminal 50, the smart terminal 50 sends alert. The first detector 301 transmits detected ultraviolet (UV) information to the data processing unit 302 so that the data processing unit 302 processes and transmits the detected UV information to the bluetooth module 303. Thereafter, the bluetooth module 303 sends the detected UV information to the smart terminal 50, thus detecting the (UV) intensity in the circumstance.

[0029] To detect temperature and humidity in the circumstance, the PCB 30 further has a second detector 304 for detecting the temperature and the humidity, wherein the second detector 304 is electrically coupled with the data processing unit 302, and the data processing unit 302 is electrically connected with the bluetooth module 303.

[0030] To reduce power consumption of the safety device 20, the power module 300 is a button cell battery, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a side plan view of the button cell battery, and FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the button cell battery. In this embodiment, the button cell battery 401 is lithium-manganese dioxide cell battery CR2032 so as to prolong service life and save power consumption.

[0031] In this embodiment, the smart terminal is a cellular phone. Preferably, the smart terminal is a tablet computer or a notebook computer.

[0032] To reduce manufacture cost and power consumption, a bluetooth chip of the bluetooth module 303 is BLE4.0 chip which consumes less power.

[0033] With reference to FIG. 4, in operation, the safety device 20 is mounted in the handle 10, the power module 300 of the safety device 20 is electrically conducted, and the bluetooth module of the terminal 50 is turned on so as to search and connect with the bluetooth module 303 of the safety device 20 within a predetermined distance. As the bluetooth module of the smart terminal 50 connects with the bluetooth module 303 of the safety device 20, the smart terminal 50 displays connection succeeded. In the meantime, the first detector 301 and the second detector 304 of the safety device 20 sense the UV intensity, the temperature, and the humidity in the circumstance, and the UV information, temperature information, and humidity information are transmitted to and are processed by the data processing unit 302, thereafter the data processing unit 302 sends the UV information, the temperature information, and the humidity information to the bluetooth module 303, then the bluetooth module 303 transmits the UV information, the temperature information, and the humidity information to the smart terminal 50 so as to display the UV information, the temperature information, and the humidity information on the smart terminal 50. Thus, a user decides his/her destination based on the UV information, the temperature information, and the humidity information easily. As the smart umbrella is left in other places or is taken away by someone else, and a distance between the handle 10 and the smart terminal 50 is more than a predetermined safety distance, the bluetooth module 303 of the safety device 20 does not connect with the bluetooth module of the smart terminal 50, so the smart terminal 50 makes alert to the user. Thereby, the smart umbrella avoids getting lost and being stolen, and the smart umbrella detects the UV intensity, the temperature, and the humidity.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7, a difference of a second embodiment of a handle 20 from that of the first embodiment comprises: a safety device 20 being removal from the handle 10, wherein the handle 10 has a first magnet 100, and the safety device 20 has a second magnet 200 configured to magnetically attract with the first magnet 100, hence the safety device 20 is mounted on the handle 10. As shown in FIG. 6, the safety device 200 is formed in an inverted hat shape so as to matingly fix with a bottom of the handle 10. Preferably, the safety device 20 can be in any other shapes according to using requirements.

[0035] Furthermore, between the safety device 20 and the handle 10 is defined a locking structure (not shown) so as to fix the safety device 20 and the handle 10 together. The locking structure is a locking tab arranged on the safety device 20, and a connecting orifice is defined on the handle 10 so as to retain with the locking tab of the safety device 20, thus fixing the safety device 20 on the handle 10. Furthermore, between the safety device 20 and the handle 10 is defined a rotatable connection structure (not shown). For example, the safety device 20 has inner threads arranged thereon, and the handle 10 has outer threads formed thereon, such that the inner threads of the safety device 20 rotatably screw with the outer threads of the handle 10, thus fixing the safety device 20 on the handle 10.

[0036] FIG. 8 is a side plane view of the smart umbrella, wherein the smart umbrella has the handle 10.

[0037] While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
