  • the present finding is a system of "intelligent" electronic beach umbrellas that permits accomplishing a series of operations linked to the needs both of operators of bathing-tourism establishments and the clientele.
  • the beach umbrella product becomes an electronic system for general interactivity.
  • Embodiments of similar products are not known at the state of the art, but only several inventions are known pertaining to the object of the present finding but do not nullify its novelty and inventive activity requirements.
  • the European patent application EP00854459 describes a beach umbrella equipped with a refrigerator storage unit, supplied by means of non- conventional energy, for example photovoltaic solar energy, and electronically controlled.
  • the European patent application EP01354533 illustrates a beach umbrella that comprises a radio system comprising loudspeakers, supplied with a photovoltaic system.
  • the beach umbrella can also be used in a conventional manner.
  • the loudspeakers are positioned below the cloth, the electronic circuit inside the tubular part, and the photovoltaic cells above the textile cover.
  • the USA application US26124157 describes beach umbrellas for bathing use having a housing for electric/electronic devices including an electronic safe and the related control panel.
  • the power supply is preferably obtained by solar energy conversion.
  • the finding of the present invention resolves the above mentioned technical problem since it involves a system of electronic beach umbrellas for use at bathing establishments, solariums, hotel and private structures, characterised by a plurality of computerised terminals connected via wireless network with a central node and in that each beach umbrella is equipped with an independent power supply by means of alternative energy, for example solar energy.
  • a photovoltaic element 1 for the system power supply, provided with a support structure 2 and connection pin 3 to the traditional pole 11 of the beach umbrella and a computerised terminal 4, connected with said pole by- means of appropriate hinges 5 or other connection members, provided with appropriate electric outlets 6 and telematic connections 7, for example USB ports.
  • a computerised terminal with which the beach umbrella is provided, it is possible to use any external terminal (laptop, palmtop, Smartphone or the like) as long as it is provided with wireless technology. All terminals of the beach umbrellas communicate with a cashier terminal which manages them; in fact, it acts as an actual server of a wireless LAN network whose terminals (clients) are represented by the beach umbrellas.
  • the client-server connection is preferably based on Wi-Fi technology (by radio waves) through the use of Access-Points of IEEE 802.11 type which can usually communicate with 30 clients situated within a range of 100 m.
  • "bridge mode" Access-Points can be used, that is repeaters of the Wi-Fi signal.
  • other types of wireless connection are not excluded, such as for example Blue Tooth, infrared radiation, laser systems and the like.
  • All of the transmissions (client-server, client-client) are encrypted by using the protocol WP A2 (IEEE 802.1 Ii), so to ensure high communication security.
  • each client element positioned on the single umbrellas will be identified through the hardware address of the wireless network card. Other types of security are not excluded.
  • the clientele will be able to use the system for:
  • the mobile device once authenticated on the server and unequivocally associated with an intelligent beach umbrella, will be authorised to carry out orders that will be added to the single bill of the reference beach umbrella.
  • the automated management of orders and stock can be for example achieved by means of integration of the intelligent umbrella system with a POS (Point of Sale) system and an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.
  • POS Point of Sale
  • ERP Enterprise Resource Planning
  • Such integration would consist of installing a POS system for the sales directed to the counter and of maintaining synchronised on an ERP system all of the sales and orders coming from both the POS system and from the intelligent umbrellas.
  • a POS system that takes both the orders coming from the intelligent umbrellas and the sales directed to the counter and then synchronises all the data on the ERP system.
  • the ERP system would therefore permit knowing in real time the exact amount of the stock supply, planning optimal supply strategies, calculating purchasing trends and identifying the most profitable clients.
  • the entire system described up to now can in turn be integrated/synchronised with a web application (Internet) through which the administrator of the bathing establishment/restaurant/bar/pub can show (advertising) his own baths and simultaneously manage the on-line (remote) reservation of the offered services (beach umbrella reservation, number of seats, other offered services) with payment carried out through the application itself (on-line payment).
  • the overall design of the beach umbrella illustrates the fact that the components of the system are intended to be easily adaptable for the most common beach umbrellas already existing on the market.
  • the achievement ex novo of the entire apparatus should not be intended as excluded, however, such apparatus in any case being easy to assemble as well as disassemble for the related storage.
  • the user from home will also have the possibility to reserve the beach umbrella under which he will pass an enjoyable day by the sea, at a privileged position, without risking arriving on the beach and not finding any place available.
  • the reservation can be made by means of the use of credit card, on which also the subsequent purchases carried out under the beach umbrella can be charged.
