Have you ever ever misplaced your umbrella or left it someplace? It occurs on a regular basis, and it appears that evidently nearly everybody I do know has misplaced an umbrella throughout their lifetime. Not way back I used to be discussing this with a buddy. She recommended that we would have liked to invent a GPS umbrella finder locator gadget. That is potential in fact, I imply we do have the expertise, nonetheless it may not be all that worthwhile to place such a tool on an umbrella that you simply bought for less than $15.00 as a result of the GPS gadget or sensor connected may nearly value that a lot you see. Nonetheless, let’s talk about this potential eventuality and see if we would provide you with one thing?
First, I would wish to level out that umbrellas have plenty of floor space of their ribbing which might act as an antenna, so the facility element may not want all that a lot juice. Talking {of electrical} power, what about just a little photo voltaic cell, the sort that’s in a small calculator, that’s potential, however “oh wait, we use umbrellas throughout poor climate and due to this fact the solar most certainly is not shining. True sufficient, nonetheless these little calculator photo voltaic cells appear to work with out precise daylight, with synthetic gentle, similar to lamps or the lights on a bus, prepare, or subway. Possibly even subsequent to a avenue gentle.
Sure, that will maintain issues charged however you’d want a battery too, as a result of most individuals put umbrellas in a closet and it’s darkish in there, thus, no extra juice as soon as the battery is gone. The opposite downside is that GPS triangulation want wants a minimal of three satellites, however when your umbrella is in doorways, in a closet and has no juice left, it will not be capable to contact the satellite tv for pc. Sure, but it surely could possibly contact your mobile phone by way of an lively matrix RFID chip and a pinger gadget. Nicely in that case what are we in the way in which of sensors?
Nicely, the lively matrix RFID chip, maybe about $1.45 plus the battery, about the identical, plus just a few strips of metallic antenna materials operating alongside the body and ribs of the umbrella – one other $2 to $3 maybe. Nicely, we have simply added about six bucks to the umbrella so this most likely would not work for the $15 umbrellas however for an costly designer umbrella, it might make sense and maintain you from dropping it. Thus, I hope if you’re an engineer of shopper merchandise you’ll please take into account all this and suppose on it.
