Abstract

The fortunate and tremendous advance in the field of Internet of Things has been a main motivation for many smart systems around the world. This advanced technology helps in efficient interaction of devices. The best support to a women who senses vulnerability is through the logical interaction of the elements around her to communicate her present state to a trustworthy. In this paper, the mechanism of the iBrella is explained. The concept is based on the incorporation of creative features in an umbrella. These features include conversion of solar energy for different purposes, women safety and use of sensors for predicting rain, temperature and humidity of the environment.
