Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a recreational and environmental management system for lawns that is capable of providing a configurable protection for lawn spaces from harsh environmental factors like sunlight, safeguards plants from potential damage during recreational activities, and monitors and purifies the ambient air to maintain a healthy environment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Covering a lawn area is becoming increasingly important as environmental conditions change and urban spaces evolve. With rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns, outdoor spaces like lawns require effective management to ensure comfort, safety, and sustainability. A covered lawn provides protection from extreme weather, such as intense sunlight, rain, or wind, creating a more controlled and comfortable environment for outdoor activities. It also plays a crucial role in reducing the impact of environmental stressors on grass and plants, preventing soil erosion, and maintaining healthy vegetation. Moreover, urban areas often experience poor air quality due to pollution and dust, which affects the overall health of both people and plants. Covering the lawn help mitigate exposure to airborne contaminants by integrating filtration systems that purify the air. In addition, the covering provide shelter for outdoor furniture, equipment, and children’s play areas, ensuring they are protected from the elements. The integration of sensors and motorized systems in a lawn-covering solution further enhances its functionality, allowing real-time environmental monitoring and adaptive responses. This technological approach enables a more responsive and dynamic management system, adjusting to varying weather conditions and air quality, ultimately contributing to a safer, healthier, and more pleasant outdoor environment.

[0003] Various equipment and systems are available for covering lawn areas to manage environmental conditions, each offering specific benefits and drawbacks. Retractable awnings and pergolas are commonly used to provide shade and shelter, effectively protecting the lawn from excessive sunlight and rain. These structures are manually or motorized for ease of use but often lack the ability to adapt automatically to changing weather conditions, and their installation are costly. Additionally, they may not provide complete protection from extreme weather such as hail or high winds. Another option is motorized covers with electrochromic glass segments, which offer the ability to adjust transparency and provide shade or exposure based on sunlight levels. These systems are sophisticated but are expensive to install and maintain. They also require a consistent power supply and may be prone to malfunctions due to environmental exposure. For air quality control, some systems include filtering nets and activated carbon filters, which help purify the air but are limited in their effectiveness when large-scale contamination occurs. Furthermore, these systems require regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure optimal performance.

[0022] The present invention relates to a recreational and environmental management system for lawns that protects lawn spaces from environmental factors like harsh sunlight, provides a swinging feature that adjusts to children's heights, prevents plant damage during play, and purifies the air to ensure a healthy and safe environment.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a recreational and environmental management system for lawns is illustrated, comprises of a rectangular overhead frame 101 supported by a plurality of vertical rods 102, a motorized roller 103 attached at one end of the rectangular frame 101, the roller 103 holding a flexible cover 104 formed by interconnected electrochromic glass segments 105 via motorized hinges 106, a pair of motorized sliders 107 positioned on opposing longitudinal sides of the rectangular frame 101, the sliders 107 are equipped with motorized clamping units 108, a motorized swing 109 installed beneath the frame 101 and comprising a swing seat 110 suspended via chains 111 and linked with a motorized ball and socket joint 112, a hydraulic arrangement integrated into the swing’s support structure 113 of the swing 109.

[0024] Figure 1 further illustrates an AI imaging unit 114 positioned on the frame 101, a rotatable hologram projection unit 115 installed on the frame 101, a height-adjustable protective fence 116 present on the lawn, a sensing module 117 mounted on the frame 101, a filtering net 118 via side-mounted motorized rollers 119, and activates an activated carbon filter 120 installed on the frame 101, a rotatable bar 121 attached at an end of the filtering net 118 and equipped with a series of sharp-edged conical metal elements 122 mounted on motorized spherical joints 123, an integrated speaker 124 provided on the frame 101, plurality of LEDs 125 mounted on the frame 101 for illuminating the lawn, a microphone 126 integrated across the frame 101.

[0025] The present invention includes an overhead frame 101 preferably in rectangular shape incorporating various components associated with the system. The frame 101 is supported by multiple vertical rods 102 anchored at each corner of a backyard lawn, developed to be forming a structured boundary above the law. The frame 101 is made up of any material selected from but not limited to metal or alloy that ensures rigidity of the frame 101 for longevity of the system.

[0026] The system is operable after installation to the site for forming the structured boundary above the lawn. The frame 101 and its associated components are pre-activated with connected power supply for execution of the associated processes of the system. An inbuilt microcontroller of the system is employed for operating of all the linked components in view of performing their respective functions upon actuation. The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the linked components.

[0027] The top portion of the frame 101 incorporates a motorized roller 103 which is attached at one end of the rectangular frame 101. The roller 103 is integrated with a flexible cover 104 which are formed by interconnected electrochromic glass segments 105 by means of multiple motorized hinges 106.

[0028] The frame 101 is embedded with one or more environmental sensors for assessing environmental parameters of the surrounding. One of the environmental sensor includes a sun sensor that detects sunlight intensity. The sun sensor comprises of a photodiode, wherein the photodiode is capable of measuring intensity of illuminance as when beam of sunlight strikes the photodiode, then the photodiode has a tendency to loosen electrons causing an electric current to flow. More the intensity of sunlight, stronger is the electric current generated by the sun sensor, the intensity of the current is signaled to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the received signal from the sun sensor in order to direction of sunlight incident on the frame 101.

[0029] The microcontroller evaluates the detected intensity of sunlight exceeding a threshold sunlight intensity pre-fed in a linked database. Accordingly, the microcontroller then actuates a direct current (DC) motor associated with the roller 103 such that rotates an integrated hub of the roller 103 consequently results in rotation of the roller 103 for rolling or unrolling the cover, in order to deploy the cover 104 over the ceiling portion of the frame 101.

[0030] Simultaneously, the microcontroller activates the electrochromic glass segments 105 for adjusting tint levels in accordance with ambient lighting. The electrochromic glass segments 105 adjust their tint levels in response to ambient lighting by utilizing a specialized coating that changes the optical properties of the glass when an electric current is applied. Each segment is composed of multiple layers, including a conductive layer, an electrochromic layer, and an ion-storage layer. When the microcontroller receives input from the sun sensor detecting intense sunlight, the microcontroller activates the electrochromic glass by applying a voltage across the layers, causing the electrochromic material to undergo a reversible chemical reaction. This reaction leads to the absorption of light and a darkening of the glass. As ambient light levels decrease, the microcontroller reduces the voltage, allowing the electrochromic material to return to its transparent state. The process allows the glass to dynamically adjust tint of the glass, providing shade when sunlight intensity is high, and ensuring optimal light transmission when the environment is dimmer, for enhancing comfort and energy efficiency for the lawn space.

[0031] The opposing longitudinal sides of the rectangular frame 101 are equipped with a pair of motorized sliders 107. The sliders 107 are integrated with motorized clamping units 108 which are configured to slide along the frame 101. In relation to the actuation of the roller 103, the microcontroller actuates the clamping units 108 to grasp the edges of the cover 104 for deployment.

[0032] Each of the clamping unit 108 comprises a clamp operates by utilizing a direct current electric motor to control the opening and closing of its jaws. When activated, the motor moves a threaded rod connected to one jaw, causing it to slide relative to the fixed jaw. This movement either opens or closes the clamp, allowing it to grip or release the cover 104 with precision and force.

[0033] Synchronously, the microcontroller actuates the sliders 107 for positioning the clamping units 108 from one end of the frame 101 to the other end of the frame 101. This translation of the gripped cover, results on deployment of the cover 104 over the upper portion of the frame 101.

[0034] Each of the slider 107 is associated with a pair of sliding rails fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of the slider 107 is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in the rotation of the shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the slider 107 results in the translation of the clamping units 108 over the frame 101 for covering the ceiling portion of the frame 101. The actuation of the sliders 107 and the clamping units 108 in synchronization with the roller 103 ensures guided deployment or retraction of the cover 104 in a safe and secure manner.

[0035] In the event of the detected sunlight receding the threshold, the microcontroller activates plurality of LEDs 125 which are mounted on the frame 101 for illuminating the lawn. Each of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) units are a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The intensity of the light is corresponding to the energy of the photons and is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor thereby illuminates lights with high intensity. The LEDs 125 are controlled via a computing unit linked to the microcontroller via a communication module. A user accesses the computing unit for enabling adjustment of light intensity and on/off operation.

[0036] The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, ZigBee, or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing systems to exchange information over short or long distances for communication of wireless commands to facilitate operations of the system.

[0037] In addition, the user is enabled to provide voice command via a microphone 126 mounted on the frame 101 regarding controlled operation of the LEDs 125 and other components of the system. The microphone 126 turns the sound energy emitted by the user into electrical energy. The sound waves created by the user carry energy towards the microphone 126. Inside the microphone 126, a diaphragm, made of plastic, is present and moves back and forth when the sound wave hits the diaphragm. The coil attached to the diaphragm also moves in same way. The magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet cuts through the coil. As the coil moves, the electric current flows. The electric current from coil flows to an amplifier which convert the sound into electrical signal. The microcontroller linked to the microphone 126 recognize the voice and perform the operations according to the command given by the user regarding operational control of the LEDs 125 and other components of the system.

[0038] The frame 101 is incorporated with a motorized swing 109, which is installed beneath the frame 101. The swing 109 incorporate a swing seat 110 suspended by means of chains 111. For recreational swinging activity, the user provides input for the operation of the swing 109 via the microphone 126. A speaker 124 is installed on the frame 101 and that is activated by the microcontroller to alert the user for providing input related to the height of the user for height adjustment of the swing 109.

[0039] The speaker 124 works by taking the input signal from the microcontroller, it then processes and amplifies the received signal through a series of equipment in a specific order within the speaker 124, and then sends the output signal in form of audio notification through the speaker 124 for alerting the user to provide input of height of the user. The user is required to provide height for adjustment of the swing 109 for easy accessibility to the user.

[0040] The swing’s support structure 113 is configured with a hydraulic arrangement. A hydraulic arrangement is associated with the system for providing extension/retraction of the swing’s support structure 113 as per requirement. Based upon receiving of the user input for swinging activity, the microcontroller actuates a hydraulic pump and hydraulic valve associated with a hydraulic arrangement consisting of a hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve and piston that work in collaboration for providing the required extension/retraction to the swing’s support structure 113 to allow passage of hydraulic fluid from the pump within the cylinder, the hydraulic fluid further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston.

[0041] The piston is connected with the swing’s support structure 113 and due to applied pressure, the swing’s support structure 113 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the swing’s support structure 113 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. The microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the swing’s support structure 113 thereby providing height adjustment of the swing 109 for easy access for swinging activity. For instance, height adjustment required for recreational swinging activity by a child. All the hydraulically operated components associated with the system comprises of the same type of hydraulic arrangement.

[0042] Post height adjustment of the swing’s support structure 113, the microcontroller re-activates the speaker 124 to inform the user to get accommodated over the swing seat 110. The microcontroller generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 114 integrated on the frame 101 for capturing multiple images in a vicinity of the frame 101 for monitoring accommodation of the user over the swing seat 110. The imaging unit 114 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 114 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller determine accommodation of the user over the swing seat 110.

[0043] The chains 111 of the swing seat 110 are connected with the support structure 113 by means of a motorized ball and socket joint 112. The microcontroller actuates the ball and socket joints 112 to facilitate fluid swinging motion of the swing. The ball and socket joint 112 provides a multi-angle rotation to the chains 111 for aiding the chains 111 to turn at a desired angle. The ball and socket joint 112 is a coupling consisting of a ball joint securely locked within a socket joint 112, where the ball joint is able to move in a multi-angle rotation within the socket thus, providing the required rotational motion to the swing seat 110 via the chains 111. The ball and socket joint 112 is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller thus providing multidirectional movement to the swing seat 110 via the chains 111.

[0044] The user is allowed to provide input via the microphone 126 regarding regulates direction and speed of the swing 109. The swing seat 110 is embedded with a weight sensor to detect occupant weight. The weight sensor used herein is a kind of a transducer. The weight sensor depends on the conversion of a load into an electronic signal. The signal is a change in voltage or current otherwise a frequency on the basis of load and the signal is sent to the microcontroller for processing in order to monitor weight of the occupant.

[0045] The microcontroller evaluates the detected weight of the user exceeding a pre-defined threshold present in the linked database. The microcontroller via the speaker 124, then, alerts to the user regarding the overweight condition and specifying potential safety concerns of the user.

[0046] The microcontroller via the imaging unit 114 continuously monitors the lawn in synchronization with an ultrasonic sensor provided with the frame 101, for detecting hazardous objects on the ground. The ultrasonic sensor disclosed herein, consists of an emitter and a receiver that acts as a transducer. The emitter emits ultrasonic sound waves towards the ground. Then, the radiation strike to the ground and reflect back which are captured by the receiver. The signal from the ultrasonic sensor is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller assesses the collected data of the ultrasonic sensor and the imaging unit 114 to determine presence of hazardous objects on the ground.

[0047] In case of detection of the hazardous objects, the microcontroller actuates a rotatable hologram projection unit 115 installed on the frame 101 to highlight the hazardous objects. The holographic projection unit 115 uses interference patterns of light to create realistic three-dimensional images in mid-air. It typically consists of a laser source, beam splitters, mirrors, and a holographic screen or projection surface. The projection unit 115 projects light onto a surface from multiple angles, using the interference of light waves to produce 3D images visible from different perspectives. The projected visuals alert the user by highlighting the detected hazardous objects lying on the ground, in order to let the user be informed for preventing any hazard due to collision.

[0048] The projection unit 115 is mounted on the frame 101 by means of a rotatable joint. The working of the rotatable joint is similar to the working of the ball and socket joint 112 as mentioned above, thereby efficiently projects the hazardous object over the ground. In relation to the highlighted object, the microcontroller activates the speaker 124 to alert the user for removal of the hazardous objects from the ground, in order to prevent any collision of the user with the object.

[0049] A ground-penetrating radar (GPR) sensor is configured within the frame 101 to scan beneath the lawn surface for detecting buried sharp or non-metallic objects. The GPR sensor is an electromagnetic sensor used for detecting and recognizing objects of various kinds at considerable distances and lying underneath the ground surface. The GPR sensor is operated by transmitting electromagnetic energy toward objects, commonly referred to as targets, and observing the echoes returned from them. The GPR sensor transmits object location data to the microcontroller, and accordingly the microcontroller actuates the projection unit 115 to visually mark the location on the ground.

[0050] In addition, the frame 101 is associated with a height-adjustable protective fence 116 encircling a plant present on the lawn. The microcontroller via the imaging unit 114 detection of approaching children or potential threats around the plants. The fence 116 is arranged with a motorized hinge-enabled top plate to shield the plant from aerial threats.

[0051] The height-adjustable fence 116 comprises retractable telescopic posts. A pneumatic arrangement is associated with the system for providing extension/retraction of the posts as per requirement.

[0052] For protection of the plants in view of the aerial threats, the microcontroller actuates an air compressor and air valve associated with the pneumatic arrangement consisting of an air cylinder, air valve and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the posts. The air valve allows entry/exit of compressed air from the compressor. Then, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the posts and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends. For the retraction of the piston, air is released from the cylinder to the air compressor via the valve. Thus, providing the required extension/retraction of the posts for altering the height of the connected posts. The posts are arranged in a nested manner by means of hinge joints. The microcontroller actuates a direct current (DC) motor associated with the hinges such that tilt the posts by revolving along the longitudinal axis. The tilting and extension of the posts, all together in sync results in encircling the plant during threat detection and retracted post removal of threat.

[0053] Additionally, the frame 101 is embedded with a sensing module 117 for assessing air quality in vicinity of the frame 101. The sensing module 117 comprising an MQ gas sensor and a particulate matter sensor. The MQ gas sensor and particulate matter sensor work together to monitor air quality by detecting harmful substances in the surrounding environment. The MQ gas sensor operates by using a sensitive material, often a metal oxide, that changes its electrical resistance in the presence of specific gases, such as carbon monoxide, methane, or other volatile organic compounds. When gas molecules come into contact with the MQ sensor’s surface, they either donate or accept electrons, altering the resistance of the material. This change is then detected by the sensor, and the data is sent to the microcontroller, which interprets the concentration of the detected gases.

[0054] The particulate matter sensor, on the other hand, detects solid particles or liquid droplets suspended in the air, such as dust, smoke, or allergens. The particulate matter sensor uses a laser or infrared light source that shines through a sensing chamber. When particles pass through the light path, they scatter the light, and a photodetector measures the amount of scattered light. The particulate matter sensor calculates the concentration of particulate matter based on the intensity of the scattered light, providing data on the levels of fine dust (PM2.5) and larger particles (PM10). The microcontroller assesses the collected data of the sensing module 117 to determine air quality within the frame 101. The microcontroller evaluates receding of the detected air quality from a threshold air-quality parameter pre-fed in the linked database.

[0055] Multiple side-mounted motorized rollers 119 are positioned each sides of the frame 101 over the ceiling portion. The side-mounted motorized rollers 119 are coiled with a filtering net. Based upon the receded air quality, the microcontroller actuates the side-mounted motorized rollers 119 to deploy the filtering net 118 along sides of the frame 101. The working of the side-mounted motorized rollers 119 is similar to the working of the rollers 119 as mentioned above.

[0056] The ends of the filtering net 118 are integrated with a rotatable bar 121 via motorized spherical joint. A series of sharp-edged conical metal elements 122 are mounted on motorized spherical joints 123 connected with the bars. During the full deployment of the net 118 towards the ground, the conical metal elements 122 are in contact with the ground surface.

[0057] The microcontroller accordingly actuates the spherical joints 123 for rotating the bar 121 such that triggers embedding of the conical metal elements 122 onto the ground for securing the filtering net 118 with the ground surface. The working of the spherical joint is similar to the working of the ball and socket joint 112 as mentioned above, to rotate the bar 121 for insertion of the conical metal elements 122 onto the ground surface, thereby secures the filtering net 118 in position during adverse conditions.

[0058] Synchronously, the microcontroller activates carbon filter 120 installed on the frame 101 to purify ambient air. The activated carbon filter 120 is strategically positioned downstream of the filtering net, acting as a secondary filtration stage to enhance air purification. The activated carbon filter 120 features a layered structure, typically composed of multiple layers of activated carbon material, which is highly porous and has a vast surface area that can effectively adsorb a wide range of airborne pollutants. The primary function of this filter is to capture gaseous pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and harmful gases like nitrogen dioxide or ozone, which passes through the initial filtering net.

[0059] In addition to trapping gases, the activated carbon filter 120 is designed to capture fine particulates, including microscopic dust, pollen, and allergens that may be too small for the filtering net 118 to effectively remove. The layered structure of the carbon filter 120 ensures that the air is progressively purified as it passes through, with each layer designed to target specific types of pollutants. Once the air has been purified, the clean, allergen-free, and pollutant-free air is then released into the lawn, ensuring that the outdoor environment is not only visually appealing but also healthier and safer for users, especially those with respiratory concerns or sensitivities to air quality.

[0060] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the system.

[0061] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the rectangular overhead frame 101 as disclosed in the invention is supported by vertical rods 102 at the corners of the backyard lawn, creating the structured boundary above the lawn. The motorized roller 103, controlled by the microcontroller, rolls or unrolls the flexible cover 104 formed by electrochromic glass segments 105 that adjust tint levels based on environmental conditions. Motorized sliders 107 on opposing sides of the frame 101 assist in maintaining the cover's tension and alignment during deployment or retraction. The motorized swing 109, with the hydraulic arrangement for height adjustment and the motorized ball-and-socket joint 112 for swinging motion, is also regulated by the microcontroller. The system includes AI imaging and ultrasonic sensors to detect hazardous objects, triggering the hologram projection unit 115, while the height-adjustable protective fence 116 responds to threats. Air quality is monitored by the MQ gas sensor and particulate matter sensor, activating the filtering net 118 and carbon filter 120 when poor air conditions are detected. Additionally, the sun sensor triggers the cover's deployment based on sunlight intensity, while the weight sensor in the swing seat 110 ensures safety by alerting users when the weight exceeds the threshold. The system also incorporates the ground-penetrating radar for detecting buried objects, LED lighting, the speaker 124 and microphone 126 for audio alerts and voice control, and retractable telescopic posts for protecting plants. The activated carbon filter 120 purifies the air by trapping pollutants before releasing clean air into the lawn.
