BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Due to exorbitant rise in pollution in the environment supplemented by global warming, the atmosphere of the earth experiences unexpected changes in the weather. The unexpected changes in the weather lead to non-uniform raining pattern throughout the year. The non-uniform raining pattern creates confusion to the people whether to carry umbrella or parasol with them, when they leave out from their houses out for the market. Unexpected rainfall or extreme hotness on a summer day causes cringe-worthy moment for the people outside their houses.
[0004] One possible solution would be that the people can carry umbrella, parasol or any other shading structure along with them while being outside or away from their houses to avoid being exposed to extreme hotness on a hot summer day or to the rain. Carrying umbrella causes an add-on load to the people that require an extra care during the travel outside of their houses, which may go in vain, in case the weather remains favorable throughout the duration the people being outside/away from their houses.
[0005] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide an efficient solution that can obviate the above mentioned limitations, and provides a wearable accessory preventing cringe-worthy moments for the people being outside of their houses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in
order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present
invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that embodiments of the
present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details.
[0027] If the specification states a component or feature "may", "can",
"could", or "might" be included or have a characteristic, that particular component
or feature is not required to be included or have the characteristic.
[0028] As used herein the description and throughout the claims that follow,
the meaning of "a," "an," and "the" includes plural reference unless the context
clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of
"in" includes "in" and "on" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0029] The terms "user" and "wearer" as used herein the description are used
interchangeably to each other.
[0030] FIG. 1A illustrates a wearable accessory (100) worn by a user. The
wearable accessory (100) can include a control unit (102), a sensor (104), an air
pump (106), an outer sheath (108), an inner liner (110), an air receiving space
(112), a switch (114) and a band (116).
[0031] The control unit (102) can be operatively coupled with the sensor
(104) and the air pump (106). The sensor (104) can be associated with the outer
sheath (108). The outer sheath (108) can be spread on the outer side of the
wearable accessory (100) that can be exposed to the atmosphere. The inner liner
(110) can be arranged at the inner side of the wearable accessory (100) that is in
contact with the head of the user.
[0032] In an embodiment, the outer sheath (108) can be made up of nylon.
[0033] In an embodiment, the inner liner (110) can be made up of cotton.
[0034] In an embodiment, the inner liner (110) can be provided with a cushion pad that can be configured to enhance cushioning effect of the wearable accessory and thereby providing comfort to the user, when the wearable accessory (100) is worn by the user.
[0035] Upon raining, when the wearable accessory (100) is worn by the user, the sensor (104) can be a water sensor that can be configured to sense the rain, when the water droplets of the rain fall on the outer sheath (108) of the wearable accessory (100). Upon sensing the rain, the sensor (104) can be configured to send a first signal that corresponds to the rain, to the control unit (102). The control unit (102) upon receipt of the first signal can actuate the air pump (106) that deploys the wearable accessory (100) into an umbrella (101) as shown in Fig. IB. The air pump (106) can be configured to fill air into the air receiving space (112) of the wearable accessory (100) for deploying the wearable accessory (100) into the umbrella (101) and thereby preventing the exposure of the rain to the user. The umbrella (101), when deployed, is supported on the head of the user by the band (116) of the wearable accessory (100).
[0036] In an embodiment, the sensor (104) can be a temperature sensor that is configured to sense temperature of the atmosphere. The sensor (104) can be configured such that the user can set a pre-determined value of temperature in the sensor (104), which when triggered is able to transmit a first signal to the control unit (102). Upon receipt of the first signal by the sensor (104), the control unit (102) can be configured to actuate the air pump (106) that fills the air into the air receiving space (112) of the wearable accessory (100) to convert the wearable accessory (100) into the umbrella (101) and thereby preventing the exposure of extreme hotness to the user or wearer. The umbrella (101), when deployed, is supported on the head of the user by the band (116) of the wearable accessory (100).
[0037] In an embodiment, the triggering of the pre-determined value of temperature in the sensor (104) can be crossing or exceeding the temperature value of the atmosphere.
[0038] Now, when the rain stops, the sensor (104) is not able to sense the rain, therefore, a second signal can be transmitted by the sensor (104) to the control unit (102). Upon receipt of the second signal, the control unit (102) can be configured to release the accumulated air from the air-receiving space (112) and thereby collapsing the umbrella (101) into a head-gear (103) by releasing the air. [0039] In an embodiment, when the wearable accessory (100) is already deployed in the umbrella (101) and the temperature of the atmosphere is detected below the pre-determined value of the temperature by the sensor (104) then the control unit (102) is configured to release the accumulated air from the air-receiving space (112) and thereby collapsing the umbrella (101) back into the head-gear (103) by releasing the air.
[0040] In an embodiment, actuation of the switch (114) of the wearable accessory (100) can be configured to release accumulated air from the air-receiving space (112) and thereby collapsing the umbrella (101) back into the head-gear (103) by releasing the air.
[0041] In an embodiment, the wearable accessory (100) can be a cap worn on the head of the user.
[0042] In an embodiment, a number of reinforcing structures can be provided with the wearable accessory (100) that can be adapted to be stretched upon deploying of the wearable accessory (100) into the umbrella (101). [0043] In an embodiment, the wearable accessory (100) can be folded/unfolded for providing ease in carrying the wearable accessory (100) from one place to another.
[0044] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a convertible wearable accessory (100) is disclosed. The convertible wearable accessory (100) includes a sensor (104), a control unit (102), an air pump (106), an air receiving space (112), a first configuration, and a second configuration. The sensor (104) can be configured to sense rain in the first configuration of the wearable accessory (100) and transmits a first signal to the control unit (102). The control unit (102) upon receipt of the first signal from the sensor (104) can be configured to actuate the air pump (106). The air pump (106) upon actuation can be configured to fill
air in the air-receiving space (112) of the convertible wearable accessory (100) to convert the wearable accessory (100) into the second configuration. [0045] The terms, descriptions and figures used herein are set forth by way of illustration only. Many variations are possible within the spirit and scope of the subject matter, which is intended to be defined by the following claims and their equivalents in which all terms are meant in their broadest reasonable sense unless otherwise indicated.
[0046] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
