Created by Dave Kahng, the high-performance umbrella connects to your smartphone and has a texting transmitter. Currently fundraising on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-storage), the Davek Alert Umbrella is here just in time for rainy spring weather. Whenever you walk more than 30 feet away from the [smart umbrella](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casesafe), you will receive a text message. This means if you accidentally leave it behind at a library, pub or elsewhere, you will be reminded before it's too late. In September 2015, an associate app will be released that updates you on [local weather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-weather). You can make the settings so that it also reminds you via text to bring an umbrella with you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Umbrellas:** The development of smart umbrellas that connect to smartphones opens up opportunities for personalized notifications and reminders. - **Location-based Reminders:** The integration of location tracking technology in everyday items like umbrellas offers potential for reminders and alerts based on proximity. - **Internet of Things (iot) Accessories:** The Davek Alert Umbrella highlights the growing market for IoT accessories that enhance everyday objects with connectivity and smart functionality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology:** The technology industry can capitalize on developing innovative IoT accessories and smart umbrella solutions. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore the integration of location-based reminders and personalized notifications in various devices and accessories. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion and accessories industry can embrace the trend of smart umbrellas that combine functionality with stylish designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flying Umbrella Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-umbrella.md) - [OLED Weather Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-umbrella.md) - [All-Weather Protection Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherman-trek-umbrella.md) - [Car Roof Luggage Holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-storage.md) - [Branded Smartphone Parasols](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-parasol.md) - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [Two-People Umbrella Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shed-rain.md) - [Expertly Crafted Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-green-umbrella.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Durable Golf Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-lite-umbrella.md)
