Abstract
The personal electronic charging station is adapted for use in charging one or more personal data devices. The personal electronic charging station is adapted for use one or more electronic payment systems selected from the group consisting of credit card payment systems or a token based payment system. The personal electronic charging station is a switched charging station that distributes electric power to the personal data devices on a fee for service basis. Once the fee has been received through the electronic payment system, the personal electronic charging station will distribute electrical power for use in charging the one or more personal data devices. The personal electronic charging station comprises a cabinet, a charging circuit, and a control system.
