SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INTERCONNECTED AND SECURE MOBILE DEVICE CHARGING STATIONS
First Claim
1. A publicly available mobile device charging system, comprising:
- one or more charging stations configured to charge a battery of a mobile device;
computing memory having associated therewith code configured to provide;
station location and associated information of one of the charging stations;
charging profile information of a plurality of ones of the mobile device; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory, configured to execute the code to;
based on the station location and associated information, allow a networked server to determine a proximity of the one or more charging stations to a location of one of the mobile devices, and to provide the proximity and directions to the one of the mobile devices; and
once one of the mobile devices is physically associated with the one of the charging stations, optimally charging the one of the mobile devices by causing the charging station to cycle through the charging profile information.

Abstract
Systems and methods for locating and providing public mobile device charging stations are disclosed. One or more charging stations may be configured to charge a battery of a mobile device. A database may be configured to store location information of the one or more charging stations as well as mobile device location and security credential information of the one or more respective mobile devices. A server communicatively coupled with the one or more charging stations and the database, may be configured to determine a proximity of the one or more charging stations to a location of the mobile device. This determination may be based on the station location information and the mobile device location information. Based on the determined proximity, provide the station location information of the respective one or more charging stations to the mobile device. The charging station further provides photo and/or video surveillance security to verify a user.
