System for charging mobile device using an ad-hoc infrastructure with energy harvesting capabilities
First Claim
1. A method for charging of a mobile device in an ad hoc charging system, the method comprising:
- registering a plurality of mobile device users in an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system, the registration including a charging profile, the charging profile including limits on charging cost;
registering a plurality of vehicle charging stations in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system, the registration including a charge supply profile, the charge supply profile including costs for charging;
authenticating a mobile device user as an ad hoc charging system registered user in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system;
automatically enabling a wireless charging connection between the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device and a first parked registered vehicle charging station parked at a location within a preset distance of the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device;
automatically controlling charging the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device according to the authenticated user'"'"'s charging profile and the first parked registered vehicle charging station'"'"'s charge supply profile; and
automatically enabling the charging connection to the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device to hop from the first parked vehicle charging station to a second parked vehicle charging station as the authenticated user moves out of the preset distance with the first parked registered vehicle charging station and within the preset distance with the second parked registered vehicle charging station.

Abstract
A system and method for charging of a mobile device in an ad hoc charging system. A plurality of mobile device users are registered in the ad hoc charging system, each with a charging profile. A plurality of charging stations are registered in the ad hoc charging system, each with a charge supply profile. A mobile device user is authenticated as an ad hoc charging system registered user with one of the plurality of registered charging stations, thereby enabling a charging connection between the authenticated user and the one registered charging station. The charging of the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device is controlled according to the authenticated user'"'"'s charging profile and the one registered charging station'"'"'s charge supply profile. Energy monitoring, movement tracking, energy prediction, user notification and energy allocation features are also included.
