First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for authorizing power charging of a user equipment (UE) based on a location, comprising:
- authorizing a power charging session by firmware of the UE for charging the UE upon detecting the UE is within an authorized geographic location, wherein the detecting includes validating a current geographic location of the UE is on an approved list of authorized geographic locations stored in a database associated with the UE; and
performing;
permitting an unauthorized charging session to charge the UE up to a pre-authorized charging limit upon the UE being located in an unauthorized geographic location;
orpermitting the power charging session to continue to charge the UE upon detecting the UE relocated from the authorized geographic location to an unauthorized geographic location.
