System for charging mobile device using an ad-hoc infrastructure with energy harvesting capabilities
First Claim
1. A computer implemented 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 charging vehicles in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system, the registration including a charge supply profile, the charge supply profile including costs for charging, the charging vehicles being electric or hybrid electric vehicles;
authenticating a mobile device user as an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system registered user in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system;
monitoring the current charge of the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device and automatically alerting the authenticated user that the current charge is below a threshold set in the user'"'"'s charging profile;
locating one or more of the plurality of registered charging vehicles parked within a preset distance range of the authenticated user and sending the parked location information of the one or more registered charging vehicles within the preset distance range to the authenticated user;
automatically enabling a wireless charging connection between the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device and a parked registered charging vehicle parked at a location within the preset distance of the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device, the parked registered charging vehicle being selected by the user from the parked location information; and
automatically controlling charging the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device according to the authenticated user'"'"'s charging profile and the parked registered charging vehicle'"'"'s charge supply profile.

Abstract
A system and method for charging of a mobile device in an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. A plurality of mobile device users and charging vehicles are registered in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. The current charge of an authenticated mobile device user is monitoring and the user is automatically alerted the authenticated user that the current charge is below a threshold set in the user'"'"'s charging profile. The method includes locating registered charging vehicles parked within a preset distance range of the authenticated user and sending the parked location information to the user, automatically enabling a wireless charging connection between the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device and a parked registered charging vehicle selected by the user and automatically controlling charging the authenticated user'"'"'s mobile device according to the authenticated user'"'"'s charging profile and the parked registered charging vehicle'"'"'s charge supply profile.
