Abstract
According to an aspect, there is provided a method connectivity of at least two user apparatuses is identified to a power source via a Universal Serial Bus type-C connection (USB-C). Apparatus characteristics of the at least two user apparatuses are obtained. Charging preference data relating to the at least two user apparatuses is also obtained. Based on the apparatus characteristics and the charging preference data, a charging scheme is determined to provide charging power to the at least two user apparatuses from the power source. The determined charging scheme is then applied to charge the at least two user apparatuses via the USB-C connection.
