Abstract
A multiunit charging device and method for preemptive data upload is provided. A multiunit charging device controls a first mobile device, received at a plurality of charging stations of the multiunit charging device, to upload first data via a communication unit. After upload of the first data has begun, the multiunit charging device detects that a second mobile device is received at the plurality of charging stations. When an amount of second data for upload at the second mobile device is smaller than a remaining amount of the first data for upload at the first mobile device, the multiunit charging device: preempts uploading of the first data at the first mobile device; and controls the second mobile device to upload the second data via the communication unit.
