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.
