Abstract
A power service receives, from battery enabled devices, battery charging information for multiple locations, wherein the battery charging information specifies the type of power source a device is being charged from and an amount of time charged. The power service analyzes the battery charging information for the locations to identify moving charging locations that change location. The power service filters the locations to identify locations where the type of power source is a power outlet. The power service filters the locations against a security map to identify a first selection of locations that are publicly accessible and a second selection of locations that require a security authorization. The power service generates a base map of the selection of locations. The power service specifies the base map for each user based on a schedule of the user identifying predicted locations and whether each particular user has a required security authorization.
