Abstract

A method for providing electrical energy to a user device associated with a user includes: identifying a communications link between the user device and the mobile charging system; sending a user identifier to a remote server associated with the application; verifying a user eligibility for electrical energy provision to the device based on the user identifier; verifying a data integrity of mobile charging system software; controlling the mobile charging system to provide electrical energy to the user device; and controlling the mobile charging system to adjust electrical energy provision to the user device.

Claims (20)

1. A method performed by a computer processor executing computer program instructions stored on a non-transitory medium, the method providing electrical energy to a user device including a computing system, the user device associated with a user, the electrical energy provided by a mobile charging system including mobile charging system software, the mobile charging system located at a venue, the method comprising:

detecting, at an application operating on the computing system included in the user device, a user device state of charge below a state of charge threshold;

in response to detecting the user device state of charge below the state of charge threshold, directing, via the application, the user to the venue including the mobile charging system;

identifying, at the application, a wired electrical connection between the user device and the mobile charging system;

in response to identifying the wired electrical connection, sending over a network, via the application, a user identifier to a server located remotely from the mobile charging system, the server associated with the application;

verifying, via the server, a user eligibility for electrical energy provision to the device based on the user identifier;

generating a diagnostic result regarding the status of the software included in the mobile charging system, the diagnostic result including at least one of: results of an inspection to determine whether the software includes an unauthorized file, and results of an inspection to determine whether the software includes malware;

receiving, at the server, mobile charging system data concerning the diagnostic result;

verifying a data integrity of the mobile charging system software based on the mobile charging system data;

in response to verification of the user eligibility and the data integrity of the mobile charging system software, controlling, via the application, the mobile charging system to provide electrical energy to the user device; and

in response to termination of the user eligibility, controlling, via the application, the mobile charging system to cease electrical energy provision to the user device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile charging system data comprises a record of electrical energy provision from the mobile charging system to the set of user devices.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending a mobile charging system identifier to the remote server; and

storing, at the remote system, a set of mobile charging system information based on the mobile charging system identifier and verification of the data integrity of the mobile charging system software.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to failing to verify the data integrity of the mobile charging system software, controlling, via the application, the mobile charging system to prevent electrical energy provision to the user device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the mobile charging system to provide electrical energy to the user device comprises providing an unlimited amount of electrical energy for a predetermined period of time.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising collecting a mobile charging system use history for a user account.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the mobile charging system use history indicates a user preference for a type of venue, and wherein directing the user to the venue is based on the user preference.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising controlling, via the application, the mobile charging system to provide Internet access to the user device, wherein the mobile charging system comprises a communication system.
