Abstract
A system and method for charging of a mobile device in an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. A plurality of mobile device users and charging vehicles are registered in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. The current charge of an authenticated mobile device user is monitoring and the user is automatically alerted the authenticated user that the current charge is below a threshold set in the user's charging profile. The method includes locating registered charging vehicles parked within a preset distance range of the authenticated user and sending the parked location information to the user, automatically enabling a wireless charging connection between the authenticated user's mobile device and a parked registered charging vehicle selected by the user and automatically controlling charging the authenticated user's mobile device according to the authenticated user's charging profile and the parked registered charging vehicle's charge supply profile.
