Abstract

Abstract A charger device (10d) configured to supply charging power to an external electronic device is disclosed. The device includes a housing (12) supporting at least one electrical connection outlet (14), an isolation circuit disposed between an input power source and the outlet (14), a fingerprint sensor (16), and a controller programmed to authenticate fingerprint data captured by the sensor (16) against stored fingerprint data and, only upon successful authentication, enable the isolation circuit to allow electrical power to be supplied to the outlet (14). In some embodiments, the device may further include status indicators (20), a user input element, a retractable charging cable (17), and a mains plug (22) receivable in a slot (21). Optional features can include tamper detection, location tracking, and control of inward and / or outward power flow subject to biometric authorization.
