Power socket management system

A system for power socket management, comprising:

• a computer system comprising, a processor, a computer readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium being executable by the processor to cause the computer system to:
• receive an event location registration;
• receive a user registration for each of a plurality of user devices to use a system for power socket management, wherein the plurality of user devices include a battery;
• receive a plurality of power data from the plurality of user devices;
• obtain event information for an event location, including details of the plurality of user devices required for an event;
• determine whether an apparatus, located at the event location, is required for a duration of the event;
• in response to determining that the apparatus at the event location is required, monitor a plurality of power sockets at the event location to determine whether the plurality of power sockets have an apparatus plugged in;
• process the plurality of power data for the required user devices for the event by optimizing use of power sockets at the event location;
• and
• notify each of the required user devices of the plurality of user devices of the optimized socket usage for the event, wherein the notifying includes notifying users prior to the event of recommended socket utilization, the notification including a recommendation to change the event location if too many devices that are registered for the event require charging.

A computer program product for power socket management, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• receive an event location registration;
• receive a user registration for each of a plurality of user devices;
• receive power data from a plurality of user devices;
• obtain event information for an event location, including details of the plurality of user devices required for an event;
• determine whether an apparatus, located at the event location, is required for a duration of the event;
• in response to determining that the apparatus at the event location is required, monitor a plurality of power sockets at the event location to determine whether the plurality of power sockets have the apparatus plugged in;
• process the power data for the required user devices for the event by optimizing use of the plurality of power sockets at the event location wherein the plurality of power sockets are smart power sockets;
• and
• notify each of the required user devices of the optimized socket usage for the event, wherein the notifying includes notifying users prior to the event of recommended socket utilization, the notification including a recommendation to change the event location if too many devices that are registered for the event require charging.
