Claim 19:
20. The device of claim 1, wherein the electrical circuit of the outlet faceplate comprises one or more of:
first electrical routing to provide the alternating current from the respective electrical contacts to the AC input;
second electrical routing from the DC output to a retractable cord;
third electrical routing from the DC output to a battery;
a wireless network antenna to provide one or more of: external connectivity, external monitoring, external control and external programming, two-multi-way communication;
one or more of a controller and a microcontroller unit (MCU) configured for one or more of: internal device monitoring; internal and external power amplitude monitoring and modulation; internal power switching; and internal device control;
a routing circuit configured to prevent power from the DC output from being routed to at least one electrical connector when no respective external device is connected thereto, such that, when a single external device is connected to a single electrical connector, and no additional external devices are connected to other electrical connectors, the power from the DC output is routed to the single electrical connector only;
a load monitor for at least one electrical connector to firstly provide power to the at least one electrical connector from onboard battery power storage and secondly provide the power to the at least one electrical connector from the AC-to-DC power supply;
a battery monitor and charger wherein the MCU monitors and charges the onboard battery power storage when the MCU determines available power storage capacity within the battery; and
a DC-to-DC booster circuit to maintain output voltage.
