Patent ID: 7579711

Claim:
A system for configuring power comprising: a power system comprising: at least one connector configured to convey alternating current (AC) power and selected from a group consisting of a line-cord and a plug; a plurality of direct current (DC) receptacles; a communication system configured to receive a communication comprising configuration data that, when processed, identifies at least one selected DC power level; an AC to DC regulator configured to convert AC power to DC power; at least one DC to DC regulator configured to receive the DC power from the AC to DC regulator, to dynamically convert the DC power to the selected DC power level, and to generate the DC power at the selected DC power level for at least one DC receptacle, the selected DC power level not initially preset; and a processor configured to process the communication and, in response thereto, to determine the selected DC power level based on the configuration data, to dynamically configure the at least one DC to DC regulator to dynamically convert the DC power to the selected DC power level, and to enable generating the DC power at the selected DC power level to the at least one DC receptacle; and a user interface configured to generate the communication with the configuration data.
