1. An ultra-rapid mobile device charging system, comprising:
a mobile tap station having a principal non-charging use of mobile payment processing of a mobile payment provided from the mobile device upon a tap of the mobile device to the mobile tap station;
a high-energy rapid charging near field circuit capable of providing a high energy field to the mobile device only during a 5-15 second time period of association of the mobile device with the mobile tap station simultaneously with, and solely for a duration of, the principal of non-charging use of the mobile payment processing, wherein the high energy field is limited in field size by the high-energy rapid charging near field circuit to extending only to approximately the physical dimensions, including depth, of the mobile device, and wherein the high energy field is limited to occurring only upon suitable placement of the mobile device in association with the mobile tap station; and
a back end processing application that limits the high energy field to a particular strength and duration dependent upon output from the proximity sensor, the principal non-charging use, and a type of the mobile device.
