1. A method of configuring a wireless power transmission system, comprising: receiving, by a plurality of wireless power transmitters of the wireless power transmission system, an operating condition that must be satisfied at the respective wireless power receiver before transmission of power waves
1. A method of configuring a wireless power transmission system, comprising: receiving, by a plurality of wireless power transmitters of the wireless power transmission system, an operating condition that must be satisfied at the respective wireless power receiver before transmission of power waves by at least one of the plurality of wireless power transmitters to the respective wireless power receiver;detecting, by at least one wireless power transmitter of the plurality of wireless power transmitters, a wireless power receiver in a wireless power transmission area assigned to the at least one wireless power transmitter, wherein the wireless power transmission area is one of a plurality of wireless power transmission areas, and each respective wireless power transmission area is defined by an operator of the plurality of wireless power transmitters as an area in which the respective wireless power transmitter transmits wireless power waves to wireless power receivers located within the respective wireless power transmission area;in response to detecting the wireless power receiver, determining, by the at least one wireless power transmitter, whether a current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition for transmission of power waves; andin accordance with a determination that the current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition for transmission of power waves, transmitting by the at least one wireless power transmitter radio frequency (RF) power waves that converge to form a constructive interference pattern in proximity to a location of the wireless power receiver within the wireless power transmission area. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: before determining whether the current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition, receiving, by the at least one wireless power transmitter of the plurality of wireless power transmitters, data from the wireless power receiver indicating the current state of the wireless power receiver,wherein determining whether the current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition is performed in response to receiving the data. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein: the operating condition is satisfied when an orientation of the wireless power receiver matches a predefined orientation; andthe data indicating the current state of the wireless power receiver indicates that an orientation of the wireless power receiver matches the predefined orientation. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: in accordance with determining that an updated state of the wireless power receiver no longer satisfies the operating condition, stopping transmission of the RF power waves by the at least one wireless power transmitter. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising: before determining that the updated state of the wireless power receiver no longer satisfies the operating condition, receiving, by the at least one wireless power transmitter of the plurality of wireless power transmitters, data from the wireless power receiver indicating the updated state of the wireless power receiver,wherein determining that the updated state of the wireless power receiver no longer satisfies the operating condition is performed in response to receiving the data. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein: the wireless power receiver is coupled to an electronic device, andthe updated state of the wireless power receiver indicates that the electronic device is being used to perform an action that violates the operating condition. 7.

A wireless power transmission system, comprising: a plurality of wireless power transmitters configured to receive an operating condition that must be satisfied at the respective wireless power receiver before transmission of power waves by at least one of the plurality of wireless power transmitters to the respective wireless power receiver, wherein: at least one wireless power transmitter of the plurality of wireless power transmitters is configured to: detect a wireless power receiver in a wireless power transmission area assigned to the at least one wireless power transmitter, wherein the wireless power transmission area is one of a plurality of wireless power transmission areas, and each respective wireless power transmission area is defined by an operator of the plurality of wireless power transmitters as an area in which the respective wireless power transmitter transmits wireless power waves to wireless power receivers located within the respective wireless power transmission area;determine whether a current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition for transmission of power waves in response to detecting the wireless power receiver; andtransmit radio frequency (RF) power waves that converge to form a constructive interference pattern in proximity to a location of the wireless power receiver within the wireless power transmission area in accordance with a determination that the current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition for transmission of power waves. 13. The wireless power transmission system of claim 12, wherein the least one wireless power transmitter is further configured to: before determining whether the current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition, receive data from the wireless power receiver indicating the current state of the wireless power receiver,wherein determining whether the current state of the wireless power receiver satisfies the operating condition is performed in response to receiving the data. 14. The wireless power transmission system of claim 13, wherein: the operating condition is satisfied when an orientation of the wireless power receiver matches a predefined orientation; andthe data indicating the current state of the wireless power receiver indicates that an orientation of the wireless power receiver matches the predefined orientation. 15. The wireless power transmission system of claim 12, wherein the least one wireless power transmitter is further configured to stop transmission of the RF power waves in accordance with determining that an updated state of the wireless power receiver no longer satisfies the operating condition. 16. The wireless power transmission system of claim 15, wherein the least one wireless power transmitter is further configured to: before determining that the updated state of the wireless power receiver no longer satisfies the operating condition, receive data from the wireless power receiver indicating the updated state of the wireless power receiver,wherein determining that the updated state of the wireless power receiver no longer satisfies the operating condition is performed in response to receiving the data. 17. The wireless power transmission system of claim 16, wherein: the wireless power receiver is coupled to an electronic device, andthe updated state of the wireless power receiver indicates that the electronic device is being used to perform an action that violates the operating condition. 18.
