The embodiments described herein include a transmitter that transmits a power transmission signal (e.g., radio frequency (RF) signal waves) to create a three-dimensional pocket of energy. At least one receiver can be connected to or integrated into electronic devices and receive power from the pocket of energy. A wireless power network may include a plurality of wireless power transmitters each with an embedded wireless power transmitter manager, including a wireless power manager application. The wireless power network may include a plurality of client devices with wireless power receivers. Wireless power receivers may include a power receiver application configured to communicate with the wireless power manager application. The wireless power manager application may include a device database where information about the wireless power network may be stored.

1. An apparatus for wirelessly receiving power from a power transmitter, the apparatus comprising: a processor;a communication link, operatively coupled to the processor;a memory, operatively coupled to the processor; anda receiver operatively coupled to the processor, the receiver configured to wirelessly receive power from three-dimensional pockets of energy formed by power transmission signals from the power transmitter,wherein the processor is configured to determine if an identification value for the apparatus is stored in the memory, and, if no identification value is stored, generate an identification value for the apparatus,and wherein the processor is configured to transmit via the communication link one of (i) the stored identification value and (ii) the generated identification value,and wherein the receiver is configured to begin wirelessly receiving the power after the processor has transmitted the stored or generated identification value via the communication link. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the memory is a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to determine if the identification value for the apparatus is stored at a unique address in the NVRAM memory. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to generate the identification value for the apparatus by using a random number generator. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine if the identification value for the apparatus is stored in the memory during a boot-up process. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to store information regarding the power transmitter after transmitting the stored or generated identification value. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to control the receiver to begin wirelessly receiving the power from the power transmitter after the processor has transmitted the stored or generated identification value via the communication link. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one of a power receiver application, an application programming interface, and a graphical user interface. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to receive or generate one or more other identification values for at least one of the power transmitter and the graphical user interface. 10. A method for enabling receipt of wireless power in an apparatus including a processor, a memory, and a receiver, the method comprising: determining, by the processor, that an identification value for the apparatus is not stored in the memory;generating, by the processor, an identification value for the apparatus after determining that no identification value is stored; andtransmitting, by the processor, the generated identification value,wherein after transmitting the generated identification value, the receiver in the apparatus receives power from three-dimensional pockets of energy formed by power transmission signals. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the memory is a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the determining comprises determining that the identification value for the apparatus is not stored in the memory at a unique address in the NVRAM memory. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the generating comprises generating the identification value by using a random number generator. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein the determining determines that the identification value for the apparatus is not stored in the memory during a boot-up process. 15. The method of claim 10, further comprising storing information regarding one or more transmitters of the power transmission signals, in response to transmitting the stored or generated identification value. 16. An apparatus for wirelessly transmitting power, comprising: a processor;a communication link, operatively coupled to the processor;a memory, operatively coupled to the processor; anda transmitter operatively coupled to the processor, the transmitter configured to wirelessly form three-dimensional pockets of energy by transmitting power transmission signals,wherein the processor is configured to determine if an identification value for the apparatus is stored in the memory, and, if no identification value is stored, generate an identification value for the apparatus,and wherein the processor is configured to transmit via the communication link one of (i) the stored identification value and (ii) the generated identification value,and wherein the transmitter is configured to begin wirelessly transmitting power after the processor has transmitted the stored or generated identification value via the communication link. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the memory is a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to determine if the identification value for the apparatus is stored at a unique address in the NVRAM memory. 19. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to generate the identification value for the apparatus by using a random number generator. 20. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to determine if the identification value for the apparatus is stored in the memory during a boot-up process. 21. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to store information regarding one or more receivers after transmitting the stored or generated identification value. 22. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to control the transmitter to begin wirelessly transmitting the power transmission signals to form the three-dimensional pockets of energy.
