The method of claim 1, wherein the second user interface object is displayed adjacent to the first user interface object in the user interface. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device is not one of the plurality of receiving electronic devices. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein updating the wireless-power- delivery record comprises providing the updated wireless-power-delivery record to the wireless power transmitter after receiving a request from the wireless power transmitter. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein: the modification of the portion of the wireless-power-delivery record also adjusts a priority level that is used to determine when the first receiving electronic device receives wirelessly delivered power as compared to a second receiving electronic device. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification of the portion of the wireless-power-delivery record also modifies a scheduled time period when the first receiving electronic device is to receive wirelessly delivered power from the wireless power transmitter from a first time period to a second time period. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification of the portion of the wireless-power-delivery record also: (i) moves a scheduled time period for the first receiving electronic device to receive wirelessly delivered power from the wireless power transmitter from a first time period to a second time period, and (ii) adjusts a priority level of the first receiving electronic device that is used to determine when the first receiving electronic device receives wirelessly delivered power as compared to another receiving electronic device of the plurality of receiving electronic devices. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein: the receiving, displaying, detecting, and updating occur while the wireless power transmitter is transmitting EM waves to a second receiving electronic device of the plurality of receiving electronic devices. 9.
