Claim:
1. A method for optimizing wireless charging comprising: identifying, by a charging controller, charging apparatus location information associated with a wireless charging apparatus configured to direct charging beams; identifying, by the charging controller, an optimal charging zone of the wireless charging apparatus based at least in part on the charging apparatus location information; receiving, by the charging controller, a first location information associated with a mobile device; determining, by the charging controller, a first proximity of the mobile device to the optimal charging zone of the wireless charging apparatus based at least in part on the first location information; and transmitting, by the charging controller, first optimal charging indicator information to the mobile device, the first optimal charging indicator information based at least in part on the first proximity, wherein the first optimal charging indicator information comprises proximity information associated with the first proximity of the mobile device, the proximity information comprising a distance between the mobile device and an outer boundary of the optimal charging zone; and directing, by the charging controller, the wireless charging apparatus to shape the charging beams directed by the wireless charging apparatus based at least in part on the optimal charging zone.
