Patent number: 9277056Abstract: A cable management hub for use in providing an interface between one or more pieces of audio-visual presentation equipment and a laptop. The cable management hub comprises a first portion that includes one or more cables that mate with respective cables from the laptop. The cable management hub further includes one or more buttons, each of which is configured to generate an electrical signal when pressed by a user that indicates a desire by the user to transfer control of the audio-visual presentation equipment from a previous user, if one exists, to the user that pressed the button. If no one had control, then the user that presses the button would gain control of the audio-visual equipment. The cable management hub further includes one or more illuminated indicators configured to illuminate in a manner indicative of a received status condition signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Crestron Electronics Inc.Inventors: Toine Leerentveld, Daniel Jackson, Josh Stene, Fred Bargetzi
