Abstract
An device bracket for mounting devices to a flat panel display incorporates a device hub able to form a network with devices coupled to it where the device hub associates one or more physical characteristics to devices coupled to it, including locality, orientation and position relative to the device hub. The device hub is conveys data indicating these physical characteristics associated with these devices to one or more of the devices coupled to it, thereby either enabling the devices with those physical characteristics to modify the manner in which they perform their own functions in response to those physical characteristics, or enabling other devices to modify data that they exchange with the devices having those physical characteristics in response to those physical characteristics.
