A 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 one or more physical characteristics are selected to be associated with those devices. Those physical characteristics include locality based on which connector of the device hub a device is electrically coupled to, orientation of a casing of the device hub relative to a pull of gravity, and/or position of a device relative to the connector of the device hub to which the device is electrically coupled. The device hub 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. Further, where more than one of the devices are capable of forming an assembly that is capable of performing a function, still another device is falsely presented by the device hub with an indication of the presence of a single device capable of performing the function to induce the still another device to convey data to the device hub as if the device hub were that single device. |
