Content amplification system and method
First Claim
1. A digital content conference sharing system comprising:
- a first large common emissive surface arranged for viewing by users within a conference space;
a first conference table assembly located in the conference space and including at least a first worksurface member and a plurality of indicator devices that form a plurality of user stations including at least first and second user stations, the first and second user stations including first and second station worksurfaces and first and second indicator devices spatially associated with the first and second worksurfaces, the first indicator device controllable to indicate at least first and second visually distinct states, the second indicator device controllable to indicate at least the first visually distinct state and a third visually distinct state that is distinct from the first and second states;
a processor programmed to perform the steps of;
(i) while a source device is associated with the first station and capable of sharing but is not sharing content on the common emissive surface, controlling the first indicator to indicate the first state;
(ii) while a source device is associated with the second station and capable of sharing but is not sharing content on the common emissive surface, controlling the second indicator to indicate the first state;
(iii) while a source device is associated with the first station and is sharing content on the common emissive surface, controlling the first indicator to indicate the second state; and
(iv) while a source device is associated with the second station and is sharing content on the common emissive surface, controlling the second indicator to indicate the third state.

Abstract
A digital content conference sharing system comprising a first large common emissive surface arranged for viewing by users within a conference space, a first conference table assembly located in the conference space and including at least a first worksurface member and at least first and second user stations including first and second station worksurfaces and first and second indicator devices, the first indicator device controllable to indicate at least first and second visually distinct states, the second indicator device controllable to indicate at least the first visually distinct state and a third visually distinct state that is distinct from the first and second states, a processor programmed to perform the steps of, while a source device is associated with the first station or the second station and capable of sharing but is not sharing content on the common emissive surface, controlling the first and second indicators to indicate the first state, respectively and, while a source device is associated with the first station and the second station and is sharing content on the common emissive surface, controlling the first indicator to indicate the second state and the second indicator to indicate the third state, respectively.
