FURNITURE SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED DISPLAY AND LOW-VOLTAGE CONNECTIVITY
First Claim
1. An integrated media presentation furniture system comprising:
- a furniture structure configured to support at least one low-voltage media device thereon or therein;
an electrical conduit supported within said furniture structure;
a driver assembly housed within said electrical conduit, wherein said driver assembly comprises;
an input interface configured to;
receive a source of low-voltage power; and
receive one or more media signals from an external device; and
a media processor for processing said media signals to produce low-voltage output signals formatted for said low-voltage media device; and
an output interface configured to;
output said low-voltage output signals; and
output low-voltage power suitable to power said low-voltage media device; and
connection means for connecting said low-voltage media device to said output interface of said driver assembly.

Abstract
Furniture systems are provided with integrated media presentation devices, such as a display panel, where internal connections between the media presentation devices and internal components for signal and power delivery are provided via low-voltage cables, and where the integrated media devices are connectable to an external computing or media content delivery device. In some embodiments, a mobile media access and control unit is provided that may be removably interfaced with a media presentation device in a low-voltage furniture system for displaying media content and optionally for sourcing power, where the mobile media access and control unit includes a plurality of media inputs for receiving media content from a plurality of computing devices, and a mechanism for selectively delivering media content from one of the computing devices to the media presentation device within the furniture system in response to input from a user.
