1. A method comprising:
- by a control server;
receiving from a location server an indication of a detection by the location server of a user within a meeting room among multiple meeting rooms, the meeting room including a plurality of controllable components which include a video conference endpoint to establish audiovisual collaboration sessions with other video conference endpoints, and other controllable components that are not the video conference endpoint;
requesting, from a management server configured to monitor and store information about respective pluralities of controllable components in respective ones of the multiple meeting rooms, information about the plurality of controllable components within the meeting room, wherein the management server is configured to communicate with one or more building control servers that communicate with the meeting room to acquire the information about the plurality of controllable components within the meeting room;
configuring a personal meeting room control panel of the user based on the information about the plurality of controllable components including the video conference endpoint and the other controllable components within the meeting room;
acquiring from a meeting server information for a meeting in the meeting room, wherein the information indicates participants, the meeting room, and a type of meeting that indicates the meeting is a video conference meeting;
responsive to the detection of the user in the meeting room, sending the information to, and acquiring a room setup for the meeting room from, a setting server that stores respective room setups for respective ones of the multiple meeting rooms;
pre-configuring the video conference endpoint and the other controllable components within the meeting room for the video conference meeting according to the room setup; and
sending a signal to the control server that indicates states of the video conference endpoint and the other controllable components have changed.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a server configured to dynamically configure a personal control panel receives an indication of a detection of a user within a meeting room, where the meeting room includes a plurality of controllable components. The server then requests information about the plurality of controllable components within the meeting room. The server configures the personal meeting room control panel of the user based on the information about the plurality of controllable components within the meeting room.
