Abstract: A system and method establishing control of affordances at a workstation. The method includes the steps of storing affordance preferences in a database for a plurality of portable affordance settings that may be present at a workstation, detecting a subset of affordances present within a first zone associated with the workstation, for each detected affordance in the subset, identifying an affordance setting in the database indicating a user preference, and automatically controlling settings of at least each of the detected affordances in the subset to match the user preferences for the detected affordances.

Abstract: A system and methods including workstations for use in office spaces where the workstations include electrical couplers and power distribution systems for coupling portable and rechargeable batteries to the arrangements and delivering electrical charge to affordance devices where battery charging stations are located at different locations throughout a facility and alerts including nearest charging station with fully charged batteries are provided to employees at the stations when battery depletion thresholds are met or where batteries are automatically delivered to facility locations via automated robotic carts when needed.

Abstract: A method and system for anonymously associating a workstation user's station control preferences with a workstation, the method comprising the steps of correlating anonymous user IDs with user preference sets in a database, obtaining input from a user at a workstation, comparing the user input to the anonymous user IDs to distinguish one distinguished user from other users without determining the identity of the user, accessing the user preference set associated with the distinguished user and controlling workstation affordances per the accessed user preferences while the user is located within a present zone proximate the workstation.
