Question Kinect Boolean Programming

I've been working on the programming for our Hybrid/Autonomous mode and I have one important problem to solve...

At the competitions alliance teams must "choose" which member of the alliance will use the Kinect during the Hybrid Period. If you are the team to be selected, you would place the USB at the operating console into your laptop to activate the Field Kinect from the Kinect Station.

So here's my question:

How would you be able to detect in Labview (and Java) if the USB for the field Kinect is in the laptop or not. I believe it is similar to the Boolean involved in detecting if a button on a controller is pushed or not, but its not in my certainty to guess....
