[0004] Embodiments of the present invention address these and/or
other needs by providing an innovative system, method and computer
program product for triggering of living option resource
allocation. In some embodiments, the invention provides a system
for triggering of living option resource allocation. As such, the
system may provide calculators for purchasing compared to renting
of a home. The system may be interconnected to market analysis
devices in the area of the system via a secure network generated by
the system device. The system may extract, via the interconnection
on the secure network market analysis for an area, home trends,
comparison home prices, and the like. The system extracts the data
in real-time and runs a comparison of the data to a user's budged
and expenditures to present a recommendation of a rental or a
purchase of a home. The comparison constantly changes based on the
data extracted and data extracted about the user, such as financial
data, budged data, expenditures, credit, or the like from third
party sources via a secure network connection or hardline
connection generated by the system device for expedited data
extraction and communication. In some embodiments, upon selection
of a home purchase, the system may generate an expected rental
price the user can expect to receive for renting out his/her home.
The expected rental is based on a systematic review of rental
comparable homes in the area. The system may generate the listing
for the rental and incorporate the listing onto a third party web
site, such as a realtor site, rental site, or the like. The system
extends for implementation to aging users and users purchasing a
second home. With respect to aging individuals, the system may
track the user's budget and expenditures and provide the user with
a timeline for retirement and/or downsizing into retirement to
ensure financial stability. With respect to users purchasing a
second home, the system may track rental trends and options for the
times the user is not at the second home and determine total costs
for the home. The system may generate rental postings for the
second home for the time frames the user is not using the home. The
system may manage and predict expenses associated with all various
outcomes. Furthermore, the system may also provide a notification
system when the user may be able to provide information to the
system and the system may track local markets, interest rates, and
the like to identify a trigger on when to implement the options. In
yet other embodiments, the system may identify potential
renovations to a user's home, including the addition of bedrooms or
bathrooms, and the system may calculate changes in rent available
comparative to the cost of the renovation with an indication of the
break even period for the renovation.

in which some, but not all, embodiments of the invention are shown.
Indeed, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and
should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth
herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this
disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers
refer to elements throughout. Where possible, any terms expressed
in the singular form herein are meant to also include the plural
form and vice versa, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as
used herein, the term "a" and/or "an" shall mean "one or more,"
even though the phrase "one or more" is also used herein.
[0018] An "account" is the relationship that a user has with an
entity, such as a financial institution. Examples of accounts
include a deposit account, such as a transactional account (e.g., a
banking account), a savings account, an investment account, a money
market account, a time deposit, a demand deposit, a pre-paid
account, a credit account, a non-monetary user profile that
includes information associated with the user, or the like. The
account is associated with and/or maintained by the entity.
"Assets" include accounts of the user and/or other property owned
by the user. The assets may be associated with accounts or may be
property that is not associated with a specific account. Examples
of assets associated with accounts may be accounts that have cash
or cash equivalents, or accounts that are funded with or contain
property, such as safety despots box account that jewelry, a trust
account that is funded with property, or the like. Examples of
assets that may not be associated with accounts may be antiques in
a user's home, jewelry in a user's home, or the like.
"Authentication information" is any information that can be used to
identify of a user. For example, a system may prompt a user to
enter authentication information such as a username, a password, a
personal identification number (PIN), a passcode, biometric
information (e.g., voice authentication, a fingerprint, and/or a
retina scan), an answer to a security question, a unique intrinsic
user activity, such as making a predefined motion with a user
device. This authentication information may be used to authenticate
the identity of the user (e.g., determine that the authentication
information is associated with the account) and determine that the
user has authority to access an account or system. An "entity" as
used herein may be a financial institution. For the purposes of
this invention, a "financial institution" may be defined as any
organization, entity, or the like in the business of moving,
investing, or lending money, dealing in financial instruments, or
providing financial services. This may include commercial banks,
thrifts, federal and state savings banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, investment companies, insurance
companies and the like. In some embodiments, the entity may allow a
user to establish an account with the entity. A "financial
institution" is any organization, entity, or the like in the
business of moving, investing, or lending money, dealing in
financial instruments, or providing financial services. This may
include commercial banks, thrifts, federal and state savings banks,
savings and loan associations, credit unions, investment companies,
insurance companies and the like. A "financial event" or "life
event" may be any immediate or future event that causes a change in
a user's financial status. A financial event may be a charge, a
transaction, and exchange, or the like that may cause the user to
lose or gain money and/or assets. Examples of financial events or
life events include a medical expense, buying a house, college
tuition, rent, and the like. To "monitor" is to watch, observe, or
check something for a special purpose over a period of time. The
"monitoring" may occur periodically over the period of time, or the
monitoring may occur continuously over the period of time. In some
embodiments, a system may actively monitor a database, wherein the
system reaches out to the database and watches, observes, or checks
the database for changes, updates, and the like. In other
embodiments, a system may passively monitor a database, wherein the
database provides information to the system and the system then
watches, observes, or checks the provided information. A
"transaction" refers to any communication between a user and the
financial institution or other entity monitoring the user's
activities. For example, a transaction may refer to a purchase of
goods or services, a return of goods or services, a payment
transaction, a credit transaction, or other interaction involving a
user's account. In the context of a financial institution, a
transaction may refer to one or more of: a sale of goods and/or
services, initiating an automated teller machine (ATM) or online
banking session, an account balance inquiry, a rewards transfer, an
account money transfer or withdrawal, opening a bank application on
a user's computer or mobile device, a user accessing their
e-wallet, or any other interaction involving the user and/or the
user's device that is detectable by the financial institution. A
transaction may include one or more of the following: renting,
selling, and/or leasing goods and/or services (e.g., groceries,
stamps, tickets, DVDs, vending machine items, and the like); making
payments to creditors (e.g., paying monthly bills; paying federal,
state, and/or local taxes; and the like); sending remittances;
loading money onto stored value cards (SVCs) and/or prepaid cards;
donating to charities; and/or the like. A "user" may be a financial
institution customer (e.g., an account holder or a person who have
an account (e.g., banking account, credit account, or the like)).
In one aspect, a user may be any financial institution customer
involved in retirement planning with the financial institution or
any other affiliate entities associated with the financial
institution. In some embodiments, the user may be an individual who
may be interested in opening an account with the financial
institution. In some other embodiments, a user may be any
individual who may be interested in enrolling in the retirement
plan offered by the financial institution. In some embodiments, a
"user" may be a financial institution employee (e.g., an
underwriter, a project manager, an IT specialist, a manager, an
administrator, an internal operations analyst, bank teller or the
like) capable of operating the system described herein. For
purposes of this invention, the term "user" and "customer" may be
used interchangeably. A "user interface" is any device or software
that allows a user to input information, such as commands or data,
into a device, or that allows the device to output information to
the user. For example, the user interface include a graphical user
interface (GUI) or an interface to input computer-executable
instructions that direct a processing device to carry out specific
functions. The user interface typically employs certain input and
output devices to input data received from a user second user or
output data to a user. These input and output devices may include a
display, mouse, keyboard, button, touchpad, touch screen,
microphone, speaker, LED, light, joystick, switch, buzzer, bell,
and/or other user input/output device for communicating with one or
more users. Finally, the terms house, home, or property may refer
to one or more real-estate or parcels of land.
[0019] Embodiments of the present invention address these and/or
other needs by providing an innovative system, method and computer
program product for triggering of living option resource
allocation. In this way, the system extracts market analysis for an
area, home trends, and the like. The system may then run a
comparison of this data to a user's budget and expenditures to
present a recommendation of a rental or a purchase of a home. Along
with this, upon selection of a home purchase, the system may
generate an expected rental price the user can expect to receive
for renting out his/her home. This is based on a review of rentals
in the area. The system may generate a listing and incorporate the
listing onto travel or rental internet sites. The system extends
for implementation to pre-retirees and user's thinking of
purchasing a second home. With respect to the pre-retirees, the
system may track the user's budget and expenditures and provide the
user with a timeline for retirement and/or downsizing into
retirement to ensure financial stability. With respect to the user
purchasing the second home, the system may track rental trends and
options for times the user isn't at the second home and determine
total costs for the home. The system may generate rental postings
for the second home for the time frames the user is not there. The
system may manage and predict expenses associated with all various
outcomes. Furthermore, the system may also provide a notification
system where the user may be able to provide information to the
system and the system may track local markets, interest rates, and
the like to identify a trigger on when to implement the
options.
[0020] Referring now to FIG. 1, the figure illustrates a processing
system environment 100, in accordance with some embodiments of the

user device 111. For example, in some embodiments, the application
120 is stored and configured for being accessed by a processing
device of one or more third party systems 192 connected to the
network 130. In various embodiments, the applications 120, 121,
150, 151, and 170 stored and executed by different systems/devices
are different. In some embodiments, the applications 120, 121, 150,
151, and 170 stored and executed by different systems may be
similar and may be configured to communicate with one another, and
in some embodiments, the applications 120, 121, 150, 151, and 170
may be considered to be working together as a singular application
despite being stored and executed on different systems.
[0030] In various embodiments, one of the systems discussed above,
such as the financial institution system 140, is more than one
system and the various components of the system are not collocated,
and in various embodiments, there are multiple components
performing the functions indicated herein as a single device. For
example, in one embodiment, multiple processing devices perform the
functions of the processing device 144 of the financial institution

manually, may perform one or more of the steps of one or more of
the method discussed herein, or other methods, processes or steps
discussed herein or not discussed herein.
[0032] Embodiments of the invention provide calculators to assist
customers in making home buying versus home renting decisions. The
system, in some embodiments, extracts market analysis data for a
particular geographic area, home market trends and other data and
runs a comparison of the data to a user's budget and expenditures.
Then, the system presents a recommendation of whether the customer
should purchase or rent a home. In addition, once a customer has
chosen to purchase a home rather than rent a home, the system may
generate an expected rental price the user can expect to receive
for renting out the home. Such a determination may be based on a
review of rental prices within a geographic area of the home. The
system may generate a rental listing and make the listing available
through a third party website or otherwise.
[0033] In some embodiments, the system provides benefits for
pre-retirees and those considering the purchase of a second home.
Regarding pre-retirees, the system, in some embodiments, tracks the
user's budget and expenditures and provides the customer with a
timeline for retirement and/or downsizing into retirement to ensure
financial stability. The system may also adjust the timeline and
the information it provides to the user given changes in the user's
spending and/or saving habits or other changes in the user's
financial situation.
[0034] Regarding those customers considering purchasing a second
home, the system may track rental trends and options for times the
user does not plan to be residing at the second home. The system
may then determine the total costs for the second home, and
generate rental postings for the second home for the timeframes the
customer is not planning to be residing there. In some cases, the
system may apply an expected occupancy factor to the net rental
cash flow in order to more accurately represent the cash flow for
the rental home over a long term period. In short, the system may
manage and predict expenses associated with all possible
outcomes.
[0035] Additionally, the system may provide a notification system
where the user may be able to provide information to the system and
the system may track local markets, interest rates, and the like to
identify a trigger on when to implement the various options.
[0036] FIG. 2 illustrates a high level process flow for triggering
of living option resource allocation according to some embodiments
of the invention. The first step, as represented by block 202, is
to determine a user is interested in a home purchase or a home
rental. This may be done by analyzing financial data available to a
financial institution that manages one or more of the user's
accounts. The system may determine market analysis for an area,
home trends and the like and run a comparison of the expected user
budgets between the home purchase and the home rental. The user may
input various information in order to hone the compared budgets for
two or more a prospective home purchase budget(s) and/or
prospective home rental budget(s). In some cases, purchase/rental
specific information is applied to the varying budgets, such as
retrieving and applying an average rental insurance policy premium
for rental home budgets and an average homeowners insurance policy
premium and property tax information for homeownership budgets.
[0037] In some cases, the user decides to proceed with a home
purchase. The next step, as represented by block 204, is to
identify one or more trigger events associated with the user, which
includes determining that the user has decided to move forward with
a home purchase as opposed to a home rental. This decision, in some
embodiments, may be confirmed by the user inputting confirmation to
a user device or otherwise. The triggering events may also include
one or more other triggers, such as the user indicating that the
user wants to proceed with one or more actions or features provided
by the system, the user saving a threshold amount of money, the
user spending a threshold amount of money, the user opening a new
account, the user closing an account, or others. The next step, in
some embodiments, is to identify a candidate house for purchase.
This may be done by receiving input from the user or may be
performed by the system based on the information available to the
system regarding desired geographic area and a price point the
system estimates is feasible for the user. In other embodiments,
the user inputs some criteria (e.g., square footage, bedrooms,
bathrooms, style, location, etc.) and the system finds one or more
houses that meet the user's criteria. In cases where multiple
houses are identified, the system may proceed with more than one
candidate house and present results to the user for consideration
or may ask the user to narrow the field of candidate houses before
proceeding.
[0038] The next step, as represented by block 206, is to determine
a rental home budget associated with the candidate house. This may
be done, in part, by determining the expected rental income for the
candidate hour and determining the expected expenses for the
candidate house. These numbers may be combined in order to
determine a net cash flow for the candidate house during months
when the user does not plan to occupy the house. In some cases, the
expected occupancy of the house (e.g., in the form of a percentage
estimate of occupancy versus vacancy) is applied to the income in
order to provide a more accurate long term expectation for
potential net cash flow for the rental house.
[0039] In some embodiments, the system may identify potential
renovations to a user's home, including the addition of bedrooms or
bathrooms, and the system may calculate changes in rent available
comparative to the cost of the renovation with an indication of the
break even period for the renovation.
[0040] The next step, as represented by block 208, is to initiate
one or more resource allocation actions. This may be done in
response to the one or more triggering events discussed with
reference to step 204 and/or one or more additional or different
triggering events. For example, prior to initiating a resource
allocation action, the system may receive user input indicating a
desire to perform a resource allocation action. A resource
allocation action may include automatic transfers of funds into a
savings account earmarked (or having the intended purpose for)
providing a down payment on the candidate house. In this regard,
the system may estimate how long it will be until the user has
saved enough funds to purchase the house. Also, the system may
provide estimates of how much sooner the user may purchase the
house if the user changes certain habits or saves additional money
for the purchase.
[0041] In some embodiments, the system may track local markets,
interest rates and other information in order to identify a trigger
for when the user should implement an action or option. For
example, the system may track interest rates and provide
information to a user interested in purchasing a home so that the
user may make an educated decision regarding when to move forward
with a mortgage application and home purchase. Similarly, the
system may provide information intended to assist the user in an
optimal rental price and time for a rental listing to be posted so
that the user may maximize rental income, expedite finding a renter
and/or achieve other goals or some combination of goals.
[0042] FIG. 3 provides a process flow illustrating a triggering of
living option resource allocations and generation of
recommendations 300, in accordance with one embodiment of the
present invention. The user may desire to purchase a home. The user
may select one or more geographic locations for the home, sizes of
the home, and other filters for the home purchase. As illustrated
in block 302, the process 300 is initiated by the system generating
an interconnection, via a generated secure network, with market
analysis devices and market distributor devices. In this way, the
system may connect with market analysis devices that analyze the
market, such as a housing market, including available homes,
amenities, square footage, prices, locations, and the like.
Furthermore the market distributor devices may provide listings of
homes or property for sale in an area and distribute those listings
to external third party websites for public dissemination.
[0043] Next, once the secure interconnection with market analysis
devices and market distributor devices is made, the process 300
continues by extracting, via the generated interconnection,
geographic location based market analysis as illustrated in block
304. In this way, the system may tailor the market analysis devices
and market distributor devices that are in the same geographic
location that the user is looking to purchase a home. As such, the
system may narrow down the extracted market analysis into a
specific geographic location where the user is looking to purchase
a home. The location may be a city, neighborhood, county, road,
radius, or the like. As such, the system may extract and compile
the market analysis data for a specific geographic location desired
by the user.
[0044] As illustrated in block 306, the system may integrate and
compare the extracted data to user resource availability for
allocation. In this way, the system may integrate the extracted
market data about homes in the user's area into the user's
financial data. The integration may occur via the system and be
generated into an integrated overlay map onto a user system. The
integrated overlay map may illustrate a location of homes in the
user's desired area via a map that the user is eligible to
purchase, based on the user's financial data. The system may
further secure a pre-approval that will satisfy each of the homes
overlaid on the map, such that the user knows that each home is one
he/she is approved for purchasing.
[0045] Next, as illustrated in block 308, the process continues by
presenting the recommendations of houses within the area via a
securely generated interconnection based on the integration. In
this way, the system may generate the overlay map with the houses
that are identified as ones within the area selected by the user
and identified as available for the user based on review of the
extracted user resource availability for allocation to the house.
Furthermore, the generated interactive map may constantly change
based on user selections and reviews of houses, user financial
changes, or the like. As such, if a user is changing a geographical
location, a style of home, a type of home, or a size of home based
on a review of user houses selected and third party sources, the
system may adapt the presentation of the recommended houses.
[0046] As such, the system may extract, via the interconnection on
the secure network market analysis for an area, home trends,
comparison home prices, and the like. The system extracts the data
in real-time and runs a comparison of the data to a user's budged
and expenditures to present a recommendation of a purchase of a
home. The comparison constantly changes based on the data extracted
and data extracted about the user, such as financial data, budged
data, expenditures, credit, or the like from third party sources
via a secure network connection or hardline connection generated by
the system device for expedited data extraction and
communication.
[0047] In some embodiments, the process 300 may be utilized for a
primary home purchase. In other embodiments, the process 300 may be
utilized for a vacation or rental home purchase. In this way, the
system may generate and present recommendations for the user for
home purchases via an interactive overlay map and further integrate
a rental calculation for renting out the home for a period of time
each year. As such, the system may provide additional homes the
user may qualify for based on the generation of rental income the
home may provide. With respect to users purchasing a second home,
the system may track rental trends and options for the times the
user is not at the second home and determine total costs for the
home. The system may generate rental postings for the second home
for the time frames the user is not using the home. The system may
manage and predict expenses associated with all various outcomes.
Furthermore, the system may also provide a notification system when
the user may be able to provide information to the system and the
system may track local markets, interest rates, and the like to
identify a trigger on when to implement the options. In yet other
embodiments, the system may identify potential renovations to a
user's home, including the addition of bedrooms or bathrooms, and
the system may calculate changes in rent available comparative to
the cost of the renovation with an indication of the break even
period for the renovation.
[0048] FIG. 4 provides a process flow illustrating a triggering of
living option resource allocations and generation of listing 400,
in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4
illustrates the system connectivity for determination of a rental
value for a property already owned by the user. In other
embodiments, FIG. 4 illustrates a determination of a rental value
for property potentially purchased by the user.
[0049] The process 400 is initiated by interconnecting using a
generated secure network to market analysis devices and market
distributor devices, as illustrated in block 402. In some
embodiments market analysis devices may be servers or systems that
run real-estate websites that include house listings, house prices,
and the like. In other embodiments, market analysis devices may be
servers or systems associated with property tax, rental
evaluations, sold homes, or the like for a given area. In some
embodiments, market distributor devices include devices associated
with real-estate brokers or the like that include information about
one or more properties for sale, potential sale, sold properties,
prices, comparable properties, home statistics, property
statistics, and the like.
[0050] Next, as illustrated in block 404, the process 400 continues
by extracting, via the interconnection, geographic location based
market analysis. In this way, the system may identify where the
user's property is located and/or where the user desires to
purchase property. Subsequently, the system may identify one or
more market analysis devices associated with that area and extract
market analysis data from the area. The market analysis data in
this instance includes prices of purchases in the area, rental
prices in the area, and the like.
[0051] Next, as illustrated in block 406, the process 400 continues
by comparing comparable properties within the geographic area of
the user's property. As such, the system may generate comparable
properties similar to the user's property. The similarities may be
in size, quality, number of rooms, location, amenities, or the
like. Using these comparable properties, the system may push
information about the user's property to market distributor devices
in order to determine a potential rental opportunity for the user's
property or part of the user's property. Using the comparable and
communicating with the market distributor devices, the system may
determine and generate a rental amount for the user's property
relative to the comparable properties and approved by the market
distributor devices.
[0052] As illustrated in block 408, the process continues by
presenting the possible rental opportunities for one or more areas
within the user's property to the user via a user mobile device
application. In some embodiments, the system may provide a possible
rental opportunity for the user's entire property. In other
embodiments, the system may provide a possible rental opportunity
for a part of the user's property. The use may select and/or
approve the possible rental opportunity.
[0053] Upon selection of the rental opportunity, the system may
generate a listing for at least a portion of the user's property
for a rental opportunity and request authorization for transmission
of the listing, as illustrated in block 410. In this way, the
system may generate a listing, input photos, generate the pricing,
generate the description, and generate the requirements for renting
the property. In some embodiments, the system may extract photos
from the user device, user social media, or the like to populate
the listing. The system generates this as a listing and provides it
to the user for review and revisions. Upon approval, the listing is
pushed to third party websites for posting the property for
rent.
[0054] In some embodiments of the invention one or more of the
systems described herein may be combined with each other, or
otherwise perform the functions of the other systems described
herein. In other embodiments of the invention one or more of the
applications described herein may be combined with each other, or
otherwise perform the functions of the other applications described
herein. Furthermore, the applications may be any type of
application, such as an application stored on a desktop, server, or
other device, a mobile application stored on a mobile device, a
cloud application, or other like application. As such, the
applications described herein, or portions of the applications
described herein may be stored and operated on any of the systems
or devices described herein. For example, a portion of one or more
applications may be stored on the user device, or may be included
as a portion of financial institution applications, such as an
online banking application, in order to achieve embodiments of the
inventions described herein.
[0055] It should be understood, that the systems and devices
described in FIG. 1, or other devices not specifically described
herein, may be configured to establish a communication link with
each other in order to accomplish the steps of the processes
described herein. The link may be an internal link within the same
entity (e.g., within the same financial institution or device
provider) or a link with the other systems of entities (e.g.,
social networking systems, third-party systems, or the like). In
some embodiments, the systems may be configured for monitoring the
applications and devices that the system(s) utilize as data
sources. The information received from monitoring may be provided
via wireless network path portions through the Internet. When the
systems or devices are not monitoring a source or are not being
monitoring, the information need not be transmitted from the source
through the Internet to the destination, although it could be. The
sources of information may be made continuously available, however,
continuously available does not necessarily mean that the sources
actually continuously generates data, but that a source is
continuously available to generate and send data real-time (e.g.,
instantaneously and/or within a few seconds, or the like) of
receiving a request for it. In any case, the sources may be
continuously available to receive and/or generate information, in
some cases in digitized data in Internet Protocol (IP) packet
format. In response to continuously monitoring the real-time data
feeds from the various systems or devices, the system may be
configured to provide target information to the user and/or allow
the user to make changes to or control the applications and/or
devices.
[0056] Moreover, it should be understood that the process flows
described herein include transforming the information sent and/or
received from the applications of the different systems (e.g.,
internally or externally) and/or the devices from one or more data
formats into a data format associated with an application for
display to the user on the user device. There are many ways in
which information is converted within the system environment. This
may be seamless, as in the case of upgrading to a newer version of
a computer program. Alternatively, the conversion may require
processing by the use of a special conversion program, or it may
involve a complex process of going through intermediary stages, or
involving complex "exporting" and "importing" procedures, which may
converting to and from a tab-delimited or comma-separated text
file. In some cases, a program may recognize several data file
formats at the data input stage and then is also capable of storing
the output data in a number of different formats. Such a program
may be used to convert a file format. If the source format or
target format is not recognized, then at times a third program may
be available which permits the conversion to an intermediate
format, which can then be reformatted.
[0057] As will be appreciated by one of skill in the art, the
present invention may be embodied as a method (including, for
example, a computer-implemented process, a business process, and/or
any other process), apparatus (including, for example, a system,

[0062] These computer-executable program code portions may also be
stored in a computer-readable memory that can direct a computer or
other programmable data processing apparatus to function in a
particular manner, such that the code portions stored in the
computer readable memory produce an article of manufacture
including instruction mechanisms which implement the function/act
specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block(s).
[0063] The computer-executable program code may also be loaded onto
a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to cause
a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer or
other programmable apparatus to produce a computer-implemented
process such that the code portions which execute on the computer
or other programmable apparatus provide steps for implementing the
functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram
block(s). Alternatively, computer program implemented steps or acts
may be combined with operator or human implemented steps or acts in
order to carry out an embodiment of the invention.
[0064] As the phrase is used herein, a processor may be "configured
to" perform a certain function in a variety of ways, including, for
example, by having one or more general-purpose circuits perform the
function by executing particular computer-executable program code
embodied in computer-readable medium, and/or by having one or more
application-specific circuits perform the function.
[0065] Embodiments of the present invention are described above
with reference to flowcharts and/or block diagrams. It will be
understood that steps of the processes described herein may be
performed in orders different than those illustrated in the
flowcharts. In other words, the processes represented by the blocks
of a flowchart may, in some embodiments, be in performed in an
order other that the order illustrated, may be combined or divided,
or may be performed simultaneously. It will also be understood that
the blocks of the block diagrams illustrated, in some embodiments,
merely conceptual delineations between systems and one or more of
the systems illustrated by a block in the block diagrams may be
combined or share hardware and/or software with another one or more
of the systems illustrated by a block in the block diagrams.
Likewise, a device, system, apparatus, and/or the like may be made
up of one or more devices, systems, apparatuses, and/or the like.
For example, where a processor is illustrated or described herein,
the processor may be made up of a plurality of microprocessors or
other processing devices which may or may not be coupled to one
another. Likewise, where a memory is illustrated or described
herein, the memory may be made up of a plurality of memory devices
which may or may not be coupled to one another.
[0066] While certain exemplary embodiments have been described and
shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that
such embodiments are merely illustrative of, and not restrictive
on, the broad invention, and that this invention not be limited to
the specific constructions and arrangements shown and described,
since various other changes, combinations, omissions, modifications
and substitutions, in addition to those set forth in the above
paragraphs, are possible. Those skilled in the art will appreciate
that various adaptations and modifications of the just described
embodiments can be configured without departing from the scope and
spirit of the invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that,
within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be
practiced other than as specifically described herein.
