SUMMARY

The above deficiencies and other problems associated with the conventional approach of resource transfer are reduced or eliminated by the present application disclosed below. In some embodiments, the present application is implemented in a computer server that has one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions and communicating with one or more client devices (e.g., a computer or a smartphone) that has one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. Instructions for performing these functions may be included in a computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

One aspect of the present application involves a method of conducting resource transfer uses a social networking application running on a computer server. The computer server receives a structured message from a first user terminal, the structured message including an event title, one or more recipient user accounts and respective resources requested from the recipient user accounts, and a requesting user account. For each of the recipient user accounts, the computer server sends a structured request to a respective user terminal associated with the recipient user account and receives a structured response from the respective user terminal, the structured response including the event title, the requesting user account, and an authorization of transferring a predefined amount of resource to the requesting user account. The computer server then performs a resource transfer operation between the recipient user account and the requesting user account in accordance with the predefined amount and sends structured messages to the respective user terminals. The structured message to the first user terminal indicates that a predefined amount of resource has been transferred from a respective recipient user account to the requesting user account and the structured message to the user terminal associated with the respective recipient user account indicates that the predefined amount of resource has been transferred to the requesting user account.

Another aspect of the present application involves a computer server including one or more processors, memory, one or more program modules stored in the memory and to be executed by the one or more processors. The program modules further include: receiving a structured message from a first user terminal, the structured message including an event title, one or more recipient user accounts and respective resources requested from the recipient user accounts, and a requesting user account; for each of the one or more recipient user accounts: sending a structured request to a respective user terminal associated with the recipient user account, the structured request including the event title, the requesting user account, and an amount of resource requested by the requesting user account, and one or more user-actionable items; receiving a structured response from the respective user terminal, the structured response including the event title, the requesting user account, and an authorization of transferring a predefined amount of resource to the requesting user account; and performing a resource transfer operation between the recipient user account and the requesting user account in accordance with the predefined amount; and sending structured messages to the respective user terminals, wherein the structured message to the first user terminal indicates that a predefined amount of resource has been transferred from a respective recipient user account to the requesting user account and the structured message to the user terminal associated with the respective recipient user account indicates that the predefined amount of resource has been transferred to the requesting user account.

Another aspect of the present application involves a non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores one or more program modules in connection with a computer server having one or more processors, the program modules including instructions for execution by one or more processors. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer server to perform the following instructions: receiving a structured message from a first user terminal, the structured message including an event title, one or more recipient user accounts and respective resources requested from the recipient user accounts, and a requesting user account; for each of the one or more recipient user accounts: sending a structured request to a respective user terminal associated with the recipient user account, the structured request including the event title, the requesting user account, and an amount of resource requested by the requesting user account, and one or more user-actionable items; receiving a structured response from the respective user terminal, the structured response including the event title, the requesting user account, and an authorization of transferring a predefined amount of resource to the requesting user account; and performing a resource transfer operation between the recipient user account and the requesting user account in accordance with the predefined amount; and sending structured messages to the respective user terminals, wherein the structured message to the first user terminal indicates that a predefined amount of resource has been transferred from a respective recipient user account to the requesting user account and the structured message to the user terminal associated with the respective recipient user account indicates that the predefined amount of resource has been transferred to the requesting user account.

The resources involved in data processing in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be information resources, financial resources, monetary values, virtual financial resources, virtual monetary values, transaction goods, service orders and other things available for transaction or transfer.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a flow of a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the data processing method described in this embodiment is mainly described from a data processing server side. As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing method in this embodiment may include the following steps.

S101. A data processing server receives a resource inward-transfer request submitted by a user terminal of a requesting user, wherein the resource inward-transfer request includes a user ID of at least one requested user determined by the requesting user and inwardly transferred resources corresponding to each requested user.

In specific implementation, the requesting user may set the resource inward-transfer request in a client interface of the user terminal, including a user ID of at least one requested user determined and inwardly transferred resources corresponding to each requested user, which may also include summary of content of resource inward-transfer items, for example, K song activities, FB activities, enrichment AA and the total amount, messages of a resource requesting side and the like, and upon completion of setting, the resource inward-transfer request may be submitted to the data processing server. In an alternative embodiment, the resource inward-transfer request may be submitted to the data processing server through a social application client (for example, an instant messaging client or a Social Networking Services (SNS) client) operating on the user terminal, for example, the data processing server may own a particular social application account (which, for example, may be a public number), and the requesting user may submit the resource inward-transfer request to the data processing server through a social application session with the social application account of the data processing server.

The requesting user may select at least one contact from a list of social application contacts displayed in the social application client as the requested user. Further, in an alternative embodiment, the user terminal may further send out acoustic information according to an operation that the requesting user presses down a resource inward-transfer initiate key (for example, a key of “press to initiate resource inward-transfer”), a user terminal of a requested user nearby acquires the acoustic information and then notifies the data processing server or a social application server, and the data processing server or the social application server sends user information of the user terminal acquiring the acoustic information to the user terminal of the requesting user, so that the user terminal of the requesting user may determine at least one user of the user terminal acquiring the acoustic information as the requested user. In specific implementation, the user terminal of the requesting user may invoke a built-in acoustic sounding device to send out particular acoustic information when the requesting user presses down the resource inward-transfer initiate key, the particular acoustic information may make an agreement with the data processing server or the social application server previously, or currently notify the data processing server or the social application server about the acoustic information sent out (and vice versa, that is, the user terminal of the requesting user receives acoustic information sent by the data processing server or the social application server, and invokes the acoustic sounding device to send out the acoustic information), and in the meantime, the user terminal of the requested user nearby may invoke a built-in acoustic acquisition device to acquire surrounding acoustic information when the requested user presses down a resource inward-transfer participate key (for example, a key of “press to participate in resource inward-transfer”), and report the acquired acoustic information to the data processing server or the social application server, so that the data processing server or the social application server knows users corresponding to the user terminal acquiring the acoustic information, thereby sending user information of the user terminal to the user terminal of the requesting user, letting the latter confirm a part or all of the users as requested users of the initiated resource inward-transfer request.

S102. The data processing server sends a resource inward-transfer message to a user terminal of the requested user according to the resource inward-transfer request, wherein the resource inward-transfer message includes user information of the requesting user and inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user.

In specific implementation, the data processing server may send a resource inward-transfer message to each requested user according to the user ID of the requested user in the resource inward-transfer request, and the user ID of the requested user is identification information that may uniquely determine a certain requested user, for example, a user name (unique), a social application account or the like. Exemplarily, the resource inward-transfer message may, as shown in FIG. 11, include resource inward-transfer items, activity content, the number of inwardly transferred resources, user information of the requesting user and other information.

In an alternative embodiment, the data processing server may send the resource inward-transfer message to the user terminal of the requested user through a social application session with the requested user, for example, the data processing server uses a corresponding social application account (which, for example, may be a public number), and the resource inward-transfer request is submitted to the data processing server through a social application session (for example, an instant messaging session or an SNS session) with a social application account of the requested user. The data processing server may previously acquire user information of the requesting user from the social application server according to a user ID of the requesting user, which, for example, may include a user name, user avatar information and the like, and the resource inward-transfer message may let the requested user intuitively understand which user initiates the current resource inward-transfer message, what needs resource inward-transfer due to a matter or an activity, so as to rapidly decide whether resource outward-transfer is required.

S103. The data processing server receives a resource outward-transfer request message returned by the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource inward-transfer message.

In specific implementation, after the user terminal of the requested user receives the resource inward-transfer message, the requested user may return a resource outward-transfer request message to the data processing server by clicking on a resource outward-transfer link in the resource inward-transfer message, which indicates agreeing with resource outward-transfer on the resource inward-transfer request.

In an alternative embodiment, after the user terminal of the requested user receives the resource inward-transfer message, the requested user may send a resource transfer query request to the data processing server by clicking on the resource inward-transfer message or a link of viewing resource inward-transfer details, the data processing server returns a resource outward-transfer message to the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource transfer query request, the resource outward-transfer message may include further resource outward-transfer information, for example, detailed information of the requesting user (for example, the previous resource inward-transfer message does not include a user avatar of the requesting user, and the resource outward-transfer message may include the user avatar of the requesting user), an associated resource outward-transfer account for resource inward-transfer, resource inward-transfer activity details and the like, for prompting the requested user to acknowledge whether resources are transferred to the requesting user, and when the requested user further acknowledges resource outward-transfer according to the resource outward-transfer message, for example, clicks on a key or link of “I want resource outward-transfer” in the resource outward-transfer message, the user terminal of the requested user sends the resource outward-transfer request message to the data processing server.

S104. The data processing server transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into an associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message.

In specific implementation, the data processing server may query associated accounts of the requesting user and the requested user according to user IDs of the requesting user and the requested user respectively, for example, resource outward-transfer accounts bound to the social application account, bank accounts and the like. So, the data processing server transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the associated account of the requested user into the associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message.

In an alternative embodiment, the data processing server may first transfer the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into a preset account of the data processing server according to the resource outward-transfer request message, for example, an associated account of the public number corresponding to the data processing server, and then transfer the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the preset account of the data processing server into an associated account of the requesting user.

Further, in an alternative embodiment, the data processing server may send resource outward-transfer parameter information to the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource outward-transfer request message, so that the user terminal of the requested user sends a resource outward-transfer request to a resource outward-transfer server according to the resource outward-transfer parameter information, and the resource outward-transfer server transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the associated account of the requested user into the associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request. The resource outward-transfer parameter information includes the associated account of the requested user, the associated account of the requesting user, resource transfer amount and the like. In specific implementation, after receiving the resource outward-transfer parameter information, the user terminal of the requested user may automatically invoke a resource outward-transfer interface of the social application client to send a resource outward-transfer request to a resource outward-transfer server, so that the resource outward-transfer server transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the associated account of the requested user into the associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request.

Further, in an alternative embodiment, after transferring the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into an associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message, the data processing server may further send a resource transfer success message to the user terminal of the requesting user, so as to notify the requesting user that the inwardly transferred resources of the requested user through resource outward-transfer have been received.

The data processing server in this embodiment may send a resource inward-transfer message to a designated requested user according to a resource inward-transfer request sent by a requesting user, so that the requested user may initiate resource outward-transfer according to the resource inward-transfer message, and it is unnecessary to input user account information in the resource inward-transfer process, which ensures security of the user account information, and achieves safe and efficient online resource inward-transfer.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a flow of a data processing method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, and the data processing method described in this embodiment is mainly described from three sides, a data processing server, a user terminal of a requesting user and a user terminal of a requested user.

The resource outward-transfer parameter information includes the associated account of the requested user, the associated account of the requesting user, resource transfer amount and the like. In specific implementation, after receiving the resource outward-transfer parameter information, the user terminal of the requested user may automatically invoke a resource outward-transfer interface of the social application client to send a resource outward-transfer request to a resource outward-transfer server, so that the resource outward-transfer server transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the associated account of the requested user into the associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request.

S205. After transferring the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into an associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message, the data processing server may further send a resource transfer success message to the user terminal of the requesting user, so as to notify the requesting user that the inwardly transferred resources of the requested user through resource outward-transfer have been received.

FIG. 4 is a schematic structural view of a data processing server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in FIG. 4, the data processing server 400 in this embodiment of the present disclosure may at least include:

a receiving unit 410, for receiving a resource inward-transfer request submitted by a user terminal of a requesting user, wherein the resource inward-transfer request includes a user ID of at least one requested user determined by the requesting user and inwardly transferred resources corresponding to each requested user.

In an alternative embodiment, the requesting user may submit the resource inward-transfer request to the data processing server 400 through a social application client operating on the user terminal thereof, for example, the data processing server 400 may own a particular social application account (which, for example, may be a public number), and the requesting user may submit the resource inward-transfer request to the data processing server 400 through a social application session with the social application account of the data processing server 400.

A sending unit 420 is included, for sending a resource inward-transfer message to a user terminal of the requested user according to the resource inward-transfer request, wherein the resource inward-transfer message includes user information of the requesting user and inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user.

In specific implementation, the sending unit 420 may send a resource inward-transfer message to each requested user according to the user ID of the requested user in the resource inward-transfer request, and the user ID of the requested user is identification information that may uniquely determine a certain requested user, for example, a user name (unique), a social application account or the like. Exemplarily, the resource inward-transfer message may, as shown in FIG. 11, include resource inward-transfer items, activity content, the number of inwardly transferred resources, user information of the requesting user and other information.

In an alternative embodiment, the sending unit 420 may send the resource inward-transfer message to the user terminal of the requested user through a social application session between the data processing server 400 and the requested user, for example, the data processing server uses a corresponding social application account (which, for example, may be a public number), and the resource inward-transfer request is submitted to the data processing server through a social application session (for example, an instant messaging session or an SNS session) with a social application account of the requested user. The data processing server 400 may previously acquire user information of the requesting user from the social application server according to a user ID of the requesting user, which, for example, may include a user name, user avatar information and the like, and the resource inward-transfer message may let the requested user intuitively understand which user initiates the current resource inward-transfer message, what needs resource inward-transfer due to a matter or an activity, so as to rapidly decide whether resource outward-transfer is required.

The receiving unit 410 is further used for receiving a resource outward-transfer request message returned by the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource inward-transfer message.

In specific implementation, after the user terminal of the requested user receives the resource inward-transfer message, the requested user may return a resource outward-transfer request message to the data processing server 400 by clicking on a resource outward-transfer link in the resource inward-transfer message, which indicates agreeing with resource outward-transfer on the resource inward-transfer request.

A resource transfer processing unit 430 is included, for transferring the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into an associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message.

In specific implementation, the data processing server 400 may query associated accounts of the requesting user and the requested user according to user IDs of the requesting user and the requested user respectively, for example, resource outward-transfer accounts bound to the social application account, bank accounts and the like. So, the resource transfer processing unit 430 may transfer the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the associated account of the requested user into the associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message.

In an alternative embodiment, the resource transfer processing unit 430 may first transfer the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into a preset account of the data processing server 400 according to the resource outward-transfer request message, for example, an associated account of the public number corresponding to the data processing server 400, and then transfer the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the preset account of the data processing server 400 into an associated account of the requesting user.

In an alternative embodiment, the receiving unit 410 is further used for receiving a resource transfer query request sent by the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource inward-transfer message; and

the sending unit 420 is further used for returning a resource outward-transfer message to the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource transfer query request, wherein the resource outward-transfer message is used for prompting the requested user to acknowledge whether resources are transferred to the requesting user.

The resource outward-transfer message may include further resource outward-transfer information, for example, detailed information of the requesting user (for example, the previous resource inward-transfer message does not include a user avatar of the requesting user, and the resource outward-transfer message may include the user avatar of the requesting user), an associated resource outward-transfer account for resource inward-transfer, resource inward-transfer activity details and the like, for prompting the requested user to acknowledge whether resources are transferred to the requesting user.

Further, the receiving unit 410 receives a resource outward-transfer request message sent by the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource outward-transfer message. For example, when the requested user further acknowledges resource outward-transfer according to the resource outward-transfer message, for example, clicks on a key or link of “I want resource outward-transfer” in the resource outward-transfer message, the user terminal of the requested user sends the resource outward-transfer request message to the data processing server 400.

In an alternative embodiment, the resource transfer processing unit 430 is specifically used for: sending resource outward-transfer parameter information to the user terminal of the requested user according to the resource outward-transfer request message, so that the user terminal of the requested user sends a resource outward-transfer request to a resource outward-transfer server according to the resource outward-transfer parameter information, and the resource outward-transfer server transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from the associated account of the requested user into the associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request. In specific implementation, after receiving the resource outward-transfer parameter information sent by the data processing server, the user terminal of the requested user may automatically invoke a resource outward-transfer initiate interface of the terminal, for example, a resource outward-transfer function of a social application terminal, to send a resource outward-transfer request to a preset resource outward-transfer server, wherein the resource outward-transfer request carries the resource outward-transfer parameter information.

In an alternative embodiment, the sending unit 420 is further used for sending a resource transfer success message to the user terminal of the requesting user after the resource transfer processing unit 430 transfers the inwardly transferred resources corresponding to the requested user from an associated account of the requested user into an associated account of the requesting user according to the resource outward-transfer request message.

Specifically, if the resource transfer processing unit 430 makes the requested user send a resource outward-transfer request to a resource outward-transfer server according to resource outward-transfer parameter information by sending the resource outward-transfer parameter information to the requested user, the sending unit 420 may send a resource transfer success message to the user terminal of the requesting user according to the resource transfer success message sent by the resource outward-transfer server to the data processing server 400.

The data processing server 400 in this embodiment may send a resource inward-transfer message to a designated requested user according to a resource inward-transfer request sent by a requesting user, so that the requested user may initiate resource outward-transfer according to the resource inward-transfer message, and it is unnecessary to input user account information in the resource inward-transfer process, which ensures security of the user account information, and achieves safe and efficient online resource inward-transfer.

FIGS. 12A-12E are exemplary screenshots of displaying resource transfer related messages in a social networking application running on user terminals according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the data processing server described above is used for implementing a social networking application, e.g., an instant messaging application like WeChat. The resource transfer function as described in the present disclosure is one of the many features supported by the social networking application. The nature of the social networking application makes it an appropriate platform for a group of users to organize an event, e.g., a birthday party, by exchanging information with one another. Quite often, an organizer prepays the expense of organizing the event and then seeks reimbursement or contributions from the attendees. Therefore, it would be beneficial if the contribution collection process is also completed through the same social networking application. For illustrative purposes, the set of screenshots are described below to highlight how the contribution collection process is performed at the data processing server.

Assume that a user of the social networking application called “Sunny” has organized a birthday party attended by users “Thomas”, “Richard” and “Jenny” and Sunny would like to invite the other attendees to contribute some money to the expense. To do so, Sunny starts his social networking application from his user terminal (e.g., a smartphone) and selects the resource transfer function supported by the social networking application. FIG. 12 A depicts a screenshot of the resource transfer function implemented on the user terminal. In this case, Sunny needs to prepare and send a message to notify the other attendees of how much he wants them to contribute. Note that this message is a structured message that includes multiple components, e.g., an event title “Birthday Party”, one or more recipient user accounts of the message, each recipient user account selected from Sunny's user contact list and corresponding to one of the attendees of the party, and a user account for making the contribution request (which is Sunny himself). In some embodiments, there is a specific amount of resource expected from each attendee, e.g., $20 from each of the three attendees. In some other embodiments, the message may not specify the amount expected from each attendee and the recipient of the message can determine how much he or she wants to contribute.

In some embodiments, since this resource transfer function is implemented in a social networking application, the basic function of the social networking application is kept together with the resource transfer function. As shown in FIG. 12A, Sunny can compose a separate text message in addition to the structured message related to resource transfer. In some embodiments, Sunny can even prepare an audio message in addition to the structured message related to resource transfer. Finally, a user selection of the Send button in FIG. 12A triggers the submission of the structured message as well as the additional message (if existing) to the data process server.

Upon receipt of the structured message, the data process server understands that this message requires special treatment. For example, the data process server extracts the information items in the structured message including the event title, one or more recipient user accounts and respective resources requested from the recipient user accounts, and the requesting user account. For each recipient user account, the data process server generates and sends a structured request to a respective user terminal associated with the recipient user account, the structured request including the event title, the requesting user account, and an amount of resource requested by the requesting user account, and one or more user-actionable items. FIG. 12B depicts such a structured request on a user terminal associated with Richard. In some embodiments, the structured request received by the respective user terminal is displayed in the context of a sequence of messages exchanged between the requesting user account and the recipient user account using the social networking application. For example, there are two regular messages between Sunny and Richard located above the structured request. As shown in FIG. 12B, the structured request has a different visual cue from the other regular messages. In this example, the structured request includes the amount requested by Sunny, $20. But this field is user-editable. In other words, Richard can change the amount by clicking this field. As shown in FIG. 12C, Richard changes the amount of his contribution from $20 to $25. In some embodiments, the structured request is shown to be from the System (not Sunny), indicating that this is a special type of message appearing on the display and requiring additional attention.

As shown in FIG. 12C, Richard selects the Yes button to approve the amount to be deducted from his user account or the No button to disapprove the amount. In some embodiments, the selection of the Yes button triggers an alert message to be displayed on the user terminal when the predefined amount of resource authorized by the recipient user account is less than the amount of resource requested by the requesting user account. Like the initial structured message, the recipient user Richard can also compose a separate, regular message using the social networking application and send a structured response back to the data process server, the structured response including the event title, the requesting user account, and an authorization of transferring a predefined amount of resource to the requesting user account.

Upon receipt of the structured response, the data process server then performs a resource transfer operation between the recipient user account and the requesting user account in accordance with the predefined amount. In this example, the data process server transfers $25 from Richard's account to Sunny's account. After the completion of the resource transfer, the data process server sends structured messages to the respective user terminals. As shown in FIGS. 12D and 12E, the structured message to Sunny's user terminal indicates that a predefined amount of resource has been transferred from a respective recipient user account to the requesting user account and the structured message to Richard's indicates that the predefined amount of resource has been transferred to the requesting user account. Note that both messages are like a regular message but with slightly different visual appearance including the sending of the message being “System.” In some embodiments, after receiving the structured response from the respective user terminal and before performing the transfer, the data process server queries a user account database of the social networking application for the recipient user account to determine whether the recipient user account has sufficient amount of resource for transferring the predefined amount of resource to the requesting user account. When the recipient user account does not have sufficient amount of resource for transferring the predefined amount of resource to the requesting user account, the data process server returns an error message to the respective user terminal. After the user deposits sufficient fund into his or her account, the data process server then resends the structured request like the one shown in FIG. 12C. In some other embodiments, the data process server does not resend the structured request but goes ahead performing the resource transfer in accordance with the amount authorized by the recipient user.

In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.

The terminology used in the description of the present disclosure herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure. As used in the description of the present disclosure and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

As used herein, the term “if” may be construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in accordance with a determination” or “in response to detecting,” that a stated condition precedent is true, depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined [that a stated condition precedent is true]” or “if [a stated condition precedent is true]” or “when [a stated condition precedent is true]” may be construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “in accordance with a determination” or “upon detecting” or “in response to detecting” that the stated condition precedent is true, depending on the context.

Although some of the various drawings illustrate a number of logical stages in a particular order, stages that are not order dependent may be reordered and other stages may be combined or broken out. While some reordering or other groupings are specifically mentioned, others will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art and so do not present an exhaustive list of alternatives. Moreover, it should be recognized that the stages could be implemented in hardware, firmware, software or any combination thereof.

The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present disclosure to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the present disclosure and its practical applications, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the present disclosure and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
