When a (e.g., first) component is referred to as being "(operably or communicatively) coupled with / to another (e.g., second) component" or "connected to another (e.g., second) component", it may be directly coupled with / to the other component, or an intervening component (e.g., a third component) may be present.

[0161] As used herein, the expression "adapted to or configured to" may be used interchangeably with, for example, the expressions "suitable for," "having the ability to," "changed to," "made to," "capable of," or "designed to," in terms of hardware or software, as the case may be. The expression "a device configured to" may refer to a device that is "capable of" operating with another device or other parts. For example, "a processor configured to (or set to) perform A, B, and C" may refer to, for example, a dedicated processor (e.g., an embedded processor) for performing the corresponding operations or a general-purpose processor (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor (AP)) that performs the corresponding operations by running one or more software programs stored in a storage device (e.g., memory 130).

[0162] The term "module" used herein may include a unit implemented in hardware, software or firmware or any combination thereof, and may be used interchangeably with the terms "logic", "logic block", "part", "circuit", etc. A "module" may be the smallest unit of an integrated part or a part thereof, or may be the smallest unit for performing one or more functions or a part thereof. A "module" may be implemented mechanically or electrically, and may include, for example, a dedicated IC (ASIC) chip, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and a programmable logic device known or to be developed for performing some operations.

[0163] At least a portion of the apparatus (e.g., its modules or functions) or methods (e.g., operations) according to various embodiments may be implemented, for example, by instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium (e.g., memory 130) in the form of a program module. When the instruction is executed by a processor (e.g., processor 120), the processor may perform a function corresponding to the instruction. The computer-readable recording medium may include a hard disk, a floppy disk, a magnetic medium (e.g., a magnetic tape), an optical medium (e.g., a compact disk read-only memory (CD-ROM) and a digital versatile disk (DVD), a magneto-optical medium (e.g., an optical magneto-floppy disk)), an embedded memory, etc. One or more instructions may include a code generated by a compiler or a code executable by an interpreter.

[0164] Each component (e.g., module or program module) according to various embodiments may include a single entity or multiple entities, may omit a part of the above-mentioned subcomponents, or may further include other subcomponents. Alternatively or additionally, after being integrated into an entity, some components (e.g., module or program module) may identically or similarly perform the functions performed by each corresponding component before integration. According to various embodiments, the operations performed by a module, program module or other components may be performed by a sequential method, a parallel method, a repetitive method or a heuristic method, or may be performed at least a portion of the operations or omitted at least a portion of the operations in different orders. Alternatively, other operations may be added.

[0165] Although the present disclosure has been shown and described with reference to various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, it will be understood that the various exemplary embodiments are intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. It will also be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the true spirit and full scope of the present disclosure including the appended claims and their equivalents.
