Notes about traps and interrupts.

In Ch1 Operating System Concepts 7th, I see both trap and interrupt can lead to
switch from user mode to kernel mode. But doesn't give a descriptions about them.
So what is the differences between them? Mainstream answer is following:

Trap can be seen as "software interrupt", "synchronous interrupt".
It is caused by  exceptions like segment fault or  user request. 
The process will be suspended until the corresponding system service routine
return control to it. So trap is " synchronous".

Interrupt can be seen as "hardware interrupt", "asynchronous interrupt". It can
be caused when keyboard hit or other peripherals sending electronic signal.
It may occurs even when a instruction is executing. So it is called " asynchronous".

But interrupt seems to be more general.
Sometimes it can indicate both hardware interrupt and software one.
And which type of interrupt that divided-by-zero error belongs to is still not clear.
So I think it's enough to treat interrupt as a way to inform the OS when something
should be done. Based on the urgent level of interrupts, OS employs corresponding
reactions ( calling service routine, ignored, switch process, terminate process, etc ).
