Abstract

An information processing device receives a request signal, read out a user class or a storage region class from a memory, based on which user class and storage region class the request signal requests, and generates an object corresponding to the read-out class, wherein each user class is a class relating to users and each storage region class is a class relating to storage regions utilized by the users, based on the generated object and the request signal. The information processing device executes a method corresponding to the object, and thereby acquire data corresponding to the request signal. The information processing device outputs the acquired data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle comprising an information processing device comprising a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a request signal via an input/output interface;
judge whether the request signal is a request for a user class or a storage region class;
read out the user class or the storage region class from the memory, based on which user class and storage region class the request signal requests, and generate an object corresponding to the read-out class, wherein each user class is a class relating to vehicle users and each storage region class is a class relating to storage regions utilized by the vehicle users;
based on the generated object and the request signal, execute a method corresponding to the object;
when the request is for a user class, the method comprises obtaining an ID of a storage region of a vehicle user;
when the request is for a storage region class, the method comprises opening a predetermined file related to the vehicle user;
acquire data corresponding to the request signal by executing the method corresponding to the object; and
output the acquired data via the input/output interface.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein:
the user class includes, as attribute information, information relating to the vehicle users, and includes, as methods, processing relating to the vehicle users, and
the storage region class includes, as attribute information, information relating to the storage regions, and includes, as methods, processing relating to the storage regions.

3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein:
a user group class that manages the user class, and that includes, as attribute information, information relating to at least some of the vehicle users, and includes, as methods, processing relating to the at least some of the vehicle users, and
a storage region group class that manages the storage region class, and that includes, as attribute information, information relating to at least some of the storage regions, and includes, as methods, processing relating to the at least some of the storage regions,
are further stored in the memory, and
in a case in which the request signal requests the user group class, the processor determines that the request signal requests the user class, and, in a case in which the request signal requests the storage region group class, the processor determines that the request signal requests the storage region class.

4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein:
a file class, which is a class including, as attribute information, information relating to files stored in the storage regions, and including, as methods, processing relating to the files, is further stored in the memory, and
the processor further determines whether or not the request signal requests the file class, and, in a case in which it is indicated that the request signal requests the file class, the processor generates an object corresponding to the file class.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein:
the information processing device is installed in a vehicle,
the vehicle is used by a plurality of users,
the user class is associated with the user who uses the vehicle,
the storage region class is associated with a storage region included in the information processing device.

6. An information processing method performed by a vehicle in which a processor is configured to:
receive a request signal via an input/output interface;
judge whether the request signal is a request for a user class or a storage region class;
read out the user class or the storage region class from a memory, based on which user class and storage region class the request signal requests, and generate an object corresponding to the read-out class, wherein each user class is a class relating to vehicle users and each storage region class is a class relating to storage regions utilized by the vehicle users;
based on the generated object and the request signal, execute a method corresponding to the object;
when the request is for a user class, the method comprises obtaining an ID of a storage region of a vehicle user;
when the request is for a storage region class, the method comprises opening a predetermined file related to the vehicle user;
acquire data corresponding to the request signal by executing the method corresponding to the object; and
output the acquired data via the input/output interface.

7. A non-transitory storage medium of a vehicle storing an information processing program that is executable by a computer to perform processing, the processing comprising:
receiving a request signal via an input/output interface;
judge whether the request signal is a request for a user class or a storage region class;
reading out the user class or the storage region class from a memory, based on which user class and storage region class the request signal requests, and generating an object corresponding to the read-out class, wherein each user class is a class relating to vehicle users and each storage region class is a class relating to storage regions utilized by the vehicle users;
based on the generated object and the request signal, executing a method corresponding to the object;
when the request is for a user class, the method comprises obtaining an ID of a storage region of a vehicle user;
when the request is for a storage region class, the method comprises opening a predetermined file related to the vehicle user;
acquiring data corresponding to the request signal by executing the method corresponding to the object; and
outputting the acquired data via the input/output interface.
