Abstract
A vehicle-mounted apparatus is mounted in a vehicle and is connected to a plurality of actuators. The vehicle-mounted apparatus includes: a control unit for generating control signals for controlling the actuators; an output processing unit for outputting the control signals, which have been generated by the control unit, via signal pins to which the plurality of actuators are connected, and at least one internal pin that connects the control unit and the output processing unit and transmits the control signals, wherein the internal pins are fewer in number than the signal pins.
Claims10
A vehicle-mounted apparatus that is mounted in a vehicle and is connected to a plurality of actuators,
- the vehicle-mounted apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit for storing a plurality of programs, which individually correspond to the plurality of actuators;
- a control unit for generating control signals for controlling the actuators;
- an output processing unit for outputting the control signals, which have been generated by the control unit, via signal pins to which the plurality of actuators are connected, and
- at least one internal pin that connects the control unit and the output processing unit and transmits the control signals,
- wherein the internal pins are fewer in number than the signal pins;
- and
- wherein the control unit generates a plurality of virtual environments and executes the plurality of programs with the generated plurality of virtual environments as operating environments, and wherein the control unit switches an allocation of the internal pins between the plurality of virtual environments, and outputs a control signal generated by a program executed in a virtual environment to which the internal pins have been allocated.
A program causing a computer, which is mounted in a vehicle, is connected to a plurality of actuators, and includes a control unit for generating control signals for controlling the actuators, an output processing unit for outputting the control signals, which have been generated by the control unit, via signal pins to which the plurality of actuators are connected, and internal pins that connect the control unit and the output processing unit, transmit the control signals, and are fewer in number than the signal pins, to execute processing,
- the processing comprising:
- causing the control unit to output the control signals via the internal pins;
- and
- causing the output processing unit to output a control signal acquired via the internal pins from the signal pin to which an actuator, which is an output destination of the control signal, is connected;
- and
- causing the control unit to generate a plurality of virtual environments and executes a plurality of programs with the generated plurality of virtual environments as operating environments, and wherein the control unit switches an allocation of the internal pins between the plurality of virtual environments, and outputs a control signal generated by a program executed in a virtual environment to which the internal pins have been allocated.
An information processing method for causing a computer, which is mounted in a vehicle, is connected to a plurality of actuators, and includes a control unit for generating control signals for controlling the actuators, an output processing unit for outputting the control signals, which have been generated by the control unit, via signal pins to which the plurality of actuators are connected, and internal pins that connect the control unit and the output processing unit, transmit the control signals, and are fewer in number than the signal pins, to execute processing,
- the processing comprising:
- causing the control unit to output the control signals via the internal pins;
- and
- causing the output processing unit to output a control signal acquired via the internal pins from the signal pin to which an actuator, which is an output destination of the control signal, is connected;
- and
- causing the control unit to generate a plurality of virtual environments and executes a plurality of programs with the generated plurality of virtual environments as operating environments, and wherein the control unit switches an allocation of the internal pins between the plurality of virtual environments, and outputs a control signal generated by a program executed in a virtual environment to which the internal pins have been allocated.
