Claim 9:
10. A vehicle, comprising:
an in-vehicle equipment control device, wherein the in-vehicle equipment control device includes
circuitry configured to control in-vehicle equipment in the vehicle, and
a memory,
wherein the circuitry includes, as software components,
an application layer in which an application for achieving individual functions of the in-vehicle equipment are implemented,
a device driver configured to convert a command received from the application to a command for hardware, and
a middleware layer in which one or a plurality of first communication packets through which data is exchanged with the application and a plurality of second communication packets through which data is exchanged with the device driver are implemented,
wherein the memory stores a rewritable internal mapping table that defines connection relationships between the first communication packets and the second communication packets and a rewritable external mapping table that defines direct communication routes between the first communication packets or the second communication packets and a communication network to be connected to the middleware layer, and
wherein the middleware layer generates a communication route based on the internal mapping table and the external mapping table.
