  • the processor 31 obtains a control amount for closing the window 52 (making the opening degree 0%), and supplies a control signal indicating the control amount to the window glass drive unit 51.
  • the window glass drive unit 51 drives a motor based on the control amount to cause the window glass to open or close. As a result, the window 52 is opened or closed.
  • step S007 when the window 52 is opened or closed, the processor 31 outputs a sound indicating opening or closing of the window 52 from the speaker 37 to at least one of the inside and the outside of the vehicle 10. Thus, the person in or around the vehicle 10 is notified of opening or closing of the window.
  • step S008 the processor 31 waits for the acquisition of information indicating the result of the opening or closing operation from the window glass drive unit 51.
  • the processor 31 receives a signal or information indicating OK or NG of the opening or closing operation from the window glass drive unit 51, or receives a signal or information indicating NG (error) in the case of NG.
  • step S009 the processor 31 performs a process of transmitting the information regarding the result of the control of opening or closing the window 52 to the terminal 4 of the user 11. That is, the processor 31 generates information indicating success (OK) or failure (NG) of the opening or closing operation in accordance with the signal or information obtained from the window glass drive unit 51, and transmits the information to the terminal 4 using the communication IF 33. As described above, in the present embodiment, the processor 31 performs the control of opening or closing the window 52 based on the meteorological condition information in response to the instruction from the terminal 4 of the user 11. Then, the processor 31 transmits the information regarding the result of the control of opening or closing the window 52 to the terminal 4 of the user 11.
  • the opening degree of the window 52 included in the vehicle 10 is controlled in accordance with the meteorological condition information.
  • the opening degree of the window can be controlled (adjusted) to the optimum state in accordance with the short-term weather at that time that is indicated by the meteorological condition information.
  • the server 2 may have the same configuration as that of the terminal 4 shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the storage device 42 of the server 2 is configured to store a vehicle database (vehicle DB) as shown in FIG. 7 .
  • vehicle DB is configured to store information in the record stored in the table of the terminal 3 regarding one or more vehicles (including the vehicle 10).
  • the processor 41 of the server 2 performs the processing as shown in FIG. 8 . In this way, the server 2 can centrally manage information on a plurality of vehicles.
  • the server 2 (processor 41) waits for the reception of the opening-closing instruction of the window 52 from the terminal 4 (S001).
  • the server 2 determines whether the opening-closing instruction is an opening instruction or a closing instruction for the window 52 that is specified by the opening-closing instruction (S002). In the case of an opening instruction, the server 2 performs the same processes as of steps S003 to S005 described above.
  • the server 2 performs the process of step S006A instead of step S006. That is, the server 2 transmits the opening degree of the window 52 to be opened or closed (the opening degree obtained in S005 in the case of an opening instruction, the opening degree of 0% in the case of a closing instruction) to the terminal 3.
  • the server 2 waits for the acquisition of the information indicating the result of the opening-closing operation from the terminal 3, and when acquiring the information indicating the result, the server 2 transmits (transfers) the information to the terminal 4.
  • the terminal 3 does not perform the processes of steps S001 to S005 among the processes of FIG. 5 , and when receiving the information indicating the opening degree of the window 52 to be opened or closed from the server 2, the processor 31 performs the processes of steps S005 to S009 shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the server 2 may be operated as the "information processing device".
  • the processes described as being executed by one device may be shared and executed by a plurality of devices. Alternatively, the processes described as being executed by different devices may be executed by one device. In the computer system, it is possible to flexibly change the hardware configuration (server configuration) for realizing each function.
  • the present disclosure can also be implemented by supplying a computer with a computer program that implements the functions described in the above embodiment and causing one or more processors of the computer to read and execute the program.
  • a computer program may be provided to the computer by a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium connectable to the system bus of the computer, or may be provided to the computer via a network.
  • the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is a disc of any type such as a magnetic disc (floppy (registered trademark) disc, hard disk drive (HDD), and the like) and an optical disc (CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-ray disc, and the like).
  • non-transitory computer-readable medium includes a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), an EPROM, an EEPROM, a magnetic card, a flash memory, an optical card, and a medium of any type that is appropriate for storing electrical commands.
