根据请求输入从控制器调用表单请求

Question

I have a controller that accepts input. This input is parsed by a request validation (POSRequest). If the request validation succeeded, the request is then passed into the controller. Standard laravel stuff.

I have to typehint in the controller POSRequest $requests in order to fire the request validation, how can I call other requests based on the input provided in POSRequest $request?

Here is some code to clear things up a bit:
public function process(POSRequest $request){ ... }

All of my requests come to process function and based on input of $requests i need to call other functions:
private function StartRequest(POSStartRequest $request) { ... }
private function CheckRequest(POSCheckRequest $request) { ... }

How can i call these frunctions from within the controller from within the process function and convert POSRequest to either one of other requests?

Thank you in advance!

You can manually create validators in controller method

public function process(Request $request) {
        $rulesFirstRequest = ['field1' => 'required', 'field2' => 'required'];
        $rulesSecondRequest = ['field12' => 'required', 'field22' => 'required'];

        $validator1 = Validator::make($request->all(), $rulesFirstRequest);
        $validator2 = Validator::make($request->all(), $rulesSecondRequest);

        if ($validator1->fails()) {
            //do your stuff
            if ($validator2->fails()) {
                //do your stuff    
            }
        }
        // next stuff
    }
