Abstract
A seat control device controls an electric seat in which a seat portion is moved by a predetermined distance by a first motor and a backrest is tilted by a predetermined angle by a second motor. The seat control device includes: a pinching detecting unit that detects an object being pinched between seats due to a movement of the seat portion based on a rotational state of the first motor and a predetermined threshold value. The threshold value is a threshold value that changes according to a tilt angle of the backrest such that pinching is easily detected as the tilt angle of the backrest increases.
