Abstract

A control apparatus (10) includes a signal detection unit (110) and a data acquisition unit (120). The signal detection unit (110) acquires operation signals relating to an operation of a processing apparatus (20) that processes food and drink, and detects a specific operation signal relating to a specific operation from among the operation signals. The data acquisition unit (120) determines, based on a detection timing of the specific operation signal, a data acquisition period of an odor sensor (30) provided in the processing apparatus (20), and acquires output data being output from the odor sensor (20) during the data acquisition period.
