Abstract

An unintentional operation of a door is prevented while the usability of the door is improved. A power back door control device includes: an operation signal acceptor configured to accept an operation signal of a back door opening/closing switch for performing an operation of opening or closing a back door of a vehicle; a controller configured to control opening/closing of the back door via a motor when the operation signal acceptor accepts the operation signal; and a stopping state detector configured to detect whether or not the vehicle is in a stopping state based on information about traveling or stopping of the vehicle acquired by a vehicle-side ECU. When the stopping state detector detects that the vehicle is not in the stopping state, the controller performs fixing control of the back door so as to keep the back door from moving.
