1. An operation detecting device of an opening and closing body for a vehicle, comprising:

  • a detecting section that detects an operation by a user with respect to an opening and closing body of a vehicle, the detecting section includes a plurality of electrodes which detect a change of an electrostatic capacitance value which is generated due to the operation;

    an input section that receives an opening and closing body motion signal which indicates whether or not the opening and closing body is in motion or idle;

    a determination section that determines whether or not the operation is performed using different detection conditions for a case in which the opening and closing body is in motion and a case in which the opening and closing body is idle; and

    an output section that outputs a control signal which causes the opening and closing body to move or stop based on the determination result of the determination section;

    wherein,the determination section determines whether or not the operation is performed, based on the change of the electrostatic capacitance value,when the opening and closing body is idle, the determination section determines that the operation is performed in a case in which a plurality of the electrostatic capacitance values detected by the plurality of electrodes shows a variation pattern corresponding to a predetermined gesture of the user, andwhen the opening and closing body is in motion, the determination section determines that the operation is performed in a case where it is detected that at least one of the plurality of electrostatic capacitance values detected by the plurality of electrodes is changed to a predetermined threshold or more due to the operation.
