1. An open-close body control apparatus comprising:

  • a control unit configured to control driving an actuator configured to open and close an open-close body;

    a position detection unit configured to detect an open-close position of the open-close body;

    a physical quantity detection unit configured to detect a physical quantity indicating a state of the driven actuator; and

    a determination unit configured to determine whether or not there is interposition of a foreign matter by the open-close body, in accordance with the physical quantity detected by the physical quantity detection unit and a predetermined interposition threshold;

    wherein the determination unit determines the interposition in an ordinary region other than a full close position immediately ahead region while the open-close body is closing, and the control unit reverses a drive direction of the actuator to open the open-close body if the determination unit determines that the interposition occurs,wherein the determination unit continuously determines the interposition after the open-close body enters the full close position immediately ahead region, andwherein if the determination unit determines that the interposition occurs while the open-close body is closing in the full close position immediately ahead region, the control unit stops driving the actuator to stop the open-close body.
