1. A control device for use in a system configured to conduct presence-or-absence determination on whether or not a moving object is present on the basis of detection by a first sensor provided in a predetermined compartment region, the control device comprising:

  • a mode control section configured to control switching of an operation mode for the detection by the first sensor or the presence-or-absence determination; and

    an acquisition section configured to acquire a determination result of whether or not a moving object is present in an adjacent region adjacent to the predetermined compartment region and not including the predetermined compartment region,wherein the mode control section switches the operation mode to a first operation mode when a determination result indicating that a moving object is not present in the adjacent region is acquired by the acquisition section, and switches the operation mode to a second operation mode when a determination result indicating that a moving object is present in the adjacent region is acquired, andwherein switching the operation mode to the second operation mode includes changing a detection range of the first sensor such that a likelihood of detecting a presence of a moving object in the predetermined compartment region by the first sensor is reduced, andthe acquisition section determines whether or not a moving object is present in the adjacent region on the basis of a detection result by a second sensor of which an area of detection includes the adjacent region.
