Control apparatus, control method, and program

A method for controlling a stopped state holding apparatus which can be switched between a holding state for holding a vehicle in a stopped state and a cancelled state in which the holding state is cancelled, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting a manipulation state of an operation section which is manipulated by an operator so as to switch the stopped state holding apparatus to either of the holding state and the cancelled state;
• controlling operation of the stopped state holding apparatus on the basis of the detected manipulation state;
• and
• controlling the operation of the stopped state holding apparatus irrespective of a particular manipulation state when the particular manipulation state is detected, the particular manipulation state being a manipulation state in which a manipulation of the operation section for switching the stopped state holding apparatus continues for a predetermined period of time or longer.

A program for a computer of a stopped state holding apparatus which can be switched between a holding state for holding a vehicle in a stopped state and a cancelled state in which the holding state is cancelled, the program causing the computer to execute a process of:

• detecting a manipulation state of an operation section which is manipulated by an operator so as to switch the stopped state holding apparatus to either of the holding state and the cancelled state;
• controlling operation of the stopped state holding apparatus on the basis of the detected manipulation state;
• and
• controlling the operation of the stopped state holding apparatus irrespective of a particular manipulation state when the particular manipulation state is detected, the particular manipulation state being a manipulation state in which a manipulation of the operation section for switching the stopped state holding apparatus continues for a predetermined period of time or longer.
