Control device, animal toilet, information processing device, information processing terminal, and control method

A control device which controls an animal toilet, the control device comprising:

• a measurement value obtaining section which obtains, over time, information indicative of a measurement value shown by a weight scale that is included in the animal toilet and that measures a body weight of an animal;
• a first reference value setting section which sets, as a first reference value, the measurement value shown by the weight scale while a steady-state load is applied to the weight scale;
• and
• an offset determining section which sets, as a second reference value, the measurement value shown by the weight scale and regarded as a measurement value shown while no load is applied to the weight scale,
• in a case where the measurement value, which has been shown by the weight scale and which has been obtained by the measurement value obtaining section, has decreased from the first reference value by more than a first threshold, the offset determining section determining whether or not a difference between the measurement value and the second reference value is greater than a second threshold,
• in a case where the offset determining section determines that the difference between the measurement value and the second reference value is greater than the second threshold, the offset determining section storing the measurement value as a candidate second reference value.
