Claim:
1. An opening and closing body control apparatus comprising: a first signal receiving unit configured to receive a first detection signal indicating the presence or absence of contact of a user with an operating portion of an opening and closing body; a second signal receiving unit configured to receive a second detection signal indicating a movement speed of the opening and closing body; and a signal output unit configured to output a control signal for regulating a holding force of the opening and closing body to a holding force regulating device, wherein the control signal for regulating the holding force of the opening and closing body to a first holding force less than a second holding force is output to the holding force regulating device according to the first detection signal indicating that the contact of the user with the operating portion has been detected, and when the second detection signal indicating that the movement speed of the opening and closing body is greater than or equal to a predetermined speed is received when the holding force of the opening and closing body is the first holding force, the control signal for regulating the holding force of the opening and closing body to the first holding force is output to the holding force regulating device regardless of the first detection signal.
