1. A control device comprising:
circuitry configured to
obtain pressure distribution data by measuring pressure distributions for a plurality of measurement ranges of a seat of a vehicle on which a user is seated, and time variations of the pressure distributions,
perform statistical processing on the pressure distribution data to obtain statistically processed pressure distribution data of load changes during a predetermined period of time while the user is seated on the seat, according to behavior of the user,
determine whether the user experiences physical fatigue according to the statistically processed pressure distribution data, and
control operation of a device of the vehicle based on a result of determination that the user experiences the physical fatigue.
