Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
an optical sensor configured to sense an operation body in chronological order to obtain data;
a relative velocity calculation unit configured to:
determine, based on the obtained data, a position of each of:
a first point on the operation body, and
a second point on the operation body;

determine an absolute velocity of each of the first point and the second point based on a change of the determined position of each of the first point and the second point; and
calculate, based on the determined absolute velocity of each of the first point and the second point, a relative velocity of the second point on the operation body with respect to the first point on the operation body; and a gesture recognition unit configured to:
recognize a touch with the first point on an object as a first gesture in a case where the relative velocity exceeds a threshold value; and
recognize a touch with the second point on the object as a second gesture in a case where the relative velocity is lower than the threshold value.
