Claim Text:
1. An information processing apparatus operable to recognize a first operation made up of a first touch input and a second operation made up of a combination of the first input and a touch input that follows after the first input, the touch input that follows after the first touch input is input before a predetermined time period passes after the first touch, the information processing apparatus comprising: a detecting unit configured to detect that, as one touch input, an operating object touches a touch target surface and then the operating object is released from the touch target surface; and a control unit configured to control output to start a response corresponding to the first operation without waiting for the predetermined time period to pass after the first touch input, in a case that at least a movement distance that the operating object has moved in a direction parallel to the touch target surface in a state of proximity to the touch target surface after the operating object is released from the touch target surface at the end of the first touch input exceeds a threshold, and configured to control output not to start the response corresponding to the first operation by the predetermined time period passes after the first touch input while the movement distance does not exceed the threshold.
