Claim Text:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a personal computer connected to a camera separate from the personal computer, the personal computer having: processing circuitry configured to: wherein the circuitry is further configured to output information associated with one or more of the first application and the second application, when the recognized gesture command is determined, by the circuitry based on the comparison of the recognized gesture command to each of the plurality of previously stored gesture commands, to have associated therewith a previously stored gesture command while the circuitry controls operation of the first application in a foreground, the circuitry controls operation of the second application operating in a background based on a control operation corresponding to the previously stored gesture command, except when the previously stored gesture command is a gesture command to switch modes, in which case the circuitry switches to a feedback mode if currently in the normal mode and switches to the normal mode if currently in the feedback mode, when the recognized gesture command is determined, by the circuitry based on the comparison of the recognized gesture command to each of the plurality of previously stored gesture commands, not to have associated therewith a previously stored gesture command while the circuitry controls operation of the first application in the foreground, operation information is fed back to the user, when the recognized gesture command is determined, by the circuitry based on the comparison of the recognized gesture command to each of the plurality of previously stored gesture commands, to be the gesture command to switch modes and the current mode is the normal mode, the circuitry switches to the feedback mode and the operation information is fed back to the user, the operation information fed back to the user is fed back simultaneously while the circuitry is outputting information associated with the one or more of the first application and the second application and includes: the gesture command to switch modes is the same gesture command to switch from the feedback mode to the normal mode and to switch from the normal mode to the feedback mode.
