Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a first determination unit configured to determine whether new coordinate data is input within a predetermined time since previous coordinate data for displaying an image on a display is input; a grouping unit configured to group the new coordinate data and the previous coordinate data as an object if said first determination unit determines that the new coordinate data is input within the predetermined time since the previous coordinate data for displaying the image on the display has been input; a second determination unit configured to determine whether the object which corresponds to the new coordinate data and the previous coordinate data, the object having been grouped by said grouping unit, overlaps with a predetermined area on the display; and a control unit configured to move the object corresponding to the new coordinate data and the previous coordinate data together to avoid overlapping with the predetermined area in a case where said second determination unit determines that the object overlaps with the predetermined area.
