Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a detection section which detects touch operation on a touch operation surface by an operating tool; a determination section which determines whether contact of the operating tool to the touch operation surface is maintained; a display control section which causes a confirmation message, for confirming whether to execute a predetermined processing, to be displayed depending on a determination result of the determination section; a recording section for recording a confirmation processing with respect to the confirmation message, wherein the confirmation processing is executed in accordance with the operation of the operating tool, and the predetermined processing is executed as result of the confirmation processing: and an execution section which executes the predetermined processing designated by the confirmation processing, wherein, when the determination section determines that the contact of the operating tool to the touch operation surface is maintained, and determines that the confirmation processing with respect to the confirmation message is previously recorded by the recording section, the execution section executes the predetermined processing designated by the recorded confirmation processing even without explicit confirmation processing being performed with respect to the confirmation message, wherein the detection section detects a pressing force applied by the operating tool to the touch operation surface, wherein the determination section determines whether the contact of the operating tool to the touch operation surface is maintained and whether the pressing force applied by the operating tool to the touch operation surface increases, wherein, when the determination section determines that the contact of the operating tool to the touch operation surface is maintained and that the pressing force applied by the operating tool to the touch operation surface increases, the execution section executes the predetermined processing designated by the confirmation processing even without explicit confirmation processing being performed with respect to the confirmation message, wherein the display control section causes a plurality of confirmation messages, for confirming whether to execute the predetermined processing, to be displayed on a display screen in a step-by-step manner before the predetermined processing is executed by the execution section, wherein the confirmation processing recorded by the recording section comprises a sequence of a plurality of confirmation processing with respect to the plurality of confirmation messages, and wherein when the determination section determines that the contact of the operating tool to the touch operation surface is maintained and that the pressing force applied by the operating tool to the touch operation surface increases and becomes equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, and determines that the confirmation processing with respect to the confirmation message is previously recorded, the display control section causes the plurality of confirmation messages to be displayed sequentially on the display screen depending on the pressing force even without the explicit confirmation processing being performed with respect to the plurality of confirmation messages.
