Abstract:
1. An information processing device comprising: a touch operation detection unit operable to detect a touch operation made on a body of the information processing device; a touchless operation detection unit operable to detect a sign made by part of a user's body, as a touchless operation made with no touch on the body of the information processing device; a switch detection unit operable to detect a switch operation for switching an input mode from a first input mode to a second input mode, the switch operation being made with a touch on the body of the information processing device, the first input mode being for receiving, as an input, a touchless operation detected by the touchless operation detection unit, and the second input mode being for receiving, as an input, a touch operation detected by the touch operation detection unit; a processing unit operable to perform processing in accordance with an instruction; and a control unit operable, in the first input mode, to receive, as an input, a touchless operation detected by the touchless operation detection unit, and issue a first instruction to the processing unit to start processing that corresponds to the received touchless operation, and when an output status is obtained as a result of the processing started by the processing unit in accordance with the first instruction, if the switch detection unit detects a switch operation within a predetermined time period after the reception of the touchless operation, to issue a second instruction to the processing unit to set the output status to an output status which has been obtained immediately before the start of the processing.
