Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a touch detection unit configured to detect touch of an instruction object on an operation surface and obtain a touch detection result; a proximity detection unit configured to detect proximity of the instruction object to the operation surface and obtain a before touch proximity detection result and an after touch proximity detection result; and a control unit determining whether the touch of the instruction object is a predetermined input operation based on a first touch detection result and at least one of a second touch detection result, a before touch proximity detection result, and an after touch proximity detection result; wherein, when the second touch detection result is used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, a determination is made based on the second touch detection result as to whether at least one of the before touch proximity detection result and the after touch proximity detection result is also used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, and the first touch detection result and the second touch detection result are non-simultaneous touch detection results.
