Patent ID: 8669947

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a detection circuit configured to detect a moving direction and a moving amount of a finger on an operation panel; and a moving control circuit configured to change a ratio of a moving amount of an object on a display with respect to the moving amount of the finger to increase or decrease depending on the moving direction of the finger, the moving amount of the object moving the object displayed on the display, wherein the moving control circuit is configured to change a ratio of a longitudinal moving amount of the object with respect to a lateral moving amount of the object depending on a moving speed of the finger, as the moving speed increases, the ratio increases until the moving speed reaches a first certain speed, as the moving speed increases beyond the first certain speed, the ratio does not change for an equal magnification interval, and as the moving speed increases beyond the equal magnification interval, the ratio increases, or as the moving speed decreases beyond the equal magnification interval, the ratio decreases.
