Information processing apparatus recognizing instruction by touch input, control method thereof, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus, which recognizes an operation input using a pointed position, includes a position acquisition unit configured to acquire at least one pointed position pointed on a display screen; a pressure acquisition unit configured to acquire information related to pressure corresponding to each pointed position, acquired by the position acquisition unit; and a recognition unit configured to, in a case where a plurality of pointed positions pointed on the display screen exist at a same point-in-time, use a pointed position of the plurality of pointed positions excluding a pointed position regarding which a decision is made based on information relating to pressure acquired by the pressure acquisition unit that the pointed position does not make up input used for an operation of the information processing apparatus, recognize the operation.

Information processing apparatus, method, and storage medium

A control method for an information processing apparatus configured to acquire position information of one or more touched points one by one detected according to a predetermined detection period on a touch panel includes holding the position information of each of the one or more touched points in a holding unit, acquiring a number of the touched points whose position information is held in the holding unit, determining at each predetermined detection period that latest position information of all the touched points whose position information is held in the holding unit is specified, in a case where the number of the acquired touched point is two or more, and deciding the multi-touch operation performed to the information processing apparatus after the determination.

Multi-touch input information processing apparatus, method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus detects a touched point where an operation screen has been touched, and when the number of touched points detected has decreased to one point, recognize an input based on one detected touched point as a single-touch operation by using a condition different from that when the number of touched points has increased to one point from a state in which a touched point is not detected.

Information processing apparatus and control method thereof

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus configured to recognize a touch operation. The information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of touch positions touched on a display screen; a specifying unit configured to specify an object displayed at a position corresponding to each of the touch positions obtained by the obtaining unit on the display screen when at least one of the touch positions obtained by the obtaining unit is included in a predetermined range on the display screen; and a determination unit configured to determine, among the touch positions obtained by the obtaining unit, a touch position included in the predetermined range as an invalid input for a touch operation to the information processing apparatus when the object specified by the specifying unit is not a plurality of objects associated with each other.

Information processing apparatus and method for controlling the same

An apparatus capable of multi-touch operation useful for preventing a false operation despite a user's intention recognizes a touch operation and includes a touch detection unit configured to detect a touch point in a target area of the touch operation, a detection unit configured to detect a movement of the information processing apparatus, a determination unit configured to determine that, among a plurality of touch points detected by the touch detection unit, a touch point which begins to be detected before the apparatus moves and is being detected when the movement is detected, as not valid, and a recognition unit configured to recognize the touch operation based on, among the plurality of touch points detected by the touch detection unit, based on a touch point excluding the touch point determined as not valid by the determination unit.

Information processing apparatus and control method for recognizing a touch operation

In a case where a plurality of touch points touching on a touch panel is detected, a touch point changed from a previous state among the plurality of touch points is determined to be valid, whether a touch point not changed is valid is determined, and information regarding the touch point determined to be valid is recognized as an input.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program storage medium

When a plurality of objects are subjected to a batch processing by an object selection unit and a batch processing execution unit, if an input is made to an object included in the plurality of objects, an information processing apparatus controls the processing execution unit so as to execute a processing on the object based on the input, thereby executing a processing of moving all of the selected plurality of objects simultaneously with a processing of moving an arbitrary object separately from other objects among the selected plurality of objects.

Batch processing information processing including simultaneously moving a plurality of objects and independently moving an object from the rest of the plurality of objects

A coating/developing device includes a processing block having a plurality of coating unit blocks stacked and a developing unit block stacked on the coating unit blocks. Each of the unit blocks is provided with a liquid processing unit for coating a liquid chemical on a substrate, a heating unit for heating the substrate, a cooling unit for cooling the substrate and a transfer unit for transferring the substrate between the units. The liquid processing unit is provided with a coating unit for coating a resist liquid on the substrate, a first bottom antireflection coating (BARC) forming unit for coating a liquid chemical for a BARC on the substrate before the resist liquid is coated thereon, and a second BARC forming unit for coating a liquid chemical for the BARC on the substrate after the resist liquid is coated thereon.

Coating/developing device and method

Provided is a coating and developing apparatus composed of an assembly of plural unit blocks. A first unit-block stack and a second unit-block stack are arranged at different positions with respect to front-and-rear direction. Unit blocks for development, each of which comprises plural processing units including a developing unit that performs developing process after exposure and a transfer device that transfers a substrate among the processing units, are arranged at the lowermost level. Unit blocks for application, or coating, each of which comprises plural processing units including a coating unit that performs application process before exposure and a transfer device that transfers a substrate among the processing units, are arranged above the unit blocks for development. Unit blocks for application are arranged in both the first and second unit-block stacks. Unit blocks for application which a wafer goes through are determined depending on the layering positional relationship between an antireflective film and a resist film. An exposed wafer goes only through the unit block for development without going through any one of the unit blocks for application.
