There is provided an information processing device that can detect the inclination of an input device through a simple operation while preventing the input device from increasing in size, the information processing device including: a data acquisition unit configured to acquire, as detection data, output values or gains of a first sensor and a second sensor which are each capable of detecting contact with or approach to an input device; and an inclination detection unit configured to detect inclination of the input device on the basis of a difference value between the detection data of the first sensor and the detection data of the second sensor.

To improve determination accuracy for validity of input performed through operation with respect to an operation surface. An information processing apparatus includes an operation detecting unit configured to detect a contact area where each of one or two or more objects contacting an operation surface contacts the operation surface, a determining unit configured to determine contact between the object and the operation surface as valid input or invalid input based on comparison between the contact area and a threshold, and a threshold setting unit configured to dynamically set the threshold.
