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

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.
