Abstract
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.
