Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an operation unit equipped with a touch screen disposed on a display device. Coordinate information indicating a detected touch position is output from the touch screen to a CPU. The CPU sequentially stores coordinate information about respective touch positions in a memory. The CPU determines whether there is any change in a moving direction of the touch position, with reference to a history of the touch positions. If it is determined that the moving direction of the touch position has changed, the CPU invalidates the touch position detected after determination of the change until action of a touch-up operation.
