Abstract
An apparatus includes an operation unit configured to detect a position of an object being present perpendicular to a screen and receive, in a case where the position of the object being present perpendicular to the screen satisfies a first condition, a non-contact input based on the position of the object, wherein, in a case where the position of the object being present perpendicular to the screen satisfies a second condition of being present closer to the screen than a position specified in the first condition, the operation unit issues a warning without prohibiting an input based on the position of the object.
