Abstract
An information processing system includes: a sensor unit that performs detection of contact of a pen-shaped input device with an operation target surface and presence of the pen-shaped input device within a detection limit distance on the operation target surface; a sound output unit that outputs a sound corresponding to input sound data; and a sound output control unit that inputs silent sound data to the sound output unit in response to the sensor unit detecting a first state in which the pen-shaped input device is detected within the detection limit distance, and inputs audible sound data to the sound output unit in response to the sensor unit detecting that, after the first state, a second state in which the pen-shaped input device is in contact with the operation target surface has been reached.
