Abstract
Disclosed is an information processing apparatus for data input in which input and editing can be performed through a simple operation, the apparatus having a coordinate input device and a display device and being operable in a drawing mode and an editing mode. The apparatus includes determination means for determining whether a change in coordinate data has occurred while drawing processing is being executed based upon coordinate data that has been input from the coordinate input device in the drawing mode, and control means for exercising control so as to transition to the editing mode if the determination means has determined that a state in which there is no change in coordinate data has continued for a preset period of time.
