Abstract
An information processing apparatus capable of preventing unintentional vibration from being erroneously recognized as vibration caused by a tapping operation is provided. The information processing apparatus detects acceleration caused by vibration applied thereto, determines whether the amplitude of acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor is greater than or equal to a threshold, analyzes a frequency of the acceleration data when the amplitude is greater than or equal to the threshold, and executes processing assigned to the tapping operation when the frequency analysis result indicates the tapping operation.
