Abstract
To switch a coordinate mode by automatically recognizing a coordinate mode more usable for a user performing a natural operation, a coordinate determination apparatus () according to the present invention includes: an obtain and store unit () which obtains coordinate information from a coordinate input device () and stores the coordinate information onto a recording medium; a time correlation specifying unit () which specifies a correlation between times of input indicated by first and second coordinate information; a coordinate correlation specifying unit () which specifies input coordinates indicated by the second and third coordinate information; a coordinate mode selection unit () which selects the coordinate mode based on a coordinate correlation value and a time correlation value; and a coordinate transform unit () which transforms the input coordinates indicated by the second coordinate information into coordinates selected according to the coordinate mode.
