Abstract
An information processing apparatus detects a moving member that moves in a background area and that includes an object other than a recognition target. The apparatus sets a partial area as a background undetermined area if the moving member is present in the background area and sets a partial area as a background determined area if it is regarded that the recognition target is not present in the background area in each of the partial areas set as the background undetermined area. The apparatus recognizes an operation caused by the recognition target that moves in the background determined area.
