Abstract
Conventionally, when an input operation is recognized based on a three-dimensional measurement of user's hands, it was difficult to discriminate whether a plurality of detected hands is a pair of hands of a user or a plurality of users. An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes an image acquiring unit configured to acquire information about an image capturing a space on an operation surface, a position identifying unit configured to identify the position where each of a plurality of objects to be used for an operational input has entered into the space based on information about the acquired image, and an association unit configured to identify a combination of a plurality of objects based on the position identified for each of the plurality of objects and associate the combined plurality of objects with each other.
