Information processing apparatus, control method therefor, program, and recording medium
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising a memory and at least one processor, the at least one processor operating as:
- a touching detection unit configured to detect at least one touching operation for touching a display unit, and a respective or corresponding touch-up operation for discontinuing the at least one touching operation on the display unit;
a display control unit configured to control the display unit to display a first display object in a first area of the display unit and to display a second display object in a second area of the display unit which is different from the first area;
a time counting unit configured to count a time period of the at least one touching operation on at least one of the first display object and the second display object of the display unit, the at least one touching operation being continuous from a beginning to an end of the at least one touching operation; and
a system control unit configured;
(a) to execute a first function, which changes a mode or a setting of the information processing apparatus, assigned to the first display object based on the touching detection unit detecting the respective or corresponding touch-up operation from the first display object on which a first touching operation of the at least one touching operation has been detected before the time period of the first touching operation on the first display object counted by the time counting unit has reached a time period threshold;
(b) to display an item regarding the first display object in response to the time period of the first touching operation on the first display object counted by the time counting unit having reached the time period threshold after the first touching operation on the first display object has been detected by the touching detection unit;
(c) to execute a second function, which changes a mode or a setting of the information processing apparatus, assigned to the second display object, based on the touching detection unit detecting the respective or corresponding touch-up operation from the second display object on which a second touching operation of the at least one touching operation has been detected regardless of whether the time period of the second touching operation on the second display object is longer than the time period threshold or not; and
(d) not to execute the first function assigned to the first display object based on the touching detection unit detecting the respective or corresponding touch-up operation from the first display object on which the first touching operation has been detected after the time period of the first touching operation on the first display object has reached the time period threshold.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a touching detection unit configured to detect a touching operation and a touch-up operation for the display unit, a time counting unit configured to count a time period of continuous touching on a specific area of the display unit, and a control unit configured, when a touch-up operation from the specific area is detected and a counted time period of continuous touching has not reached a predetermined time period, to execute a function assigned to the specific area while when the touch-up operation from the specific area is detected and the counted time period of continuous touching has reached the predetermined time period, not to execute the function assigned to the specific area in relation only to the detected touch-up operation.
