1. An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
a pressure sensitive sensor configured to detect pressure applied by user inputs with a manipulation object performed on the touch screen; and
circuitry configured todetermine which of two or more input states a first user input of the user inputs belongs to by comparing the detected pressure with a threshold value for a predetermined time;
determine that the first user input belongs to a first input state of the two or more input states when the detected pressure is determined to be more than the threshold value for the predetermined time;
determine that a second user input of the user inputs after the first user input is in the first input state until the pressure is determined to be equal to or less than the threshold value after the determination that the detected pressure of the first user input is more than the threshold value for the predetermined time; and
determine that a third user input of the user inputs is in a second input state of the two or more input states after releasing of the manipulation object from the touch screen.

Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a detection unit for detecting pressure applied by user input performed on a touch screen; a determination unit for determining which of two or more input states the user input belongs to, in accordance with the pressure detected by the detection unit; and an operation control unit for enabling or disabling a limitation imposed on operation with a user interface displayed on the touch screen, in accordance with the state of the user input determined by the determination unit.

7. A method performed by an electronic device including a touch screen and a pressure sensitive sensor configured to detect pressure applied by user inputs with a manipulation object performed on the touch screen, the method comprising:
-
determining which of two or more input states a first user input of the user inputs belongs to by comparing the detected pressure with a threshold value for a predetermined time; determining that the first user input belongs to a first input state of the two or more input states when the detected pressure is determined to be more than the threshold value for the predetermined time; determining that a second user input of the user inputs after the first user input is in the first input state until the pressure is determined to be equal to or less than the threshold value after the determination that the detected pressure of the first user input is more than the threshold value for the predetermined time; and determining that a third user input of the user inputs is in a second input state of the two or more input states after releasing of the manipulation object from the touch screen. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by an electronic device including a touch screen and a pressure sensitive sensor configured to detect pressure applied by user inputs with a manipulation object performed on the touch screen, cause the electronic device to:
-
determine which of two or more input states a first user input of the user inputs belongs to by comparing the detected pressure with a threshold value for a predetermined time; determine that the first user input belongs to a first input state of the two or more input states when the detected pressure is determined to be more than the threshold value for the predetermined time; determine that a second user input of the user inputs after the first user input is in the first input state until the pressure is determined to be equal to or less than the threshold value after the determination that the detected pressure of the first user input is more than the threshold value for the predetermined time; and determine that a third user input of the user inputs is in a second input state of the two or more input states after releasing of the manipulation object from the touch screen. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
