INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display control unit which displays an image at a display unit;
a closeness value acquisition unit which acquires a closeness value regarding contact or closeness between an operation entity and a surface of the display unit;
an area detection unit which performs a ternary process to the closeness value and detects a first area and a second area being different from the first area in accordance with the ternary-processed closeness value; and
a centroid position calculation unit which calculates respective centroid positions of the first area and the second area.

Abstract
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus enables the operation such that the relation between the image displayed on the display unit and the operation of the user is close to the actual operation and an information processing method. The information processing apparatus includes a display control unit which displays an image at a display unit, a closeness value acquisition unit which acquires a closeness value regarding contact or closeness between an operation entity and a surface of the display unit, an area detection unit which performs a ternary process to the closeness value and detects a first area and a second area being different from the first area in accordance with the ternary-processed closeness value, and a centroid position calculation unit which calculates respective centroid positions of the first area and the second area.
