Information Processing Apparatus and Estimating Method
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an operation display unit for displaying a display screen and detecting an operation location on the display screen based upon a user operation on the display screen;
a pressure detecting unit including a plurality of pressure sensors for detecting a pressure value according to the user operation on the operation display unit for each of the plurality of pressure sensors;
an operation type determining unit for determining a type of the user operation, based upon a detection result from the operation display unit;
a deriving unit for selectively deriving a barycentric location on the display screen based upon detection results from the plurality of pressure sensors, based upon a determination result from the operation type determining unit; and
an estimating unit for estimating a pressure value on the operation location, based upon a derivation result from the deriving unit and upon information of barycentric location candidates in which information of a combination of pressure values on a plurality of locations on the display screen is recorded in correspondence with information of the barycentric location.

8. An information processing method comprising the steps of:
-
determining a type of a user operation, based upon a detection result from an operation display unit for displaying a display screen and detecting an operation location on the display screen based upon a user operation on the display screen; deriving selectively a barycentric location on the display screen based upon detection results from a plurality of pressure sensors for each detecting a pressure value according to the user operation on the display screen, based upon a determination result from the step of determining; and estimating a pressure value on the operation location, based upon a derivation result from the step of deriving and upon information of barycentric location candidates in which information of a combination of pressure values on a plurality of locations on the display screen is recorded in correspondence with information of the barycentric location.
