INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a detecting unit detecting a pressing force applied by an operating body that presses a surface of a display unit displaying a plurality of input regions operated by the operating body; and
a region control unit operable when it has been determined from a detection result of the detecting unit that the operating body has pressed one of the input regions with a pressing force that is equal to or above a predetermined value, to enlarge the input region being pressed by the operating body and to move at least one of the input regions so that adjacent input regions do not overlap one another.

14. A program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus comprising
an area calculating unit calculating an area of an operating body in accordance with a state of the operating body with respect to a surface of a display unit displaying a plurality of input regions operated by the operating body; - and
a region control unit operable when it has been determined that the area of the operating body calculated by the area calculating unit is equal to or above a predetermined value, to enlarge one of the input regions that is being indicated by the operating body and to move at least one of the input regions so that adjacent input regions do not overlap one another.
