INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a detection section configured to detect contact of an operating object with and proximity of the operating object to a display surface of a display section on which objects classified into groups in accordance with a relationship between the objects are displayed;
a proximity determination section configured to determine a degree of proximity of the operating object to the display surface based on a detection result obtained by the detection section; and
an operation-lock determination section configured, when the proximity determination section determines that the operating object touches the display surface, to disable an operation input to an object belonging to a group different from a group which an object that the operating object touches belongs to, until the operating object is positioned outside a proximity detection region, the proximity detection region being a region from the display surface to positions which are a predetermined distance away therefrom.

Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a detection section configured to detect contact/proximity of an operating object with/to a display surface of a display section on which objects classified into groups in accordance with a relationship between the objects are displayed, a proximity determination section configured to determine a degree of proximity of the operating object to the display surface based on a detection result obtained by the detection section, and an operation-lock determination section configured, when the proximity determination section determines that the operating object touches the display surface, to disable an operation input to an object belonging to a group different from a group which an object that the operating object touches belongs to, until the operating object is positioned outside a proximity detection region, the proximity detection region being a region from the display surface to positions which are a predetermined distance away therefrom.

10. An information processing method comprising:
-
detecting, by a detection section, contact of an operating object with and proximity of the operating object to a display surface of a display section on which objects classified into groups in accordance with a relationship between the objects are displayed; determining, by a proximity determination section, a degree of proximity of the operating object to the display surface based on a detection result obtained by the detection section; and disabling, when the proximity determination section determines that the operating object touches the display surface, an operation input to an object belonging to a group different from a group which an object that the operating object touches belongs to, until the operating object is positioned outside a proximity detection region, the proximity detection region being a region from the display surface to positions which are a predetermined distance away therefrom.

11. A computer program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus which includes
a detection control section configured to cause a detection section to detect contact of an operating object with and proximity of the operating object to a display surface of a display section on which objects classified into groups in accordance with a relationship between the objects are displayed, a proximity determination section configured to determine a degree of proximity of the operating object to the display surface based on a detection result obtained by the detection section, and an operation-lock determination section configured, when the proximity determination section determines that the operating object touches the display surface, to disable an operation input to an object belonging to a group different from a group which an object that the operating object touches belongs to, until the operating object is positioned outside a proximity detection region, the proximity detection region being a region from the display surface to positions which are a predetermined distance away therefrom.
