Abstract
[Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for enabling a user to easily and accurately determine an operation state of the apparatus.
[Solution] An information processing apparatus includes a display panel 101a, a touch panel 101b for detecting a finger moving on the display panel, and a control unit 103 for designating a predetermined moving direction Dd and determining an operation state of the apparatus based on a difference between the designated moving direction Dd and a moving direction Da of the finger moving on the display panel according to the designation. When the apparatus is operated with either hand, a difference due to a finger used for the operation easily occurs between the designated moving direction and the moving direction of the finger due to a structure of the hand. When the apparatus is operated with both hands, a difference due to fingers used for the operation hardly occurs between the designated moving direction and the moving direction of the finger. An operation state of the apparatus can be determined based on the difference between the moving directions.
