INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus in which a specific process is associated to a specific vibration applied to a housing of the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an acceleration sensor configured to detect acceleration caused by the vibration; and
a control unit configured to execute the specific processing corresponding to the specific vibration when acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor does not satisfy a specific condition and the acceleration sensor detects acceleration data showing the specific vibration, and not execute the specific processing corresponding to the specific vibration when the acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor satisfies the specific condition and the acceleration sensor detects the acceleration data showing the specific vibration.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus capable of preventing unintentional vibration from being erroneously recognized as vibration caused by a tapping operation is provided. The information processing apparatus detects acceleration caused by vibration applied thereto, determines whether the amplitude of acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor is greater than or equal to a threshold, analyzes a frequency of the acceleration data when the amplitude is greater than or equal to the threshold, and executes processing assigned to the tapping operation when the frequency analysis result indicates the tapping operation.
