INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a touch panel that detects a contact operation and a contactless operation of an operation element by detecting an electrostatic capacitance of an operation surface of the touch panel; and
a controller thatdetermines whether an application activated at the information processing apparatus supports contactless operations;
controls the application based only on contact operations detected at the touch panel when is determined that the application does not support contactless operations; and
controls the application based on both contact operations and contactless operations detected at the touch panel when it is determined that the application supports contactless operations.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprising: a touch panel that detects a contact operation and a contactless operation of an operation element by detecting an electrostatic capacitance of an operation surface of the touch panel; and a controller that determines whether an application activated at the information processing apparatus supports contactless operations; controls the application based only on contact operations detected at the touch panel when is determined that the application does not support contactless operations; and controls the application based on both contact operations and contactless operations detected at the touch panel when it is determined that the application supports contactless operations.

18. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus including a touch panel that detects a contact operation and a contactless operation of an operation element by detecting an electrostatic capacitance of an operation surface of the touch panel, the method comprising:
-
determining whether an application activated at the information processing apparatus supports contactless operations; controlling the application based only on contact operations detected at the touch panel when is determined that the application does not support contactless operations; and controlling the application based on both contact operations and contactless operations detected at the touch panel when it is determined that the application supports contactless operations.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus including a touch panel that detects a contact operation and a contactless operation of an operation element by detecting an electrostatic capacitance of an operation surface of the touch panel, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
determining whether an application activated at the information processing apparatus supports contactless operations; controlling the application based only on contact operations detected at the touch panel when is determined that the application does not support contactless operations; and controlling the application based on both contact operations and contactless operations detected at the touch panel when it is determined that the application supports contactless operations.
