1. An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
determine, as an first determination based on an output of a sensor, when an instruction object is within a predetermined distance of a surface of a display;
determine, based the sensor output and the first determination result, a grip pattern corresponding to a position of one or more of a finger and a thumb on a user'"'"'s hand with respect to the display surface; and
execute a predetermined function or process based on the determined grip pattern.

Abstract
An apparatus includes circuitry configured to determine, based on an output of a sensor, that an instruction object is within a predetermined distance of a surface of a display. The circuitry may be configured to determine, based the sensor output, a grip pattern corresponding to a position of one or more of a finger and a thumb on a user'"'"'s hand with respect to the display surface. The circuitry may be configured to execute a predetermined function or process based on the determined grip pattern.

19. A method of executing a predetermined function or process on a mobile device including a display, the method comprising:
-
determining, as a first determination, by circuitry based on an output of a sensor, that an instruction object is within a predetermined distance of a surface of the display; determining, by the circuitry based the sensor output and the first determination result, a grip pattern corresponding to a position of one or more of a finger and a thumb on a user'"'"'s hand with respect to the display surface; and executing, by the circuitry, the predetermined function or process based on the determined grip pattern.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein that when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to execute a method comprising:
-
determining, as a first determination based on an output of a sensor, that an instruction object is within a predetermined distance of a surface of a display; determining, based the sensor output and the first determination result, a grip pattern corresponding to a position of one or more of a finger and a thumb on a user'"'"'s hand with respect to the display surface; and executing the predetermined function or process based on the determined grip pattern.
