1. An information processing device comprising:
- a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact operation for an operation surface;
an approach detection unit configured to detect an approach operation for the operation surface; and
a control unit configured to recognize the contact operation and the approach operation as a series of operation inputs when the contact operation and the approach operation are continuously detected,wherein the control unit is further configured to control execution of a predetermined process based on a predetermined contact operation detected by the contact detection unit and to continue to execute the same predetermined process after the predetermined contact operation has stopped and when the approach detection unit detects a respective predetermined approach operation within a predetermined time after the predetermined contact operation, in which the predetermined contact operation is a moving operation such that contact on the operation surface is moved and the respective predetermined approach operation is a hold in place above the operation surface operation such that movement relative to the operation surface is not performed.

7. An operation input method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a contact operation for an operation surface by a contact detection unit; detecting an approach operation for the operation surface by an approach detection unit; recognizing the contact operation and the approach operation as a series of operation inputs when the contact operation and the approach operation are continuously detected; and controlling execution of a predetermined process based on a predetermined contact operation detected by the detecting a contact operation step and continuing execution of the same predetermined process after the predetermined contact operation has stopped and when the detecting an approach step detects a respective predetermined approach operation within a predetermined time after the predetermined contact operation, in which the predetermined contact operation is a moving operation such that contact on the operation surface is moved and the respective predetermined approach operation is a hold in place above the operation surface operation such that movement relative to the operation surface is not performed.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon an operation input program to enable an information processing device to perform an operation input method, said method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a contact operation for an operation surface of an operation unit by a contact detection unit and detecting an approach operation for the operation surface by an approach detection unit; recognizing the contact operation and the approach operation as a series of operation inputs when the contact operation and the approach operation are continuously detected in the detecting the contact detection operation and the detecting the approach detection operation; and controlling execution of a predetermined process based on a predetermined contact operation detected by the detecting a contact operation step and continuing execution of the same predetermined process after the predetermined contact operation has stopped and when the detecting an approach step detects a respective predetermined approach operation within a predetermined time after the predetermined contact operation, in which the predetermined contact operation is a moving operation such that contact on the operation surface is moved and the respective predetermined approach operation is a hold in place above the operation surface operation such that movement relative to the operation surface is not performed.
