1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a touch detection unit configured to detect touch of an instruction object on an operation surface and obtain a touch detection result;
a proximity detection unit configured to detect proximity of the instruction object to the operation surface and obtain a before touch proximity detection result and an after touch proximity detection result; and
a control unit determining whether the touch of the instruction object is a predetermined input operation based on a first touch detection result and at least one of a second touch detection result, a before touch proximity detection result, and an after touch proximity detection result;
wherein, when the second touch detection result is used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, a determination is made based on the second touch detection result as to whether at least one of the before touch proximity detection result and the after touch proximity detection result is also used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, andthe first touch detection result and the second touch detection result are non-simultaneous touch detection results.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a touch detection unit detecting touch of an instruction object on an operation surface; a proximity detection unit detecting proximity of the instruction object to the operation surface; and a control unit determining whether the touch of the instruction object is a predetermined input operation based on the detection result, which is obtained by the touch detection unit when the touch detection unit detects the touch of the instruction object, and at least one of the detection results, which are obtained by the proximity detection unit before and after the touch of the instruction object.

12. An input operation determination method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting touch of an instruction object on an operation surface by a touch detection unit; obtaining a touch detection result; detecting proximity of the instruction object to the operation surface by a proximity detection unit; obtaining a before touch proximity detection result and an after touch proximity detection result; and determining whether the touch of the instruction object is a predetermined input operation based on a first touch detection result and at least one of a second touch detection result, the before touch proximity detection result, and the after touch proximity detection result; wherein, when the second touch detection result is used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, a determination is made based on the second touch detection result as to whether at least one of the before touch proximity detection result and the after touch proximity detection result is also used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, and the first touch detection result and the second touch detection result are non-simultaneous touch detection results.

13. An input operation determination program stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium causing an information processing apparatus to execute the steps of:
-
detecting touch of an instruction object on an operation surface by a touch detection unit; obtaining a touch detection result; detecting proximity of the instruction object to the operation surface by a proximity detection unit; obtaining a before touch proximity detection result and an after touch proximity detection result; and determining whether the touch of the instruction object is a predetermined input operation based on a first touch detection result and at least one of a second touch detection result, the before touch proximity detection result, and the after touch proximity detection result; wherein, when the second touch detection result is used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, a determination is made based on the second touch detection result as to whether at least one of the before touch proximity detection result and the after touch proximity detection result is also used to determine whether the touch of the instruction object is the predetermined input operation, and the first touch detection result and the second touch detection result are non-simultaneous touch detection results.
