1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured toidentify a position of a manipulation body in a horizontal and vertical direction in relation to a detector and a distance between the manipulation body and the detector based on an output of the detector;
control a display to highlight a first object of a plurality of objects displayed on the display based on the detected position of the manipulation body;
determine a change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over a predetermined period of time based on the output of the detector after the first object has been highlighted on the display;
execute a first process corresponding to the first object when the change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over the predetermined period of time is greater than a threshold value; and
execute a second process corresponding to the first object when the change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over the predetermined period of time is less than the threshold value.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus including a detector that detects movement of a manipulation body in a vertical direction in relation to a display, and a processor that determines a speed of movement of the manipulation body based on an output of the detector, and determines a process to be executed based on the determined speed of movement.

12. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
identifying, by circuitry of the information processing apparatus, a position of a manipulation body in a horizontal and vertical direction in relation to a detector and a distance between the manipulation body and the detector based on an output of the detector; controlling, by the circuitry, a display to highlight a first object of a plurality of objects displayed on the display based on the detected position of the manipulation body; determining, by the circuitry, a change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over a predetermined period of time based on the output of the detector after the first object has been highlighted on the display; determining, by the circuitry, to execute a first process when the change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over the predetermined period of time is greater than a threshold value; and determining, by the circuitry, to execute a second process corresponding to the first object when the change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over the predetermined period of time is less than the threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to:
-
identify a position of a manipulation body in a horizontal and vertical direction in relation to a detector and a distance between the manipulation body and the detector based on an output of the detector; control a display to highlight a first object of a plurality of objects displayed on the display based on the detected position of the manipulation body; determine a change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over a predetermined period of time based on the output of the detector after the first object has been highlighted on the display; execute a first process corresponding to the first object when the change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over the predetermined period of time is greater than a threshold value; and execute a second process corresponding to the first object when the change in distance between the manipulation body and the detector over the predetermined period of time is less than the threshold value.
