1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a first touch panel that displays a first object and detects a first touch operation of a user on the first object on a first area of the first touch panel;
a second touch panel that displays a second object and detects a second touch operation of the user on the second object on a second area of the second touch panel, wherein each of the first object and the second object is displayed at a same time as part of a third object;
a sensor disposed between the first touch panel and the second touch panel that detects an item that is present within a predetermined distance range above the sensor; and
a controller that, when the second touch operation and the first touch operation are detected within a predetermined time period of each other, determines that a user is performing the touch operations with two fingers of a same hand across the two panels on the first area of the first touch panel and the second area of the second touch panel when the item is detected by the sensor, and determines that the user is performing the touch operations with a finger of one hand on the first area of the first touch panel and a finger of another hand on the second area of the second touch panel when the item is not detected by the sensor.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first touch panel, a second touch panel, and a controller. The first touch panel displays a first object and detects a first touch operation of a user on the first object. The second touch panel displays a second object and detects a second touch operation of the user on the second object. The controller links and changes the displayed first object and the displayed second object when the second touch operation is detected within a predetermined time period since the first touch operation has been detected.

9. An information processing method, comprising:
-
displaying, by a first touch panel, a first object and detecting a first touch operation of a user on the first object on a first area of the first touch panel; displaying, by a second touch panel, a second object and detecting a second touch operation of the user on the second object on a second area of the second touch panel, wherein each of the first object and the second object is displayed at a same time as part of a third object; detecting, by a sensor disposed between the first touch panel and the second touch panel, when an item is present within a predetermined distance range above the sensor; and when the second touch operation and the first touch operation are detected within a predetermined time period of each other, determining that a user is performing the touch operations with two fingers of a same hand across the two panels on the first area of the first touch panel and the second area of the second touch panel when the item is detected by the sensor, and determining that the user is performing the touch operations with a finger of one hand on the first area of the first touch panel and a finger of another hand on the second area of the second touch panel when the item is not detected by the sensor.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus including a first touch panel and a second touch panel to execute:
-
displaying, by a first touch panel, a first object and detecting a first touch operation of a user on the first object on a first area of the first touch panel; displaying, by a second touch panel, a second object and detecting a second touch operation of the user on the second object on a second area of the second touch panel, wherein each of the first object and the second object is displayed at a same time as part of a third object; detecting, by a sensor disposed between the first touch panel and the second touch panel, when an item is present within a predetermined distance range above the sensor; and when the second touch operation and the first touch operation are detected within a predetermined time period of each other, determining that a user is performing the touch operations with two fingers of a same hand across the two panels on the first area of the first touch panel and the second area of the second touch panel when the item is detected by the sensor, and determining that the user is performing the touch operations with a finger of one hand on the first area of the first touch panel and a finger of another hand on the second area of the second touch panel when the item is not detected by the sensor.
