1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

  • circuitry configured to;

    detect a position of an operating tool pressing a screen;

    detect pressure intensity of the operating tool;

    detect a movement of the operating tool based on information on the detected position;

    count a number of repetitions of a cycle of changes in the pressure intensity;

    measure a time period of the pressure intensity after increase is maintained, wherein a specific function is determined from a plurality of different specific functions based on a length of the measured time period; and

    provide the specific function from the plurality of different specific functions based on both the detected pressure intensity and the counted number of repetitions;

    provide, in a case of the measured time period is a first predetermined length, one of (1) a function of translating a character string specified as a translation target into a different language than the language of the character string depending on the number of the repetitions counted and (2) a function of searching, with a specified character string as a search target, information on one search engine depending on the number of the repetitions counted; and

    cancel, in a case of the time period measured is a second predetermined length, performing one of (1) the translation operation on the character string specified as a translation target and (2) the search operation having the specified character string in the search target, wherein the second predetermined length is longer than the first predetermined length.
