1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an operation surface configured to receive touch inputs;
a sensor unit configured to detect at least one right-side touch input from a manipulation by a user of the operation surface within a first operational area of the operation surface, and at least one left-side touch input from a manipulation by the user of the operation surface within a second operational area of the operation surface, anda click switch which detects a pressing operation,wherein the first operational area and the second operational area of the operation surface are mapped to a graphical user interface (GUI) area of a display device,wherein the first operational area of the operation surface is mapped to a left side area of the GUI area of the display device, and the second operational area of the operation surface is mapped to a right side area of the GUI area of the display device,wherein the GUI area comprises an on-screen keyboard (OSK), and a letter of the OSK is determined based on the pressing operation,wherein a first preview letter associated with the at least one right-side touch input and a second preview letter associated with the at least one left-side touch input are concurrently displayed, as candidates for the determined letter, in a preview display of the display device,wherein the first preview letter is displayed in the preview display within a first predefined display area different than the OSK and dedicated to the displaying of the first preview letter, and the second preview letter is displayed in the preview display within a second predefined display area different than the OSK and dedicated to the displaying of the second preview letter, the second predefined display area being located directly adjacent to the first predefined display area, andwherein the sensor unit is implemented via at least one processor.
