1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact operation for an operation surface;
an approach detection unit configured to detect an approach operation for the operation surface; and
a control unit configured to control;
recognizing the detected approach operation as a respective operation input and issuing a respective command corresponding thereto, andrecognizing the detected approach operation and the detected contact operation as a related operation input when the detected contact operation is detected within a predetermined time after detection of the approach operation and issuing a combination command corresponding thereto to cause another operation to be executed which is different from each of (i) a first operation which would be executed in response to recognition of the detected contact operation individually and (ii) a second operation which would be executed in response to recognition of the detected approach operation individually, the first operation being different from the second operation,wherein the combination command causes the another operation to be executed, in response to a combination of user operations.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an information processing device including a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact operation for an operation surface, an approach detection unit configured to detect an approach operation for the operation surface, and a control unit configured to recognize the contact operation and the approach operation as a series of operation inputs when the contact operation and the approach operation are continuously detected.

10. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact operation for an operation surface; an approach detection unit configured to detect an approach operation for the operation surface; and a control unit configured to control; recognizing the detected approach operation as a respective operation input and issuing a respective command corresponding thereto, recognizing the detected approach operation and the detected contact operation as a related operation input when the detected contact operation is detected within a predetermined time after detection of the approach operation and issuing a combination command corresponding thereto to cause another operation to be executed which is different from that of the detected contact operation or the detected approach operation, recognizing the detected contact operation and the detected approach operation as individual operation inputs when the contact operation and the approach operation are continuously detected after exceeding the predetermined time, execution of a predetermined process based on a predetermined contact operation detected by the contact detection unit, and a process of restoring to a state before the execution of the predetermined process when the approach detection unit detects a predetermined approach operation within a predetermined time from the detection of the predetermined contact operation, wherein the combination command causes the another operation to be executed, in response to a combination of user operations.

11. An information processing method comprising:
-
detecting a contact operation for an operation surface; detecting an approach operation for the operation surface; recognizing the detected approach operation as a respective operation input and issuing a respective command corresponding thereto; and recognizing the detected approach operation and the detected contact operation as a related operation input when the detected contact operation is detected within a predetermined time after detection of the approach operation and issuing a combination command corresponding thereto to cause another operation to be executed which is different from each of (i) a first operation which would be executed in response to recognition of the detected contact operation individually and (ii) a second operation which would be executed in response to recognition of the detected approach operation individually, the first operation being different from the second operation, wherein the combination command causes the another operation to be executed, in response to a combination of user operations.

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store a program, the program comprising:
-
detecting a contact operation for an operation surface; detecting an approach operation for the operation surface; recognizing the detected approach operation as a respective operation input and issuing a respective command corresponding thereto; and recognizing the detected approach operation and the detected contact operation as a related operation input when the detected contact operation is detected within a predetermined time after detection of the approach operation and issuing a combination command corresponding thereto to cause another operation to be executed which is different from each of (i) a first operation which would be executed in response to recognition of the detected contact operation individually and (ii) a second operation which would be executed in response to recognition of the detected approach operation individually, the first operation being different from the second operation, wherein the combination command causes the another operation to be executed, in response to a combination of user operations.
