1. An information processing system, comprising:
- a display; and
a processor configured to;
detect finger contact points on a touch pad for a period of time; and
while detecting finger contact points on the touch pad for the period of time;
when the number of detected finger contact points is one;
(i) set or maintain a Control-Display (CD) ratio, which is the amount of movement of a cursor on the display with respect to an amount of movement of the one detected finger contact point on the touch pad, to a first setting value, and (ii) cause the cursor to move on the display with movement of the one detected finger contact point, which is a first finger contact point, based on the CD ratio set to the first setting value; and
when the number of detected finger contact points on the touch pad is two;
(i) determine, based on the first detected finger contact point being an origin of an x-y axis, whether the other one of the two detected finger contact points, which is a second detected finger contact point, that is not the first detected finger contact point, is located in the first, second, third or fourth quadrants of the x-y axis, (ii) set or maintain, based on the determination regarding which of the four quadrants the detected second finger contact point is located in, the CD ratio to a second setting value, and (iii) cause the cursor to move on the display with the movement of the first detected finger contact point based on the CD ratio set to the second setting value.

Abstract
An information processing system includes a touch pad; a display unit; and a processing unit configured to move a cursor shown on a screen of the display unit, depending on an amount of movement and a movement direction of a contact point of a finger of an operator on the touch pad. The processing unit differentiates an amount of movement of the cursor with respect to the amount of the movement of the contact point, for a case where the number of the contact points on the touch pad is one, and for a case where the number of the contact points on the touch pad is two or more.

7. An information processing method, the method comprising:
-
detecting finger contact points on the touch pad for a period of time; and while detecting finger contact points for the period of time; when the number of detected finger contact points is one;
(i) setting or maintaining a Control-Display (CD) ratio, which is the amount of movement of a cursor on the display with respect to an amount of movement of the one detected finger contact point on the touch pad, to a first setting value, and (ii) causing the cursor to move on the display with movement of the one detected finger contact point, which is a first finger contact point, based on the CD ratio set to the first setting value; andwhen the number of detected finger contact points on the touch pad is two;
(i) determining, based on the first detected finger contact point being an origin of an x-y axis, whether the other one of the two detected finger contact points, which is a second detected finger contact point, that is not the first detected finger contact point, is located in the first, second, third or fourth quadrants of the x-y axis, (ii) setting or maintaining, based on the determination regarding which of the four quadrants the detected second finger contact point is located in, the CD ratio to a second setting value, and (iii) causing the cursor to move on the display with the movement of the first detected finger contact point based on the CD ratio set to the second setting value.
