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.

2. An information processing device 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 recognize the contact operation and the approach operation as related inputs, wherein the control unit is further configured to control execution of a predetermined process based on a predetermined contact operation detected by the contact detection unit when the approach detection unit detects a respective predetermined approach operation, the predetermined process comprising changing a characteristic of a displayed item corresponding to the contact operation according to the approach operation. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)
