Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an operation detecting unit which detects a predetermined operation performed on a first icon which has been dragged to a second icon, the first icon moving with movement of a pointing device, and includes a condition update unit which updates a processing condition in information processing based on the detection by the operation detecting unit. The condition update unit updates the processing condition based on the detection by the operation detecting unit and accordingly the user can update the processing condition with a simple manipulation.
