Information processing apparatus, method for controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a touch position detection unit configured to detect a touch position indicated by an operation object in contact with an input target surface;
• a proximity position detection unit configured to detect a proximity position indicated by an operation object in proximity to the input target surface;
• and
• a recognition unit configured to recognize that an operation object has input a flick operation, based on a condition to be satisfied by a movement amount of the proximity position detected after the touch position becomes undetected by the touch position detection unit,
• wherein the condition changes according to a movement speed of the touch position detected by the touch position detection unit before the touch position becomes undetected by the touch position detection unit.

A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• detecting a touch position indicated by an operation object in contact with an input target surface;
• detecting a proximity position indicated by an operation object in proximity to the input target surface;
• recognizing that an operation object has started a moving operation, based on a condition to be satisfied by a movement amount of the detected touch position;
• and
• changing the condition according to a movement amount of the proximity position detected before the touch position starts to be detected.
