Information processing apparatus and control method for controller apparatus

An information processing apparatus to be connected to a controller apparatus including a push button that moves between a first position and a second position by being pushed by a user with a finger, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• an acquisition unit for acquiring a push-in amount of the push button;
• a determination unit for determining whether or not the push-in amount is in a range that excludes the first position and the second position and that is set by two threshold values set between the first position and the second position;
• and
• a process execution unit for executing a predetermined process, based on a result of the determination.

A method for controlling a controller apparatus that causes an information processing apparatus that is to be connected to the controller apparatus including a push button that moves between a first position and a second position by being pushed by a user with a finger, to execute:

• acquiring a push-in amount of the push button by an acquisition unit of the information processing apparatus;
• determining, by a determination unit, whether or not the push-in amount is in a range that excludes the first position and the second position and that is set by two threshold values set between the first position and the second position;
• and
• executing, by a process executing unit, a predetermined process, based on a result of the determination.
