Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program

An information processing method executed by an apparatus having a non-volatile memory, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting an object in a predetermined detection space;
• detecting a three-dimensional position of the object detected by the control detection step;
• setting, if the object has approached a control detection circuitry such that a distance between the object and the control detection circuitry, on the basis of a three-dimensional position detected by the position detection step, is less than a threshold value set to a predetermined value representing a first distance between a first threshold position in the predetermined detection space and the control detection circuitry, the threshold value to a value representing a second distance between a second threshold position in the predetermined detection space and the control detection circuitry, the second distance being greater than the first distance;
• changing, if the object has approached the control detection circuitry such that the distance between the object and the control detection circuitry is less than the threshold value set by the threshold value setting step, or if the object has departed from the control detection circuitry such that the distance between the object and the control detection circuitry is greater than the threshold value set by the threshold value setting step, setting values for predetermined processing;
• and
• executing the processing by use of the setting values set by the setting change step.

An information processing program stored in a non-volatile memory, the program configured to make a computer execute the steps of:

• detecting an object in a predetermined detection space;
• detecting a three-dimensional position of the object detected by the control detection step;
• setting, if the object has approached a control detection circuitry such that a distance between the object and the control detection circuitry, on the basis of a three-dimensional position detected by the position detection step, is less than a threshold value set to a predetermined value representing a first distance between a first threshold position in the predetermined detection space and the control detection circuitry, the threshold value to a value representing a second distance between a second threshold position in the predetermined detection space and the control detection circuitry, the second distance being greater than the first distance;
• changing, if the object has approached the control detection circuitry such that the distance between the object and the control detection circuitry is less than the threshold value set by the threshold value setting step, or if the object has departed from the control detection circuitry such that the distance between the object and the control detection circuitry is greater than the threshold value set by the threshold value setting step, setting values for predetermined processing;
• and
• executing the processing by use of the setting values set by the setting change step.
