Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a detection unit for detecting pressure applied by user input performed on a touch screen; a determination unit for determining which of two or more input states the user input belongs to, in accordance with the pressure detected by the detection unit; and an operation control unit for enabling or disabling a limitation imposed on operation with a user interface displayed on the touch screen, in accordance with the state of the user input determined by the determination unit.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- detect a pressure of an input applied to a touch screen;
- enable a limitation in response to a first pressure input;
- determine a second pressure input, which is subsequent to the first pressure input, as an input with the limitation enabled in a case that the second pressure input satisfies a predetermined condition;
- disable the limitation in response to the second pressure input in a case that the second pressure input does not satisfy the predetermined condition;
- and
- control a display to display a graphic indicia when the limitation is enabled.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to:
- detect a pressure of an input applied to a touch screen;
- enable a limitation in response to a first pressure input;
- determine a second pressure input, which is subsequent to the first pressure input, as an input with the limitation enabled in a case that the second pressure input satisfies a predetermined condition;
- disable the limitation in response to the second pressure input in a case that the second pressure input does not satisfy the predetermined condition;
- and
- control a display to display a graphic indicia when the limitation is enabled.
A method comprising:
- detecting a pressure of an input applied to a touch screen;
- enabling a limitation in response to a first pressure input;
- determining a second pressure input, which is subsequent to the first pressure input, as an input with the limitation enabled in a case that the second pressure input satisfies a predetermined condition;
- disabling the limitation in response to the second pressure input in a case that the second pressure input does not satisfy the predetermined condition;
- and
- controlling a display to display a graphic indicia when the limitation is enabled.
