Abstract:
An information processing apparatus including a display unit configured to display a virtual keyboard and a character representation area for displaying a character, a detection unit configured to detect a touch input to the virtual keyboard, and a control unit configured to display a character in the character representation area according to the detected touch input to the virtual keyboard, wherein when the detection unit detects a sliding operation starting from a predetermined key of the virtual keyboard, the control unit selects from among characters displayed in the character representation area at least one character according to the number of characters determined by a distance between the predetermined key and a touch position of the sliding operation and then deletes the selected character when the detention unit detects that the sliding operation is completed.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus detects contact of a finger with a capacitive panel. The information processing apparatus, when the contact of the finger is detected, measures a midpoint at an equal distance from either end of a contact region where the finger is in contact with the capacitive panel, and measures a centroid of an area of the contact region. The information processing apparatus executes operation depending on a distance between the measured midpoint of the contact region and the measured centroid of the area of the contact region.
