Information processing apparatus and control method

The invention provides an information processing apparatus and a control method. Confidentiality and privacy are protected, and a virtual input device with high degree of freedom is realized. The information processing apparatus includes: a display unit; a touch sensing unit that is disposed on the display unit and that detects contact with an object on the display unit; a main system that executes OS-based processing; and an embedded system which is an independent system different from the main system, generates image data for an input region of the virtual input device, and outputs the image data of the input region to the main system using a general-purpose interface protected by the main system. Input information based on detection information detected in the input area by the touch sensing unit is used as input information accepted by the virtual input device and is output to the main system by using the general-purpose interface protected by the main system, and the main system displays the image data o
