INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To distinguish, when a plurality of people can operate an operation screen, a multi-touch operation by a single user from a single-touch operation by each of a plurality of users.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus comprises detection means that detects objects approaching on a projection surface to which an image is projected from a projection part and determination means that determines the number and the direction of approach of the detected objects, and controls movements of gesture operations by the objects according to the determined number and direction of approach of the objects.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】複数人が操作画面を操作し得る状況において、１人のユーザによるマルチタッチ操作と、複数人のユーザそれぞれによるシングルタッチ操作を区別する。【解決手段】投影部から画像が投影される投影面上に進入してくる対象物を検出する検出手段と、検出した対象物の数とその進入方向を判定する判定手段とを備え、判定した対象物の数とその進入方向に応じて、対象物によるジェスチャ操作の動作を制御する。【選択図】図９
