INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD AND CONTROL PROGRAM FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

In the present invention, a migration from a scroll mode to a pointer mode is more reliably performed with a simple operation. The present invention comprises: a display unit (14); a touch pad (16) having a detection region in a position differing from a display region; an event identification unit (21) that identifies the type of touch event on the basis of position information outputted from the touch pad (16); and a mode switching unit (23) that, when a single tap is inputted in a scroll mode that makes screen scrolling possible, switches to a pointer mode that makes object selection possible.
