1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a detection unit to detect a position of an object touching a touch-sensitive part as a touched position; a recognition unit to recognize a type of at least one finger touching said touch-sensitive part based on said touched position and on an image of said touch-sensitive part; a search unit to search through a function table defining a correspondence between the touched position of at least one finger and the type thereof on the one hand and a function assigned to the combination of the touched position and the type of the at least one finger on the other hand, said search unit searching said function table for the function corresponding to said touched position detected by said detection unit and to the finger type detected by said recognition unit,
wherein:
different functions are assigned to the same touched position depending on the detected type of the at least one finger touching the same touched position,the detected same finger type corresponds to a same function out of the different functions assigned to the same touched position,upon determining that multiple fingers are placed joined with each other onto said touch-sensitive part, a same function is assigned to the joined multiple fingers, andupon determining that the multiple fingers are placed separated from each other onto said touch-sensitive part, a unique and different function is assigned to each of the multiple fingers; a display control unit to display an image of function information representative of the assigned function at a position corresponding to the at least one finger so that the image of function information overlaps the at least one finger; and an execution unit for executing said function detected through the search by said search unit. |
