Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

摘要

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a reception section which receives contact position information indicating a contact position of an operating tool on a contact surface, a cursor position control section which decides pre-movement position information indicating a position on a display surface of a cursor before being moved based on the contact position information. The reception section further receives an operating tool-movement vector indicating a direction in which and a distance by which the operating tool moves on the contact surface from the contact position while being in contact with the contact surface. The cursor position control section calculates a cursor-movement vector based on the operating tool-movement vector, and decides post-movement position information indicating a position of the cursor after being moved on a basis of the pre-movement position information and in accordance with the cursor-movement vector.
