INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

An information processing apparatus includes a touch position detection unit configured to detect a touch position indicated by an operation object in contact with an input target surface, a proximity position detection unit configured to detect a proximity position indicated by an operation object in proximity to the input target surface, and a recognition unit configured to recognize that an operation object has started a moving operation, based on a condition to be satisfied by a movement amount of the touch position detected by the touch position detection unit. The condition changes according to a movement amount of the proximity position detected by the proximity position detection unit before the touch position detection unit starts to detect the touch position.
