  • Publication number: 20160334922
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: an operation receiver capable of receiving a plurality of gesture operations; and a controller including a microprocessor and configured to perform a control for reflecting a gesture operation on a screen on a basis of an output from the operation receiver. The controller sets a threshold value of a determination index for determining whether the gesture operation is valid for each of the gesture operations, provides a measured value of the determination index of a gesture operation received by the operation receiver and compares the measured value with the threshold value to determine whether the gesture operation is valid, reflects the valid gesture operation on the screen, and variably sets a threshold value corresponding to a gesture operation other than the valid gesture operation in accordance with an execution state of the gesture operation received by the operation receiver.
