  • Patent number: 11768561
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a touchscreen display that detects, as a detection position, contact of an object on a screen of the touchscreen display and a processor coupled to the touchscreen display. The processor is programmed to acquire a plurality of first detection positions on the screen, calculate a movement parameter representing a movement of the object during the detection of the plurality of first detection positions, and select based on the movement parameter a first smoothing algorithm or a second smoothing algorithm. The first smoothing algorithm and the second smoothing algorithm are different from each other in a processing delay between detecting a particular detection position and output a smoothed detection position corresponding to that particular detecting position. The touchscreen display displays a movement locus on the screen based on the selected smoothing algorithm.
