Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a display with a touch panel, a camera and an image recognition module. The image recognition module recognizes a type of an object used for inputting to the touch panel in an image acquired by the camera. The image recognition module comprises a first narrowing module and a second narrowing module. The first narrowing module extracts an image to be used for recognizing the type of the object from acquired images based on timing information indicating timing of the inputting. The second narrowing module selects a recognition range to be used for recognizing the type of the object from a photographing region of the extracted image based on positional information indicating an input position on the touch panel. The timing information and the positional information is included in the input information obtained from the touch panel.
