The present technique relates to an information processing apparatus, a method, a program, and a recording medium that can prevent malfunctions. An information processing apparatus includes at least two surfaces, in which the relative position between one surface and the other surface of the two surfaces is changed. The information processing apparatus includes a detecting unit that detects that a relative position between the two surfaces is changed, from a change in a plurality of values of the sensors included in a predetermined region of at least one surface of the two surfaces. When it is detected that the relative position between the two surfaces is changed, an event is not notified to an operating system, for example, and an application is prevented from malfunctioning. The present technique is applicable to an information processing apparatus including two touch panels, for example.
