There is provided an information processing apparatus including a contact detection unit capable of detecting a plurality of contact coordinates on an operation surface, and outputting a contact detection signal as a detection result, a load detection unit for detecting a load applied to the operation surface, and a coordinate estimation unit, wherein when a load detection result provided by the load detection unit satisfies a pressed coordinate retrieval condition, the coordinate estimation unit estimates a pressed coordinate from among the plurality of contact coordinates on the operation surface, on the basis of at least the contact detection signal.
