If it is true that 'the thumbnails included in the designated area are all displayed in the selected style' (S, Yes), the thumbnails included in the designated area are all displayed in unselected style (S), and the status is set to unselected state (S). If the gesture is continuously changed to a pinch-out gesture or a pinch-in gesture (S, No), the selected area or the unselected area are expanded or reduced depending on the status (S, S).
