1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a display; and
circuitry configured to:
display a first image on the display, the first image comprising at least a second image and a plurality of third images, the second image being displayed in a first size and being displayed in a first area on the display, the plurality of third images each being displayed in a second size smaller than the first size and each being displayed in a unit of a group in a second area on the display,
determine a contact size and a contact position of an object on the display in response to a touch operation input by the object on the display,
in a case that the object is a human finger, determine and perform a process depending on the contact position, the process being one of: a first process in a case that the object is the human finger and the contact position is determined to be in the first area, the first process corresponding to the second image, and a second process in a case that the object is the human finger and the contact position is determined to be in the second area, the second process corresponding to selecting the second area and displaying the plurality of third images enlarged, and
in a case that the object is a human hand, perform a third process, the third process corresponding to displaying at least a portion of the first image with display magnification.
