a storage for storing a plurality of thumbnail images that can be displayed on the display and a plurality of identifiers that respectively correspond to the thumbnail images in such a manner that respective thumbnail images and respective identifiers are associated with each other, wherein

the processor displays, on the display, an identifier corresponding to any one of displayed thumbnail images without changing the thumbnail images displayed on the display when the processor detects the touch operation and a movement from a touch position by a predetermined distance, wherein

the processor changes the identifier in accordance with movement information of the pan operation and displays the identifier at a fixed position in a screen of en the display, when the processor detects the pan operation upon detecting the touch operation, wherein

the processor reads, from the storage, a thumbnail image corresponding to the identifier displayed on the display and displays the thumbnail image on the display, when the processor detects an end of the pan operation, wherein

the processor displays a bar on the display when the processor detects the pan operation so that the entire bar moves in accordance with the movement information of the pan operation, wherein the processor displays the identifier inside the bar at a fix position in the screen of the display, wherein

each of a plurality of positions in the bar is assigned with a respective one of the plurality of identifiers stored in the storage, and wherein

the processor moves the entire bar so that a position in the bar assigned with the identifier that is changed in accordance with the movement information of the pan operation is located at the fixed position.

2. The thumbnail image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the movement information of the pan operation includes a moving direction and a moving distance of the pan operation.

3. The thumbnail image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor further detects a flick operation performed by the user with the display,

the processor displays, on the display, an identifier corresponding to any one of displayed thumbnail images without changing the thumbnail images displayed on the display when the processor detects the touch operation and the movement,

the processor changes the identifier in accordance with the movement information of the flick operation and displays the identifier on the display, when the processor detects the flick operation upon detecting the touch operation, and

the processor reads, from the storage, the thumbnail image corresponding to the identifier displayed on the display and displays the thumbnail image on the display, when changing and displaying of the identifier in conjunction with the flick operation is completed.

4. The thumbnail image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor displays, at the corresponding position in the bar, an identifier that is changed in accordance with the movement information of the pan operation.

5. The thumbnail image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor displays an identifier corresponding to a thumbnail image in association with the thumbnail image, when the processor displays the thumbnail image on the display.

detecting an operation including a touch operation and a pan operation performed by a user with the display;

displaying, on the display, an identifier corresponding to any one of displayed thumbnail images without changing thumbnail images displayed on the display when the touch operation and a movement from a touch position by a predetermined distance are detected;

changing the identifier in accordance with movement information of the pan operation and displaying the identifier at a fixed position in a screen of en the display, when the pan operation is detected upon detecting the touch operation;

displaying, on the display, a thumbnail image corresponding to the identifier displayed on the display, when an end of the pan operation is detected; and

displaying a bar on the display, when the pan operation is detected so that the entire bar moves in accordance with the movement information of the pan operation, wherein the identifier is displayed inside the bar at a fix position in the screen of the display, wherein

each of a plurality of positions in the bar is assigned with a respective one of the plurality of identifiers stored in the storage, and wherein

the entire bar is moved so that a position in the bar assigned with the identifier that is changed in accordance with the movement information of the pan operation is located at the fixed position.
