1. A digital image processing device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
identify a gesture of a user based on data output from a sensor; and
control a display to perform a zoom operation on an image displayed by the display based on a degree of a center angle of a curved path corresponding to the entire gesture, the curved path corresponding to a part of a circle, whereina zoom ratio of the zoom operation corresponds to the degree of the center angle of the curved path,a center of the zoom operation in the image with respect to the display remains constant from before to after the zoom operation,the gesture includes a continuous touch operation of the user including a plurality of distinct touch positions on the display and along the curved path,when a center point of the curved path is at a center point of the image, the zoom operation is an optical zoom, andwhen the center point of the curved path is displaced from the center point of the image, the zoom operation is a digital zoom.

Abstract
A digital image processing device is provided that improves operability when performing a scaling up/scaling down operation. Based on a single trajectory when a touch position on a display screen of a display portion moves, a center point and ratio used to scale up or scale down the image are set. In this way, for example, it is possible to scale up and scale down the image by an easy touch operation of simply tracing the trajectory with a single finger (namely, by a single-touch operation).
