performing a user interface control such that, for each time zone divided by the chronological division, a division reflection display is presented in a state in which all or some of images captured within a time zone are arranged in a first direction and each time zone is arranged in a second direction; and performing the user interface control such that, in the division reflection display, scrolling is performed in response to a first direction operation so that each image in one time zone by the chronological division moves in a first direction, and scrolling in a second direction is performed in response to a second direction operation so that each time zone by the chronological division appears. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: performing switching control between simple chronological display in which images are displayed side by side in order of time of imaging without being on a basis of the chronological division and the division reflection display. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise: performing control to alternately switch between the simple chronological display and the division reflection display in accordance with an operation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: performing division determination for a sub-event performed in a specific event. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: performing division determination for a sub-event performed in a specific event and division determination for a scene in a sub-event. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 5, wherein the user interface control performs control such that display is performed in which images are arranged in the first direction with a unit of the scene as one time zone. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: performing determination of the chronological division on a basis of a time interval of each image in chronological order of imaging time in the image group. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: performing determination of the chronological division on a basis of an image analysis result of each image in chronological order of imaging time in the image group. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: preventing a number of images arranged in the first direction from exceeding an upper limit number. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: executing division determination processing in a case where execution of the division reflection display is requested by an operation. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: requesting a confirmation as to whether or not to execute division determination in a case where execution of the division reflection display is requested by an operation. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: allowing an operation of giving an instruction on execution of division determination processing. ### Claim 13 (depends on 4) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 4, wherein in the division reflection display, title display for each sub-event is performed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 5) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 5, wherein in the division reflection display, title display for each scene is performed. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein in the division reflection display, index display for a time zone based on the chronological division is performed. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the index display is an operator for image search. ### Claim 17 An information processing method in which an information processing device performs: determining a chronological division for an image group; performing a user interface control such that, for each time zone divided by the chronological division, a division reflection display is presented in a state in which all or some of images captured within a time zone are arranged in a first direction and each time zone is arranged in a second direction; and performing the user interface control such that, in the division reflection display, scrolling is performed in response to a first direction operation so that each image in one time zone by the chronological division moves in a first direction, and scrolling in a second direction is performed in response to a second direction operation so that each time zone by the chronological division appears. ### Claim 18 An information processing device comprising: a memory storing a program, and at least one processor configured to execute the program to perform operations comprising: determining a chronological division for an image group; performing a user interface control such that, for each time zone divided by the chronological division, a division reflection display is presented in a state in which all or some of images captured within a time zone are arranged in a first direction and each time zone is arranged in a second direction; and performing the user interface control such that, in the division reflection display, scrolling is performed in response to a first direction operation so that each image in one time zone by the chronological division moves in a first direction, and scrolling in a second direction is performed in response to a second direction operation so that each time zone by the chronological division appears.
