1. A display method, comprising:
detecting, using circuitry, a first contact on a first operational portion of an image generated on a touch screen;
detecting, using the circuitry, a second contact on a second operational portion of the image generated on the touch screen, the second operational portion being different from the first operational portion;
displaying on the touch screen, using the circuitry, a first indicator at a first original position together with a first operational area that indicates an operational area of the first indicator;
displaying on the touch screen, using the circuitry, a second indicator at a second original position together with a second operational area that indicates an operational area of the second indicator;
responsive to detection of a first operation on the first operational portion, the first operation being a first continuous movement from the first original position to a first position, the first position being different from the first original position, along the touch screen after the first contact without releasing from the touch screen, setting, using the circuitry, a first value of a first function of a remote apparatus, the first value corresponding to a first movement amount of the first continuous movement;
responsive to detection of a second operation on the second operational portion, the second operation being a second continuous movement from the second original position to a second position, the second position being different from the second original position, along the touch screen after the second contact without releasing from the touch screen, setting, using the circuitry, a second value of a second function of the remote apparatus, the second function being different from the first function, the second value corresponding to a second movement amount of the first continuous movement;
responsive to the detection of the first operation on the first operational portion, displaying on the touch screen, using the circuitry, the first indicator that moves in response to the first continuous movement along the touch screen from the first original position to the first position;
responsive to the detection of the second operation on the second operational portion, displaying on the touch screen, using the circuitry, the second indicator that moves in response to the second continuous movement along the touch screen from the second original position to the second position;
displaying on the touch screen, using the circuitry, the first indicator that moves back to the first original position in response to detecting, using the circuitry, the first contact being removed from the touch screen at the first position; and
displaying on the touch screen, using the circuitry, the second indicator that moves back to the second original position in response to detecting, using the circuitry, the second contact being removed from the touch screen at the second position.
