Display device, display controlling method, and computer program

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a display method comprising:

• detecting a first contact on a first operational portion of an image generated on a touch screen;
• detecting 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;
• expressly displaying on the touch screen a first indicator that identifies a first operational area of a generated image that is operational, in response to said detecting the first contact on the first operational portion of the generated image, the first indicator not being visible prior to the detection of contact on the first operational portion of the generated image, the first indicator being displayed such that a first area on the touch screen where the first contact is detected being included within the first operational area indicated by the first indicator;
• expressly displaying on the touch screen a second indicator that identifies a second operational area of the generated image that is operational, in response to said detecting the second contact on the second operational portion of the generated image, the second indicator being different from the first indicator, the second indicator not being visible prior to the detection of contact on the second operational portion of the generated image, the second indicator being displayed such that a second area on the touch screen where the second contact is detected being included within the second operational area indicated by the second indicator;
• responsive to detection of a first operation on the first operational portion of the generated image, the first operation being a first continuous movement along the touch screen after the first contact without releasing from the touch screen, setting 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 of the generated image, the second operation being a second continuous movement along the touch screen after the second contact without releasing from the touch screen, setting 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;
• detecting whether the first contact on the first operational portion of the generated image is released;
• detecting whether the second contact on the second operational portion of the generated image is released;
• stopping the expressly displaying of the first operational area in response to detecting the first contact to the touch screen over the first operational portion of the generated image being released;
• and
• stopping the expressly displaying of the second operational area in response to detecting the second contact to the touch screen over the second operational portion of the generated image being released.

A display device, comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• detect a first contact on a first operational portion of an image generated on a touch screen;
• detect 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;
• expressly display on the touch screen a first indicator that identifies a first operational area of a generated image that is operational, in response to said detecting the first contact on the first operational portion of the generated image, the first indicator not being visible prior to the detection of contact on the first operational portion of the generated image, the first indicator being displayed such that a first area on the touch screen where the first contact is detected being included within the first operational area indicated by the first indicator;
• expressly display on the touch screen a second indicator that identifies a second operational area of the generated image that is operational, in response to said detecting the second contact on the second operational portion of the generated image, the second indicator being different from the first indicator, the second indicator not being visible prior to the detection of contact on the second operational portion of the generated image, the second indicator being displayed such that a second area on the touch screen where the second contact is detected being included within the second operational area indicated by the second indicator;
• responsive to detection of a first operation on the first operational portion of the generated image, the first operation being a first continuous movement along the touch screen after the first contact without releasing from the touch screen, set 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 of the generated image, the second operation being a second continuous movement along the touch screen after the second contact without releasing from the touch screen, set 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;
• detect whether the first contact on the first operational portion of the generated image is released;
• detect whether the second contact on the second operational portion of the generated image is released;
• stop the expressly displaying of the first operational area in response to detecting the first contact to the touch screen over the first operational portion of the generated image being released;
• and
• stop the expressly displaying of the second operational area in response to detecting the second contact to the touch screen over the second operational portion of the generated image being released.
