First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for navigating an electronic document on a portable device, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a processor of the portable device, the electronic document on a touch screen of the portable device;
defining a plurality of regions on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen, boundaries of the plurality of regions as an overlay for the electronic document when the electronic document is first displayed on the touch screen;
hiding, by the processor, the boundaries after a predetermined delay;
detecting a tap gesture on the touch screen;
determining a selection of one of the regions based on a location of the tap gesture on the touch screen; and
executing, by the processor of the portable device, a command associated with the selected region.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for navigating an electronic document. In one implementation, a method includes executing a command associated with a region selected by a tap gesture. In another implementation, a method includes displaying a slider on a slide bar including an expanded part corresponding to a section of the electronic document. The expanded part is disproportionately larger than other parts of the slide bar corresponding to other sections of the electronic document. Methods and apparatuses are provided for activating an element of an electronic document. In one implementation, a method includes activating the element selected by a touch gesture. Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a perceived brightness of an electronic document. In one implementation, a method includes displaying a partially opaque graphical object in front of the electronic document. The perceived brightness of the electronic document being based on an opacity of the graphical object.

5. A computer-implemented method for navigating an electronic document on a terminal, the method comprising:
-
defining a plurality of regions on a touch screen of the terminal based on a size of the touch screen, the plurality of regions including a left region on the touch screen to navigate the electronic document to a previous page and a right region on the touch screen to navigate the electronic document to a next page; displaying a first graphical rendition of a page of the electronic document on the touch screen, the first graphical rendition including boundaries of the plurality of the regions; displaying a second graphical rendition of the page of the electronic document on the touch screen after a predetermined period, the second graphical rendition without the boundaries of the plurality of the regions; detecting a tap gesture on the touch screen at one of the regions; and executing, by a processor of the terminal, in response to the detected tap gesture, a command associated with the region at which the tap gesture was detected. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A portable electronic device comprising:
-
a display; and one or more processors configured to perform acts comprising; displaying an electronic document on a touch screen of the portable electronic device; defining a plurality of regions on the touch screen; displaying boundaries of at least a first region of the plurality of regions as an overlay to the electronic document in response to displaying the electronic document on the touch screen of the portable electronic device; hiding the boundaries of the first region after a predetermined period of time has elapsed; detecting a tap gesture on the touch screen; determining a selection of the first region based on a location of the tap gesture on the touch screen; and executing, by the one or more processors of the portable electronic device, a command associated with the first region. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more computer readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising; defining a plurality of regions on a touch screen of a terminal displaying an electronic document, the plurality of regions including a left region to navigate the electronic document to a previous page, and a right region to navigate the electronic document to a next page; associating a command with at least one of the plurality of regions; displaying a first graphical rendition of a page of the electronic document on the touch screen, the first graphical rendition including boundaries of the plurality of the regions; displaying a second graphical rendition of the page of the electronic document on the touch screen after a predetermined period has elapsed, the second graphical rendition without the boundaries of the plurality of the regions; detecting a tap gesture on the touch screen at one of the plurality of regions having an associated command; and executing, by the one or more processors of the terminal, in response to the detected tap gesture, the command associated with the region at which the tap was detected. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
