1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- displaying an electronic document on a touch screen of an electronic device;
defining a left region, a center region, and a right region associated with the touch screen, the center region located between the left region and the right region;
associating with the left region a previous page command to display a previous page of the electronic document;
associating with the right region a next page command to display a next page of the electronic document;
associating with the center region a command to display or hide a control object;
detecting a first touch input in the center region;
displaying the control object based at least in part on the first touch input, the control object displayed with an opacity set to a last used opacity level;
receiving, by the control object, a second touch input representing a swiping movement on the touch screen; and
controlling, by a processor of the electronic device, a perceived visible brightness of the electronic document based at least in part on the second touch input by increasing or decreasing the opacity of the control object.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a perceived brightness of an electronic document. In one implementation, the electronic document may be displayed on a touch screen of a terminal. A graphical object may be displayed in front of the electronic document. The terminal may detect a gesture on the touch screen and control the perceived brightness of the electronic document by adjusting an opacity of the graphical object based on the gesture.

6. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying an electronic document on a touch screen of a portable computing device; defining at least a first region, a second region, and a third region associated with the touch screen; associating with the first region a previous page command to display a previous page of the electronic document; associating with the second region a command to display or hide a control object; associating with the third region a next page command to display a next page of the electronic document; detecting a first touch input in the second region; displaying the control object overlaid in front of the electronic document based at least in part on the first touch input, the control object displayed with an opacity set to a last used opacity level; detecting a second touch input representing a swiping movement on the touch screen; and controlling, by a processor of the portable computing device, a perceived visible brightness of the electronic document by increasing or decreasing the opacity of the control object based at least in part on a current opacity level of the control object and in part on a characteristic of the second touch input. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computing device, comprising:
-
a display device that comprises a touch screen; one or more processors; one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; displaying an electronic document on a touch screen of a terminal; defining at least a first region, a second region, and a third region associated with the touch screen; associating with the first region a command to display or hide a control object; associating with the second region a previous page command to display a subsequent page of the electronic document; associating with the third region a next page command to display a previous page of the electronic document; detecting a first touch input in the first region; overlaying the control object over the electronic document based at least in part on the first touch input, wherein the control object is partially opaque with an opacity set to a last used opacity level; detecting a second touch input on the touch screen representing a swiping movement on the touch screen; and controlling a perceived visible brightness of the electronic document by by increasing or decreasing the opacity of the control object based at least in part on the second touch input. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
