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.

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.
