Abstract
An electronic device () includes a display (). The electronic device can also include a user interface () to detect gesture input. One or more control circuits (), operable with the display and the user interface, can detect a predefined gesture input () and alter a timer () controlling a duration in which the display is in an operational mode. This allows a user () to make a quick gesture to extend the time the display will be active without interaction so that the user can read long documents or other items without the display turning OFF.
