While reading something on the screen inactivity timeout hits really easily without indication. Proposing dimming of display e.g. 10s before display is turned off and locked for power saving. This would indicate the user to touch the screen should she wish to continue reading.

While reading something on the screen inactivity timeout hits really easily without indication. 2-3 seconds dimming followed by display off and locked. Dimming is difficult to notice when the display brightness is set to the lowest value (e.g. reading in the dark).

Proposing usage of sensors to identify user near the screen or alternatively dimming of display e.g. 10s before display is turned off and locked for power saving. This would indicate the user to touch the screen should she wish to continue reading.reading. Longer timeout would allow more time to react. Sensor usage is preferred approach because it removes the need to tap the screen which can lead to unwanted activation of an UI element, e.g. link.

While focusing to reading something on the screen inactivity timeout hits really easily without with 2-3 seconds dimming followed by display off and locked. Dimming is difficult to notice when the display brightness is set to the lowest value (e.g. reading in the dark).

Proposing usage of sensors to identify user near the screen (e.g. 30 cms) or alternatively longer, more visible dimming of display e.g. 10s (e.g. 10s) before display is turned off and locked for power saving. This would indicate the user to touch the screen should she wish to continue reading. Longer timeout would allow more time to react.
