Systems and methods for automated brightness control in response to one user input

A method for electronic reading device automated brightness control, comprising:

• storing a plurality of default brightness settings corresponding to a plurality of levels of ambient light detected by the ambient light sensor;
• receiving, via processing circuitry, a signal from an ambient light sensor of an electronic reading device corresponding to a first detected ambient light level;
• automatically displaying, via the processing circuitry, a first default brightness level based on the first detected ambient light level and the stored plurality of default brightness settings;
• determining, via the processing circuitry, if the first default brightness level is manually adjusted;
• determining, based on an output of the ambient light sensor, that the first ambient light level has changed to a second ambient light level;
• automatically displaying a second brightness level based on the second ambient light level, wherein the second brightness level is a second default brightness level corresponding to the second ambient light level modified based on the manual adjustment of the first default brightness level;
• and
• updating, via the processing circuitry, the stored default brightness settings to correspond to the manual adjustment.

Anon-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• storing a plurality of default brightness settings corresponding to a plurality of levels of ambient light detected by the ambient light sensor;
• receiving a signal from an ambient light sensor corresponding to a first detected ambient light level;
• automatically displaying a first default brightness level based on the first detected ambient light level and the stored plurality of default brightness settings;
• determining if the first default brightness level is manually adjusted;
• determine, based on an output of the ambient light sensor, that the first ambient light level has changed to a second ambient light level;
• automatically displaying a second brightness level based on the second ambient light level, wherein the second brightness level is a second default brightness level corresponding to the second ambient light level modified based on the manual adjustment of the first default brightness level;
• and
• updating the stored default brightness settings to correspond to the manual adjustment.
