Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 28:
29. A mobile computing apparatus, comprising:
a camera;
a display; and
one or more processors configured to control an operation of the mobile computing apparatus, including the one or more processors being configured to:
control a capturing, by the camera, of an image of a user facing the display while the mobile computing apparatus is in a lock state; and
control an unlocking of the mobile computing apparatus from the lock state, wherein, for the control of the unlocking of the mobile computing apparatus, the one or more processors are configured to:
while in the lock state,
detect for a face of the user dependent on a consideration that the face of the captured image is captured partially outside a field of view of the camera, and
perform a facial verification of the detected face through implementation of a facial verification model that includes a neural network, where the performance of the facial verification includes performance of a matching consideration with respect to a registered face information, of a predetermined valid user, and a user face information that is dependent on a result of verification feature extraction by the neural network in the implementation of the facial verification model, to determine whether the user is a valid user of the mobile computing apparatus;

while in the lock state and prior to or during the detection for the face and/or the performance of the facial verification, control the display to display information to the user;
while in the lock state, determine whether the user is attempting to gain access to the mobile computing apparatus; and
cancel the lock state of the mobile computing apparatus in response to the user being determined to be the valid user, as a result of the performance of the facial verification, and
the user being determined to be attempting to gain access to the mobile computing apparatus,

wherein the mobile computing apparatus in the lock state does not display preview image information, corresponding to the captured image, to the user on the display coincident with the control of the capturing of the image.
