Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. 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 processor is configured to:
while in the lock state, perform a facial verification operation through implementation of a facial verification model that includes a neural network, where the performance of the facial verification includes detecting a partial face of a face being captured partially out of a field of view (FoV) of the camera, obtained from the captured image, and performing a matching with respect to information of a registered face and 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, determine whether the user is attempting to gain access to the 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 facial verification operation, and the user being determined to be attempting to gain access to the computing apparatus.
