Abstract
A mobile apparatus for detecting an intention to input data on a screen relating to a locked state of the mobile apparatus is provided herein. Upon detecting the intention to input data on the screen related to the locked state, the mobile apparatus enters into an inking mode that enables input of data directly on the screen relating to the locked state. As such, while the mobile apparatus remains in the locked state, the input data is captured on the screen.
