A mobile apparatus comprises at least one processing unit and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the mobile apparatus to detect an intention to input data on a screen relating to a locked state of the mobile apparatus, enter into an inking mode, the inking mode enabling input of data directly on the screen relating to the locked state, and capture data input on the screen relating to the locked state while the mobile apparatus remains in the locked state.
