Inputting data using a mobile apparatus

1. A mobile apparatus, comprising:

at least one processing unit;

at least one memory;

wherein 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 during a locked state of the mobile apparatus by receiving a signal from an object;

preload at least one application module in a background in response to detecting the signal;

enable a detection of a touch of the object on the screen;

detect the touch of the object on the screen;

execute the at least one application module in response to detecting the touch of the object on the screen by entering into an inking mode, the inking mode enabling input of notes directly on the screen relating to the locked state; and

capture the notes input on the screen relating to the locked state while the mobile apparatus remains in the locked state.

2. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the object is a pen.

3. A mobile apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the signal indicates that the pen is held in a hand.

4. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause, when detecting another intention to input data, the mobile apparatus to detect a predetermined gesture with a finger on the screen.

5. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the screen relating to the locked state is a lock screen, a glance screen or a screen of a state where the mobile apparatus is in a low-power display mode.

6. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the mobile apparatus to:

load a second application module enabling the input of the notes directly on the screen when entering into the inking mode.

7. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein detecting the intention to input data on the screen comprises detecting a vicinity of the object to the screen.

8. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the mobile apparatus to:

while still in a locked state, fade the screen after entering into the inking mode.

9. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the mobile apparatus to:

provide on the screen at least one option to process the captured notes while still in the locked state.

10. A mobile apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein detecting the intention to input data on the screen comprises detecting that the object is being held in a hand.

11. A method, comprising:

detecting an intention to input data on a screen during a locked state of a mobile apparatus by detecting a signal from an object;

preloading at least one application module in a background in response to detecting the signal;

enabling a detection of a touch of the object on the screen;

detecting the touch of the object on the screen;

executing the at least one application module in response to detecting the touch of the object on the screen by entering into an inking mode, the inking mode enabling input of notes directly on the screen relating to the locked state; and

capturing the notes input on the screen relating to the locked state while the mobile apparatus remains in the locked state.

12. A method according to claim 11 , further comprising receiving the signal from a pen.

13. A method according to claim 12 , wherein the signal indicates that the pen is being held in a hand.

14. A method according to claim 11 , wherein detecting the intention to input data on the screen comprises detecting a vicinity of the object to a display.

15. A method according to claim 11 , further comprising fading the screen after entering into the inking mode.

16. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the screen relating to the locked state is a lock screen, a glance screen or a screen of a state where the mobile apparatus is in a low-power display mode.

17. A computer-readable storage device comprising executable instructions for causing at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

detecting an intention to input data on a screen relating to a locked state of a mobile apparatus by detecting a signal from an object;

preloading at least one application module in a background in response to detecting the signal;

enabling a detection of a touch of the object on the screen;

detecting the touch of the object on the screen;

executing the at least one application module in response to detecting the touch of the object on the screen by entering into an inking mode, the inking mode enabling input of notes directly on the screen relating to the locked state; and

capturing the notes input on the screen relating to the locked state while the mobile apparatus remains in the locked state.

18. The computer-readable storage device according to claim 17 , wherein detecting the intention to input data on the screen comprises detecting that the object is being held in a hand.

19. The computer-readable storage device according to claim 17 , wherein detecting the intention to input data on the screen comprises detecting a vicinity of the object to the screen.

20. The computer-readable storage device according to claim 17 , wherein detecting the intention to input data on the screen comprises detecting a press of a button on the object.
