1. A mobile computing apparatus, comprising:
a camera configured to capture an image;
a display configured to be observable by a user during a capturing of the image by the camera; and
one or more processors configured to:
while the mobile computing apparatus is in a lock state,
control the camera to perform the capturing of the image,
detect for a face, in the captured image, dependent on a consideration that the face of the captured image is captured partially outside a field of view of the camera,
control the display to display information to the user prior to or during the detection for the face and/or a performance of a facial verification of the detected face, and
in response to the face having been detected in the detection for the face, perform the 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; and
based on a result of the performance of the facial verification being determined a success, cancel the lock state of the mobile computing apparatus and allow the user access to the mobile computing apparatus,
wherein the mobile computing apparatus in the lock state does not display face image feedback to the user during the detecting for the face and/or the performing of the facial verification in response to the face having been detected.
