Abstract: A method comprises: receiving, at a computing device 102 that is in a locked state, one or more user inputs 110 to unlock the device and to execute at least one command that is different from a command for unlocking the device; executing in response to the user inputs to unlock the device an unlocking operation 114 to convert the device from a locked state to an unlocked state; and executing the at least one command 112 in response to receiving the user inputs to execute the at least one command, so that its results 116 are first displayed on the device to a user automatically after the device changes from the locked state to the unlocked state. A system can thus perform in parallel an unlocking operation and a user-requested operation; for example, a user can simultaneously perform an action, instigated by a touch or voice input, and unlock the device. Multiple actions (354 in Figure 3B) may be available at the same time.
