Abstract
Various methods are provided for facilitating the determination of a user attention level using facial orientation detection. One example method may include receiving an image of a user after an expiration of an inactivity timer on the user terminal. The current attention level of the user is determined based on the received image. The computing device lock condition is then set based on the determined current attention level of the user. Similar and related example apparatuses and example computer program products are also provided.
