A method and a head-mounted device for triggering an action with relation to a selected object in a field of view of a user comprising detecting a pre-defined brain activity pattern of the user using a brain activity sensor of a head-mounted device worn by the user. The pre-defined brain activity pattern expresses a user command to select an object on which a gaze of the user is focused. The method comprises determining a direction of the gaze of the user at a time of the detection of the pre-defined brain activity pattern. The method comprises capturing an image of the field of view of the user at the time of the detection of the pre-defined brain activity pattern. The method comprises providing at least a part of the image to a computing entity, to cause the computing entity to trigger the action with relation to the selected object.

The present disclosure proposes a method for supporting a user. The method contains providing an acceleration measurement of the user and measuring at least one vital parameter of the user if the acceleration measurement is above a predefined acceleration threshold. A need of assistance for the user is signaled if the measured vital parameter of the user deviates from a standard vital parameter of the user by more than a predefined threshold.
