According to an embodiment of an aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method for determining a sleep state of a user. The method comprising receiving (S) a physiological signal from a physiological signal detector used by the user. The method further comprising determining (S), based on the received physiological signal, the sleep state of the user. The method further comprising calculating (S) a reliability value associated with the determination. The reliability value being calculated based on a comparison of the received physiological signal with historic physiological signals of the same sleep state as the determined sleep state. There is further provided a device () and computer-readable medium (). In accordance with the present disclosure, the sleep state of a user may be determined with greater accuracy when compared with past methods.

The present disclosure relates to a method for emotion-triggered capturing of audio and/or image data by an audio and/or image capturing device. The method includes receiving and analyzing a time-sequential set of data including first physiological data representing a first physiological parameter corresponding to a first person, a second physiological data representing a second physiological parameter corresponding to a second person, and voice audio data including a voice of at least one of the first and the second person, to determine whether a simultaneous change of emotional state of a first person and a second person occurs and transmitting a trigger signal to the capturing device. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding apparatus and a system comprising the apparatus.
