In one aspect, a device includes an accelerometer, a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive first data from a biometric sensor which communicates with the device, and receive second data from the accelerometer. The first data pertains to a biometric of a user and the second data pertains to acceleration of the device. The memory also bears instructions executable by the processor to determine one or more emotions of the user based at least partially on the first data and the second data, and determine whether to execute a function at the device at least partially based on the emotion and based on third data associated with a use context of the device.
