I did something similar on a past project. Maybe some variant will work
for you. In my case the user did not have access to the keyboard. I
purchased a simple motion detector. I placed the contact relay output
from it across the contacts for a key on the keyboard. When the user was
within range, or when they left, a key event would fire. You could do
something similar with some sort of input to a port.
FWIW,

| Subject: <lingo-l> Slightly OT - Timeout on Web Kiosk
|
| Folks
|
| Apologies for the slightly OT nature of this query.
|
| I've got to punch some Flash, Shockwave and existing web
| content through a web kiosk setup. It'll be frame-based
| with a master frame handling meta-navigation and the
| content items appearing in the sub-frames.
|
| Some sub-frames will be local files and others off the
| internet called from a single corporate site. We can't
| add any code to the web content.
|
| Does anyone know how you could implement a timeout
| client-side in the master frame so that when a user
| walks away from the kiosk it will return to a local "home" page.
|
| Easy in Lingo if it was all director :-)
|
| But sadly there's so much web content that it's gotta be
| delivered via a browser :-(
|
| Thanks in advance.
|
