Hai,
This is code to notify you when the keyboard is left inactive for 10 seconds it will throw a message then the sytem will get exit.
For mouse event i don't how to do the same process.

    Thread th;
    /** Creates new form InactiveTest */
    public InactiveTest() {
        initComponents();
        th = new Thread() {

                        System.out.println("Time Cnt"+timeCnt);
                        if(timeCnt == 10) {
                            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(objInactiveTest,"Inactive for 10 seconds");
                            System.exit(0);

                            break;
                    }catch(Exception e){}
        th.start();
        KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventDispatcher(new KeyEventDispatcher() {
            public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
                timeCnt=0;
