Abstract
An application lock system can lock user interface elements associated with an application upon receiving a request from a user or when the system determines a session as being inactive at least for a predetermined time period. Applications may include, for example, a web browser application, a word processor application, or a file manager application. When the system receives a request to lock the session at the application, the system locks one or more user interface elements associated with the session. If a request is not received, then the system determines whether the session at the application is inactive for the predetermined time period. If the session at the application is inactive for the predetermined time period, the system locks one or more user interface elements associated with the session. If the session at the application is inactive for less than the predetermined time period, the system keeps the one or more user interface elements associated with the session unlocked.
