Dear Sreenath,

The question what you are asking is completely different, Because in the real time environment it is very complex task to server to monitor all clients which are connected to the server, it leads server slow. So normally at client side only the process of idle time count happening , based on it security will be implemented at client side only.

Any way as per your requirement, look it
Monitoring client connections.
Disconnect clients that are idle or that have a network address in a specified range

You are going to have to define how your client app will be idle. Does this mean that the user has not interacted with the app for a certain amount of time, in which case you should create a timer in the app that gets restarted whenever the user does some interaction i.e moves the mouse, clicks a button etc. Then, if the timer reaches a certain predefined limit, it sets off a predefined set of events, such as showing an idle screen, loading an image etc.
