Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in controlling external programs executed by a browser application. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for automatically identifying an external program in a document definition used in rendering a document display in a user interface of the browser application. In response to detecting inactivity in connection with the document display, the disclosed systems and methods generate a first modified document definition, by modifying the document definition, to suspend execution of the external program in a first modified document display based on the first modified document definition. In response to activity in connection with the first modified document display, the disclosed systems and methods generate a second document definition, by modifying the first document definition, to restore execution of the external program in a second modified document display based on the second modified document definition.
