Abstract
System and methods are provided for detecting and suggesting breaks in activity by a user of an Information Handling System (IHS). I/O operations by the user of the IHS are monitored, without use of a camera and thus within privacy restrictions. Upon initiating the activity monitoring, a timer is initialized. Using the timer, intervals are identified with no activity by the user, thus indicating the user has taken a break from operating the IHS. Based on the monitored user activity, intervals are also identified with uninterrupted operation of the IHS by the user, such as monitored activity by the user without identifying an interval of inactivity that indicates the user has taken a break. Upon detection of an interval with uninterrupted operation of the IHS, the user is presented with a suggestion to take a break from operation of the IHS.
