Abstract

The invention relates to a data processing system for executing an interactive application. The user may interact with the system by means of an input device (109, 110) for generating signals in response to user operation of the input device. The input device is provided with a sensor (111) for sensing the nearness of a user's hand to the input device. The system further comprises an activity monitor (112) for determining a user's activity with respect to the input device and alert means (113) for generating at least one user-perceptible signal in response to the sensor sensing the nearness of the user's hand during a period of inactivity.
