How to determine that the computer is idle (not used for a certain period of time)?

Question

Programming

Hello! I want to file my screen saver for the seven, but I want to make it as a separate program (it's more convenient for me). I ran into such a problem: how to determine that the computer has not been used for some time (not a single key has been pressed, the mouse has not been touched, some new device has not been connected)?
