How about a proximity token or vicinity token. The vicinity token is clipped
to your shirt or embedded in an ID badge. When you walk away your monitor
and keyboard are disabled, when you come back within (settable) range they
reactivate. Typically uses Bluetooth or rfid. The prox token uses IrDA and
must be placed close to the port.
