Claim:
1. A time-out management system comprising at least one processor configured to perform: distributing a session-dependent application from a content server to a content browser within a content client, wherein a client-side time-out manager is disposed in content distributed to the content browser from the content server as part of the session dependent application; tracking interactions between the content client and the content server during a session of the session-dependent application by a server-side time-out manager using a first time-out threshold time interval, wherein the session is terminated upon no activity detected by the server-side time-out manager during the first time-out threshold time interval; tracking activities within the content browser occurring in the session dependent application by the client-side time-out manager using a second time-out threshold time interval, wherein the second time-out threshold time interval is shorter than the first time-out threshold time interval; and, responsive to detecting an activity within the content browser occurring in the session dependent application within the second time-out threshold time interval, spoofing, during an post-second time-out threshold interval period of time between an expiration of the second time-out threshold interval and an expiration of the first time-out threshold time interval, client-side activity even when no activity occurs in the content browser by falsely indicating to the server-side time-out manager that activity has occurred in the content browser in connection with the session dependent application during the post-second time-out threshold interval period of time when no activity in fact has occurred in the content browser in connection with the session dependent application during the post-second time-out threshold interval period of time.
