Answer 1

You can use the below mentioned solution

var idleTime;
$(document).ready(function () {
         reloadPage();
        $('html').bind('mousemove click mouseup mousedown keydown keypress keyup submit change mouseenter scroll resize dblclick', function () {
            clearTimeout(idleTime);
            reloadPage();
        });
});
function reloadPage() {
    clearTimeout(idleTime);
    idleTime = setTimeout(function () {
        location.reload();
    }, 3000);
}
