You can use the session data since that has a last_activity field. I personally use the database for sessions but maybe you can use the file storage or similar.

I link the session to a user (if they're logged in). Then I can check the last activity with that as well. You can do something similar.

For the checking

On login, do a check to see if there's an active session by that user. If so do your stuff and log out the person.

If you only want to check device, you can check browser agent/platform (and IP).
