Claim 5:
6. The computer-assisted device of claim 1, wherein to determine that the motion of the input control is likely to be confused with the first portion, the controller is configured to:
determine that the motion of the input control comprises motion along a circular arc, wherein the circular arc has a center point less than a first threshold distance from a centroid of the input control or a rotational axis less than a threshold angle from a rotational axis of the motion of the input control for indicating that a mode of operation of the computer-assisted device is to be changed; or
determine that the motion of the input control comprises motion along the circular arc at an angular speed greater than a threshold speed; or
determine that the motion of the input control comprises motion traversing, after the computer-assisted device has entered a current mode of operation, a distance along the circular arc greater than a second threshold distance.
