Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 11, wherein determining that the motion of the input control is likely to be confused with the first portion comprises:
determining 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 greater than a second threshold distance from the input control; or
determining that the motion of the input control comprises motion along a circular arc at an angular speed greater than a threshold speed; or
determining 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 a circular arc for greater than a third threshold distance; or
determining that the motion of the input control comprises motion along a circular arc with 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.
