Visual indicator for paused radar gestures

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a computer processor;
• a radar system, implemented at least partially in hardware, configured to:
• provide a radar field;
• sense reflections from a user in the radar field;
• analyze the reflections from the user in the radar field;
• and
• provide, based on the analysis of the reflections, radar data;
• and
• a computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the computer processor, implement an input-mode manager configured to:
• detect a gesture-pause trigger, the gesture-pause trigger comprising at least one of:
• an oscillating motion of the electronic device at a first frequency at which determining that a user's motion is a radar gesture is not accurate;
• or
• an oscillating motion of an object in the radar field at a second frequency at which determining that the user's motion is the radar gesture is not accurate, and
• the detection during a period in which:
• the radar system is providing the radar field through which the radar gesture can be determined based on the radar data;
• and
• an application capable of receiving a control input corresponding to the radar gesture is executing, through the computer processor, on the electronic device;
• and
• provide, in response to the detection of the gesture-pause trigger, a gesture-paused feedback element on the display of the electronic device, the gesture-paused feedback element indicating that the application cannot perform an action associated with the control input.
