You can use setTimeout() and document.onmousemove

let MouseMoving = false;
let tm;
document.onmousemove = function(e){
  MouseMoving = true;
  if(tm) clearTimeout(tm)
  tm = setTimeout(() => MouseMoving = false,1000);
}


function CheckIfMouseIsMoving(){
  if(!MouseMoving){
    console.log("Mousse was not moving")
  }
  else{
    console.log("Mousse was moving")
    return false;
  }
}

setInterval(CheckIfMouseIsMoving,3000)
