In the embodiment of the invention, the touch screen is an interactive device and is sensitive to the influence of the external environment temperature. Taking a capacitive touch screen as an example, the working principle of the capacitive touch screen is that a coupling capacitor is formed by a human body and the surface of the touch screen, for high-frequency current, the human body can suck a tiny current from a touch point, the changed current is received by electrodes distributed at four corners of the screen, and the position touched by a user is calculated after the relationship between the current and the distances from the electrodes at the four corners is analyzed.

Humidity often has a large effect on the normal operation of electronic products. Still taking a capacitive touch screen as an example, the capacitive touch screen realizes its function by using the principle that the touch screen and a human body form a coupling capacitance, and the capacitance value of the capacitor is inversely proportional to the inter-electrode distance, is proportional to the relative area, and is also related to the dielectric insulation coefficient of the medium. When the humidity of the environment exceeds a certain degree, the insulation coefficient of the capacitor can be influenced, and the sensitivity of the touch screen is further changed. In humid weather, the touch screen may malfunction if the edge of the touch screen is held by hand, the palm is within 7 cm of the touch screen, or the body is within 15 cm of the touch screen. Therefore, when the ambient humidity exceeds a certain value, the sensitivity of the touch screen should be reduced accordingly to reduce malfunction and misoperation.
