Phoenix New Media Technology News, September 14 news, recently, Apple applied for "during the moisture exposure event to modify the function of electronic devices" patent announced.

The summary shows that the application relates to an electronic device including a processor and a display assembly covered by a cover. The display assembly may include a touch detection system capable of detecting a touch event at the cover, and the touch detection system may include a capacitance detector capable of detecting a change in the capacitance and a position corresponding to the change of the capacitance, and an applied force detector capable of detecting the amount and position of the force applied to the cover associated with the touch event.

The electronic device may include a moisture detector capable of detecting the amount of moisture present at the cover, wherein when the amount of moisture is greater than the threshold amount, the processor determines the location of the touch event based on the detection signal provided by the capacitance detector and the applied force detector.
