A system and method for multi-touch integrity sensing for a multi-touch capacitive touch screen is disclosed. The system and method determines a distinction between wanted touches, such as via a finger or stylus, and unwanted touches such as via foreign matter, errors, and the like. 1. A method of touch status determination , comprising: (i) a mutual capacitance detection threshold,', '(ii) a mutual capacitance peak strength,', '(iii) a mutual capacitance reference strength comprising one of an average touch strength or a median touch strength of a first selection of nodes of a multi-touch capacitive touch screen,', '(iv) a self-capacitance detection threshold,', '(v) a self-capacitance peak strength, and', '(vi) a self-capacitance reference strength comprising one of an average touch strength or a median touch strength of a second selection of nodes of the multi-touch capacitive touch screen; and, 'receiving six input values comprisingin response to the six input values, outputting a touch status selected from a touch status truth table representative of whether at least one of water or a wanted touch is present on the multi-touch capacitive touch screen.2. The method of touch status determination according to claim 1 , wherein the first selection of nodes comprises a randomized selection of mutual-capacitance nodes and wherein the second selection of nodes comprises a randomized selection of self-capacitance nodes.3. The method of touch status determination according to claim 1 , further comprising:performing a mutual flag setting step comprising evaluating a first truth statement based on the mutual capacitance detection threshold, the mutual capacitance peak strength, and the mutual capacitance reference strength; andperforming a self-flag setting step comprising evaluating a second truth statement based on the self-capacitance detection threshold, the self-capacitance peak strength, and the self-capacitance reference strength.4. The method of touch status ...
