Portable electronic device
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device, comprisinga temperature sensor for sensing an ambient temperature,a storage for providing past sensed temperature values and/or past temperature values derived from the past sensed temperature values,a condensation assessment module for assessing if the portable electronic device is exposed to condensation, and for providing a condensation indicator in response to the assessment,wherein the condensation assessment module is configured to determine a dew point, and is configured to set the condensation indicator subject to the determined dew point and subject to one or more of the past sensed temperature values or one or more of the past derived temperature values,further comprising a compensator for compensating for a deviation of a value of the ambient temperature sensed by the temperature sensor from a real value of the ambient temperature, wherein the compensator is configured to determine a compensated temperature value for the ambient temperature at least dependent on the sensed temperature value and dependent on the condensation indicator.

Abstract
In a portable electronic device, an ambient temperature is sensed by means of a temperature sensor. In addition, it is assessed if the portable electronic device is exposed to condensation. A corresponding condensation indicator is provided. The condensation indicator is determined based on a dew point and based on sensed temperature values of the past or temperature derived from the past sensed temperature values.
