The invention relates to a locating method for a self-capacitance type touch screen. The locating method for the self-capacitance type touch screen comprises the steps of carrying out module initialization, carrying out starting, carrying out drive scanning of a capacitance digital converter, acquiring collected analog data signals, outputting digital signals through an analog-digital converter, judging whether a single contact or multiple contacts exist, further determining the positions of the contacts, and transmitting obtained contact position information to an upper computer. Compared with the prior art, the locating method for the self-capacitance type touch screen has the advantages that a pressure parameter is introduced to serve as an index of the detection standard, the positions of the contacts can be correctly judged, and the locating method is free of the complex operation process, simple, and easy to implement and popularize.
