An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: an inertial measurement unit, a camera device, and a processor. The inertial-measurement unit is configured to detect a pitch angle of the electronic device. The camera device is configured to focus on a target object to capture an object image. The processor is configured to execute an image-distance-measuring program to perform the following steps: obtaining a lens-focal-length parameter corresponding to the object image from an operating system performed by the electronic device; calculating a plurality of terminal parameters corresponding to the pitch angle according to the lens-focal-length parameter and the pitch angle; converting the terminal parameters to a plurality of linear parameters; and calculating an object distance between the target object and the camera device according to a linear equation of the linear parameters, and the upper focusing distance, and the lower focusing distance.

Electronic device and method for measuring distance using image thereof

Provided is a portable docking device. The portable docking device may convert an USB Type-C port to another type of port. The portable docking device can further receive electric power from a mobile device connected with the portable docking device, and the pico-projecting unit can receive the electric power to project an enlarged screen synchronous to a screen displayed on the mobile device. Therefore, the screen displayed on the mobile device can be enlarged, and viewers can watch the enlarged screen without the viewers' sight being blocked. Further, the user of the portable docking device does not need to bring a power adaptor, and convenience and portability of the portable docking device can be improved.
