Abstract
A handheld electronic device that includes two or more multi-axis distance measurement sensors for simultaneously measuring distance from two or more reference points in space. The device is used to locate a target point on a surface at the predetermined distances from the two or more reference points. The device can further include a marking unit to mark the target point on the surface.
Claims20
An electronic device for simultaneously measuring distances from two or more reference points in space to locate a target point on a surface, the electronic device comprises:
- a housing having a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, a right wall, a top wall, and a bottom wall;
- at least two multi-axis distance measurement sensors encased in the housing, wherein the at least two multi-axis distance measurement sensors configured to simultaneously measure distances of an intersection point on the rear wall of the housing from at least two reference points in space respectively;
- and
- a display on the front wall of the housing configured to display values of the measured distances.
A method for simultaneously measuring distances from two or more reference points in space to locate a target point on a surface, the target point is at pre-determined distances from the two or more reference points, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an electronic device comprising:
- a housing having a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, a right wall, a top wall, and a bottom wall,
- at least two multi-axis distance measurement sensors encased in the housing, wherein the at least two multi-axis distance measurement sensors configured to simultaneously measure distances of an intersection point on the rear wall of the housing from at least two reference points in space respectively, and
- a display on the front wall of the housing configured to display values of the measured distances;
- positioning the electronic device on the surface;
- and
- repositioning the electronic device relative to the surface until the measured distances are substantially same as the pre-determined distances.
