A navigation device with distance detecting function can utilize a distance detecting mechanism to detect a distance relative to a working surface. The distance detecting mechanism includes a base, a connecting component, a feature unit and a detection unit. The connecting component partly protrudes from the base. The connecting component optionally contacts against or is spaced from the working surface to generate a distance variation relative to the base along an axial direction. The feature unit is disposed on the connecting component. The detection unit is connected to the base. The detection unit can detect parameter difference of the feature unit according to the distance variation of the connecting component relative to the base, so as to determine the distance between the working surface and a bottom of the base via the parameter difference.

Abstract:
A game board device is provided for carrying and identifying game pieces that are divided into different piece types. The game board device includes a board, a plurality of optically identifying modules, and a processing module electrically coupled to the optically identifying modules. The optically identifying modules respectively correspond in position to detection regions of the board. Each of the optically identifying modules includes a light emitter that can emit light toward the corresponding detection region and a light receiver that can receive light reflected by the corresponding detection region. When any one of the detection regions is in an unoccupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module can emit an unoccupied signal. When any one of the detection regions is in an occupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module enables an identification signal that corresponds to the piece type of the corresponding game piece to be emitted therefrom.
