Abstract:
A method for measuring a length in a mobile terminal, and which includes selecting a virtual measuring tape function on the mobile terminal for measuring a size of an object; setting, via a controller of the mobile terminal, a reference object; setting, via the controller, a spaced distance of the reference object with respect to the mobile terminal to be zero when the reference object is brought into contact with the mobile terminal; measuring, via a laser of the mobile terminal, the spaced distance of the reference object with respect to the mobile terminal as the reference object is moved away from the mobile terminal; and outputting the measured spaced distance.
