    Abstract: An electro-optical distance measurement method includes: a light emitting step of switchably outputting a first distance measuring light and a second distance measuring light; a photodetection step of receiving a first reflected distance measuring light and a second reflected distance measuring light; an arithmetic step of frequency-converting a photodetection signal to generate a first difference frequency signal and a second difference frequency signal; and a determining step of determining whether identification information indicating a host device is included in the photodetection signal, wherein the light emitting step involves driving a light emitting element so that the identification information is included in a light emission signal, and the arithmetic step involves calculating the distance value when it is determined in the determining step that the identification information is included in the photodetection signal.
