I wanna know that how can I find distance between two mobiles.   Are there  functions  of bluetooth that give detail about distance?

If no , please tell me about how can I find distance by using  bluetooth or other connections.

hmmm,

I would think not.
I cant think of a way to do this unless u are using some very accurate GPS devices on the phone or you could use cell ID to get an approximation if the distance is quiet far or maybe just call your friend and ask him "Where are you buddy?" Smiley
Is there a practical reason why you want to do this?

is it possible with infra?
i suppose there are devices measuring distance with infra,
or sound waves (as automatic cameras),

there do exist devices to measure distance using IR or radiowaves(RADAR), but those are not for communication.

The Bluetooth and IR on the mobile phone are for communication and not for measuring distance. Obviously you can'tdo it

i think it would be a nice application,
for example i'll move to a new apartment next week, i had to measure all rooms with a meter,
i wished my phone can do it, with a high accuracy Smiley
and my brother is an architect, i'm sure he would pay for such an application
