1. A method for determining a location of a target device of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- acquiring an image of the target device;
determining a direction of the electronic device while acquiring the image;
determining, based on the acquired image, a distance between the target device and the electronic device;
transmitting, to a host device, information of the distance, the direction, and a location of the electronic device in an internal structure diagram; and
receiving, from the host device, information of a location of the target device in the internal structure diagram,wherein the location of the target device is determined, by the host device, based on the distance, the direction of the electronic device and the location of the electronic device.
