A mobile moves from $P$ to $Q$ according to a path that has to fulfill the following conditions: The moving part of $ P$ and arrives at a point on the $x$-axis, along which it travels a segment of length $1$, then it departs from this axis and goes towards a point on the $y$ axis, on which travels a segment of length $2$, separates from the $y$ axis finally and goes towards the point $Q$. Among all the possible paths, determine the one with the minimum length, thus like this same length.
