Abstract

A method for identifying a surface slope includes the following steps: A device body with a tilt angle relative to an absolute horizontal plane and associated with a gravity is placed. A plurality of gravity response signals respectively corresponding to a plurality of angles readouts upon sensing the tilt angle are generated. Each of the plurality of gravity response signals is compared with a reference signal one by one to obtain a respective deviation comparison signal. An optical signal having a parameter is emitted according to a magnitude of the respective deviation comparison signal, wherein the parameter and the magnitude have a mathematical relationship therebetween.
