PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inclination detection apparatus and an inclination detection method, capable of using as a substitute of an acceleration detection apparatus or an angular velocity detection apparatus. SOLUTION: The inclination detection method uses a pair of electrodes placed so as to face each other and having a fixed positional relation and an electric conductor which can move between the pair of electrodes, wherein the pair of electrodes are in either a conducting state or a nonconducting state depending on the position of the movable electric conductor. The conducting state in a predetermined period is expressed as any one of a plurality of level values, and a movement state of the pair of electrodes is estimated based on which of the plurality of level values the conducting state is.
