    Abstract: An optical sensing method capable of changing a sensing direction of an optical sensing module is applied to a portable device, which includes a housing, an optical sensing module and an optical diverting mechanism. The optical sensing module is disposed inside the housing. The optical sensing module includes an optical emitter adapted to emit an optical sensing signal out of the housing and an optical receiver adapted to receive an optical modulated signal reflected from an external object. The optical diverting mechanism is adjacent by the optical sensing module. The optical sensing signal is directly projected while the optical sensing signal is not diverted by the optical diverting mechanism, and the optical sensing signal is transmitted to a second direction different from the first direction while the optical sensing signal is diverted by the optical diverting mechanism.
