Abstract

A motor control method for rotating an optical disc to be accessed by an optical head includes steps of: providing an increasing power to rotate a motor at increasing speed when a seeking operation of the optical head is performed; and interrupting the increasing power when a jumping operation of the optical head is performed.

Claims (6)

1. A method for controlling the rotation of an optical disc to be accessed by an optical head, comprising steps of:

driving a motor to rotate the optical disc at a first speed when the optical head is disposed at a first position relative to the optical disc;

determining the movement of the optical head;

accelerating the motor to rotate the optical disc at a second speed higher than the first speed when the optical head is moving from the first position to a second position relative to the optical disc, wherein a distance between the first position and the second position is smaller than a first threshold; and

maintaining the motor to rotate the optical disc at the first speed when the optical head is moving from the first position to a third position relative to the optical disc, wherein a distance between the first position and the third position is greater than a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

2. The motor control method according to claim 1 further comprising a step of driving the motor to rotate at a third speed higher than the first speed when the optical head is moving from the third position to a fourth position relative to the optical disc, wherein a distance between the third position and the fourth position is smaller than the first threshold.
