To prevent the peak power/current consumption from exceeding a permitted level when more than one active mechanical mechanism of an electronic device (e.g., an optical storage apparatus) is involved in accomplishing a particular task, a method of controlling the electronic device is provided. The electronic device has a plurality of mechanical mechanisms including at least a first mechanical mechanism and a second mechanical mechanism. The method includes following steps: driving the first mechanical mechanism by applying a first control signal to the first mechanical mechanism; driving the second mechanical mechanism by applying a second control signal to the second mechanical mechanism; comparing the first control signal with a first predetermined threshold, and accordingly generating a first comparison result; and selectively adjusting the second control signal according to at least the first comparison result.
A method of controlling an electronic device which has a plurality of mechanical mechanisms including at least a first mechanical mechanism and a second mechanical mechanism, the method comprising:
An electronic device, comprising:
