Abstract
A drive control apparatus includes an opening-and-closing body. A first driver drives the opening-and-closing body in a closing direction. A second driver moves the opening-and-closing body from a half-latched position to a fully-latched position. A fully-latched detector detects that the opening-and-closing body has reached the fully-latched position. A stop detector detects whether a predetermined stopping condition has been satisfied for stopping the driving of the opening-and-closing body in the closing direction. A drive controller is configured to drive the opening-and-closing body via the first driver in the closing direction. Upon the fully-latched detector detecting that the opening-and-closing body has reached the fully-latched position, the second driver ends operation and the first driver continues to drive the opening-and-closing body in the closing direction until the stop detector detects that the predetermined stopping condition is satisfied.
