Zusammenfassung:A drive control apparatus and a control method are provided for controlling driving of an engine valve (10) of an internal combustion engine, utilizing an electromagnetic force generated by an electromagnet or electromagnets (61, 62). A magnitude of an external force applied to the engine valve is estimated, and a target operating state of the engine valve is set in view of the estimated magnitude of the external force. Then, a current applied to the electromagnet(s) is controlled in accordance with an actual operating state and the target operating state of the engine valve, so that the actual operating state substantially coincides with the target operating state.
