Abstract

A display apparatus is disclosed, the display apparatus including: communication circuitry configured to receive a web-based content comprising a plurality of objects; a display configured to display an image; a memory configured to be loaded with data of the image displayed on the display; and at least one processor configured to load data of a first object in the memory and to not load data of a second object in the memory if an area of the first object is displayed to cover areas of one or more second objects of the plurality of objects of the web-based contents.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

communication circuitry configured to communicate with a content source;

a memory; and

a processor configured to process;

to receive a web-based content comprising a first object and a second object through the communication circuitry;

in response to determining that the first object is disposed to cover the second object in a content image to be displayed, to determine whether the first object needs to call out a first preset application programming interface (API);

in response to determining that the first object does not need to call out the first preset API, to load data of the first object and the second object in the memory;

in response to determining that the first object needs to call out the first preset API, to load data of the first object, but not the second object, in the memory; and

to display the content image on the display based on the data loaded in the memory.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to process to determine whether the first object is subject to a 3D graphic process in response to an instruction for covering the second object with the first object, and to process the first object to be resized and displayed based on the instruction based on determining that the first object is subject to the 3D graphic process.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to process to determine that the first object is subject to the 3D graphic process based on the first object being processed by calling out a second preset application programming interface (API) when the first object is loaded in the memory.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the second preset API comprises a web graphic library (WebGL).

5. The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor comprises:

a central processing unit (CPU) configured to extract the first and second objects from the web-based content; and

a graphic processing unit (GPU) configured to process an object of the first and second objects extracted by the CPU that is subject to a 3D graphic process.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the GPU is configured to load the memory with textures obtained by rendering the first object transferred from the CPU, to compose a plurality of textures based on the textures being loaded in the memory, and to process one texture as the content image without composition based on one texture being loaded in the memory.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in response to determining that the first object is disposed to cover the second object, the first object is displayed on a whole display area preset to display the content image in the display.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the web-based content comprises a web page.

9. A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

communication circuitry configured to communicate with a content source and receive web content comprising a first object and a second object;

a memory; and

a processor configured to;

display a content image on the display based on data loaded in the memory;

receive an instruction for the first object to cover the second object in the content image;

identify whether the first object is to be processed by a GPU (graphic processing unit);

load data of the first object and data of the second object in the memory based on identifying that the first object is not to be processed by the GPU; and

load data of the first object, but not data of the second object, in the memory based on identifying that the first object is to be processed by the GPU.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the web content comprises a web page.

11. A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a web-based content comprising a first object and a second object;

in response to determining that the first object is disposed to cover the second object in a content image to be displayed, determining whether the first object needs to call out a first preset application programming interface (API);

in response to determining that the first object does not need to call out the first preset API, loading data of the first object and the second object in a memory;

in response to determining that the first object needs to call out the first preset API, loading data of the first object, but not the second object, in the memory; and

displaying the content image on a display based on the data loaded in the memory.

12. The method according to claim 11, further comprising:

determining whether the first object is subject to a 3D graphic process in response to an instruction for covering the second object with the first object; and

processing the first object to be resized and displayed based on the instruction based on determining that the first object is subject to the 3D graphic process.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the first object is determined to be subject to the 3D graphic process based on the first object being processed by calling out a second preset API when the first object is loaded in the memory.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the second preset API comprises a WebGL.

15. The method according to claim 11, wherein, in response to determining that the first object is disposed to cover the second object, the first object is displayed on a whole display area preset to display the content image in the display.

16. The method according to claim 11, wherein the web-based content comprises a web page.
