Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display data obtaining device that obtains display data to be displayed in a display device, a storage control device that causes a storage device to store the obtained display data, a display control device that reads the display data from the storage device, and causes the display device to display the display data, and a deletion device that deletes the display data displayed in the display device among the display data stored in the storage device, from the storage device, in timing when it is determined that the display data has been displayed in the display device.

Claims

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display data obtaining device configured to obtain display data to be displayed in a display device;

a storage control device configured to cause a storage device to store the obtained display data;

a display control device configured to read the display data from the storage device, and to cause the display device to display the display data; and

a deletion device configured to delete the display data displayed in the display device among the display data stored in the storage device, from the storage device, in timing when it is determined that the display data has been displayed in the display device.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display device is a display device with memory properties capable of maintaining a display state of images without receiving power supply and

when a display rewriting process of the display data in the display device is performed by the display control device, the deletion device is configured to delete the display data displayed in the display device by the display rewriting process, from the storage device.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an instructions receiving device configured to receive instructions, wherein the storage control device obtains contents constituted by a plurality of display data, and causes the storage device to store the contents,

when a display of the contents is instructed by the instructions receiving device, the display control device configured to cause the display device to display each of the display data constituting the contents, and

when a termination of the display of the contents is instructed by the instructions receiving device, the deletion device configured to delete a plurality of the display data constituting the contents, from the storage device.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an instructions receiving device configured to receive instructions, wherein the storage device is a nonvolatile storage device and

when instructions to turn the display apparatus off are provided by the instructions receiving device, the deletion device is configured to delete all display data stored in the storage device, from the storage device.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an instruction receiving device configured to receive instructions, wherein the storage device is a volatile storage device and

when instructions to turn the display apparatus off are provided by the instructions receiving device, the deletion device is configured to delete all display data stored in the storage device, from the storage device.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein in the case where the display device is a display device with memory properties capable of maintaining a display state of images without receiving power supply,

when instructions to turn the display apparatus off are provided by the instructions receiving device, the display control device is configured to terminate a display of the display data being displayed in the display device.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein in the case where the display device is a display device with memory properties capable of maintaining a display state of images without receiving power supply,

when instructions to turn the display apparatus off are provided by the instructions receiving device, the display control device is configured to terminate a display of the display data being displayed in the display device.

8. A computer-readable recording medium in which a display data deletion program is recorded,

the display data deletion program causing a computer to function as:

a display data obtaining device configured to obtain display data to be displayed in a display device;

a storage control device configured to cause a storage device to store the obtained display data;

a display control device configured to read the display data from the storage device, and to cause the display device to display the display data; and

a deletion device configured to delete the display data displayed in the display device among the display data stored in the storage device, from the storage device, in timing when it is determined that the display data has been displayed in the display device.

9. A display data deletion method, comprising:

a process of obtaining display data to be displayed in a display device;

a process of causing a storage device to store the obtained display data;

a process of reading the display data from the storage device, and causing the display device to display the display data; and

a process of deleting the display data displayed in the display device among the display data stored in the storage device, from the storage device, in timing when it is determined that the display data has been displayed in the display device.
