Abstract

An electronic apparatus and an operating method of a web-platform, the method including: executing a web application in the electronic apparatus; parsing a root layer corresponding to a most significant node having a tree structure for a visual configuration of a web page displayed by the web application; processing the root layer to have less or a reduced amount of data resident in a graphic memory as the web application is executed; and rendering a graphic layer, except the root layer, from the nodes forming the tree structure in real time. Thus, the root layer is processed so that less or reduced data can be resident in the GPU memory, thereby improving the graphic processing performance of the GPU with even a low bandwidth.

Claims

1. A method of operating a web-platform in an electronic apparatus in which at least one application is installed and driven, the method comprising:

executing a web application in the electronic apparatus;

parsing a root layer corresponding to a most significant node having a tree structure for a visual configuration of a web page displayed by the web application;

processing the root layer to reduce data resident in a graphic memory as the web application is executed; and

rendering a graphic layer, except the root layer, from nodes forming the tree structure in real time.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising storing the root layer as a compressed file, wherein the processing the root layer comprises rendering the root layer by loading the compressed file.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising designating a storage path for the compressed file, wherein the processing the root layer comprises loading the compressed file of the storage path.

4. The method according to claim 2, further comprising parsing text from the root layer, wherein the storing the root layer as the compressed file comprises compressing and storing the root layer except the text.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the text is rendered in real time as included in the graphic layer.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the processing the root layer comprises processing scalable vector graphics (SVG) data.

7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:

storing the scalable vector graphics data; and

designating a storage path for the scalable vector graphics data,

wherein the processing the root layer comprises loading the scalable vector graphics data of the storage path.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the processing the root layer comprises using an open vector graphics (openVG) rendering process.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the processing the root layer comprises removing the root layer.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the root layer corresponds to background content of the web page displayed by the web application.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the web page comprises web content provided in a form of one of cascading style sheets (CSS), a hypertext mark-up language (HTML), and JavaScript (JS).

12. An electronic apparatus in which at least one application is installed and driven, the electronic apparatus comprising:

a graphic processor configured to process graphic data;

a graphic memory configured to store data used in processing the graphic data; and

a web engine configured to control the graphic processor to parse a root layer corresponding to a most significant node having a tree structure for a visual configuration of a web page displayed by a web application when the web application is executed in the electronic apparatus, process the root layer to reduce data resident in the graphic memory, and render a graphic layer, except the root layer, from nodes forming the tree structure in real time.

13. The electronic apparatus according to claim 12, wherein

the root layer is stored as a compressed file in the electronic apparatus, and

the web engine renders the root layer by loading the compressed file.

14. The electronic apparatus according to claim 13, wherein

a storage path is designated for the compressed file in the web page, and

the web engine loads the compressed file of the storage path.

15. The electronic apparatus according to claim 13, wherein if the root layer comprises a text, the text is parsed from the root layer, and the root layer, except the text, is compressed and stored.

16. The electronic apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the text is included in the graphic layer and rendered by the web engine in real time.

17. The electronic apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the web engine processes the root layer as scalable vector graphics (SVG) data.

18. The electronic apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the scalable vector graphics data is stored in the electronic apparatus, and a storage path is designated for the scalable vector graphics data in the web page, and the web engine loads the scalable vector graphics data of the storage path.

19. The electronic apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the web engine uses an open vector graphics (openVG) rendering process to process the root layer.

20. The electronic apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the web engine removes the root layer.

21. The electronic apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the root layer corresponds to a background content of the web page displayed by the web application.

22. The electronic apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the web page comprises web content provided in a form of one of cascading style sheets (CSS), a hypertext mark-up language (HTML), and JavaScript (JS).
