Apparatus and method for processing data

A method of acquiring information for rendering an image in a display apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring information representing one or more geometric shapes included in the image;
• acquiring, from the acquired information, information about a repeated shape that represents at least a part of the one or more geometric shapes and repeatedly occurs in the one or more geometric shapes;
• and
• acquiring rendering information that represents a method of rendering the one or more geometric shapes based on the information about the repeated shape, wherein the one or more geometric shapes are rendered based on the information about the repeated shape and the rendering information;
• wherein a first partial shape and a second partial shape are determined as the repeated shape, among one or more partial shapes respectively representing parts of the one or more geometric shapes, in response to determining that there is an approximate matching or an exact matching between the first partial shape and the second partial shape, and
• wherein at least one of information about the first partial shape and information about the second partial shape is stored as the information about the repeated shape, by using a lossy compression method in response to determining that there is the approximate matching between the first partial shape and the second partial shape, and by using a lossless compression method in response to determining that there is the exact matching between the first partial shape and the second partial shape.

A display apparatus for rendering an image, the display apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• acquire information about a repeated shape that represents at least a part of one or more geometric shapes included in the image and repeatedly occurs in the one or more geometric shapes;
• acquire rendering information that represents a method of rendering the one or more geometric shapes based on the information about the repeated shape;
• and
• render the one or more geometric shapes based on the information about the repeated shape and the rendering information,
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine a first partial shape and a second partial shape as the repeated shape, among one or more partial shapes respectively representing parts of the one or more geometric shapes, in response to determining that there is an approximate matching or an exact matching between the first partial shape and the second partial shape, and
• wherein the memory is further configured to store at least one of information about the first partial shape and information about the second partial shape as the information about the repeated shape, by using a lossy compression method in response to determining that there is the approximate matching between the first partial shape and the second partial shape, and by using a lossless compression method in response to determining that there is the exact matching between the first partial shape and the second partial shape.
