Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an apparatus, method and computer-readable medium rendering three-dimensional (3D) graphics. The 3D graphics rendering apparatus, method and computer-readable medium may predict a screen area to be updated in a subsequent frame based on at least one of object information of a current frame, rendered data of the current frame, and object information of the subsequent frame, and may extract rendering data of the predicted screen area from one of the current frame and the subsequent frame.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for rendering three-dimensional (3D) graphics, comprising: a processor to control one or more processor-executable units; a rendering unit to generate rendered data of a current frame based on rendered data of a previous frame; and an update preparation unit to predict a screen area to be updated in a subsequent frame based on at least one of object information associated with objects forming the current frame, the rendered data of the curre…
