Abstract
Disclosed are an electronic device and a data compression method thereof. According to a data compression method of an electronic device of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: compressing a page; determining whether data included in the compressed page is stored in a memory; and merging the compressed page with data previously stored in the memory when a result of the determination shows that the data included in the compressed page is the same as the previously stored data. Therefore, the electronic device can prevent a page including the same or similar data from being stored a multiple number of times in a swap area, thereby raising memory securing efficiency.
