    Abstract: Conventionally, during a copy operation, certain advanced mode settings make the extraction of additional security information impossible. In order to solve this problem, the print control apparatus includes: determining unit for determining an interval between a pattern element and a pattern element adjacent to the pattern element from the received image data; and control unit for performing a control so as to scale the image at a magnification specified by a user and have the scaled image printed by a printing apparatus when the product of the magnification specified by the user and the interval determined by the determining unit falls within a predetermined range, and configured to terminate or interrupt the printing of the image by the printing apparatus when the product of the magnification specified by the user and the interval determined by the determining unit does not fall within the predetermined range.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a watermark generation method for generating watermarks to be embedded in digital media, where said watermark is generated by combining at least two watermark patterns from a set of watermark patterns. The set of watermark patterns are divided into at least two subsets of watermark patterns, and the subsets are hierarchically related and the watermark patterns in said watermark are directly related watermark patterns. Directly related means that the watermark patterns are related like parent and child in a hierarchical structure e.g. a tree structure. Further, the invention relates to an apparatus adapted to generate watermarks to be embedded in media.

    Abstract: A print image generating program is capable of printing information that discourages fraudulent distribution of printed documents, irrespective of the type of printer. A print image generating apparatus has an application, a printer driver, a print management unit, and a virtual driver, and is designed to add tracking information that discourages distribution of printed documents when print data is printed. The print management unit monitors print requests from the application. When detecting a print request which was output from the application to the printer driver, the print management unit acquires and interrupts the print request destined for the printer driver. When the virtual driver receives a command from the print management unit, it acquires print data and tracking information, and generates tracking print image data by adding the tracking information to the print data, and gives the generated data to the printer driver.

    Abstract: A method for creating a differential gloss image includes providing first and second anisotropic halftone structures. The first and second anisotropic structures have different orientations. One of the first and second anisotropic structures is applied to image data in a first region of an image to be halftoned. The other of the first and second anisotropic structures may be applied to image data in a second region of an image to be halftoned. A mixture of the first and second anisotropic structures is applied to image data in a third region of the image to be halftoned, whereby when printed, the three regions each have a gloss characteristic which differs from that of the other two regions.

    Abstract: A method of protecting digital data by embedding a watermark in the digital data is discloses. The watermark identifies a specific user who originally downloaded the digital data. The watermark comprises data that when read reveals a user's account information, a user identifier, a user's real name, a data identifier, a content provider identifier, a device identifier, or a combination of these. Since any copies of the digital data contain the original download user's watermark, users will not allow the digital data to be illegally copied or shared as the original user can be punished or prosecuted for unauthorized sharing of the digital data. The method effectively and efficiently protects digital data without the need for cumbersome digital rights management system.
