摘要:
A data embedding method and apparatus and a data reproducing method and apparatus are provided which can apply a digital watermark to various contents. Instead of embedding watermarking information in respective pixels or by using a relation between pixels, the watermarking information is embedded as a position pattern of changed pixels in the contents. Reliability comparable with conventional techniques can be obtained irrespective of a change in a smaller number of pixels for the contents.

A receiving device comprises a signal demodulator circuit for demodulating an encrypted video signal and attribute information including information for decoding an encryption, an attribute information identifying circuit for identifying and outputting the attribute information, and a descramble circuit for unscrambling the video signal obtained from the signal demodulator circuit, based on the output produced from the attribute information identifying circuit. A signal re-scrambled in accordance with a device ID signal is recorded in a recording and reproducing device. Further, the recording of the signal is controlled based on the output obtained from the attribute information identifying circuit.

Electronic watermark information obtained by changing a luminance value of a luminance signal in a video signal and a copy generation management signal (CGMS signal) inserted into an area out of a scan region of the video signal are recorded into a recording medium. A reproducing apparatus comprises an electronic watermark information detecting circuit, a CGMS signal detecting circuit, a control circuit to which detected electronic watermark information and CGMS signal are supplied, and a video signal processing circuit controlled by an output of the control circuit. When the electronic watermark information and the CGMS signal have a rational relation, the video signal processing circuit is controlled to output the video signal.

A method of recording digital signals on a disk having at least a first recording surface and a second recording surface. The digital signals are in the form of a data frame including a lead-in block and n data blocks. The lead-in block has a same format as the n data blocks. The method includes the steps of assigning n block addresses to respective ones of the n data blocks, assigning, to each of the n data blocks, information identifying an area on the disk in which a respective one of the n data blocks is to be recorded, recording m data block (0
摘要:
Information or contents cannot be reproduced even from a regular storage medium which is encrypted in accordance with a predetermined encryption system, due to erroneous detection of watermarks. Detection of the watermarks and restriction over reproduction depending thereon is conducted only in a case where the medium is not encrypted. In case of detecting that the data is not encrypted in accordance with a predetermined encryption system by an encryption detection circuit and when the watermarks are detected by a watermark detection circuit, reproduction of the data is stopped by a reproduction restricting circuit. In a case that it is detected to be encrypted in the predetermined encryption system by the encryption detection circuit, the reproduction restricting circuit will not stop the reproduction thereof.

An apparatus for reproducing digital signals recorded on a disk having first and second recording surfaces. The digital signals are in the form of a data frame including a lead-in block and n data blocks. The lead-in block has a same format as the n data blocks. n block addresses are assigned to the n data blocks. Information identifying an area on the disk in which the n data blocks is recorded is assigned to the n data blocks. m data blocks (0
摘要:
A quick retry operation is possible by outputting an error flag pertaining to a sector after error correction processing of digital data. When an output of an error detection flag unit for a correction block indicates the existence of an uncorrectable error, the sectors are checked to see if the sectors corresponding to retrieved data include any error or not based on output from a sector error flag register B. When the sectors are judged as error, signals are retrieved again from a storage medium, restored in a memory, and an error correction processing is repeated again. The data such as that of P pictures or B pictures of MPEG which can be reproduced even with errors are output even when the error detection flag unit indicates the existence of the uncorrectable error. It enables identification of the sectors with the errors and simplifies the following operations pertaining to the error at a data receiving side by outputting the error flag along with the data.
摘要:
In an apparatus for recording and reproducing a burst-like digital information signal, a methd capable of predicting the time of occurrence of a header indicating the head of the first data of a digital information signal during its reproduction from a recording medium. The digital signal includes a plurality of data blocks each including a header indicative of the head of the block, and each header includes the address of the block. During recording of the digital signal on the recording medium, a plurality of headers which are substantially the same as the headers of the data blocks and including addresses having given relations with the addresses of the data blocks are inserted in a clock regenerating signal recorded before the digital signal for regenerating the clocks for the signal. The headers are inserted at a period equal to the length of each data block so as to be synchronized with the headers of the data blocks.
