摘要:
Enables identification and detection of processing and type of digital content, while using multiple electronic watermarks. One embodiment provides a data processing detection system having an embedding apparatus for adding a predetermined additional signal to digital content, including a watermark design unit and embedding signal generators for generating multiple types of additional signals, correlated with each other and of differing robustness from each other for the processing of the content data, and a synthesis unit for adding the multiple types of additional signals to the content data; and detection apparatus for detecting additional signals in the digital content, and for detecting the additional signals embedded by the embedding apparatus, including an individual detector for detecting in the content data multiple additional signals, and a determination unit for examining deterioration levels of the additional signals to determine the type of processing performed for the content data.

A system and method for verifying that a document is included in a document management system is disclosed. This system and method includes radio frequency scanning at least a portion of the document, generating document data dependently upon the radio frequency scanning, comparing the generated document data to stored document data, the stored document data generated dependently upon a prior radio frequency scanning of at least a portion of the document, and outputting an indication of the document being included in the document management system as determined by the comparing.
摘要:
Information available at a decoder is embedded into image content after decoding by first representing that information by at least one film grain pattern and then blending that at least one film grain pattern with the decoded image content. Such image content is typically in the form of a movie and examples of the information to be embedded include identification of the specific decoding device, the user of the decoding device, the time and date of decoding, the model number of the device, the versions of software running on the device, the status of the device or connections to the device, the contents of device registers or memory locations within the device, among many other possible data. When an unauthorized copy of image content is discovered, the copied image content undergoes a comparison to the decoded image content to generate difference data. Thereafter, the difference data undergoes comparison with a database of film grain patterns to recover the embedded data.
摘要:
The present invention relates to digital watermarking and steganographic embedding. In one implementation a method is provided to help associate usage rights with media. The usage rights are used by a rights management system to control how the media is handled by the system. In response to the associating, an identifier is provided and embedded in the media in a steganographic manner.
摘要:
An image transfer system has an extracting section that extracts image areas from a document image read by a reading section. A digital signature providing section provides sender's digital signatures to the image areas according to degrees of secrecy. An image file creating section creates an image file including image areas with the sender's digital signatures provided by the digital signature providing section and a sending section sends the image file to a receiving section. A digital signature acquiring section acquires receiver's digital signatures for restricting image areas to be presented to a user. An image area selecting section selects image areas to be presented to the user in accordance with the sender's digital signatures in the image file received by the receiving section and the receiver's digital signatures acquired by the digital signature acquiring section. An output section outputs image areas selected by the image area selecting section.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus which makes it possible to change the manner of authentication between cases where restriction of a specific process is performed on an image of an original, as an original document, and where the restriction of the specific process is performed on an image of an original, as a copy of the original document. A scanner reads an image on an original. An embedded information-extracting section extracts specific information contained in the read image. A determining section determines based on the extracted information whether or not the original is an original document. An authenticating section performs authentication using respective difference pieces of authentication information in cases where the original is determined to be an original document and where the original is not. A copy operation control section restricts the specific process based on the image, according to a result of the authentication.
摘要:
A camera-equipped portable device captures visual information (e.g., from a movie), ascertains a corresponding identifier, and uses the identifier to enable one or more further functions. One of these can be internet search. Such functionality can also be based on digital data—without requiring a camera capability.
摘要:
According to the present invention, authenticities of paper fingerprint information and of document information are collectively determined through formation of an original that is given an encoded image in which both paper fingerprint information and document information are encoded. By collectively guaranteeing identities of the paper form and of the document, it becomes possible to realize the more reliable authenticity guarantee.
摘要:
Stationery, or other printable media, is encoded with a digital watermark. The watermark is not conspicuous to a human observer of the media, yet conveys plural bits of auxiliary information when optically scanned and digitally processed. The watermark can be formed by ink-jet printing, or otherwise. The encoded information can be used for various purposes, including authenticating the document as an original, linking to associated on-line resources, and distinguishing seemingly-identical versions of the same document (document serialization).
摘要:
Image, video, and/or audio data is encoded with at least first and second watermarks. In one implementation a method includes: receiving content; embedding a first watermark signal in the content; compressing the content; embedding a second watermark signal in the content. The first watermark signal and the second watermark signal are designed to respond differently to at least a first type of signal processing. Other implementations are also provided.
