Abstract: A network scanner, communication protocols, and client and server programs and are provided which provide an improved way to transmit legally binding documents, obviating the need for outmoded, legacy fax transmissions. Using the network scanner, a document may be scanned and transferred directly into any shared folder inbox residing on any computer attached to the Internet. Enhanced server systems and network communications and messaging protocols are provided that are more practical to use than email for sending documents such as executed legal documents or other documents requiring robust integrity and authenticatability. Similarly, the inventive network scanner, server systems and communication protocols provide improved ways to perform large file transfers and to manage bandwidth to minimize problems associated with uploading/downloading large files as attachments to/from email servers and for enabling user control over VoIP quality during file transmission sessions.

Abstract: A system and method for digital watermarking a video signal with an increased bit rate is achieved by inserting the additional information which constitutes the watermarking signal within the video signal on the chrominance signal. Thus, the additional information is “impressed” upon the chrominance component of the video signal. The human visual system is much less sensitive to chrominance than to luminance, and therefore, additional distortion which results from the higher bit rate can be allowed on the chrominance signal and yet such distortion will not be detected by the human visual system.

Abstract translation: 通过将构成视频信号内的水印信号的附加信息插入到色度信号上来实现用于以增加的比特率对视频信号进行数字水印的系统和方法。 因此，附加信息对视频信号的色度分量“印象深刻”。 人类视觉系统对色度的敏感度要比对亮度敏感，因此可以在色度信号上允许由较高比特率引起的附加失真，但这种失真不会被人类视觉系统检测到。

Abstract: Each bit of information that is impressed upon a video signal is impressed upon each pixel of a block of pixels of the video signal a video signal so as to reduce errors in transmission of the additional information. Prior to impression, the additional information may be further coded, e.g., using channel coding, interleaving, and differential encoding. A receiver performs complimentary processes to recover the additional data.

Abstract: This patent document relates generally to steganography and digital watermarking. One claim recites, in a watermark encoder, a method of encoding auxiliary information in an image or video comprising: using a programmed electronic processor, computing a change in an attribute of an image or video sample to encode auxiliary information in the image or video; and changing color values of the image or video sample to effect the change in the attribute, in which changes to color values are determined based at least in part on both: i) visibility of the changes, and ii) anticipated watermark detection. Of course, other claims are provided too.

Abstract: Image integrity in an archive can be verified using document characteristics. Embodiments of the invention provide a way to verify the integrity of a stored document image by determining document characteristics, which can also be embedded in the image file. Before allowing access to the image file by an application, the characteristics data from an image analysis can be compared to either or both of, characteristics information otherwise stored, or embedded characteristics data. The embedded data can optionally be encrypted. In example embodiments the data can include a result of an optical character recognition of contents of the document, a length of data describing the image, a percentage of a specified color of pixels in the image, or a checksum. Example embedding techniques can include those making use of a tagged image file format (TIFF) header, a steganographic watermark, or an image artifact.
