Abstract: Image, video, or audio data is encoded with both a frail and a robust watermark. The two watermarks respond differently to different forms of processing (e.g., copying the object may render the frail watermark unreadable), permitting an original object to be distinguished from a processed object. Appropriate action can then taken in response thereto.

Abstract: An additional data useful for the management of copies of a document for an image forming apparatus is embedded in a hard copy of the document. The additional data is embedded in an inherent image of a document as discrete dots arranged in a prescribed format. Preferably, the size of each of said discrete dots is not so large as to be recognized easily with naked eyes. The additional data can be embedded in unit of blocks. Further, the density of the discrete dots is different from the density adjacent to the discrete dots. The image data for embedding an additional data can be obtained by reading a document, or by receiving data sent from a computer or read from a floppy disk. An additional data embedded in a hard copy can be extracted from the image data on the hard copy. Further, the production of a copy according to the image data can be controlled according to the extracted additional data. For example, if the additional data means that the source of the hard copy is a secret document, the copying is allowed only for a legitimate user. An additional data is generated for each copy according to the extracted additional data for embedding it in a hard copy to identify each copy. The additional data generated for each copy are compiled and they are used to manage copies of various sources systematically and illegal copies can be traced easily. If the additional data received from a printer is not consistent with the additional data already stored, the printing may be prohibited. A transmitter for transmitting an additional data may be provided in a document such as a book.

Abstract translation: 用于管理图像形成装置的文档的副本的附加数据被嵌入文档的硬拷贝中。 附加数据嵌入文档的固有图像中，作为以规定格式排列的离散点。 优选地，每个所述离散点的尺寸不是很大，以致容易用肉眼识别。 附加数据可以以块为单位嵌入。 此外，离散点的密度与离散点相邻的密度不同。 用于嵌入附加数据的图像数据可以通过读取文档或通过接收从计算机发送的数据或从软盘读取来获得。 可以从硬拷贝上的图像数据中提取嵌入在硬拷贝中的附加数据。 此外，可以根据所提取的附加数据来控制根据图像数据的副本的制作。 例如，如果附加数据意味着硬拷贝的来源是秘密文件，则仅允许合法用户复制。 根据提取的附加数据为每个副本生成附加数据，以将其嵌入硬拷贝中以识别每个副本。 为每个副本生成的附加数据进行编译，并用于系统地管理各种源的副本，并且可以轻松地跟踪非法副本。 如果从打印机接收到的附加数据与已经存储的附加数据不一致，则可能禁止打印。 用于发送附加数据的发送器可以在诸如书籍的文档中提供。

Abstract: An electronic-mail receiver, a converter, a controller, a facsimile transmitter, and an output system are integrated in a body of an apparatus. The electronic-mail receiver receives an electronic-mail including image data in an electronic-mail format. The converter converts the image data in an electronic-mail format into image data in facsimile format. The controller determines whether the received electronic-mail is directed to facsimile transmission. The facsimile transmitter negotiates with a facsimile destination, and transmits the converted image data in the facsimile format to the facsimile destination via a telephone network, when the controller determines that the received electronic-mail is directed to facsimile transmission. The printer outputs the image data in the facsimile format when the controller determines that the received electronic-mail address is not directed to facsimile transmission.

Abstract: A cell phone is disclosed for acquiring information to be transmitted to a receiving facility and for transmitting such thereto. A capture device captures information from an external source. A processor is provided for associating with the captured information a representation of the date and time of the capture of the information, such that the representation of the date and time information in association with the captured information forms augmented captured information. The processor also places the augmented captured information in association with subscriber information in a transmission of the augmented captured information to a receiving facility requiring such subscriber information. A transmitter transmits the transmission including the augmented captured information and the subscriber information to the receiving facility. An encryptor encrypts the augmented captured information with a symmetrical encryption algorithm to provide encrypted augmented captured information in the transmission with the subscriber information.

Abstract: A data-bearing image (391) is created from a carrier image (371). The carrier image (371) is scaled to produce a scaled image. A clustered-dot halftone screen is applied to the scaled image to produce a halftone image. A resulting number of cells in the halftone image conforms to a cell count (372) that includes a horizontal cell value and a vertical cell value. Payload data is encoded into the halftone image to produce a data-bearing halftone image, including shifting pixel clusters within cells of the halftone image that include pixel clusters.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus to process a digital image is provided. The method may comprise receiving host image data, receiving audio data and embedding the audio data within the host image data to provide an embedded image wherein the audio data if freely recoverable from the embedded image. The method may comprise processing the audio data using a Short Term Fourier Transformation (STFT) prior to embedding the audio data within the host image data. The method may reduce an amount of digital data that represents an audio signal included in the audio data prior to embedding the audio data within the host image. In one embodiment, the method comprises quantizing magnitude data and discarding phase data of the audio signal to provide the audio data for embedding. The method may comprise quantizing the audio data to match a shell of a D4 Lattice.
