摘要:
An encoding apparatus includes a first encoding unit adapted to encode inputted data, an interleaving unit adapted to interleave the inputted data, and a second encoding unit adapted to encode an output of the interleaving unit. The encoding apparatus executes a first encoding algorithm using the first encoding unit, and executes a second encoding algorithm using the first encoding unit, the interleaving unit and the second encoding unit. Furthermore, the encoding apparatus shares the first encoding unit when the encoding apparatus executes the first and second encoding algorithms in parallel.

Copyright information embedded in a digital content can always be sampled and the copyright of the digital content can be protected reliably, by using a sampling program which is automatically activated and samples the copyright information from the digital content. For example, the digital content added with the sampling program is distributed or an application program added with the sampling program for utilizing the digital content is distributed so that the copyright information can be reliably sampled from the digital content and the utilization of the digital content can be controlled in accordance with the copyright information. If a file containing a plurality of digital contents is used, copyright information is embedded in each digital content and the copyright information is sampled from each digital content. It is possible to control the utilization of each digital content in accordance with the sampled copyright information.
摘要:
Provided are an information processing apparatus, method, program and storage medium whereby prescribed additional information such as a digital watermark can be embedded directly in encoded data, and later extracted, without decoding data that has been compressed and encoded by the JPEG scheme, etc. First, encoded data, which is information that has been encoded, is input from an encoded data input unit (101). An embed coefficient is selected in an embed coefficient selector (102) block by prescribed block, and a code transformation unit (103) replaces the encoded data by different encoded data, which corresponds to the input encoded data, input using a transformation table (104), whereby a digital watermark is embedded.
摘要:
A data-processing system and method for controlling synthesizing digital-signature information. The system and method include holding first private-key information, inputting second private-key information, generating third private-key information based on the first private-key information and the second private-key information, holding the third private-key information, generating signature information based on information to be verified and the third private-key information, and outputting the information to be verified and the signature information.
摘要:
To provide a variety of methods for extracting digital watermark information from an image as correctly as possible. For example, a first pattern arrangement and a second pattern arrangement which is different from the first pattern arrangement for use in a calculation for extracting the digital watermark information are provided. A state of an original image without the digital watermark information embedded is inferred, using a second pattern arrangement, and a reliability of the digital watermark information to be extracted in accordance with the state is determined. Or to decide the embedding position of the digital watermark information from the image data, the extracting start position is discriminated by detecting the positional information by multiple times at the different extracting start positions. Or to detect a geometrical distortion, a registration signal is embedded on the image.
摘要:
A registration signal embedding method of embedding registration signals adaptively in accordance with image signals. The frequency property of image data is determined, and either a first registration signal or a second registration signal is selected in accordance with the frequency property, and is added to image data. The registration embedded in this way has the advantage of increased resistance and easy detection.
摘要:
This invention provides a technique capable of always keeping digital watermark information embedded in image data having the embedded digital watermark information by an optimum scheme on the basis of a time factor, or removing a digital watermark, or erasing the image data. An apparatus for achieving the above object has functions of holding image data having additional information embedded as a digital watermark, detecting time information related to the image data, and changing the embedding scheme for the additional information as the digital watermark embedded in the image data on the basis of the detected time information.
摘要:
The invention efficiently controls the method for embedding digital watermark information into digital information or detecting such digital watermark information. Also in case the digital information has components of different kinds, the invention enables individual management of the digital watermark information and information indicating the embedding method therefor. In a configuration for attaining these objects, there are provided input means for inputting the digital information composed of signal components of plural kinds, and control means for controlling the method for embedding the digital watermark information in the signal component of a first kind contained in the signal components of plural kinds, based on the signal component of a second kind contained in the signal components of plural kinds.
摘要:
It is an object of this invention to reliably pad electronic water-mark information even in a moving image constituted by a plurality of frames whose contents hardly change and easily pad electronic water-mark information even in a general moving image obtained by photographing an object at one angle. In order to achieve this object, there is provided an electronic water-mark information padding scheme of padding electronic water-mark information in only intraframe-encoded data without padding any electronic water-mark information in interframe-encoded data.
摘要:
An accounting apparatus has a money input, by which a user can input an amount of money into the apparatus. A receiver receives a body of information transmitted over a communication medium, and a register is arranged to store at least two data received with such body of information. A control unit processes the at least two data in the register received with such body of information, and the amount input by the user via the money input, and an indicator indicates to the user whether the user is permitted access to the body of information, based on a result of processing provided by the control unit.
