    Abstract: The acoustic signal transmission method is based on generating a synthesized sound electrical signal by electrically synthesizing an audible sound signal and another signal different than the audible sound signal at the sending side, and transmitting the synthesized sound electrical signal, and extracting the another signal different than the audible sound signal from the synthesized sound electrical signal at the receiving side. Here, generation of the synthesized sound electrical signal is made by using a data hiding technique, for example. Accordingly, the acoustic signal represented by the synthesized sound electrical signal can be heard by human ears in the same way as the audible sound signal, and the synthesized another signal cannot be detected by human ears. Here, the synthesized sound electrical signal can be transmitted as a sound wave in air space, as electrical signal through a transmission line or as radio signals such as infrared and electromagnetic waves.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for robust watermark insertion and extraction for digital set-top boxes are disclosed and may include descrambling, detecting watermarking messages in a received video signal utilizing a watermark message parser, and immediately watermarking the descrambled video signal utilizing an embedded CPU. The embedded CPU may utilize code that may be signed by an authorized key, encrypted externally to the chip, decrypted, and stored in memory in a region off-limits to other processors. The video signal may be watermarked in a decompressed domain. The enabling of the watermarking may be verified utilizing a watchdog timer. The descriptors corresponding to the watermarking may be stored in memory that may be inaccessible by the main CPU. The watermark may comprise unique identifier data specific to the chip and a time stamp, and may be encrypted utilizing an on-chip combinatorial function.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed that enables the transmission of a digital message along with a corresponding information signal, such as audio or video. The supplemental information contained in digital messages can be used for a variety of purposes, such as enabling or enhancing packet authentication. In particular, a telecommunications device that is processing an information signal from its user, such as a speech signal, encrypts the information signal by performing a bitwise exclusive-or of an encryption key stream with the information signal stream. The device, such as a telecommunications endpoint, then intersperses the bits of the digital message throughout the encrypted signal in place of those bits overwritten, in a process referred to as “watermarking.” The endpoint then transmits the interspersed digital message bits as part of a composite signal that also comprises the encrypted information bits. No additional bits are appended to the packet to be transmitted, thereby addressing compatibility issues.

    Abstract: Spread spectrum technology and the related inserted or added information signal can be used for implementing watermarking digital audio signals. A known processing for retrieving at receiver or decoder side the watermark signal information bit from the spread spectrum is convolving the received or replayed spectrum with a spreading function that is time-inverse with respect to the original spreading function. If BPSK modulation was used for applying the spread spectrum function, the output is a peak at the middle of the sequence of correlation values, the sign of such peak representing the value of the desired watermark signal information bit. According to the invention, in order to cope with echo distortions, two or more orthogonal spreading sequences are used at encoder side with the original or encoded audio signal in baseband. When applying the corresponding time-inverse orthogonal spreading sequences at decoder side, echoes that are longer than each one of spreading sequence's lengths can be fully removed. The spreading sequences applied can be modified at decoder side according to estimated echo delay values.

    Abstract: An encoder is arranged to add a binary code bit to block of a signal by selecting, within the block, (i) a reference frequency within the predetermined signal bandwidth, (ii) a first code frequency having a first predetermined offset from the reference frequency, and (iii) a second code frequency having a second predetermined offset from the reference frequency. The spectral amplitude of the signal at the first code frequency is increased so as to render the spectral amplitude at the first code frequency a maximum in its neighborhood of frequencies and is decreased at the second code frequency so as to render the spectral amplitude at the second code frequency a minimum in its neighborhood of frequencies. Alternatively, the portion of the signal at one of the first and second code frequencies whose spectral amplitude is smaller may be designated as a modifiable signal component such that, in order to indicate the binary bit, the phase of the modifiable signal component is changed so that this phase differs within a predetermined amount from the phase of the reference signal component. As a still further alternative, the spectral amplitude of the first code frequency may be swapped with a spectral amplitude of a frequency having a maximum amplitude in the first neighborhood of frequencies and the spectral amplitude of the second code frequency may be swapped with a spectral amplitude of a frequency having a minimum amplitude in the second neighborhood of frequencies. A decoder may be arranged to decode the binary bit.

    Abstract: Music is blanket transmitted (for example, via satellite downlink transmission) to each customer's user station where selected music files are recorded. Customers preselect from a list of available music in advance using an interactive screen selector, and pay only for music that they choose to playback for their enjoyment. An antipiracy nullID tagnull is woven into the recorded music so that any illegal copies therefrom may be traced to the purchase transaction. Music is transmitted on a fixed schedule or through an active scheduling process that monitors music requests from all or a subset of satellite receivers and adjust scheduling according to demand for various CD's. Receivers store selections that are likely to be preferred by a specific customer. In those instances where weather conditions, motion of atmospheric layers or dish obstructions result in data loss, the system downloads the next transmission of the requested CD and uses both transmissions to produce a nullgood copynull. In conjunction with the blanket transmission of more popular music, an automated CD manufacturing facility may be provided to manufacture CD's that are not frequently requested and distribute them by ground transportation.
