    摘要: A method for assigning unique printer resolutions or signatures, i.e., a unique number of dots per inch, to a class, or models of printers or lines of postage meters. The number of dots per inch or resolution may be specified within a image on a document or within a postal indicia and later checked to determine if the image on document or the postal indicia has the correct resolution. The foregoing would be able to detect an image or postal indicia that was scanned into a computer and printed with a printer that did not have the number of dots per inch specified in the image or postal indicia.

    摘要: A method for producing a background image representing data. The background image is created by; producing a first encoding of data into a first binary array; producing a second encoding of the data into a second binary array; representing the first binary array as a first set of modules of a first size of n×n pixels wherein each pixel is either white or black and every pixel in the module is identical to every other picture in the module on nodes of a first lattice, representing the second binary array as a first set of modules of a second size, of m×m wherein each pixel is either white or black and every pixel in the module is identical to every other pixel in the module, which is smaller than the first size on nodes of a second lattice, combining the first and second sets of modules; and printing the first and second sets of modules.

    摘要: The present invention includes apparatus and methods for printing and verifying postage stamps on demand via a personal postage stamp printer. The indicia by which the stamp is printed includes a color bar sequence and a data field including data that corresponds to the color bar sequence. To authenticate the stamp, the data field is read and the color bar sequence data included in the data field is compared with the data generated by detecting the color bar sequence itself.

    摘要: The present invention includes apparatus and methods for printing and verifying postage stamps on demand via a personal postage stamp printer. The indicium by which the stamp is printed includes a color stripe and a data field including authentication data that corresponds to the color stripe. To authenticate the stamp, the authentication data in the data field is read and compared with authentication data extracted from the color stripe.

    摘要: The number of dots per inch or resolution may be specified within a image on a document or within a postal indicia and later checked to determine if the image or document or the postal indicia has the correct resolution. The foregoing is accomplished by specifying that the image on the substrate will be printed with n plus m dots per inch; rotating a ink jet head having n nozzles per inch about a axis parallel to a substrate by an angle &thgr; so that the ink jet head will produce an image on the substrate having (n/cos &thgr;) dots per inch; storing in a data center that the specified image will be printed with (n/cos &thgr;) dots per inch; analyzing the image to determine if the image has (n/cos &thgr;) dots per inch; and comparing the number of dots per inch in the analyzed image with the number of dots per inch stored for the specified image to determine if they have the same number of dots per inch.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to digital watermarking. In one embodiment, a method of detecting copying of a printed object is provided. In another embodiment, a method is provided to measure digital watermark strength. In yet another embodiment, and for printing applications, an embedded digital watermark may be used to carry printer information that is later decoded by a watermark decoder and used to examine a digital scan of a printed object and determine whether the printed object is authentic. Other embodiments are provided as well.
