    Abstract: Various improvements to data processing systems involve enhancements to BIOS functionality, use of identifiers associated with specific instances of hardware, and data hiding techniques—sometimes alone, sometimes in combination. Many of these improvements can be applied to increase the security of computer systems, and networks of which they form part.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems to improve network searching for watermarked content. In some implementations we employ keyword searching to narrow the universe of possible URL candidates. A resulting URL list is searched for digital watermarking. A system is provided to allow customer input. For example, a customer enters keywords or network locations. The keywords or network locations are provided to a watermark-enabled web browser which accesses locations associated with the keywords or network locations. Some implementations of the present invention employ a plurality of distributed watermark-enabled web browsers. Other aspects of the invention provide methods and system to facilitate desktop searching and automated metadata gathering and generating. In one implementation a digital watermark is used to determine whether metadata associated with an image or audio file is current or fresh. The metadata is updated when it is out of date. Watermarks can also be used to link to or facilitate so-called on-line “blogs” (or online conversations).

    Abstract: A number of novel watermarking applications, and improvements to watermarking methods, are disclosed. Included are techniques for encoding printed circuit boards and street signs with watermarks, deterring credit card fraud and controlling software licensing using watermarks, registering collectibles via watermarks, encoding the margins of printed pages with watermarks, and using watermarks to convey extra information in video by which fidelity of the rendered video may be improved. One particular arrangement is a method in which a PDA, wristwatch, or other portable device with a display screen presents a pattern that includes a machine-readable identifier. This image is sensed by a separate device, such as a webcam or a camera-equipped cell phone. The sensing device can then take an action based on the identifier. In some arrangements, the action is personalized to the user.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of securing messages steganographically embedded in media (e.g., printed or electronic objects, audio and video). In one implementation, a message includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first message and a first checksum, which are encrypted with a private key. The encrypted first portion is combined with the second portion. The second portion includes a second message and as second checksum. The combined encrypted first portion and the second portion form a signature. The signature is encrypted with a common or universal key, perhaps after error correction coding. The private key is uniquely associated with an entity such as a document issuing jurisdiction. In another implementation, a method appends information to a watermark message received from a remote device. The information preferably corresponds to the remote device or to a user of the remote device. In yet another implementation, a method provides standardized watermark payloads from various input data, regardless of the size of the input data.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种确保隐藏在媒体(例如,印刷或电子对象,音频和视频)中的消息的方法。 在一个实现中,消息包括第一部分和第二部分。 第一部分包括用私钥加密的第一消息和第一校验和。 加密的第一部分与第二部分组合。 第二部分包括第二消息和第二校验和。 组合加密的第一部分和第二部分形成签名。 签名使用公共密钥或通用密钥进行加密,也许在纠错编码之后。 私钥与诸如发布管辖区的文档等实体唯一相关联。 在另一实现中,一种方法将信息附加到从远程设备接收的水印消息。 信息优选地对应于远程设备或远程设备的用户。 在又一实现中,一种方法提供来自各种输入数据的标准化水印有效载荷,而与输入数据的大小无关。

    Abstract: A system where collateral information in a file or image is used together with information concerning a particular user's characteristics to direct a user to a particular web site. A user is direct to a web site and presented with information based both upon the original collateral information and information from the data base of user's characteristics. In one embodiment, a file or data stream includes collateral data that identifies the URL of a central web site. When a file containing the collateral data is transferred to a browser, the central web site is accessed and it interrogates a data base containing various information. The output of the data base search is another URL that directs the browser that received the original collateral data to another web site which then sends information to the user. In an alternate embodiment, a user uses a handheld digital camera to gather information from images such as magazine covers or product boxes. The images contain digital watermarks that carry collateral data. The collateral data is used to interrogate either a local or a remote database which contains information pertinent to the particular user's characteristics.
