Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for certifying and subsequently authenticating original physical or digital documents. The concept of the evidence lies in the dual nature of a physical information item and a digital information item, one being the reference for the other that cannot lie amended at the risk of the evidence being lost. For a physical original document (8) associated with a bubble seal (7) there is a corresponding time-and-date-stamped, proprietary paperless reference counterpart. For a time-and-date-stamped, proprietary digital original document (15) there is a corresponding reference counterpart in the form of a bubble seal (7).

Abstract: An image processing device of the present invention includes a management section for storing an authentication level set in accordance with the volume of image processing which is predicted in accordance with at least one of day and time. When a request for image processing to image data is made, an authentication section changes the authentication level for user authentication in accordance with at least one of day and time. Then, in accordance with this authentication result, requested image processing is performed.

Abstract: A visible digital watermark is applied to output images from a computer program. Various attributes of the watermark are modified from image to image, making the watermark difficult to remove. For example, a watermark indicating “not for commercial use” can be applied to all output images from the program. Such watermarking permits full functioning demonstration versions of the computer program to be freely distributed to users while commercial use is inhibited. This is accomplished by a minimal level of intrusiveness to file sharing capabilities between a commercial version of the software and a non-commercial version of the software.

Abstract: A system for watermarking and distributing material includes a data processing apparatus, which operates as a watermark encoder. The data processing apparatus is operable to process an original material item to form a reduced-bandwidth-version of the material item, marked with a code word from a predetermined set of code words. The data processing apparatus is operable to form an impaired version of the material item from which a marked representation of the original material item can be formed. The impaired version is formed by subtracting the reduced-bandwidth-version of the material item from a copy of the original material item. As such, the impaired version can be mass distributed, but a representation of the original material item cannot be formed without the reduced-bandwidth-version of the material item. By watermarking the reduced-bandwidth-versions, a representation of the material item, formed by combining one of the marked reduced-bandwidth-versions with the impaired material item, can be uniquely identified. However, only a low bandwidth part of the material item need be watermark encoded, which is more easily distributable to individual recipients than watermarked copies of the original material item.

Abstract translation: 用于水印和分发材料的系统包括作为水印编码器操作的数据处理装置。 数据处理装置可操作以处理原材料项目以形成从预定代码字集合标记的代码字的材料项目的减少带宽版本。 数据处理装置可操作以形成材料项目的受损版本，从中可以形成原始物料的标记表示。 受损版本是通过从原始物料项目的副本中减去材料项目的减少带宽版本而形成的。 因此，受损版本可以是质量分布的，但是如果没有材料项目的减少带宽版本，则不能形成原始材料项目的表示。 通过对减少带宽版本进行水印处理，可以唯一地识别通过将标记的减少带宽版本与受损材料项组合而形成的材料项目的表示。 然而，只有材料项目的低带宽部分需要进行水印编码，这比原始材料项目的水印副本更容易分配给单个接收者。

Abstract: A computer is provided with an application and a printer driver. A user of the computer generates image data using the application. When the image data is for a plurality of pages, the user selects a desired watermark for each of the plurality of pages. The printer driver converts the image data into print data, and combines selected watermarks with the print data for corresponding pages, thereby generating updated print data. The updated print data is output as a single print job to the printer. The printer executes printing operations based on the print job so as to print an image on a plurality of pages, each formed with a corresponding watermark.

Abstract: A digitized signal is published with a blank watermark, i.e., a watermark which contains no specific watermark data, and a server computer system encodes specific watermark data into the watermark signal for each delivery of the digitized signal. A basis signal which is used to watermark a digitized signal is predetermined to enable embedding of transaction-specific watermark data to be embedded in the subject signal with minimal processing resources. Since the basis signal generally accounts for the majority of the processing resources required to watermark the subject signal, only a relatively small portion of the requisite processing resources are used to embed transaction-specific watermark into the subject signal.

Abstract translation: 数字化信号用空白水印（即，不包含特定水印数据的水印）发布，并且服务器计算机系统将特定水印数据编码为数字化信号的每次传送的水印信号。 用于对数字化信号进行水印的基准信号是预定的，以便以最少的处理资源嵌入嵌入在被摄体信号中的交易专用水印数据。 由于基本信号通常占用对主体信号进行水印所需的处理资源的大部分，所以只需要相当小部分的必要处理资源来将事务特定水印嵌入到对象信号中。
