METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING EXTENDED PAYLOADS WITH COMPOSITE WATERMARKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18473617 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING EXTENDED PAYLOADS WITH COMPOSITE WATERMARKS
The abstract of this patent application describes methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for delivering extended payloads with composite watermarks. This involves embedding a first watermark and a second watermark into a media stream, each with its own technology, indicator bit, and payload. The indicator bits determine whether the payloads are to be combined when the watermarks are decoded.
- Embedding multiple watermarks in a media stream using different technologies
- Including indicator bits in each watermark to control payload combination
- Delivering extended payloads with composite watermarks
- Ensuring proper decoding of watermarks by indicating payload combination
- Enhancing media stream security and tracking capabilities
Potential Applications: - Digital content protection - Copyright enforcement - Anti-piracy measures - Media tracking and monitoring - Data authentication and verification
Problems Solved: - Preventing unauthorized distribution of digital content - Ensuring content ownership and rights protection - Enhancing security and tracking of media streams - Combating piracy and illegal sharing of copyrighted material
Benefits: - Improved content protection and security - Enhanced tracking and monitoring capabilities - Increased control over digital media distribution - Strengthened copyright enforcement measures - Enhanced data authentication and verification processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Digital Content Protection and Tracking Technology This technology can be utilized by digital content providers, media companies, online platforms, and copyright holders to protect their content, track its distribution, and enforce copyright regulations. It can have significant implications in the digital media industry, helping companies safeguard their intellectual property and combat piracy effectively.
Questions about Enhanced Digital Content Protection and Tracking Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional digital watermarking methods? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing composite watermarks for extended payloads in real-world applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for delivering extended payloads with composite watermarks. Examples disclosed herein embed a first watermark into a media stream in accordance with a first watermark technology, where the first watermark includes a first indicator bit and a first payload. Disclosed examples also embed a second watermark into the media stream in accordance with a second watermark technology, where the second watermark includes a second indicator bit and a second payload. In some disclosed examples, the first indicator bit and the second indicator bit are to indicate whether the first payload and the second payload are to be combined when the first watermark and the second watermark are decoded.
