  • Patent number: 7451320
    Abstract: A specific frequency component extraction unit extracts a specific frequency component signal from an input image signal. A phase controller controls the phase of the specific frequency component signal. A correlator computes the cross-correlation value of the phase-controlled specific frequency component signal and the input image signal. A watermark information estimation unit filters the cross-correlation value to detect watermark information embedded in the input image signal.

  • Patent number: 7302573
    Abstract: A computer system with a monitor display, comprises a decoder unit configured to decode video data containing digital watermark information to derive decoded data, and configured to determine, based on information included in the video data, whether or not first certification for certifying that the video data is legitimately reproduced data succeeds, and a graphics controller which determines, using the digital watermark information, whether or not second certification for certifying that the video data is to be protected from being copied succeeds, the graphics controller converting the decoded data into a protected decoded data from being copied and outputting the protected decoded data to the monitor display if the first certification and the second certification succeed, and the graphics controller inhibiting the decoded data from being output to the monitor display if the first certification fails and the second certification succeeds.
