In an example, the multimedia data C&P device comprises a multimedia sensor configured to capture a first multimedia data; and a device processor configured to obtain a preset information, and generate a second multimedia data according to the first multimedia data and the preset information, at least a part of the second multimedia data presenting the preset information. The present application also relates to a user terminal and multimedia data processing server.

Claims

1. A multimedia data capture and processing (C&

P) device, comprising;

a multimedia sensor configured to capture a first multimedia data, wherein the multimedia sensor comprises an image sensor integrated and embedded during manufacture of said image sensor with a plurality of preset information and a predetermined key for comparing to an unlock code input, wherein the plurality of preset information is for broadcasting to people and being viewed by people and the content of the plurality of preset information is selected from logo, image, company name, video clip, website name, manufacturer name, trademark, advertisement, audio clip, message, and advertising slogan;

and a device processor configured to obtain one or more preset information from the plurality of preset information randomly, generate a second multimedia data according to the first multimedia data and the obtained one or more preset information, at least a part of the second multimedia data presenting the obtained one or more preset information and an original portion of the first multimedia data is hidden in a data file but in an encrypted way, and send the second multimedia data to an output device;

wherein the device processor stops generating the second multimedia data and directly sends the first multimedia data to the output device, if the device processor receives the unlock code input and compares it to the predetermined key and the unlock code is consistent with the predetermined key.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the device processor obtains the preset information having a multimedia format which is compatible with that of the first multimedia data from said plurality of preset information stored in the image sensor, and takes the obtained preset information as a third multimedia data.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the device processor generates the second multimedia data by combining the first multimedia data and the third multimedia data.

4. The device of claim 2, wherein in the case that the first multimedia data and the third multimedia data are both images or videos, or in the case that the first multimedia data is a video and the third multimedia data is an image, the device processor inserts the third multimedia data at one corner of the first multimedia data to generate the second multimedia data.

5. The device of claim 2, wherein in the case that the first multimedia data and the third multimedia data are both audios, or in the case that the first multimedia data is a video and the third multimedia data is an audio, the device processor inserts the third multimedia into the first multimedia data at predetermined intervals to generate the second multimedia data.

6. The device of claim 2, further comprising a memory configured to store one or a plurality of data formats.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein the device processor obtains a data format from the plurality of data formats randomly or based on the content of the first multimedia data, generates a third multimedia data according to the preset information having a plain-text format and the obtained data format, and generates the second multimedia data by combining the first multimedia data and the third multimedia data.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the preset information is an advertising information.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein the advertising information is an advertising information of a manufacturer of the image sensor.

10. A user terminal, comprising:

a terminal processor configured to generate a multimedia data capturing instruction for capturing a first multimedia data;

a multimedia data capture and processing (C&

P) device comprising;

a multimedia sensor configured to capture the first multimedia data, wherein the multimedia sensor comprises an image sensor integrated and embedded during manufacture of said image sensor with a plurality of preset information and a predetermined key for comparing to an unlock code input, wherein the plurality of preset information is for broadcasting to people and being viewed by people and the content of the plurality of preset information is selected from logo, image, company name, video clip, website name, manufacturer name, trademark, advertisement, audio clip, message, and advertising slogan; and

a device processor configured to obtain one or more preset information from the plurality of preset information randomly, and generate a second multimedia data according to the first multimedia data and the obtained one or more preset information, at least a part of the second multimedia data presenting the obtained one or more preset information and an original portion of the first multimedia data is hidden in a data file but in an encrypted way; and

an output device configured to receive the second multimedia and output it to a user;

wherein the device processor stops generating the second multimedia data and directly sends the first multimedia data to the output device, if the device processor receives the unlock code input and compares it to the predetermined key and the unlock code is consistent with the predetermined key.

11. The terminal of claim 10, further comprising an input device configured to receive the unlock code for disabling the generation of the second multimedia data.

12. The terminal of claim 10, further comprising a communication device in communication with a multimedia data processing server and configured to send the second multimedia data to the multimedia data processing server for an inverse multimedia data processing, and to receive the first multimedia data from the multimedia data processing server.

13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the communication device is also in communication with an information server and further configured to receiving the preset information from the information server.

14. The terminal of claim 13, wherein the preset information is an advertising information.

15. A multimedia data processing server implemented with computer processor and memory, comprising:

(i) a communication device in communication with a user terminal, wherein the user terminal comprises;
