TRANSMARKING OF MULTIMEDIA SIGNALS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving data representing video, the data comprising at least first digital watermarking embedded therein;
decoding the first digital watermarking embedded in the data to obtain a first identifier; and
thenconverting the data into low bandwidth Internet video;
embedding at least the first identifier with digital watermarking into converted low bandwidth Internet video, the identifier identifying at least the video.

Abstract
The presently claimed invention relates generally to digital watermarking and data hiding. One claim recites a method including: receiving data representing video, the data comprising at least first digital watermarking embedded therein; decoding the first digital watermarking embedded in the data to obtain a first identifier; and then converting the data into low bandwidth Internet video; and embedding at least the first identifier with digital watermarking into converted low bandwidth Internet video, the identifier identifying at least the video. Another claim recites a method including obtaining data representing at least video; analyzing the data to determine whether a first digital watermark is present in the data; if the first digital watermark is present in the data, embedding a second digital watermark in the data, the second digital watermark is more robust to an anticipated transformation relative to the first digital watermark; and then transforming the data according to the anticipated transformation. Of course, other combinations are described, enabled and claimed as well.

17. A method comprising:
-
obtaining data representing audio or video, the data comprising first digital watermarking hidden therein through alterations to data representing audio portions or video picture elements; removing the first digital watermarking from the data so that the first digital watermarking is no longer detectable from the data; embedding second digital watermarking in the data, the second digital watermarking being less perceptible to a human observer of the audio or video relative to the first digital watermarking; and transforming the data to a different format, the different format comprising a relatively higher quality relative to the data when obtained. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
