INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus for embedding information in electronic document data that has been input thereto, comprising:
- image generating means for generating a document image from the electronic document data;
detecting means for detecting layout information of each constituent image in the generated document image;
calculating means for calculating normalization information, which is for normalizing placement of each constituent image, based upon the detected layout information; and
embedding means for modifying the electronic document data based upon the calculated normalization information and embedding information in the modified electronic document data.

Abstract
A watermark information embedding apparatus generates a document image from electronic document data that has been input thereto, modifies the electronic document data based upon the document image and embeds information in the electronic document data. The apparatus includes a document image generator for generating a document image from the electronic document data; a document analyzer for detecting layout information of each constituent image in the generated document image; a normalization information calculation unit for calculating normalization information, which is for normalizing placement of each constituent image, based upon the detected layout information; a modification unit for modifying the electronic document data; and an embedding unit for embedding information in the modified electronic document data.
