1. A method of distinguishing between messages in a sequence of frames that include image information, the method comprising:
- detecting a first context change between a first and a second frame,detecting a second context change between a third and a fourth frame,comparing the time period between the first and the second context changes with a first threshold value, andindicating said message in dependence on said comparison.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and to a system for detecting a first context change between two frames. When a second context change between a further two frames occurs within a predetermined time interval, the frames accommodated within the two context changes are defined as a subliminal message. An alarm is sent to an observer upon detection of a subliminal message.

19. A system for automatically detecting subliminal messages in a frame sequence, the system comprising:
means for measuring context changes between two frames in the frame sequence;
means for initiating an alarm;
means for storing a frame sequence;
means for calculating a time difference between two context changes;
means for comparing a measured time difference with a threshold value; and
means for initiating an alarm in response to the outcome of said means for comparing.
