Methods for analyzing electronic media including video and audio
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving audio or imagery, via a computing device, wherein the audio or imagery comprises a digital watermark hidden therein through alterations to data representing the audio or imagery, and wherein the hidden digital watermark comprises at least plural-bit auxiliary data;
analyzing, via the computing device, the audio or imagery to decode the plural-bit auxiliary data therefrom;
encrypting, via the computing device, the plural-bit auxiliary data according to a pattern;
providing, via the computing device, the encrypted plural-bit auxiliary data to a remote registry; and
receiving, via the computing device, at least a response from the remote registry.

Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods and apparatus for analyzing audio and video. One claim recites: a method including at a network access point, and using a programmed electronic processor, analyzing data representing audio or video to extract identifying information therefrom, the analyzing operates on data representing audible portions of the audio or operates on data representing picture elements of the video; using the identifying information, determining whether to allow the audio or video to be communicated through the network access point; and providing details associated with said act of determining. Of course, other combinations are provided and claimed as well.
