Methods and apparatus for robust embedded data
First Claim
1. A method of embedding auxiliary information in data, said method comprising:
- receiving data and correlated data, the correlated data being related to but independent from the received data, in which the received data comprises audio or video and the correlated data comprises song lyrics;
receiving auxiliary information, the auxiliary information being independent of the received data and the correlated data;
using an electronic logic processor, changing the auxiliary information based on the correlated data; and
using an electronic logic processor, embedding the changed auxiliary information in the received data.

Abstract
The present invention describes methods and apparatus involving embedding data. Data can be embedded steganographically in content or embedded in, e.g., headers associated with the content. In one implementation, a method of embedding auxiliary information in data is provided. The method includes receiving data and correlated data. The correlated data is related to but independent from the received data. The method further includes receiving auxiliary information, the auxiliary information being independent of the received data and the correlated data; changing the auxiliary information based on at least the correlated data; and embedding the changed auxiliary information in the received data. Other implementations are also provided.
