摘要： The present invention relates to toys and game applications that are enhanced with digital watermarks. In one embodiment, a character card includes a unique identifier in the form of a digital watermark. The identifier is used to link to a database record, which can be updated to reflect changes in game attributes. Some such game attributes include life, character type and name, health, strength, and power levels. The data record can be updated or modified to reflect changes in attributes due to activity or events during a computer software game. The database record can be used by the computer software game to alter or enhance the game. In another embodiment, a toy interacts with toy components or cards via digital watermarks. Digital watermarks enhance games, toys and books in still other embodiments.

摘要： This disclosure describes methods for using embedded auxiliary signals in documents for copy detection and other applications. In on application, the auxiliary signal is formed as an array of elements selected from a set of print structures with properties that change differently in response to copy operations. These changes in properties of the print structures that carry the embedded auxiliary signal are automatically detectable. For example, the changes make the embedded auxiliary signal more or less detectable. The extent to which the auxiliary data is detected forms a detection metric used in combination with one or more other metrics to differentiate copies from originals. Examples of sets of properties of the print structures that change differently in response to copy operations include sets of colors (including different types of inks), sets of screens or dot structures that have varying dot gain, sets of structures with different aliasing effects, etc. Robust and fragile watermarks are used in Image Replacement Documents for a variety of applications. Digital watermarks act as on-board mediators in authentication of a variety of printed documents. Finally, digital watermarks are used to help manage quality of the scanners used in imaging systems.
摘要翻译：本公开描述了在用于复制检测和其他应用的文档中使用嵌入式辅助信号的方法。在应用中，辅助信号被形成为从一组打印结构中选择的元素的阵列，其具有响应于复制操作而改变的属性。携带嵌入式辅助信号的打印结构的这些属性变化可以自动检测。例如，这些改变使得嵌入式辅助信号或多或少被检测出来。检测辅助数据的程度形成与一个或多个其他度量结合使用的检测度量，以区分副本与原件。对于复制操作而改变不同的打印结构的属性集合的示例包括具有不同的点增益的颜色（包括不同类型的墨水），屏幕或点结构的集合，具有不同混叠效果的结构集合等图像替换文档中使用了强大而脆弱的水印，用于各种应用。数字水印作为各种印刷文件认证中的板载介质。最后，数字水印用于帮助管理成像系统中使用的扫描仪的质量。

摘要： A number of novel watermarking applications, and improvements to watermarking methods, are disclosed. Included are techniques for encoding printed circuit boards and street signs with watermarks, deterring credit card fraud and controlling software licensing using watermarks, registering collectibles via watermarks, encoding the margins of printed pages with watermarks, and using watermarks to convey extra information in video by which fidelity of the rendered video may be improved. One particular arrangement is a method in which a PDA, wristwatch, or other portable device with a display screen presents a pattern that includes a machine-readable identifier. This image is sensed by a separate device, such as a webcam or a camera-equipped cell phone. The sensing device can then take an action based on the identifier. In some arrangements, the action is personalized to the user.

摘要： Stationery, or other printable media, is encoded with a digital watermark. The watermark is not conspicuous to a human observer of the media, yet conveys plural bits of auxiliary information when optically scanned and digitally processed. The watermark can be formed by ink-jet printing, or otherwise. The encoded information can be used for various purposes, including authenticating the document as an original, linking to associated on-line resources, and distinguishing seemingly-identical versions of the same document (document serialization).
摘要翻译：文具或其他可印刷介质用数字水印进行编码。水印对于媒体的人类观察者不是显眼的，而是在光学扫描和数字处理时传达多位辅助信息。水印可以通过喷墨打印形成，或者以其他方式形成。编码信息可以用于各种目的，包括将文档认证为原始文件，链接到相关联的在线资源，以及区分相同文档（文档序列化）的看似相同的版本。

摘要： The pages of a children's book are marked in a machine-readable manner (e.g., by imperceptible digital watermark technology). When such a page is shown to a camera-equipped computer device, the watermark is decoded, and the story text from that page is read aloud to a child. A number of variants are contemplated, including using book pages as entry points to corresponding videos; using books to link to corresponding interactive web sites or multi-player games; incorporating the camera in a plush toy; evoking different responses from the system by using the book to convey gestures to the camera; providing such functionality in cell phones, set top boxes, and Bluetooth-equipped devices; customizing read-aloud stories using words provided by the child or a parent; etc.
摘要翻译：儿童书的页面以机器可读的方式标记（例如，通过不可察觉的数字水印技术）。当将这样的页面显示给配备有相机的计算机设备时，水印被解码，并且来自该页面的故事文本被朗读给小孩。考虑了许多变型，包括使用书页作为相应视频的入口点; 使用书籍链接到相应的互动网站或多玩家游戏; 将相机并入毛绒玩具中; 通过使用本书将手势传达给相机，唤起系统的不同响应; 在手机，机顶盒和配备蓝牙的设备中提供这样的功能; 使用小孩或父母提供的单词自定义朗读故事; 等等
