Abstract
A method and system for synthesizing electronic watermarks is disclosed. The method includes generating electronic watermark sounds for music data by converting harmonic overtones that match the music data into signals. The generated electronic watermark sounds are then synthesized into the music data. The synthesized electronic watermark sounds and the music data are then output via various ways. In one embodiment, an encoded music file is generated, which can be sent to a recipient via a network or recorded on any of various recording media for distribution.
Claims23
A method of synthesizing electronic watermarks, the method comprising:
- generating electronic watermark sounds for original music data comprising converting harmonic overtones that match the original music data into signals;
- synthesizing the generated electronic watermark sounds into the original music data;
- and
- outputting watermarked music data comprising the synthesized electronic watermark sounds and the original music data, wherein the electronic watermark sounds do not contain consonances matching the tonality of the original music data.
A system for synthesizing electronic watermarks, the system comprising:
- a generation process configured to generate electronic watermark sounds for music data comprising
- a converting process configured to convert harmonic overtones that match the music data into signals;
- a synthesis process configured to synthesize the generated electronic watermark sounds into the music data;
- and
- an output process configured to output the synthesized electronic watermark sounds and the music data.
A computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for synthesizing electronic watermarks, the computer readable code comprising instructions for:
- generating electronic watermark sounds for music data comprising converting harmonic overtones that match the music data into signals;
- synthesizing the generated electronic watermark sounds into the music data;
- and
- outputting the synthesized electronic watermark sounds and the music data.
A method of synthesizing electronic watermarks, the method comprising:
- generating electronic watermark sounds for music data comprising converting harmonic overtones that match the music data into signals;
- synthesizing the generated electronic watermark sounds into the music data, wherein the auditory sound quality of the music data is not affected significantly;
- and
- outputting the synthesized electronic watermark sounds and the music data.
A method of synthesizing electronic watermarks, the method comprising:
- a) generating electronic watermark sounds for original music data comprising
- i) determining orders of harmonic overtones for the original music data, and
- ii) converting the determined orders of harmonic overtones into signals;
- b) synthesizing the generated electronic watermark sounds into the original music data;
- and
- c) outputting watermarked music data comprising the synthesized electronic watermark sounds and the original music data.
