Abstract
A computing device is configured to receive media content and determine if the received media content includes a stego message. If the media content includes a stego message, then the computing device is further configured to decode at least a portion of the stego message, and perform a task based in part on the decoded portion of the stego message.
Claims25
A method, comprising:
- receiving a media content in a computing device;
- determining if the media content includes a stego message;
- if the media content includes a stego message, then decoding at least a portion of the stego message;
- and
- performing a task based in part on the decoded portion of the stego message.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a content processing device configured to selectively receive a streaming media signal, determine whether the streaming media signal includes a stego message, and provide a copy of the stego message to another computing device;
- and
- a stego server configured to selectively receive a stego message from the content processing device, decode at least a portion of the stego message, and provide an instruction to the content processing device based on the decoded portion of the stego message.
A system, comprising:
- an emitter positioned near a source of media content and configured to embed an encoded stego message in the media content;
- a controller in communication with the emitter and configured to provide the encoded stego message to the emitter;
- and
- a computing device configured to receive a streaming media signal that includes the encoded stego message, decode at least a portion of the encoded stego message, and perform a task based at least in part on the decoded portion of the stego message.
