Embodiment
Below, the execution mode of many information of the present invention being imbedded method and many information identifying methods with reference to accompanying drawing describes.
Fig. 1 imbeds the concept map of method for many information of the present invention.Many information flush mounting of the present invention is meant that at least one the function that literal is appeared in one's mind in the functions such as function and forbidding is duplicated, follows the trail of, sent automatically, confidential information is hidden and read automatically is embedded to device in the printing image simultaneously as shading, has input step 1, imbeds step 2 and output step 3.Traditional device or method, having literal, to appear function in one's mind just can only be that literal appears function in one's mind, having the copy function of forbidding just can only be to forbid copy function, simple function can only be appended in the printing image, and the present invention can append to a plurality of functions in the print media simultaneously by matrix that uses back described information module group and the half-tone screen code with screen characteristic.
Described input step 1, the additional information of object is imbedded in input, and the printing image that reads the information of will imbedding.
The described step 2 of imbedding, the additional information data of imbedding object of front by input step 1 input can be transformed into as information and imbed code, promptly possess at least one characteristic in gamma characteristic, interval characteristics and the distribution character of printing screen site at least and can carry out the information record of geometric or physical distribution of pattern recognition or the half-tone screen code that information is imbedded code.Gray value characteristic described here is though be the same from the different in fact gray values of microcosmic pattern promptly.Because utilized " gamma characteristic of printing screen ", so even different dot pattern (can write down different information) looks it is identical in appearance, this is because the identical principle of gray scale.In addition, utilize the spacing relation of site and neighbour node, promptly the site is more little, and the site is big more at interval, more little " the site interval characteristics " of influence to the half-tone screen code of the printing image of having imbedded information can reduce the influence to printing image (shading has been imbedded additional information)." site interval characteristics " also has following characteristic, when printing precision during less than 1200dpi, by the Ruili criterion as can be known the size of site be easy to be identified by the human eye out, therefore adopt amplitude modulation screen effect relatively good, promptly, if adjusting site spacing makes it to reach the size greater than the site, the network point distribution randomness that is caused by the information of imbedding will seem smaller so.Otherwise, when printing precision during greater than 1200dpi, by the Ruili criterion as can be known the size of site be difficult for being identified by the human eye out, therefore for can more imbed information, adopt frequency modulation screen effect relatively good, promptly, scalable site spacing makes it to be less than the size of site, even the network point distribution random distribution that is caused by the information of imbedding so, because the size of site is difficult for being identified by the human eye out, therefore the network point distribution randomness that is caused by the information of imbedding can not show.In addition, utilize " distribution character of printing screen site ", the printing interference in can suppressing to print by the distribution angle that changes the site.Below, we are elaborated to the printing interference.
So-called printing interference, and the interference pattern that produce overlapping with regard to the pattern that is meant a plurality of rules.Here, we said be different printing interference that cause of line number owing to line number and the printer or the printing machine of dot pattern.
The bar number of supposing parallel lines is L n, the bar number is respectively L N1And L N2Parallel lines in any two printings when overlapping frequency of interfering be P m, can derive following formula (1).
P m=|L n1-L n2| (1)
The period T that printing is interfered m, as shown in Equation 2, be the inverse of printing interference frequencies.
T m = 1 | L n 1 - L n 2 | - - - ( 2 )
By formula 2 as can be known, do not print interference in the time of making two parallel lines overlapping, the frequency that printing is interfered must be 0.That is, the difference of bar number is more little, and the frequency that printing is interfered is low more, and the cycle that printing is interfered is also long more, and the printing that produce this moment is interfered not obvious more.
If the angle of 2 groups grid is rotated 45 °, we will be suppressed to print the appearance of interference to greatest extent.
In the present embodiment, all use the dot pattern of 45 degree to distribute,, also can suppress to occur in the printing printing interference even the precision of printing machine is very low.
Imbedding step 2 can be with the formation of half-tone screen code, with dot pattern (having comprised the information matrix formed by a plurality of sites and position reference information, the error correction information of this each site of information matrix of identification) thus form be distributed in the printing image and constitute new printing image.About the distribution of half-tone screen code, will describe in the back.
Output step 3 can be exported the new printing image that forms previously or make the multimedia printed article by printing.
Fig. 2 is the concept map of many information identifying methods of the present invention.Many information identifying methods, be from the multimedia printed article, to read out among Fig. 1 the method for imbedding the additional information that method (additional information being embedded in the printing image with the shading form) imbeds by many information, comprise image input step 4, identification step 5 and login step 6.
Image input step 4 reads multimedia printing image from imageing sensor.Additional information identification step 5, from the image input step, read in the multimedia printing image, the information of detecting is imbedded the position of code, composition rule according to the dot pattern group who comprises at least a information of forming by a plurality of sites with data message, reference information, error correction information, identify and have literal and appear in one's mind, forbid duplicating, follow the trail of, automatically send, the information of at least two functions in the hiding and automatic read functions of classified papers is imbedded the code value of code.Information registration step 6 records the additional information that identifies at least one memory media in internal memory, hard disk, CD-ROM, the webserver or carries out associative operation.
Encoded radio by identified half-tone screen code " is forbidden duplicating ", function such as " trackings " will obtain embodiment together with " literal appears in one's mind " function on the printed text of photocopier output step (printer) output.
So-called dot pattern group is meant in the distribution character of the interval characteristics of the gamma characteristic that possesses printing screen site, site and site that it is half-tone screen code that the geometric or physical information of the pattern recognition carried out of at least one characteristic is imbedded code.
So-called dot pattern group is meant that the dot matrix of data message, the dot matrix of reference information, the dot matrix of error correction information can be printed on the print media simultaneously, also can be printed on respectively on the print media or as the electronic image data to be kept in the memory.For example, according to the needs on using, can be with the dot matrix of the data message among the dot pattern group, the dot matrix of error correction information is printed on the printed medium, and the dot matrix of reference information is kept in the medium, when the code value of the dot matrix of recognition data and information, can identify the code value of the dot matrix of data message by the method for reading and saving dot matrix of reference information in medium.Additive method can be analogized.
So-called dot pattern group is meant that the color of shading can be identical with the printing image, also can be independent of the color of printing image.When for example document files was black and white, the dot pattern group also can be a black and white, just the dot pattern group was distributed to the gap of document files.
So-called dot pattern group is meant and can identifies the code value that information is imbedded code according to the known relation between the dot matrix of the dot matrix of the dot matrix that is printed on the data message on the print media simultaneously, reference information, error correction information; Also can be according to the dot matrix that is kept at the data message in the memory, the dot matrix of more than one in the dot matrix of reference information, the dot matrix of error correction information, and the known relation that is printed on more than another between the dot matrix on the print media identifies the code value that information is imbedded code.
So-called dot pattern group is meant dot matrix in a given basic recognition scope, and its number that can discern the arrangement of dot matrix is 5*4,5*5, and 5*6,6*6 ..., n*m.Here, dot matrix is meant in a given basic recognition scope, the scope that optical image sensor once can read, and for example scanner once can read the scope of A4 or A3 size, and talking pen once can only read the scope of diameter 2-4mm size.The dot matrix number that its number that can discern the arrangement of dot matrix is arranged for the dot matrix in above-mentioned scope.
The dot pattern group is appeared shading in one's mind with literal and is fused to together.
So-called information is imbedded code and is meant that duplicating prohibiting function realizes by digitized code.Traditional method realizes by analogy method, the present invention proposes to realize duplicating prohibiting function by the form of code, whether its progressive is to duplicate prohibition flag for bootlegging person being distinguished misknowing, and prevents to duplicate the purpose that prohibition flag is realized bootlegging by destroying.
So-called information is imbedded code and is meant that automatic read functions is by being embedded in the printing image of this document with the e-file of the file identical content that is printed.
The printing precision of the dot matrix of difference in functionality can be identical with accuracy of identification, also can be different.For example, literal appears in one's mind, follows the trail of, and sends automatically, and the hiding and automatic read functions of classified papers reads with the scanner of 300dpi or 600dpi, forbids that the copy function dot matrix reads with 100dpi.
In the present embodiment, constitute shading by repeated arrangement identical shaped little pattern shown in Figure 3.The shading that constitutes by repetitions patterns like this, even use the low precision printer of 100dpi, also can be under people's visual observation, make the shading of imbedding in the printing image not obvious, when being the identical shaped pattern of repeated arrangement, even point itself is more or less big, but can be clearly, utilize such visual characteristic to make shading here just from all it seems also not.So, the printed article that just can prevent to have imbedded additional information has looked inharmonic sensation.And shading shown in Figure 3 only is one of them example only, and in addition we can also adopt the shading that is made of polytype repetitions patterns.
Fig. 4 is that information " 1 " is appeared the dot pattern legend that in one's mind.In the example of Fig. 4, use the printing points of 5 * 5=25 to constitute the screen site that swing is 45 degree.Pattern shown in the Fig. 8 that occurs later is also identical therewith, but by with rectangular dot pattern rotation 45 degree, can suppress above-mentioned printing interference.For the dot pattern of information " 1 ", represent that by its site size the screen of screen site gray scale is called the amplitude modulation screen, i.e. the AM screen; On the other hand, represent that by its site number the method for screen site gray scale is called the frequency modulation screen, i.e. the FM screen.For the site of same grayscale, can come descriptor by different modulation systems.
Dot pattern that is made of the different modulating mode and the dot pattern that is made of a plurality of frequencies, both are equivalent in meaning, and actual dot pattern distribution shape is also identical.The dot pattern that is the AM screen can be said to the low frequency dot pattern, and the dot pattern of FM screen can be said to the high frequency dot pattern.
The dot pattern that the dot pattern that is made of the different modulating mode and the point by a plurality of different gray scales constitute, both are equivalent in meaning, and actual dot pattern spread geometry is also identical.That is, because being concentrated to arrange by a plurality of little sites, the dot pattern of AM screen forms, so the gray value of AM screen is bigger.Otherwise, owing to the dot pattern of FM screen is formed by a plurality of point dispersed arrangement, so the gray value of FM screen is less.Therefore, it is the bigger dot pattern of a kind of gray value that the dot pattern of AM screen can be said to, and the dot pattern of FM screen to can be said to be the dot pattern that is made of the less point of a plurality of gray scales.
Fig. 5 is that information " 0 " is appeared the dot pattern legend that in one's mind.As shown in Figure 5, constitute the screen site that swing is 45 degree by printing points dispersed arrangement with 42 * 3=6.
Fig. 6 is that information " 0 " is appeared other dot pattern legends of in one's mind.As shown in Figure 6, by 12 1 * 2 printing points and 4 site dispersed arrangement being constituted the screen site of class ring-type.
Fig. 7 is a sunk type dot pattern legend.In this legend, by 23 printing points are constituted the screen sites that swing is 45 degree with equal being spaced.
Fig. 8 is a dot pattern legend of half-tone screen code among the present invention.Constitute shading by arranging so repeatedly.In Fig. 8,11 for the site of expression information " 1 ", and 12 are the site of expression information " 0 ".13 for spending the information matrix that forms by 45 sites of 9 * 9 with rectangular arrangement rotation 45, and 14 is that position reference is capable, and 15 is parity check rows, and 16 is that the information recording status is capable, and 17 is the position reference check column, and 18 is parity column, and 16 is information recording status row.In addition, 24,25 and 26 to be respectively the position reference of information matrix 13 bottom-right information matrixs 23 among Fig. 8 (connecting expression according to 2) capable, and parity check rows and information recording status are capable.37,38 and 39 is respectively that the position reference of information matrix 33 (representing according to 2 lines) of information matrix 13 lower lefts among Fig. 8 is capable, and parity check rows and information recording status are capable.
In arrangement pattern shown in Figure 8, each site of information matrix 13 can be expressed as information " 1 " or information " 0 ", and use location reference row 14 or position reference row 17 can be discerned each position, site of this information matrix 13.Because can write down detailed positional information like this, thus the information record amount of information matrix be improved, and identification accuracy also be improved.
When this row of information matrix 13 when maybe the net number of the information " 1 " in these row is even number, the site value of this parity check rows 15 or parity column 18 is " 0 ".Otherwise when this row of information matrix 13 when maybe the net number of the information " 1 " in these row is odd number, the site value of this parity check rows 15 or parity column 18 is " 1 ".By parity check rows 15 or parity column 18 are set like this, verification goes out the mistake owing to the dirty or damaged information record that causes of printing sheets easily, thereby it is corrected.After obtaining correct information by parity check rows 15 or parity column 18, need not to use back said " error correction " just can obtain correct recognition result, improved treatment effeciency like this.
The shading of having imbedded additional information among the present invention is to exist with the printing image blend that originally will print.Therefore, thus might cause the result that the said printing doubling of the image of a part and front of the row or column of information matrix 13 can not recorded information.In this case, the information recording status capable 16 of the row or column correspondence of information matrix 13 or this site of information recording status row 19 can be made as " 0 ", situation in addition is made as " 1 ".So, even the part of information record pattern and the printing doubling of the image also can utilize residual fraction to come recorded information, thereby expand recordable amount of information.For the information of correcting a mistake, former error correction information can be configured in the information matrix 13, in view of the above, even with existing plural mistake also can correct these mistakes really in the delegation.But be to use this error correction information to correct a mistake, need very big amount of calculation, so there is the low shortcoming of treatment effeciency.
The dot pattern legend of (a) of Fig. 9 for forbidding duplicating, (b) dot pattern legend for duplicating.The present invention use can recorded information the dot pattern information of coming recording prohibition to duplicate.Shown in Fig. 9 (a), the information that can recording prohibition duplicate the middle by information site 42 being configured to two position reference sites 41.Shown in (b), by writing down the information that allows duplicating on the site on the middle that information site 42 is configured to two position reference sites 41.
Generally we think and forbid that if there is no the coding that duplicates just can carry out common duplicating, but for possessing the photocopier of forbidding copy function, can duplicate if know file in early days, can come more early the processing of duplicating by stopping the identify forbidden copy function.In the present embodiment, the use dot pattern that can carry out information record writes down the information of duplicating of allowing.
In example shown in Figure 9, the position of information site 42 that also can be by changing the middle prevents to distort.Promptly, if being configured to information site 42 on the site on the middle of two position reference sites 41, we forbid duplicating, the middle that information site 42 is configured to two position reference sites 41 allows to duplicate, at this moment, even want to forbid duplicating but because illegal person forbids that by pollution the method for the mark that duplicates may destroy the realization of forbidding copy function.But, as shown in Figure 9,, forbid that the mark that duplicates also can be identified as and forbid duplicating even pollute this moment if the middle that we are configured to two position reference sites 41 with information site 42 forbids duplicating.
As shown in Figure 9, by with the site according to diverse location, geometry aligning methods such as different directions arrangement can write down to forbid duplicating or allow and duplicate.By the phase modulated of information site, also can write down to forbid duplicating or allow and duplicate.
(a) of Figure 10 other dot pattern legends for forbidding duplicating are (b) for allowing to duplicate other dot pattern legends.Shown in Figure 10 (a), the information site is configured in the information that can recording prohibition duplicate the middle of the position reference site 41 of two 1 * 2=2.Shown in Figure 10 (b), by site on the middle that information site 42 is configured to two position reference sites 41 respectively or next site on write down the information of duplicating of allowing.
The dot pattern of forbidding the dot pattern that duplicates and allowing to duplicate shown in Figure 10 is the centralization and decentralization by the site, different site sizes, and different geometry arrangement modes such as site number write down that to forbid duplicating still be to allow to duplicate.And by different modulation systems, different frequencies, different physical configuration methods such as site gray value also can write down to forbid duplicating or allow and duplicate.
Figure 11 is a file legend of having imbedded a plurality of purpose information, and Figure 12 is the copy legend of file shown in Figure 11.As shown in figure 11, under this enforcement state, owing to adopt the method for arranging identical shaped little pattern repeatedly, so even under the resolution of 100dpi precision, observe, the point that constitutes shading can be not clearly yet, and then the printing image can not given inharmonic sensation yet.In the said in front shading, write down and had the information of appearing function in one's mind, so when duplicating the file that constitutes by this shading, can appear the printed words (expression as shown in figure 12) of " COPY " on the copy of this document in one's mind.
When imbedding bulk information, also little site that can all shapes are identical constitutes shading as the site (promptly utilizing all sites according to the precision of printing equipment) of come-up literal.
Foregoing half-tone screen code only is one of them example only, and the present invention can also adopt polytype half-tone screen code.For example, other constituted modes of half-tone screen code shown in Figure 13.This example item, the number of utilizing point more less, the site size is more little, the result who imbeds is to the more little printing screen characteristic of printing image influence, not only can use the distribution datum mark simultaneously in information sets, can also distributing by dual-purpose, to constitute that the site counts be many bits half-tone screen code of 19 systems to datum mark.
In Figure 13,1301 is information point, 1302 be can distributed intelligence point 13 the zone.Here can be by information point 13 be aligned to recorded information on the different geometric positions.For example, the some distribution of establishing a site of Figure 13 (is used the distribution mode of (a) expression.Be many bit values " 0 " down together), the point of site b is distributed as many bit values " 1 ", the point of site c is distributed as many bit values " 2 ", the point of site d is distributed as many bit values " 3 ", the point of site e is distributed as many bit values " 4 ", and the point of site f is distributed as many bit values " 5 ", and the point of site g is distributed as many bit values " 6 ", the point of site h is distributed as many bit values " 7 ", and the point of site i is distributed as many bit values " 8 ".As can be known by information point being distributed to different positions, can constitute net number and be 1 16 systems or many bits half-tone screen code of 32 systems with reference to Figure 13.
Half-tone screen code a, b among Figure 13, c, d, e, f, g, h, i can regard the physics dot pattern that the some transmitting signal by the modulation of the out of phase of information point 13 constitutes as.Also can regard simultaneously the dot pattern that constitutes by different physics centers of gravity as.
As shown in figure 14, can be set up in parallel carrying out the identification division of half-tone screen code processing and the duplicating treatment loop 52 before the photocopier in many information recognition devices among the present invention.As shown in figure 14, scanner loop 51 was connected with former duplicating treatment loop 52, and then this duplicating treatment loop 52 is linked to each other with printer loop 53.Half-tone screen code treatment loop 54 and duplicating treatment loop 52 are set up in parallel, and then scanner loop 51 and printer loop 53 are connected on this half-tone screen code treatment loop 54.By such configuration, not only can the processing before the photocopier not exerted an influence, also make photocopier possess the half-tone screen code processing capacity simultaneously.
