Definitions
- the field of perhaps the most important application of the present invention resides in improved techniques for embedding in digital telephone signals and the like, and in particular cellular phone systems, data supplemental to the voice signal (for example, targeted advertising images, music or other entertainment content, market- localized ad's, interactive e-commerce applications, games, weather and other services).
- Such embedding is preferably effected at a point where the audio voice signal is being converted from an uncompressed representation to a highly compressed digital representation as part of the coding and compression process before it is transmitted, such as at a user's phone handset as for extraction at a central point, or at a central digitizing point as for extraction at the handset.
- the invention enables such extraction of the embedded data from the digital voice signal at any point in the process without affecting the digital signal in any way.
- the supplemental data is intended to be received by a user's phone, for example, it can be extracted into an appropriate format and displayed, executed, stored, or otherwise handled by and/or at the phone, and where the supplemental data is intended to be received at another point in the system, it may be extracted into an appropriate format and acted upon in a manner depending on the semantics of the desired system.
- the technique of the invention is also useful to embed such supplemental data at any intermediate point of the system, and including even embedding where the digital signal has already been compressed, though, in such event, with somewhat less transparency, efficiency and bit rate.
- the invention preferably uses the fundamental techniques disclosed in my earlier joint copending U.S. application Serial Number 09/389,941 , filed Sept. 3, 1999, (PCT application No. PCT/IB00,00227), and entitled "Process, System, And Apparatus For Embedding Data In Compressed Audio, Image, Video And Other Media Files And The Like". Background
- Watermarking data has also been embedded so as to be robust to degradation and manipulation of the media.
- Typical watermarking techniques rely on gross characteristics of the signal being preserved through common types of transformations applied to a media file. These techniques are again limited to fairly low bit rates. Good bit rates on audio watermarking techniques are, indeed, only around a couple of dozen bits of data encoded per second.
- ID3v2 spec: http://www.id3.org/easv.html and http:/Avww.id3.org/id3v2.3.0.h-ml
- the technique of my first-named earlier application Serial No. 09/389,941 is more broadly concerned with data embedding in compressed formats, and, indeed, with encoding a frequency representation of the data, typically through a Fourier Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform, or other well-known function. That invention embeds high-rate data in compressed digital representations of the media, including through modifying the low-bits of the coefficients of the frequency representation of the compressed data, thereby enabling additional benefits of fast encoding and decoding, because the coefficients of the compressed media can be directly transformed without a lengthy additional decompression/compression process.
- the technique also can be used in combination with watermarking, but with the watermark applied before the data encoding process.
- Such least-significant bit encoding broadly has, however, been earlier proposed; but not as implemented in the present invention.
- the Langelaar, Langendijk, and Biemond publication teaches a technique which encodes data in MPEG video streams by modifying the least significant bit of a variable-length code (VLC) representing DCT coefficients.
- VLC variable-length code
- Langelaar et al's encoding keeps the length of the file constant by allowing the replacement of only those VLC values which can be replaced by another value of the same length and which have a magnitude difference of one.
- the encoding simply traverses the file and modifies all suitable VLC values.
- Drawbacks of their techniques are that suitable VLC values are relatively rare (167 per second in a 1 .4 Mbit/sec video file, thus allowing only 167 bits to be encoded in 1.4 million bits of information).
- the improved techniques of my earlier invention indeed, unlike the prior art, allow for the encoding of digital information into an audio, image, or video file at rates several orders of magnitude higher than those previously described in the literature (order of 300 bits per second ).
- the present invention indeed, has easily embedded a 3000 bit/second data stream in a 128,000 bit/second audio file.
- supplemental data such as, for example, advertising images, market-localized ads, interactive computer programs such as e-commerce applications, games, forms, supplemental text or audio content, music or other entertainment content, etc.
- a further object is to provide such a novel process in which the embedding involves a single process added at a point where the audio voice signal is converted from an uncompressed representation to a highly compressed digital representation to add the supplemental data to the voice signal as part of the coding and compression process, before it is transmitted.
- Still another object is to provide such a novel embedding technique, particularly in a wireless cellular phone system, at the mobile switching center (MSC) or other central point for extraction at the user handset, or at the handset for extraction at the central point.
- MSC mobile switching center
- An additional object is to provide also for the embedding of supplemental data into a digital signal which has already been compressed.
- Another object is to provide through the ability to embed supplemental data into the phone signal either at the user's handset for reception at a central station, at the central station for reception at the user's handset, or less efficiently at any intermediate point, the creation of a novel two-way network connection, while the handset is used over a voice-only network.
- the invention embraces a method of embedding supplemental digital data in a voice digital phone signal without affecting the backwards compatibility of the digital phone signal, that comprises, transforming the digital voice phone signal into encoded sets of frequency-domain or other transform coefficient representations of said signal; selecting predetermined coefficient portions that are each to contain a bit of the supplemental data; and embedding said bits at the selected portions while compressing the signal to transmit a compressed digital voice signal containing the supplemental data embedded therein, thereby enabling user decoding to extract the supplemental data while receiving the transmitted voice signal.
- the invention embraces a method of embedding supplemental data in a digital phone signal that is to be transmitted and received in a • system by user voice phone handsets inter-connected in the system through a central station, and without affecting the backwards compatibility of the digital phone signals, that comprises, converting the voice signal, either at the central station or at the user handset, to an intermediate representation thereof by applying an encoding transformation to the voice signal to create resulting floating-point coefficients, but without yet performing quantization and truncation steps that are necessary to convert this coefficient representation ultimately into a compressed discrete digital signal; selecting predetermined portions of the transformed voice signal that are each to contain a bit of the supplemental data; performing quantization and truncation by coefficient domain parity encoding technique that modifies the coefficients so that the resulting quantized and truncated compressed version of the digital signal contains the embedded supplemental data; and transmitting such compressed supplemented signal in the manner of a normal digital phone signal either from the central station to the user handset or from the user handset to the
- Figure 1 of which is a block and flow diagram illustrating an overview of the preferred data encoding process and system of my earlier copending application Serial No. 09/389,941 adapted for use in the cellular phone network system of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a similar diagram presenting an overview of the preferred decoding of the compressed voice signal embedded with the supplemental data of Figure 1, as received by a phone handset user and/or a central station;
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the use of the previously (and later) discussed steganographic techniques in the encoding process;
- Figure 4 illustrates an exemplary signal waveform and Fourier transformation- based compressed coefficient-based representation of the voice signal for use in the coefficient-domain parity encoding process useful with the invention
- Figure 5 is a somewhat more detail block and flow diagram specifically directed to the cellular network application of the present invention, illustrating the single process step of the embedding of data supplemental to the digital voice signal at a point where the signal is converted from an uncompressed representation to a highly compressed digital representation prior to transmission from the user to the all system and from the cell system to the handset user;
- Figures 6 and 7 are similar to Figure 5 but are directed to the embedding of data at a central digitizing point and a user's cell phone, respectively;
- Figure 8 is a similar diagram applied to the embedding of data in an already compressed signal
- Figure 9 is directed to the extraction of the embedded data from the compressed signal
- Figures 10, 1 1 and 12 respectively illustrate data embedding using time-domain waveform encoding, frequency-domain waveform coding and Vocoder coding
- Figure 13 shows an exemplary supplemental screen advertisement displayed at the handset.
- the present invention is concerned with data embedding in digital phone signals, as a cellular phone network systems and the like, and without affecting the backwards compatibility of the digital phone signal.
- the technique can embed supplemental data into the phone signal, at the user's end for reception at a central station, at the central station for reception at the user's handset, or (with less efficiency) at any intermediate point. This also allows for the creation of a two-way network connection while the handset is used over a voice-only network.
- Supplemental text or audio content weather as, for example in Fig. 13; news, pager messages, translations, service updates).
- Wireless application protocol for sending Internet content, two-way.
- the data embedding process consist of a single process added at a point where the audio voice signal is converted from an uncompressed representation to a highly compressed digital representation. This process adds data to the voice signal as part of the coding and compression process, before it is transmitted.
- PSTN public switched telephone network
- MSC Mobile Switching Center
- Data can also be added at any point to a previously compressed signal using the same techniques, but typically at a lower bit rate.
- the supplemental data may be embedded at a central digitizing point.
- Figure 6 illustrates such a process of embedding data at a central digitizing point for extraction at the user handset.
- the required method steps are described in sufficiently generic terms to apply to all types of known coders used to compress speech data in cell phones.
- the embedding process begins with two components: an audio voice signal and a supplemental data file to be embedded in the audio signal.
- the first step is to convert the voice signal to an intermediate representation, which depends on the actual coder used This typically consists of applying the encoding transformation to the voice signal at T resulting in a set of floating-point coefficients but, without yet performing the ultimate quantization and taincation steps necessary to convert this coefficient representation into a compressed discrete digital signal.
- Such a Sine, Wavelet or related discrete transform is illustrated in the signal waveform and coefficient-based tabular illustration of Figure 4.
- the second step is to choose which portions of the transformed voice signal are each to contain a bit of the supplemental data file. Typically, this is done by selecting at S, a set of coefficients, preferably at regular intervals in the data.
- the previously mentioned coefficient domain parity encoding technique of Figure 4 may be used to modify the coefficients so that the quantized and truncated version of the digital signal at Q, Figure 6, contains the embedded data.
- the digital data signal may now be transmitted at Tx as a normal digital phone signal.
- the thusly compressed voice signal is diagrammatically shown in Figure 1 as combined in an encoding process (so -labeled) of any well-known type, later more fully discussed, with the supplemental data content ("Data”) for embedding therein
- a compressed voice signal with supplemental embedded data without affecting its backwards compatibility with existing file formats, and without substantially affecting the handset phone user's receiving or playback experience.
- the transformation step of Figure 1 may be made part of the encoding process, and may even include an optional compression step; or these may be applied as additional separate steps.
- perceptual encoding techniques to choose into which coefficients to embed the data
- the decoding and playback are diagrammed in Figure 2, wherein the decoding process, so-labeled and later more fully discussed, is dependent upon the type of encoding process used in Figure 1 to embed the supplemental data.
- the supplemental data may be verified (" Verification Process") by well-known checksum or digital signature to insure that the data is bit-wise identical to the data which was originally encoded and embedded in Figure 1.
- the receiving handset or station and the execution environment may communicate with one another, illustrated schematically in Figure 2 by the SYNC line between the voice handset or station receiver and the data manipulation environment boxes, so that the execution of the supplemental data can be synchronized with the reception content.
- the possible use of data encoding using steganographic techniques was earlier mentioned with reference citations, and such an application to the techniques of the present invention is illustrated in Figure 3.
- the supplemental data to be embedded is there shown transformed into a bit stream code, with the bytes of the data extracted into a bit-by-bit representation so that they can be inserted as small changes into the voice signal.
- the selection of the appropriate locations in the voice signal content into which to embed the data bits is based on the identification of minor changes that can be made to the actual media content with minimal effects to the user's voice signal receiving experience. Such changes, however, must be such that they can easily be detected by an automated decoding process, and the information recovered
- any one of a number of steganographic encoding processes may be used.
- the data bits are preferably embedded by the technique of modifying the least-significant bit of some selected coefficients, as hereinafter also more fully discussed
- the resulting voice signal with embedded executable code is again backwards compatible, with, in some cases, slightly diminished, but entirely acceptable, possible user receiving experience due to the embedding process.
- more than 3000 bits of data per second has been readily embedded in an audio file encoded at a bit-rate of 128,000 bits/sec.
- the invention need change only a single bit in a selected coefficient, as distinguished from prior art large - scale ordering changes in the relationships of the coefficients (for example, as in the previously cited Zhao and Koch references).
- This set can be selected by simply choosing a consecutive series of coefficients in the voice signal.
- a preferred technique is to choose a set of coefficients which encoded a wide range of frequencies in the voice signal as discussed in connection with the coefficient-domain parity encoding representation of earlier discussed Figure 4.
- the selected coefficient and the next data bit to i be encoded are combined, re-scaling the coefficients to encode the bit ("Rescale" in Figure 6). If possible, this is preferably done in conjunction with the quantizing and re- scaling step so that the choice of the coefficient to be modified can be based on the closeness of the original coefficient to the desired value. After such quantizing and re- scaling, furthermore, there is not as much data on which to base this decision.
- the re-scaling can be done in-place in an already-encoded audio file, with the added constraint of keeping the file size constant.
- This encoding may be accomplished through an LSB encoding process, or preferably through the LSB parity encoding of Figure 4. Such parity encoding allows more choice regarding the coefficients to be modified.
- the parity of the coefficient can be computed by adding them together:
- this technique may be applied to a wider range of values, while using higher-order parity.
- the same amount of data can be encoded over 32 coefficients as can be encoded over 28-coefficient regions, by adding up the low bits of those 32 coefficients and then computing the result modulo four (the remainder when dividing by four). This provides more flexibility in choosing which coefficients to modify, though it does not allow as much data to be inserted into the stream.
- UCS Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set
- phase frequency-domain low-bit coding wherein the least-significant bits of the phase coefficients ( Figure 4) of the transform frequency representation of the voice signal are used to encode the program.
- the implementation is the same except for the use of the phase coefficients to encode data as opposed to the magnitude coefficients -- and, in the case of audio content, because the human ear is much less sensitive to the phase of sounds than to their Ioudness, less audible distortion may be encountered in reception and playback.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the process of embedding data at a user's handset for extraction at a central point. This is identical to the process of embedding data at a central digitizing point as detailed in connection with Figure 6, except that the embedding process is performed on the handset, and transmits data from handset to the central station.
- Figure 8 illustrates how data can be embedded into a digital signal which has already been compressed. Because the encoding process can no longer take advantage of information about the original voice signal, it cannot, however, embed data into the signal with the same transparency and efficiency before-described. It is possible, however, and may often be useful to add data to the signal at this lower bit rate. This consists of examining the digital voice signal and inserting data at regulai intervals by modifying the discrete coefficients which represent the voice signal.
- the embedding data can be extracted from the digital voice signal at any point in the process without affecting the digital signal in any way.
- Figure 9 is more detailed and specific to the extraction of the supplemental data embedded in the transmitted compressed voice signal of the invention.
- the data is intended to be received by a user's phone, it can be extracted into an appropriate format and displayed, executed, stored, or otherwise handled by the phone, data shown in Figure 9.
- the data is intended to be received and another point in the system, it is extracted into an appropriate format and acted on in the matter depending on the semantics of the systems.
- Time-Domain Waveform Coding to enable the supplemental data embedding in the compressed voice signal are presented in Figure 10; with more detailed steps in the alternate use of Frequency-Domain Waveform Coding being presented in Figure 1 1 and of Vocoder coding in Figure 12.
- the voice signal is shown subjected to digitization of voice samples (so-labeled), calculation of adjacent sample differences, and selection of a subset of such sample differences. This is combined with the next selected occurring coding from the transform supplemental data bit stream for embedding of such bit using adaptive quantizing. In this example, there results ADPCM compressed voice with the embedded data.
- Time-Domain waveform coders try to reproduce the time waveform of the speech signal, are source is dependent, and can thus encode a variety of signals.
- Examples of these type of coders include pulse code modulation (PCM), differential pulse code modulation (DPCM), the adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) above mentioned, delta modulation (DM), continuously variable slope delta modulation (CVSDM), and adaptive predictive coding (APC). All time-domain coders consist of a quantized representation of the waveform.
- the ADPCM coder of Figure 10 is widely used in such systems as the PACS (Personal Access Communication Systems) third-generation PCS system, the Personal Handyphone System, and in the CT2 and DECT cordless telephone systems, at a bit rate of 32kbps.
- a representative system of this type is shown in Figure 10. At this bit rate, it samples the audio stream at 8 kHz, and uses 4 bits to represent the adaptive stepsize differences between each successive audio sample. By embedding data in the lowest bit of these audio samples at a rate of 1 bit per 6 samples, we can embed data at a rate of 1300 bits/sec, which is 10k bytes/minute.
- a Frequency-Domain waveform coder divides the signal into a set of frequency components, which are quantized and encoded separately.
- the Frequency-Domain coding of Figure 11 is illustrated for a sub-band coded compressed voice with embedded data operation, wherein the digitized voice samples are filtered into sub-bands, and subsets of the sub-band data (at bit rates depending on the particular sub-band) are selected for appropriately embedding the next bit to be encoded in the transformed supplemental data bit stream.
- the CD-900 cellular telephone system uses a type of frequency- domain waveform coder known as sub-band coding.
- sub-band coding uses a type of frequency- domain waveform coder known as sub-band coding.
- Vocoders are based on extensive knowledge about the signal to be coded, typically voice, and are signal-specific.
- the Vector Sum Excited Linear Predictive (VSELP) coder outputs fifty speech frames per second. These speech frames consist of a set of coefficient parameters to the RPE-LTP (regular pulse excited longer-term prediction) function. These coefficients are then quantized and encoded into 260 bits.
- I- ETS 300 036 "European digital cellular telecommunications system (phase 1): Full-rate speech transcoding”
- subjective tests have been performed to determine which of these 260 bits are the most perceptually important.
- the 69 least perceptually important bits are all contained in the "Class II" portion of the bits, which is the last 78 bits of the frame.
- the embedding process illustrated in Figure 12 involves embedding data in these 69 bits, at an embedding rate of 1 data bit per 4 coefficients. We can embed 17 additional data bits per frame. This is a rate of 850 bits/sec, in a media stream transmitted at 13kbps. This is equivalent to a 6.2k picture transmitted every minute.
- Digital phone signals are subject to interference and fading. Any of a number of common techniques used to reinforce the digital phone signal and to provide for robustness, error detection, and error correction may be used. Such techniques include parity bits, block codes such as Hamming Codes and Reed-Solomon Codes, and convolutional codes. Additionally, retransmission of the data and interleaving of time- delayed versions of the data can improve robustness. Another technique is used to create a protocol for guaranteed delivery (e.g. based on TCP/IP), or WAP or the like, using the two-way data embedding techniques described previously to establish a bidirectional data connection. Such techniques typically reduce the amount of data that can be embedded in a stream, but are essential where digital data and executable programs must be transmitted without error.
