Abstract

A system (300, 500) for scrambling digital samples (115, 200, 250, 260, 270) of multimedia data, including audio and video data samples, such that the content of the samples is degraded but still recognizable, or otherwise provided at a desired quality level. The samples may be in any conceivable compressed or uncompressed digital format, including Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) samples, samples in floating point representation, samples in companding schemes (e.g., mu -law and A-law), and other compressed bit streams. The quality level may be associated with a particular signal to noise ratio, or quality level that is determined by objective and/or subjective tests, for example. A number of LSBs can be scrambled in successive samples in successive frames (FRAME A, FRAME B, FRAME C). Moreover, the parameters for scrambling may change from frame to frame. Furthermore, all or part of the scrambling key (310) can be embedded (340) in the scrambled data and recovered at a decoder (400, 600) to be used in descrambling. After descrambling, the scramble key is no longer recoverable because the scramble key itself is scrambled by the descrambler.

Embodiment
The present invention relates to be used for the numeral sample of multi-medium data is carried out a kind of method and apparatus of scrambling.
This theme of being discussed in following each patent and the patent application can be utilized by the present invention, these patents and patent application all are incorporated herein by reference: title is: the U.S. Patent No. 5 of " Method andApparatus for Transporting Auxiliary Data in Audio Signals (being used for transmitting in sound signal the method and apparatus of auxiliary data) ", 822,360; The title of submitting on December 6th, 1996 is the U.S. Patent application No.08/764 of " Method and Apparatus for EmbeddingAuxiliary Data in a Primary Data Signal (being used for auxiliary data is embedded into the method and apparatus of an original data signal) ", 096; Title is the US Patent No of " Post Compression Hidden Data Transport (transmission of back compression hiding data) ", 5,687,191; The title of submitting on August 18th, 1997 is the U.S. Patent application No.08/912 of " PostCompression Hidden Data Transport for Video (transmission of compression hiding data behind the video) ", 434; Title is the U.S. Patent No. 5,719,937 of " Multi_Media CopyManagement Syatem (multimedia copy management system) "; The title of submitting on November 25th, 1997 is the U.S. Patent application No.08/977 of " Multi_Media Copy ManagementSystem (multimedia copy management system) ", 719; And the title submitted is the patent application No.09/708 of " Digital Hidden Data Transport (transmission of digital hiding data) ", 810 on November 8th, 2000.Being used to provide other similar systems of embedding information also to can be the present invention utilizes.
The purpose of audio frequency, video or other digital contents being carried out scrambling is to reduce its quality, but still can allow audience, spectators or other User Recognition go out this content.
To the selectivity scrambling of content waveform comprise keep some high order bits (up to and comprise sign bit) and scrambling remainder low-order bit (LSBs) in some or all bits.With respect to initial data (for example audio frequency, video or other data), interference noise is maintained on the level of a hope.
The M of each a data sample high order bit (MSB) is dynamically kept.Number M can be selected as parameter preset before handling beginning, also can change in processing procedure.
As shown in Figure 1, the dynamic reservation of MSBs relates to carries out the amplitude range detection to each sample, and keeps (or coverage) its M MSBs in the amplitude range of sample.The M value can be from the 0 whole dynamic ranges that change to numeral sample.
M is the bit number that keeps in the dynamic range of each sample, and can change (for example frame by frame change) in processing procedure.And as below discussing, M can be a part that is embedded in the information in the content material of using for decoder.
The sample of digital content can have any possible compression or non-compressed word format, comprising pulse-code modulation (PCM) sample, floating point representation sample, compression expansion scheme (as μ-rule and A-rule) sample, and following various other compression bit stream.
Existing most of audio frequencies, video or image compression system trends towards utilizing frequency domain technique to reduce and is compressed the perception redundant information in the signal.Therefore, most of compression bit streams can be analyzed and be decoded into one group of parameter, and this group parameter has comprised a class frequency sample or a conversion coefficient.Its example has: TDAC conversion coefficient in inferior frequency band sample, AC-3 or the AAC audio coding in the MPEG audio coding and the DCT coefficient in JPEG and mpeg image and the video coding.These expressions can be referred to as " frequency samples ".
In a general compression scheme, the unpressed sample of signal of a group is by the representative of a group frequency samples, and in order to store and transmit these frequency samples effectively, they are quantized according to perceptual criteria.Normally fixing for the ratio of required frequency samples number of the sample of signal that can represent some and above-mentioned sample of signal number, for example be 1.But in fact, owing to usually do not send some to the unessential frequency samples of perception.So the frequency samples number that is selected to send may lack.This can determine by the bit distribution information that extraction is contained in the compression bit stream.
The frequency samples that is not sent out is assigned with the zero bit usually, perhaps represents (for example indicating the length of a series of null values) with zero bit value.In essence, can utilize a dynamic range that has indicated the bit number that is distributed, frequency samples or frequency samples is returned to the additional information of the required scale factor of its total length value, from compression bit stream, extract the binary representation of frequency samples.
In case extracted the binary representation of frequency samples, the processing that the processing of part scrambling will be carried out with the uncompressed domain sample of signal under for example PCM is represented does not have any difference.
Fig. 1 explanation according to the present invention to some adaptive bit changes of the data sample in succession in the data in succession.
Sample carries out optionally scrambling to digital data, and some high order bits (MSBs) are kept, and remaining some or all data bits (as LSBs) are then by scrambling.In addition, the key that uses during descrambling data can be hidden in the scrambled signals (for example adopting each patent quoted from previously and the technology described in the patent application), makes that this key no longer can be decoded after content-data is by descrambling.
In Fig. 1, trunnion axis representative frame and digital data samples in succession.Three frames (frame A, frame B and frame C) have been shown in this example, and each frame contains 15 samples, and each sample has 24 bits, and certainly, the present invention can be adapted to any variation of these parameters.The dynamic range of each sample is between zero bit and 24 bits, and this dynamic range is defined by the non-zero bit of highest order, but does not comprise the sign bit that may appear at each sample high order end.
The dynamic range of original waveform 110 representatives each sample before carrying out scrambling according to the present invention.The bit that is not modified in each sample is represented in zone 120 and 125, and the bit that can carry out scrambling in each sample according to the present invention is then represented in zone 130.
For example, first sample 115 of frame A has the dynamic range of 18 bits, and one of this sample may example be:
0 230 220 210 200 190 181 170 160 151 141 130 120 110 101 91 80 70 60 51 41 30 20 10 0
Subscript is wherein represented the bit position, from the bit 0[0 of lowest order 0] to most significant bit 17 (1 17).
As crossed over shown in the zone 125 of frame A, B, C, the number of not changing (for example keeping) high order bit of each frame can change frame by frame.For example, there be M=2 high order bit not change, have M=3 high order bit not change, have M=2 high order bit not change for frame C for frame B for frame A.Therefore the bit number of not changing of each frame is can be adaptive.Specifically, the number of not changing bit can be inversely proportional to the maximum dynamic range of a frame.For example, for frame A, maximum dynamic range is 22 bits, M=2; And for frame B, maximum dynamic range only is 15 bits, and M=3.
Also might be in order simply the M of each frame to be set at constant.
In general, can come to select this bit number by experiment, make the data that produce have the level that degrades of hope.
Bit in the zone 130 will will be discussed below in more detail by scrambling.
From perception, the sample of selectivity scrambling can present noise.For example, show sound reproduction frequently during sample, sound and to have noise when the machine of putting of drilling in user family.Though along with the dynamic range of each sample and adjacent sample, drill the different of audio frequency type, site environment and other factors of putting, also can be different to the sensation of noise, in general, the MSB that sample keeps SFewer, sound that noise is the more.
Usually, noise can overslaugh not drilled the function such as for example prompting and F.F. etc. of the machine of putting.Drill when putting when falling back fast (or) in F.F., drill the machine of putting and have insufficient time to descrambled samples.Normally drilling when putting, drill the machine of putting and have sufficient time to descrambled samples, make and can hear or see content with whole dynamic ranges.
According to the present invention, not that whole dynamic ranges of content are carried out scrambling, but kept a part of dynamic range, make the quality of content descend but still can be identified, for example drill when putting and can be identified in F.F..This makes the user can allow audio frequency or video content F.F. easily, to find interested paragraph exactly.
In addition, the content material of selectivity scrambling will limit the amplitude of scrambling waveform to such an extent that be no more than the dynamic range of original waveform.Such scrambling waveform will be with the scrambling waveform be different at random, shows that it can not damage video or audiofrequency apparatus yet when putting even drill place system at any video or audio frequency.
The scrambling of data bit can be carried out (scrambling in the sample) in each sample inside, also can carry out (scrambling between sample) in a group sample.And, also can adopt the combination of scrambling between interior scrambling of sample and sample.
The form of scrambling can be the position (scrambling between sample) of intercoursing data bit, utilizes from a sequence of scrambling key or the derivation of part scrambling key and removes to cover data bit (scrambling in the sample), or their combination.Its objective is the statistical property randomization or the albefaction that make the scrambled data bit, allow them " seem " more at random.Descrambler must be able to make this bit mapping recover former state.
At random or pseudorandom scrambling improved the fail safe of scrambled data because this scrambling will make the more difficult key bit string figure that detects of effractor from scrambled data.
Fig. 2 (a) illustrates according to scrambling in the sample of the present invention.Original sample 200 contains 8 bit S1 7S1 6S1 5S1 4S1 3S1 2S1 1S1 0, wherein " S1 " representative " sample 1 ".For simply, shown sample only contains 8 bits, though each sample can have the bit of arbitrary number.In addition, suppose M=3, this means that three high order bits (are S1 7S1 6S1 5) do not change, but remaining bit (is S1 4S1 3S1 2S1 1S1 0) will change.Suppose S1 7It is the highest order of this sample.After having passed through the interior scrambling of sample, the sample 250 after can obtaining changing, the bit that it contains is S1 7S1 6S1 5S1 0S1 2S1 4S1 3S1 1The bit that can adopt any known signal scrambling technique to obtain changing.
Fig. 2 (b) illustrates the sample of three former beginning and end scramblings.The element of similar code name is in correspondence with each other in each accompanying drawing.Show sample 1 (200), sample 2 (260) and sample 3 (270).Fig. 2 (c) illustrates Fig. 2 (b) sample process according to the sample after the scrambling between sample of the present invention.(260 '), sample 3 (270 ') correspond respectively to sample 1 (200), sample 2 (260), sample 3 (270) for sample 1 (200 '), sample 2.
For scrambling between sample, each waveform sample is grouped into some frames.Each frame all with a scrambling key, for example pseudo-random key is associated.The scrambling key of each frame can be different, determined when decoding.Scrambling useful especially situation is horizontal scrambling between sample, wherein exchanges each and have the bit of same bits weight between each sample.
For example, use bit S1 0Permutated bit S3 0, use bit S1 1Permutated bit S3 1, use bit S1 2Permutated bit S2 2Or the like.
Be noted that and also might adopt non-horizontal scrambling, wherein the bit weightings of scrambling bit no longer remains unchanged.
Fig. 3 illustrates according to a data scrambler of the present invention and scrambling key coding device.In a kind of possible embodiment, the scrambling key is embedded in the audio contents of scrambling.
Adopt a significant advantage of part scrambling sample to be, all or part of of key that is used for descrambled samples can be hidden within the scrambling sample self.Since no matter before descrambling still after, the scrambling key has all obtained protection, so the part scrambling is important.
Scrambler/encoder 300 contains a scrambling key generator 310, is used to produce the scrambling key.
The length of scrambling key is not necessarily identical with sample length, and long scrambling key can make data safer.

The MSB-mask in AND gate 540 with from the buffer memory sample bit-by-bit ground phase of sample frame buffer 510 " with ", the high order bit that generation will keep.
From the scrambling sample of scrambler 330 in an AND gate 545 same MSB-MASK/ (MSB-MASK " non-") and LSB-MASK/ (MSB-MASK " non-") phase " with ".MSB-MASK/ and LSB-MASK/ are produced by inverter 550 and 555 respectively.AND gate 545 output that contains the intermediate bit of some scramblings is provided for an OR-gate 560 by bit, with the high order bit that keeps with a frame in the low-order bit that exchanged of other samples combine.
The output of OR-gate 560 is exactly the scrambling sample, and it can be provided for scrambling key coding device 340, and the latter will provide the scrambling sample that has embedded the scrambling key.At this moment, these samples just can send or store on the medium by network, perhaps supply other application.
By a scrambling key coding device (for example 340 among Fig. 3) is set, can be embedded in the scrambling key in the scrambling sample.The embedding that is noted that the scrambling key can be chosen wantonly.
As shown in Figure 5, (result of this scrambling for example can make the paragraph of music still can be identified completely to a kind of method of the audio data of scrambling selectively, but concerning Music Appreciation, lost commercial value) be to keep the sign bit of each sample and for example two most significant bits.All to survey its amplitude range to each sample.Produce a mask for each sample corresponding to the amplitude range of this specific sample.Following expression illustrates to mend sample and the corresponding mask that 2 gestalts change into 16 bits with two examples:
Sample value is (16 system) for example Sample value is (binary system) for example To sign bit and 2 MSB SMask (16 system) (MSB-MASK) To sign bit and 2 MSB SMask (2 system) (MSB-MASK)
0×0b1f 0000101100011111 0×fc00 1111110000000000
0×ff98 111111110011000 0×ffe0 1111111111100000
Each sample all has 16 bits, wherein leftmost bit is-symbol bit (sign bit).For example, for 1111111110011000 sample value under 0 * ff98 or the binary system under 16 systems, bit 15 (" 1 ") shows that this is a negative ,-97 in well negative 0 * 61 or 10 systems.Like this, dynamic range is 7 bits (bit 0 is to bits 6).
In an embodiment of scrambler 500, remaining bit is divided into two groups: the bit of lowest order and all the other all bits.By switch in a frame, significant bits is by scrambling flatly.Also can adopt the interframe scrambling.In addition Yu Xia bit by with the nonequivalence operation of individual Bit String by scrambling, this Bit String is according to all or part of generation of scrambling key.Can utilize a linear shift register to come to change this Bit String for each sample.
Scrambling output is made up of following three parts: the 1) high order bit of Bao Liuing, 2) the interposition bit of the interior scrambling of sample, and 3) low-order bit of scrambling between horizontal samples.
Fig. 6 at length illustrates according to data de-scrambling device 600 of the present invention.This descrambler can be used for handling the data that for example receive from scrambler 500.
Unit 610,510 ", 515 ', 530 ', 535 ', 540 ', 545 ', 550 ' 555 ' and the 560 ' unit 510,510 ', 515,530,53 5,540,545,550,555 and 560 that correspond respectively among Fig. 5.
As shown in Figure 6, scrambling key decoder 410 decodes the scrambling key and it is offered buffer 420 from the scrambling sample, and then offers descrambler 430.If be necessary, can use a linear address generator 515 ', to provide the address, for each sample that receives recovers the Bit String figure to sample frame buffer 610.
The scrambling sample that receives is offered range detection/mask generator 535 ' from sample frame buffer 610.The same with the scrambler situation, utilize amplitude range to survey and identify the high order bit that is retained in each sample.Combined with the high order bit that keeps and the low-order bit of rearrangement in OR-gate 560 ' by the interposition bit of descrambling in each sample.
The contrary MSB mask (MSB-MASK/) of inverter 550 ' output is provided for an AND gate 545 ', with the descrambled samples phase " with ".The output of AND gate 545 ' is provided for OR-gate 560 ', with the low-order bit of reservation high order bit in this frame and rearrangement mutually " or ".
Rearrangement low-order bit in frame is by LSB-MASK is provided according to the address that is produced by a descrambling address generator 625 with the phase of the buffer memory sample of rearrangement " or " obtain, the latter then is by sample frame buffer 510 ".
At the output of AND gate 530 ', the low-order bit position in frame is restored, thereby OR-gate 560 ' will provide descrambling output to the combination of three compositions.
Fig. 7 illustrates the adaptive bit change of the data sample in succession in some successive data frame being carried out with fixing minimum dynamic range according to the present invention.
The reservation dynamic range of high order bit can be fixed as for example 16 bits.The high order bit number N that keeps can be before handling as a parameter preset be fixed (N value can from 0 whole dynamic range) to numeral sample.N=8 in an example shown.
Original waveform 110 has shown the scrambling dynamic range of each sample before.The bit that is not modified in each sample is represented in zone 720, and zone 730 is then represented can be by the bit of scrambling in each sample.For example, for frame A, bit 15 in each sample (corresponding to dynamic range 16) and more high-order bit are not modified, and 14 then are modified from bit 0 to bit.For frame B and frame C, all be modified up to all bits of dynamic range of each sample.
An advantage of this scheme is not need to determine the dynamic range of each sample in encoder.
Implement when of the present invention, following listed various other variation and enhancings can be arranged.
1) referring to Fig. 7, the high order bit number (N) that wherein for example will keep can dynamically change frame by frame.
2), can stride frame of video ground and carry out scrambling for Video Applications.
3) amplitude range detector and mask generator (as the functor among the functor among Fig. 5 535 and Fig. 6 650) can be look-up tables with heuristic rule.
4) length of scrambled frame can change.
5) horizontal scrambling can be carried out the low-order bit of any number.
6) scrambling key all or part of can be hidden in the same frame of content, in the former frame or in any other frame.Obtainable buffer memory space and throughput delay requirement are depended in its enforcement.
7) noiseless, quiet or any other special paragraph can not done scrambling.In other words, scrambling can be continuous, also can be discontinuous.
8) can be hidden in the another kind of data flow (as the audio-frequency unit of same DVD dish) of same content for all or part of scrambling key of a kind of data flow in the content (as the video section of DVD dish).
9) all or part of scrambling key can be hidden in any part of same medium (dish) with any form or mode.For example, for CD or the such physical medium of DVD, key can the electronics mode be hidden in the partition data, perhaps utilizes such as the such technology of hole spot width modulation and hides with physics mode.
10) all or part of scrambling key for a kind of data flow in the content can be hidden in any medium that separate, and for example is hidden in the card that needs pay in advance.Key also can be a kind of product that carries out Trading Authorization by phone, internet or any other means of communication.
11) scrambling can carried out (for example carrying out between preceding left passage in logical acoustics more than and the right passage) between the two or several passages of same data flow.
12) a plurality of passages of the data flow of same content (for example the preceding left passage in the multichannel acoustics and back right passage) can shared same scrambling key, also available different key.
13) scrambling (for example to a preceding left side and preceding right passage scrambling, but misaligning centre, a back left side, the right side, back and inferior bass channel scrambling) of channel selecting can be arranged to a multi-channel data stream.
14) the both available nonlinear shift register of scrambling key, also available nonlinear feedback shift register produces.
15) for the content of compressed format with the supplementary (as bit distribution information) of packed data stream encryption, can simplify range detection and handle.But for some frequency samples, the bit that may not be assigned to enough numbers is distinguished sign bit, high order bit and interposition bit clearly.If there is not the interposition bit, then the part scrambling can be to skip this frequency samples simply.Also can adopt with the illustrated every other operation of uncompressed domain part scrambling.
After the part scrambling, must repack the frequency samples of change, with consistent with original bitstream format.In most of the cases, do not need re-quantization, only need repack.Employed compress technique is depended in this processing.Some compression scheme as the Huffman coding, may need elongated degree coding, so if the size of compression bit stream must remain unchanged, will take special means.Most of compression schemes will produce elongated degree bit stream naturally, and common follow-up transmission bitstream format will adapt to the variation of bit stream size.
Adopt an attendant advantages of part signal scrambling technique of the present invention to be to compression bit stream, the motor synchronizing in the decoder will be easy slightly.This is because of the frame structure in the compression bit stream format or comprises that structure can make decoder more easily determine the border of scrambled frame.
Like this, can see, the invention provides a kind of numeral sample (comprising audio frequency and samples of video data) that is used for multi-medium data and carry out scrambling, make the content of sample degrade but still can discern, perhaps reach the system of the quality level of hope.Quality level for example can be associated with a certain specific signal to noise ratio, perhaps determines by objective and/or subjective testing.Some low-order bit can be by scrambling in the successive sample in some successive frames.And some parameters about scrambling can frame by frame change.Have, the scrambling key can be embedded in the scrambled data, and recovers in decoder again, is used for the descrambling sample of scrambling.After the descrambling, because the scrambling key is by the descrambler scrambling, so no longer can be resumed.
Though the present invention combines various specific embodiment explanations, those skilled in the art that can find out, under the situation that does not depart from the present invention's spirit given in claims and category, can make many strains and modification.
