2 to 4 are diagrams illustrating a principle of converting Korean characters into identification images when the authoring information includes Korean characters according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 illustrates a principle of generating an identification image corresponding to Hangul initials. Specifically, (a) of FIG. 2 is a rectangular identification image generated at the lower left of the margin position at 'a', Figure 2 (b) is a shape of the margin at the upper right of the margin position at 'b' 2 is a rectangular identification image as shown in FIG. 2 (c) is to generate a rectangular identification image, such as the shape of the margin at the right middle of the margin position in the 'c'. On the other hand, Figure 2 (d) is to create a rectangular identification image, such as the shape of the margin at the margin position in 'd', Figure 2 (e) is the shape of the margin at the center of the margin position in 'ㅁ' Will generate a rectangular identification image. In addition, (f) of FIG. 2 generates rectangular identification images such as the shape of the margin at the middle and the upper middle of the margin position at 'ㅂ', respectively, and FIG. 2 (g) shows the margin position at 'ㅅ'. In the lower middle cut, a triangular identification image like the shape of a margin is generated, and FIG. 2 (h) generates a circular identification image like the shape of a margin in the center, which is the margin position at 'O'.

For reference, in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an identification image having the same shape as that of the margin is generated at the position of the margin only when the shape of the margin on each Hangul image is a rectangle, a triangle, or a circle. It is only an illustration and does not exclude the creation of identification images of shapes different from those of the margins.

According to the above-described rule, if the remaining identification images in FIG. 2 are analyzed, FIG. 2 (i) is an identification image corresponding to '' ', and FIG. 2 (j) is an identification image corresponding to' Z ', 2 (k) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㅋ', FIG. 2 (l) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㅌ', and FIG. 2 (m) is an identification image corresponding to 't' 2 (n) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㅎ', FIG. 2 (o) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㄲ', and FIG. 2 (p) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㄸ' 2 (q) is an identification image corresponding to '대응', FIG. 2 (r) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㅆ', and FIG. 2 (s) is an identification corresponding to 'ㅉ' It can be seen that the image.

On the other hand, Figure 3 illustrates the principle of generating an identification image corresponding to the letters combined with the initial and neutral of the Hangul. In generating the identification image corresponding to the letter combined with the initial and the neutral as shown in FIG. 3, first, the rectangular image frame in FIG. 2 is divided into the initial and neutral regions as shown in FIG. An identification image corresponding to the initial and the neutral may be generated independently of each frame.

The principle of generating the identification image corresponding to the initial image in the initial image frame is the same as that described in FIG. 2. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the neutral image is also generated in the generation of the identification image corresponding to the neutral in the neutral image frame. A rectangular identification image having the same shape as that of the margin can be generated at the position of the margin on the image.

According to the identification image generation principle described above, if the letters of each identification image in FIG. 3 are analyzed, (a) of FIG. 3 is an identification image corresponding to 'a', and (b) of FIG. 3 (c) is an identification image corresponding to 'er', FIG. 3 (d) is an identification image corresponding to 'f', and (e) of FIG. 3 is an identification image corresponding to 'y', FIG. 3 (g) is an identification image corresponding to 'right', and FIG. 3 (h) is' an identification image corresponding to 'y' 3 'is an identification image corresponding to' Y ', FIG. 3 (j) is an identification image corresponding to' Y ', and FIG. 3 (k) is An identification image corresponding to 'Ae', and FIG. 3 (l) is an identification image corresponding to 'Ae'.

Meanwhile, in the case of 'ㅔ' and 'ㅖ' among the neutrals, the neutral image frame is divided into two vertically as shown in (m) and (n) of FIG. 'ㅔ' is written as 'ㅓ + ㅣ' and 'ㅖ' is preferably written as 'ㅕ + ㅣ'. Accordingly, FIG. 3 (m) is an identification image corresponding to 'e', and FIG. 3 (l) is an identification image corresponding to 'yes'.

Meanwhile, in the case of a double vowel among the vowels, it may be desirable to separately generate the identification image of each vowel in a state in which the neutral image frame is divided into the lower end and the right end of the entire rectangular image frame as shown in FIG. 6. Accordingly, FIG. 3 (o) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'wa', FIG. 3 (p) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'why', and FIG. 3 (q) corresponds to 'other'. 3 (r) is an identification image corresponding to "war", (s) of FIG. 3 is an identification image corresponding to "we", and (t) of FIG. It becomes an identification image corresponding to 'above', and FIG. 3 (u) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'of'.

On the other hand, in generating an identification image corresponding to a letter combined with the initial, neutral, and final, first, the rectangular image frame in FIG. 2 is divided into a primary area, a neutral area, and a final area as shown in FIG. In addition, the identification image corresponding to the initial, neutral, and final images is generated independently of the neutral image frame and the final image frame.

FIG. 4 illustrates a principle of generating an identification image corresponding to Hangeul finality in a final image frame. On the other hand, since all of the Hangul choseong in Figure 2 can be used as a Hangul Jongjong, only the principle of generating the identification image corresponding to the consonants used only as Hangul Jongjong will be described in FIG.

Of the double consonants of Hangeul, the so-called double support, which is not used as a consonant but only as a final consonant, is similar to the other consonants of Hangeul. An identification image corresponding to each consonant may be generated in the image frame.

Accordingly, FIG. 4A is an identification image corresponding to 'ㄱㅅ', FIG. 4B is an identification image corresponding to 'ㄴㅈ', and FIG. 4C is a 'B' And (d) in FIG. 4 becomes an identification image corresponding to 'ㄹ', and FIG. 4 (e) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'ㄹㅁ', and FIG. 4 is an identification image corresponding to 'ㄹㅅ', FIG. 4 (h) is an identification image corresponding to 'ㄹㅌ', and FIG. (i) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'ㄹ', FIG. 4 (j) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'ㄹㅎ', and FIG. 4 (k) becomes an identification image corresponding to 'ㅂㅅ' .

Meanwhile, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the generated identification image may be generated by the editing unit 122 included in the controller 120, and FIG. 5 illustrates that the generated identification image is modified in this manner. Illustrated as an example.

Referring to FIG. 5, a rectangular symbol in the form of a symbol representing a vowel as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B may be replaced by a short vertical segment, and consonants may be formed as in FIG. 5C. It is created by replacing the left and right square symbols, which are the symbol type of 'ㄹ' with horizontal segments, or by connecting the horizontal segments with diagonal segments, expressing them in the form of 'Z', or 'z' which is a reduced 'Z'. It can be expressed in the form of.

In addition, as shown in (d), (e), and (f) of FIG. 5, the rectangular identification image at the left and right ends of the symbols representing 'ㅈ,', ' Can be generated by replacing

In addition, as shown in (g), (h), and (i) of FIG. 5, the rectangular identification image of any of the symbols representing 'ㅋ', 'ㅌ', and 'ㅂ' may be replaced with a horizontal line segment. Can be.

In addition, after the identification image corresponding to the Hangul is generated, the frame in the generated identification image may also be freely edited by the editing unit 122. Specifically, the user adjusts the size or shape of the rectangular image frame in the identification image through the input unit 110 as necessary, or each size or relative of the initial image frame, the neutral image frame, and the final image frame constituting the rectangular image frame. The user may adjust a ratio, adjust the size of each symbol constituting the identification image, or change a thickness and line segment display method (dotted line, solid line, etc.) of each image frame, and the editing unit 122 may be input. The size or position of the identification image or the size or ratio of the frame may be edited according to the corresponding command, which may be stored in the storage 150.

For example, the user may adjust the thickness of the edge of each rectangular image frame and change the line segment display partly to a dotted line, for the identification images meaning 'single' and 'blue', respectively, as shown in FIG. 7. I can edit it.

8 is a diagram illustrating a principle of converting Arabic numerals into identification images when the authoring information includes Arabic numerals according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, a circular identification image, such as a shape of a margin, is generated in a middle of a margin position at '0', and '1' is generated so that there is no identification image since the number has no margin, and '2' to '9'. When is input, an identification image of a rectangle, a circle, or a triangle like a shape of a margin may be generated at a margin position of each number.

Meanwhile, when the authoring information includes two or more letters, the editing unit 122 may edit some or all of the letters to overlap each other, and FIG. 9 illustrates one identification image corresponding to two Hangul characters. It is a figure which shows the overlapping display on a frame.

Referring to FIG. 9, (a) of FIG. 9 is a crossover of 'one' (hereinafter referred to as a first identification image) of FIG. 9 (b) and 'written' (hereinafter referred to as a second symbol image) of FIG. 9 (c). The wrapped is shown.

In this case, in order to distinguish the overlapped first identification image and the second identification image, the editing unit 122 identifies at least one of the color, contrast, size, position, shape, pattern, or transparency of the first identification image as the second identification image. You can edit to differentiate it from the image. In this case, the user may input an editing command to distinguish at least one of the color, contrast, size, position, shape, pattern, or transparency of the first identification image from the second identification image through the input unit 110.

Alternatively, the first identification image and the second identification image may be displayed so as not to be discriminated. As such, when the first identification image and the second identification image are displayed so as not to be discriminated, the third person may not easily grasp the information included in the watermark. However, even in this case, the characters can be read by combining all the information displayed at random.

On the other hand, the reading order for the two overlapping identification images may be displayed on the edited image. To this end, an identifier equal to at least one of the color, contrast, size, position, shape, pattern or transparency of the first identification image is displayed in the front part of the upper part as shown in FIG. 9A (dark words), An identifier that is equal to at least one of the color, contrast, size, position, shape, pattern, or transparency of the second identification image may be displayed at the back of the top as shown in FIG. The third party reads 'han' in FIG. 9 (b) first, and then reads 'word' in unknown (c) in FIG. 9 later, thereby reading (a) in FIG. You can do it.

Alternatively, the reading order of the first identification image and the second identification image may not be displayed. As such, when the reading order of the first identification image and the second identification image is not displayed, a third person may not easily grasp information included in the watermark.

Meanwhile, the editing unit 122 may edit the identification image such that the identification image of the Hangul or Arabic numeral converted by the conversion unit 121 is inverted, which is illustrated in FIGS. 10 to 12.

10 to 12, the user may more easily grasp Korean or Arabic numerals through the reversed image.

13A, 13B, and 14 illustrate a principle of converting an English alphabet into an identification image when the authoring information includes English uppercase letters or lowercase letters (hereinafter, English alphabet) according to the first embodiment of the present invention. to be.

13A, 13B, and 14, an identification image of the English alphabet may also be generated in the same manner as Korean or Arabic numerals. That is, at least one identification image may be disposed and expressed in a portion of the space in a predetermined partitioned space (for example, a rectangular image frame). In this case, the English alphabet may be put in such a rectangular image frame, and the shape identified from the empty space may be simplified into a point, a line, a surface, and the like, and the point may include various shapes such as a triangle and a square circle.

Meanwhile, the editing unit 122 may freely edit the generated identification image after generating the identification image corresponding to the English alphabet. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the editing unit 122 may variously identify the identification image corresponding to the English letter S. It can be modified.

In addition, the editing unit 122 may edit the identification image for the English alphabet to be reversed as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17.

In addition, the editing unit 122 is a diagram illustrating an example of editing an identification image for an English letter as illustrated in FIG. 18. Referring to FIG. 18, it can be seen that the identification image of the English letter “KOREA” is inverted, and these are edited again in the form of a bell, a horseshoe, a tile house, and the like.

In addition, the editing unit 122 may edit the identification image for the English letter as shown in FIG. 19. Referring to FIG. 19, an identification image representing “TOM” on the left side may be edited and displayed as an object having a similar outline shape to the identification image in the middle, and on the right side, the object is converted into a character that may be associated with the object. Can be displayed. That is, the identification image of the square on the left side may be converted into a pizza box in the middle and displayed. The pizza box may be converted into a character of “PIZZA BOX” on the right side and displayed. According to such an edit, even if the identification image is expressed in letters, the letters can be recognized by logical inference, and this method is applicable to not only English but also languages of letters of various languages. In the case of including the English alphabet or more, the editing unit 122 may edit some or all of the letters to overlap each other like Korean, and FIG. 20 illustrates three alphabetical characters' O ',' N ',' E ′) overlaps each other and is shown.

At this time, the editing so that each overlapped alphabet can be distinguished from each other and the reading order of the overlapping identification image are edited so that they can be displayed on the edited image are the same as in Hangul. Alternatively, the overlapping alphabets may be edited so as not to be distinguished from each other, and similarly, the reading order of each overlapped alphabets may be edited so as not to be distinguished from each other.

As described above, the Hangul, Arabic numerals, and English alphabets included in the authoring information may be converted into an identification image by the converter 121 and the editor 122, and edited.

The converted and edited identification image may be generated as a watermark by the generation unit 123, and the generated watermark may be displayed by the output unit 140 along with the asset. Let's take a look.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the generation unit 123 may generate various watermarks based on the identification image, the output unit 140 may display the watermark in various ways, and the editing unit 122 ) Can edit the generated watermark.

Here, the watermark means information related to copyright information embedded in digital content such as a photo, music, or video. In this case, the copyright information may include, for example, personal information about the copyright holder, a time of authoring the copyrighted work, a place of authoring the copyrighted work, or an intention of authoring the copyrighted work, but is not limited thereto and may include other types of information.

In describing a method of generating a watermark and displaying the watermark with the asset, a frame in which the asset is displayed is referred to as a first frame and a frame in which the watermark is displayed is referred to as a second frame.

21A and 21B are diagrams illustrating that a second frame in which a watermark is displayed is displayed in a first frame on a first frame in which an asset is displayed.

21A and 21B, the generation unit 123 may generate a watermark 200 in a form similar to a stamp in a second frame. That is, when the generation unit 123 receives the conversion conversion identification image of the author of 'JOHN' from the conversion unit 121, the generation unit 123 may be different from the one shown in FIG. 21A based on the received identification image. A watermark of the same stamp type may be generated in the second frame.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21B, the output unit 140 displays a second frame displaying the watermark 200 while displaying the asset 210 in the first frame, similar to a stamp in the first frame on the first frame. It can be displayed in the form. However, this is merely exemplary and the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is not excluded that the second frame displaying the watermark is displayed in a form similar to a stamp outside the first frame displaying the copyrighted work.

Alternatively, the generation unit 123 may generate a watermark such that the first frame displaying the asset and the second frame displaying the watermark are the same frame. For example, referring to FIG. 22, it is understood that both the first frame 300 on which the asset is displayed and the second frame 300 on which the identification images 301 to 303 included in the watermark are displayed are the same frame 300. Can be. Here, it can be seen that the identification images 301 to 303 overlap each other, and each identification image is represented by a different type of identification image for discrimination.

Alternatively, the generation unit 123 may generate a watermark such that the identification image is displayed using the first frame in which the asset is displayed and at least one frame adjacent to the first frame. For example, referring to FIG. 23, a dragon figure 415, which is a work, is displayed in a frame 412 corresponding to the neutrality of Hangul, and the watermark for the dragon figure 415 is a frame corresponding to the neutrality of the Hangul. The symbol image corresponding to 'ㅛ' at 412, 'ㅇ' at frame 411 corresponding to the initial consonant of Hangul, and 'ㅇ' at frame 413 corresponding to Jongsung is generated to display Korean 'yong'. It can be seen that.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 21B, the second frame is displayed in the first frame on the first frame, but the editing unit 122 is configured such that some of the identification images included in the watermark are replaced by some of the components of the asset. You can edit the mark. For example, FIG. 24 exemplarily illustrates that a portion 512 of an identification image included in the watermark 511 is replaced by a month 512 that is a component of a work. Referring to FIG. 24, 'T', 'O', and 'M' are displayed as watermarks for the photographs of the moon and the roof of the palace, and the moon in the photograph is used instead of generating an identification image for the 'O'. '0' is indicated by.

Unlike this, as shown in FIG. 22, the watermark is generated such that the first frame and the second frame are the same frame, but the editing unit 122 replaces some of the identification images included in the watermark by some of the elements of the asset. You can edit the watermark as much as possible. For example, FIG. 25 illustrates a first frame 611 in which an asset 610 is displayed and an identification image 612 to 614 in which the watermark is displayed in displaying a watermark overlapped with 'TOM'. The two frames 611 are the same frame 611, and some of the identification images included in the watermark 614 have been replaced by some of the components of the asset 610 to indicate 'O'. Illustrated illustratively.

On the other hand, although not shown, as shown in FIG. 23, the watermark is generated so that the identification image is displayed using the first frame in which the asset is displayed and at least one frame adjacent to the first frame, and the editing unit 122 generates the watermark. The watermark may be edited such that some of the identification images that are included are replaced by some of the components of the work.

On the contrary, when the asset includes at least one mark such as a character or a figure, the generation unit 123 replaces a portion of the mark with another mark and size, thickness, font, gradient, color, spacing, position, shape, and transparency. By expressing differently in any one of them, a watermark displaying an identification image can be generated. For example, referring to FIG. 26, when a work 700 such as a program or a document includes a plurality of characters (marks), a character 711 of which the thickness of the characters is different from the rest of the characters (the first character) Identification image may be displayed. In FIG. 26, it can be seen that an identification image representing the English letter 'E' is displayed.

Alternatively, the generation unit 123 may generate the watermark so that it is not visually recognized. For example, the generation unit 123 may generate the color of the identification image constituting the watermark to be the same as the color of the background on which the identification image is displayed. In this case, the watermark may not be visually recognized by a third party including the user, but if the background color of the watermark is different from that of the watermark, the watermark may be visually recognized.

Meanwhile, the editing unit 122 may edit some of the identification images included in the watermark as illustrated in FIG. 27. Referring to (a) and (c) of FIG. 27, the identification image may be placed on the asset, and at this time, the border of the identification image may be edited so that the color of the border of the identification image is different from that of the identification image. And can be easily distinguished. Alternatively, referring to (b) and (d) of FIG. 27, a spatial partition line for dividing the space in which the identification image and the asset is displayed may be edited to be cut out from the asset, thereby making such a black and white photograph with high contrast. Editing will improve the visual aesthetics of the work.

In the above, a method of generating a watermark has been described. Hereinafter, various methods of displaying the watermark generated as described above along with the asset will be described.

In displaying the watermark together with the copyrighted work, the order of displaying the at least one identification image constituting the watermark may be controlled.

For example, the editing unit 122 may control the entire identification image to be displayed at the same time and then disappear.

Alternatively, the editing unit 122 may control the identification images to be displayed in a predetermined order or a random order and then disappear. For example, when at least one character is overlapped, it may be displayed and disappeared in a predetermined order for each identification image representing each character. At this time, the order of the characters may be input or changed by the user through the input unit 110.

Alternatively, when at least one character is overlapped, an identification image representing each character may be displayed and disappeared in the order of reading each character, or may be randomly displayed and disappeared regardless of the reading order of each character. have. If randomly displayed and disappeared regardless of the reading order of each character, this may prevent the third party from easily grasping the information included in the watermark.

In addition, the editing unit 122 may control a particular identification image to be distinguished from other identification images in brightness, thickness, color, tilt, color, shape, size, position, and transparency while displaying each identification image. For example, the editing unit 122 may control only 612 and 615 of the identification images 612 to 616 in FIG. 23 to display colors, shapes, sizes, positions, transparency, and thickness differently from other identification images. This will allow the user to visually highlight the work.

24 is a diagram illustrating a method of applying a watermark to a work according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 24, in the method of applying a watermark to a work according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises: receiving work information about a work through the input unit 110 included in the watermark application apparatus 100. It may include (S100). In this case, the inputted copyright information may include at least one of personal information about the copyright holder of the copyrighted work, a time of authoring the copyrighted work, a place of authoring the copyrighted work, or an intention of authoring the copyrighted work. It can contain characters in a variety of other languages.

Subsequently, the conversion unit 121 included in the watermark application apparatus 100 may convert the text included in the input work information into an identification image (S110). Here, the identification image may be generated at a margin position on the character image corresponding to the character included in the authoring information, and the shape of the identification image may be determined according to the shape of the margin, for example. In this case, the identification image corresponding to the text image may be stored in the storage 130.

Thereafter, the step S120 of adjusting the size or position of the generated identification image may be performed by the editing unit 122 included in the watermark application apparatus 100. For example, the size, shape and transparency of the rectangular image frame in the identification image may be adjusted, or the respective sizes or relative proportions of the initial image frame, neutral image frame, and final image frame constituting the rectangular image frame may be adjusted. The size or shape of each symbol constituting the identification image or the thickness and line segment display method of the edge of each image frame may be adjusted. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 28, when the frame is removed or the frame is removed, reference coordinates may be generated for reference to reading the position of the identification image. Specifically, that is, FIG. 24 defines coordinates in which the symbol is to be located, and Hangul consonants and vowels may be defined only by the positions of the coordinates. For example, 'a' may be defined as a symbol located at a lower left corner. In addition, 'ㅏ' may be defined as the symbol is located at the upper right and lower corners. In this way, the entire consonants and vowels of Hangeul can be defined only by the location of the coordinates, and can also be defined for English letters and numbers.

Thereafter, the generating unit 123 included in the watermark application apparatus 100 may generate a watermark based on the identification image (S130). Here, the generation unit 123 may generate, for example, a watermark in the form of a stamp based on the first frame in which the asset is displayed, and may generate a watermark so that the watermark is displayed in the same frame as the first frame. Alternatively, the watermark may be generated to display the watermark on the first frame and another frame.

Thereafter, the step S140 of editing the generated watermark may be performed by the editing unit 122 included in the watermark application apparatus 100. For example, the display order of the identification image constituting the watermark may be controlled, and the color or size of the identification image may be changed. However, step S140 of editing the watermark is not necessarily performed.

Thereafter, the step S150 of outputting the watermark may be performed by the output unit 140 included in the watermark application apparatus 100.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by converting the copyright information associated with the copyrighted work using the identification image, and generates a watermark based on this, by applying such a watermark to the copyrighted work, Protect copyrights on works more effectively.

Meanwhile, some steps of the present invention may be embodied as computer readable codes on a computer readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include all kinds of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable recording media may include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, CD-RW, magnetic tape, floppy disk, HDD, optical disk, magneto-optical storage, and the like. , Transmission over the Internet). The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.
