Circumvention of dynamic, robust, embedded-signal detection
View Patent ↗Described herein is a technology facilitating circumvention of dynamic and robust detection of one or more embedded-signals (e.g., watermark, copyright notice, encoded data, etc.) in one or more input carrier signals (e.g., multimedia stream, video stream, audio stream, data, radio, etc.). This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
1. A computer storage device having processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform acts comprising:
determining a location in a processor-readable memory where a watermark detector that is a dynamic embedded-watermark signal detection program module receives an input stream to determine if the input stream has an embedded-watermark signal; and
intervening with embedded-watermark signal detection by the watermark detector by continuously varying an audio sample rate or a video frame rate of the input stream so that the watermark detector receives the input stream at a variable rate.
2. A computer storage device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the intervening further comprises introducing a countersignal into the input stream.
3. A computer storage device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the intervening further comprises introducing noise into the input stream.
4. A computer storage device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising maintaining the intervening of the watermark detection by the watermark detector while the input stream is being consumed.
5. A computer storage device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the input stream includes at least one of image, audio, video, multimedia, software, metadata, and data.
6. A computing device comprising:
an input device for receiving one or more input streams; and
a computer storage device having processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform acts comprising:
determining a location in a processor-readable memory where a watermark detector that is a dynamic embedded-watermark signal detection program module receives an input stream to determine if the input stream has an embedded-watermark signal; and

8. A method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the intervening further comprises introducing a countersignal into the input stream.
9. A method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the intervening further comprises introducing noise into the input stream.
10. A method as recited in claim 7 , further comprising maintaining the intervening of the watermark detection by the watermark detector while the input stream is being consumed.
11. A method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the input stream includes at least one of image, audio, video, multimedia, software, metadata, and data.
12. A computing device comprising one or more processor-readable media having processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the computer, perform the method as recited in claim 7 .
13. A system facilitating circumvention of dynamic, robust, embedded-signal detection, the system comprising:
an input device that receives one or more input streams;
a memory location determiner that determines a memory location where a watermark detector that is a dynamic embedded-signal detection program module receives an input stream to determine if the input stream has an embedded-watermark signal; and
an intervention component that intervenes with embedded-watermark signal detection by the watermark detector during a playback of the input stream by continuously varying an audio sample rate or a video frame rate of the input stream so that the watermark detector receives the input stream at a variable rate and providing a countersignal stream that lacks the embedded-watermark signal to the memory location.
14. A system as recited in claim 13 , wherein the memory location determiner further detects and observes the watermark detector in a processor-readable memory of a computer to determine the memory location.
15. A system as recited in claim 13 , wherein the intervention components further configured to introduces noise into the input stream.
16. A system as recited in claim 13 , wherein the input stream includes at least one of image, audio, video, multimedia, software, metadata, and data.
17. A computer storage device having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform a method for facilitating circumvention of watermark detection, the method comprising:
determining a memory location in a processor-readable memory where a watermark detector that is a dynamic watermark detection program module receives an input stream to determine if the input stream has a watermark therein;
observing the watermark detector in the processor-readable memory of a computer to determine the memory location; and
varying an audio sample rate input stream continuously to hinder watermark detection by the watermark detector.
18. A method for facilitating circumvention of embedded-signal detection, the method comprising:
observing dynamic detector that is a dynamic embedded-watermark signal detection program module in a processor-readable memory of a computer that dynamically detects watermarks in an input stream;
based upon the observing, determining a location in the processor-readable memory, where the dynamic detector receives the input stream for the dynamic detector to perform embedded-watermark signal detection thereon to determine if the input stream has an embedded-watermark signal; and
varying a video frame rate of the input stream continuously to hinder embedded-watermark signal detection by the dynamic detector.
