Abstract

Methods and systems for video transmission and processing with customized watermarking delivery are disclosed and may include watermarking data at a communication device utilizing received global positioning (GPS) data and communicating the watermarked video data to a receiving communication device. The receiving communication device may verify the watermarked data, and may determine whether to render the received watermarked data based on the verification. The communication device may include an edge device, and may receive a feedback signal communicated from the receiving communication device. The watermarking of subsequently processed data may be adjusted based on the received feedback signal, which may include GPS data and/or device parameters corresponding to the receiving communication device. The watermarked video data communicated to the receiving communication device may be adjusted based on one or more device parameters corresponding to the receiving communication device and/or GPS information.

Claims (40)

1. A method for digital media processing, the method comprising:

receiving global positioning (GPS) data at a communication device;

using the GPS data to generate, at said communication device, a watermark;

embedding the watermark in watermarked data;

communicating said watermarked data from said communication device to a receiving communication device;

receiving at said communication device, a feedback signal communicated from said receiving communication device; and

adjusting watermarking of subsequently processed data based on said received feedback signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving communication device verifies said watermarked data.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said receiving communication device determines whether to render said received watermarked data based on said verification.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said watermarked data comprises multimedia information comprising voice, video and/or text information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said communication device comprises an edge device.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving communication device comprises a wired and/or a wireless communication device.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said feedback signal comprises GPS data and device parameters corresponding to said receiving communication device.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein said device parameters comprise one or more of: a power state, a device resolution, a screen size and a display setting of said receiving communication device.

9. The method according to claim 1 , comprising adjusting said watermarked video data communicated to said receiving communication device based on GPS information corresponding to said receiving communication device.

10. A system for digital media processing, the system comprising:

one or more circuits in a communication device configured to:

generate a watermark utilizing received global positioning (GPS) data;

embed the watermark in media data to generate watermarked data; and

said one or more circuits communicates said watermarked data from said communication device to a receiving communication device, wherein:

said one or more circuits enables receiving by said communication device, a feedback signal communication from said receiving communication device; and

said feedback signal comprises GPS data corresponding to said receiving communication device.

11. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said receiving communication device verifies said watermarked data.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein said receiving communication device determines whether to render said received watermarked data based on said verification.

13. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said watermarked data comprises multimedia information comprising voice, video and/or text information.

14. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said communication device comprises an edge device.

15. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said receiving communication device comprises a wired and/or a wireless communication device.

16. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said one or more circuits enables adjustment of watermarking of subsequently processed data based on said received feedback signal.

17. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said feedback signal comprises device parameters corresponding to said receiving communication device.

18. The system according to claim 17 , wherein said device parameters comprise one or more of: a power state, a device resolution, a screen size and a display setting of said receiving communication device.

19. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said one or more circuits enables adjustment of said watermarked video data communicated to said receiving communication device based on GPS information corresponding to said receiving communication device.

20. The system according to claim 10 , wherein said one or more circuits enables transcoding of data corresponding to said watermarking from a first format to a second format.

21. A method for digital media processing, the method comprising:

generating, at a communication device, watermarked data that includes a watermark generated utilizing global positioning (GPS) data corresponding to the communication device;

transcoding via said communication device, said watermarked multimedia data from a first format to a second format to generate transcoded watermarked multimedia data; and

communicating said transcoded watermarked multimedia data from said communication device to a receiving communication device.

22. The method according to claim 21 , further comprising:

receiving by said communication device, a feedback signal communication from said receiving communication device; and

adjusting watermarking of subsequently processed data based on said received feedback signal.

23. The method according to claim 22 , wherein said feedback signal comprises GPS data corresponding to said receiving communication device.
