Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine a printing area and a non-printing area in image data, and an execution unit configured to execute first multiplexing processing by changing a U component in a YUV color space with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data and to execute second multiplexing processing by changing a Y component in a CMYK color space with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

Claims (15)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a determination unit configured to determine a printing area and a non-printing area in image data; and

an execution unit configured to execute first multiplexing processing by changing a U component in a YUV color space with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data and to execute second multiplexing processing by changing a Y component in a CMYK color space with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second multiplexing processing is multiplexing processing for changing a Y component in a YUV color space to a larger extent than the first multiplexing processing.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein both the first multiplexing processing and the second multiplexing processing are processing for multiplexing identical additional information.

4. A control method for an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:

determine a printing area and a non-printing area in image data;

executing first multiplexing processing by changing a U component in a YUV color space with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data; and

executing second multiplexing processing by changing a Y component in a CMYK color space with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

5. The control method for the information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the second multiplexing processing is multiplexing processing for changing a Y component in a YUV color space to a larger extent than the first multiplexing processing.

6. The control method for the information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein both the first multiplexing processing and the second multiplexing processing are processing for multiplexing identical additional information.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a control method for an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:

determine a printing area and a non-printing area in image data;

executing first multiplexing processing by changing a U component in a YUV color space with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data; and

executing second multiplexing processing by changing a Y component in a CMYK color space with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.
