Unique watermark generation and detection during a conference
The unique watermark system comprising: identifying a presenter attendee, a first recipient attendee, and a second recipient attendee through a video conferencing session; detecting the presenter attendee sharing the visual content with the first recipient attendee and the second recipient attendee; selecting a first unique watermark and a second unique watermark from the plurality of unique watermarks and assigning them to a first recipient attendee and a second recipient attendee, respectively; inserting the first unique watermark into the visual content for the first recipient attendee and the second unique watermark into the visual content for the second recipient attendee; and transmitting the visual content with the first unique watermark to the first recipient attendee and the visual content with the second unique watermark to the second recipient attendee, wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices for hosting the video conferencing session.
1. A method comprising:
identifying a presenter attendee, a first recipient attendee, and a second recipient attendee during a video conferencing session prior to sharing private visual content;
assigning a first unique watermark and a second unique watermark to the first recipient attendee and the second recipient attendee, respectively;
inserting the first unique watermark into the private visual content for the first recipient attendee and the second unique watermark into the private visual content for the second recipient attendee; and
transmitting the private visual content with the first unique watermark to the first recipient attendee and the private visual content with the second unique watermark to the second recipient attendee, wherein the first unique watermark is configured to be displayed solely to the first recipient attendee with the private visual content during the video conferencing session and wherein the second unique watermark is configured to be displayed solely to the second recipient attendee with the private visual content during the video conferencing session,
wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices for hosting the video conferencing session.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the private visual content is an image.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the private visual content is a document.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the private visual content is a video clip.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting a location within the private visual content to place the first unique watermark.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the location allows the first unique watermark to be undetected by the first recipient attendee.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the location allows the first unique watermark to be visible by the first recipient attendee.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising randomizing a location to place the first unique watermark within a plurality of frames comprising a video clip.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein inserting the first unique watermark occurs at a client device associated with the first recipient attendee.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting the presenter attendee sharing the private visual content with the first recipient attendee and the second recipient attendee.
11. An article of manufacture for use in a digital processing system able to facilitate a video conferencing session, the article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code, the program code comprising:
identifying a presenter attendee, a first recipient attendee, and a second recipient attendee during a video conferencing session prior to sharing private visual content;
assigning a first unique watermark and a second unique watermark to the first recipient attendee and the second recipient attendee, respectively;
inserting the first unique watermark into the private visual content for the first recipient attendee and the second unique watermark into the private visual content for the second recipient attendee; and
transmitting the private visual content with the first unique watermark to the first recipient attendee and the private visual content with the second unique watermark to the second recipient attendee, wherein the first unique watermark is configured to be displayed solely to the first recipient attendee with the private visual content during the video conferencing session and wherein the second unique watermark is configured to be displayed solely to the second recipient attendee with the private visual content during the video conferencing session,
wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices for hosting the video conferencing session.
12. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , wherein the private visual content is an image.
13. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , wherein the private visual content is a document.
14. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , wherein the private visual content is a video clip.
15. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , further comprising selecting a location within the private visual content to place the first unique watermark.
16. The article of manufacture of claim 15 , wherein the location allows the first unique watermark to be undetected by the first recipient attendee.
17. The article of manufacture of claim 15 , wherein the location allows the first unique watermark to be visible by the first recipient attendee.
18. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , further comprising randomizing a location to place the first unique watermark within a plurality of frames comprising a video clip.
19. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , wherein inserting the first unique watermark occurs at a client device associated with the first recipient attendee.
20. The article of manufacture of claim 11 , further comprising detecting the presenter attendee sharing the private visual content with the first recipient attendee and the second recipient attendee.
