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 (27)

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 C component, a M component and a Y component in a CMYK 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 without changing a C component and a M component 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 both the first multiplexing processing and the second multiplexing processing are processing for multiplexing identical additional information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a printing apparatus.

4. 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 one or more components in a first color space with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data and to execute second multiplexing processing by changing one or more components in a second color space with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the first color space is a YUV color space and the second color space is a CMYK color space.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the first multiplexing processing is processing that does not change a Y component.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a printing apparatus.

8. 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 using a first multiplexing method with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data and to execute second multiplexing processing by using a second multiplexing method with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein both the first multiplexing processing and the second multiplexing processing are processing for multiplexing identical additional information.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a printing apparatus.

11. A method comprising:

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

executing first multiplexing processing by changing a C component, a M component and a Y component in a CMYK 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 without changing a C component and a M component with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein both the first multiplexing processing and the second multiplexing processing are processing for multiplexing identical additional information.

13. A method comprising:

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

executing first multiplexing processing by using a first multiplexing method with respect to an area determined as a printing area in the image data and to execute second multiplexing processing by using a second multiplexing method with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein both the first multiplexing processing and the second multiplexing processing are processing for multiplexing identical additional information.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for an information processing apparatus to perform a process comprising:

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

executing first multiplexing processing by changing a C component, a M component and a Y component in a CMYK 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 without changing a C component and a M component with respect to an area determined as a non-printing area in the image data.
