Abstract

The invention relates to a scanner having functions of digital copyright protection and scan source tracing, comprising: a digital watermark creating module for creating a digital watermark; a discrete cosine transform module for processing scan data to prepare for subsequent watermark embedding; a digital watermark embedding module for embedding the digital watermark into a scan data; and a discrete cosine inverse transform module for hiding the digital watermark. The scan method comprises the following steps of: creating a digital watermark based on the scan associated information as a resource mark; calling the scan data of the discrete cosine transform process, adding the digital watermark into a discrete cosine transform frequency domain space; embedding the digital watermark after the chaotic process into a scan data; and calling a discrete cosine inverse transform to hide the digital watermark.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a scanner, in particular to a scanner with functions of digital copyright protection and scanning source tracking and a scanning method thereof. Background technique

[0002] With the continuous update and development of information technology, all kinds of traditional publications, whether it is photographic works, print advertisements or book manuscripts, use the medium of the Internet to expand the scope of product dissemination and speed up the dissemination.

[0003] In the past, when information was stored and transmitted in the form of physical media, copyrighted physical media was cheaper, time-saving, and high-quality than self-copying, which made copyright issues not very prominent in the past. However, with the popularization of computer and network applications, piracy has become a serious problem. Today, when the Internet is so common, whether it is a large media company or an individual author, they can easily pu...

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The scanner with digital copyright protection function and its scanning method provided by the present invention will be described below in conjunction with illustrations.

[0021] see figure 1 , the working flowchart of scanner provided by the present invention, it comprises the following steps:

[0022] Step S1, start scanning, that is, start the scanner, and provide a scanning driver to drive the subsequent steps;

[0023] Step S2, constructing a digital watermark, wherein the materials constituting the digital watermark include scanner hardware information, copyright information or scanning user information, etc. This step includes steps such as obtaining information, encrypting, and Base64 encoding, specifically as figure 2 shown;

[0024] Step S3, obtaining scanned data, this step adopts common scanning technical means to obtain scanned data, which will not be repeated here;

[0025] Step S4, performing discrete cosine transform (Discrete Cosine Transform, DCT...
