Solution Overview

Problem

Existing moving image coding technologies are incompatible with compression-coded moving image streams divided into files, making it difficult to detect tampering in such streams.

Innovation Solution

A moving image coding apparatus and method that generates and multiplexes time-continuity information, position information, and inspection information with the coded bitstream, allowing for the detection of tampering by comparing these elements across frames.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If moving image compression technology embeds code signal of preceding frame to detect tampering, then tampering detection capability is improved, but compatibility with file-divided compression coded streams deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetampering detection capabilityVSAvoidcompatibility with file-divided streams
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the moving image stream into multiple file segments (first file, second file, etc.) while maintaining tampering detection capability across segment boundaries. Each file contains inspection information that can independently verify tampering within that file, enabling the system to work with file-divided compression coded streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces position information and inspection information as intermediary elements that bridge the gap between compression coding and tampering detection. These intermediaries are embedded in the coded bitstream and enable verification without requiring access to original uncompressed frames or preceding frame code signals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If inspection information is generated from coded information at specific positions, then detection precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidcoding apparatus complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by embedding position information and inspection information during the coding process itself. The position information generation unit and inspection information generation unit operate during coding to pre-calculate and embed verification data, so that tampering detection can be performed later without complex real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified copies of verification data (inspection information) that are embedded in the bitstream. Instead of requiring complex reconstruction of original frames for verification, the system uses these copied inspection information values that can be directly compared to detect tampering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A moving image coding apparatus adapted to code moving images including time-continuous frames is provided. A moving image coding unit outputs a coded bitstream in which the moving images are coded. A position information generation unit generates position information in a frame, based on time-continuity information indicating time continuity of the frames. A coded information acquisition unit acquires coded information on the moving images, based on the position information. An inspection information generation unit generates inspection information from the coded information. A multiplexing unit multiplexes the bitstream and the inspection information.
