Digital Watermark Orchestration via Platform Framework
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Information Handling Systems (IHSs) lack efficient mechanisms for intelligent orchestration of digital watermarks during communication sessions, which can lead to unauthorized copying or misuse of sensitive information, especially in video conferencing and collaboration environments.
Innovation Solution
An IHS equipped with a platform framework that applies digital watermarks to content shared during communication sessions, using context information to determine the type, size, position, and number of watermarks, ensuring secure and protected information sharing through intelligent orchestration of video participants and resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If digital watermarks are applied to content during communication sessions, then security and protection of sensitive information is improved, but system complexity and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a platform framework as an intermediary layer between communication applications and the digital watermarking system. This framework provides standardized APIs and orchestration mechanisms, allowing watermarking functionality to be added without increasing individual application complexity. The framework mediates between content sharing operations and watermark application, managing the complexity centrally rather than distributing it across multiple components.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform framework is designed as a universal system that can serve multiple communication applications (video conferencing, screen sharing, collaboration tools) through a common interface. By creating a multi-functional framework that handles watermarking across different application types, the patent avoids duplicating complexity in each individual application while maintaining security across all communication sessions.
2Reliability
If digital watermarks are dynamically applied based on context information, then protection effectiveness is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of content and identification of sensitive information before communication sessions begin. Context information such as content type, sensitivity level, and participant roles are pre-analyzed and stored. During actual communication, the pre-classified information is quickly retrieved and matched with current session context, significantly reducing real-time processing requirements while maintaining effective protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of watermark parameters (visibility, strength, position) based on context information such as content sensitivity, participant roles, and session type. By changing watermark parameters rather than applying fixed watermarks, the system achieves higher protection effectiveness for sensitive content while using minimal or no watermarks for less sensitive material, thereby optimizing processing time and computational resources.
3Measurement precision
If multiple digital watermarks are applied with different characteristics, then traceability and identification capability are improved, but visual quality and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different watermark characteristics to different regions or portions of the shared content based on sensitivity classification. Critical sensitive areas receive stronger, more visible watermarks with detailed traceability information, while less sensitive areas use subtle or no watermarks. This localized approach ensures high traceability for important content while preserving visual quality for the overall presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies watermarks selectively rather than uniformly across all content. Watermarks are applied only to portions of content that require protection, and the number of watermarks is adjusted based on sensitivity levels. This partial action approach maintains traceability for protected content while avoiding excessive watermarks that would degrade visual quality and user experience.

AI summary
Embodiments of systems and methods for methods for the intelligent orchestration of digital watermarking using a platform framework are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive a notification, via a platform framework, of a communication session; and in response to the notification, apply a digital watermark, via the platform framework, to at least a portion of content shared during the communication session.
