Abstract

Systems and methods render video content on different user-computing platform types. The method comprises: transmitting a script to the user-computing platform, the script comprising a non-compiled series of instructions which is configured to be interpreted by an application program operating on any one of the plurality of user-computing platform types; and using the application program to interpret the transmitted script by performing the series of instructions to thereby decode encoded video data accessible to the user-computing platform into decoded video data comprising one or more frame images without use of a previously compiled program module that is installed prior to the interpreting and without compiling the series of instructions prior to the interpreting.

Abstract

Methods are provided for encoding watermark information into media data containing a series of digital samples in a sample domain. The method involves: dividing the series of digital samples into a plurality of sections in the sample domain, each section comprising a corresponding plurality of samples; processing the corresponding plurality of samples in each section to obtain a single energy value associated with each section; grouping the sections into groups, each group containing three or more sections; assigning a nominal bit value to each group according to a bit assignment rule, the bit assignment rule based on the energy values of the sections in the group; and assigning a watermark bit value to each group. The methods also involve, for each group, comparing the watermark bit value to the nominal bit value and, if the nominal bit value and the watermark bit value of the watermark information bit do not match, modifying one or more energy values of one or more corresponding sections in the group such that re-application of the bit assignment rule would assign the watermark bit value to the group. The bit assignment rule may comprise: a categorization rule for categorizing each group into one of a plurality of categories; and for each category, a unique category bit assignment rule for assigning a nominal zero bit value or a nominal one bit value to each group.
