Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for tracing sources of printed paper documents. The system comprises a printer, a scanner, a PC (personal computer) and a printer driver. The printer driver comprises a digital watermark embedding module and is used for driving the printer to complete the printing function of automatically embedding digital watermarks. The method includes the steps of firstly, submitting a printing task; secondly, capturing printing data; thirdly, embedding the digital watermarks; fourthly, printing paper documents; fifthly, scanning the paper documents; sixthly correcting digital images; seventhly, extracting the digital watermarks; and eighthly, determining document sources. While operation process of embedding the digital watermarks is effectively simplified for users and effect on digital watermark embedding algorithm during printing is effectively lowered, tracing the sources of the printed paper documents is achieved, copyrights of the documents are protected and leak ways are traced.

Description

Review the system and method for printing the paper document source
Technical field
The present invention relates to the digital anti-counterfeiting technical field, further relate to and utilize printer, scanner, PC and printer driver structure to review the system and method for printing the paper document source.The present invention can obtain the information of author, document or printer by reviewing the source of printing paper document, the purpose that reaches by this protection document copyright and follow the trail of the approach of divulging a secret.
Background technology
Printer is computer system output peripheral equipment commonly used; development along with high accuracy input-output equipment; particularly precision surpasses the appearance of color jet-ink, laser printer and the high accuracy color copy machine of 1200dpi; so that becoming, the forgery of printed product is more prone to; the reduction of this infringement cost has brought dispute and the contradiction of a series of copyright protections; therefore, in the urgent need to a kind of system and method that can effectively identify, detect and review printing paper document source.
At present, temporarily without reviewing the system of printing the paper document source, and it is also few to review the method for printing the paper document source, sums up and gets up to be divided into two classes:
One class is used special material to realize printing the paper document source and is reviewed, and these class methods are used the special Paper Printing document of material, then directly review the document source according to the difference of paper material.The deficiency that these class methods exist is that used paper cost is high, has increased the printing cost.
Another kind of use encryption technology realization document source is reviewed, these class methods are used digital watermark technology more, be one of the most frequently used method of present digital anti-counterfeiting technical field, review but these class methods are applied to the electronic document source more, can not directly apply to printing paper document source and review.Such as people such as Weina J at " A novel least distortionlinear gain model for halftone image watermarking incorporating perceptual qualitymetrics " (Data Hiding and Multimedia Security, 2009, a kind of digital watermarking algorithm is proposed 4: 65~83), this algorithm comes embed digital watermark by the pixel value of revising on the fixed position, and the image after processing has preferably visual characteristic.But through printing, great changes will take place for pixel value, can not successfully extract due digital watermarking.Summary is got up, realize printing reviewing of paper document source if use digital watermark technology, then need to be before document delivery be printed to printer, the digital watermarking of using Digital Watermarking Embedded Algorithm with vision invisible but identifying author, document or Printer Information embeds document, when needs are reviewed printing paper document source, scan and obtain scan image printing paper document, then utilize the digital watermarking extraction algorithm to extract digital watermarking, review the source of printing paper document according to digital watermarking at last.Therefore the deficiency of this class methods existence is, the user need to realize embedding algorithm with specific software or the complicated program of operation before printed document, therefore increased user's operating process.And because the digital watermarking algorithm that these class methods are used does not have to consider or can not reduce the print procedure of printer to the impact of Digital Watermarking Embedded Algorithm from root, so the deficiency that these class methods also exist is not have the ability that anti-printing is attacked.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to overcome above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, solve printing cost height or the user's complex operation that prior art exists and can not resist the problem of attacking of printing, make up a cover and reviews the system of printing the paper document source and propose a kind of method of printing the paper document source of reviewing.
System of the present invention comprises printer, scanner, PC and printer driver.Printer is normal printer, is used for realizing basic printing function; Scanner is scanner, is used for realizing basic scan function; PC is ordinary PC, is used for connecting printer and scanner, finishes submission and the control of printing and scan task; Printer driver comprises print data trapping module, digital watermarking merge module and data-printing module, is installed in the common PC, is used for driving the printing function that printer is realized automatic embed digital watermark.
The concrete steps of the inventive method are as follows:
(1) submit print out task to: the user uses PC to submit print out task to printer;
(2) catch print data: the print data trapping module of printer driver, catch print data;
(3) embed digital watermark:
The digital watermarking merge module of printer driver is embedded into digital watermarking in the print data, and the print data after watermarked is sent to the data-printing module;
(4) print paper document:
The data-printing module of printer driver obtains printing paper document with the data-printing output that receives;
(5) scanning paper document:
The user uses scanner scanning to print paper document, obtains original scan image;
(6) correcting digital image:
Adopt method for correcting position, original scan image is proofreaied and correct, obtain correcting image;
(7) extract digital watermarking: extract the digital watermarking in the correcting image;
(8) determine the document source: determine the document source according to digital watermarking.
The present invention compared with prior art has the following advantages:
First; because the present invention uses normal printer and printing paper; review the technology of printing the paper document source based on special papery compared to existing technology; overcome the deficiency that required paper material is special and cost is higher, so that the present invention reduces greatly in order to protect copyright to review the required cost in document source.
Second, because the present invention uses the printer driver that comprises the digital watermarking merge module, can realize the printing function of automatic embed digital watermark, avoided compared to existing technology the user before printing, to use the troublesome operation of specific software or operation complicated process, so that the present invention has simplified user's operating process.
The 3rd, because the present invention uses the printer driver that comprises the digital watermarking merge module, in printer driver, finish digital watermarking and embed task, overcome compared to existing technology the impact of print procedure on watermark embedding effect, so that the present invention has better anti-printing attacking ability.
