In an SS additional information detecting unit detection of a correlation between an image signal Si super imposed with a copying preventive control signal which is spectrum-spread and a PN code series is carried out at every vertical section. In the case where a correlation value between the copying preventive control signal which is superimposed on the image signal Si and is spectrum-spread and a PN code for inverse spreading does not exceed a predetermined threshold value, the correlation value calculated at every vertical section is added. The copying preventive control signal which is spectrum-spread and is superimposed on the image signal is detected by changing the threshold value of …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 25, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 25, 2018.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
