-
Q
-
On which principle is HiddenTag developed and used?
-
-
A
-
The digital watermarking technology has been applied to HiddenTag. This technology enables insertion and detection of information into and from the multimedia content, which can not otherwise be recognized by human senses. Currently, HiddenTag is substituted for QR in promotion and marketing sectors. Using original properties of digital watermarking, HiddenTag can also used in authenticity verification or to prove product falsification/counterfeit.

How is HiddenTag created?
-
-
A
-
HiddenTag is created by the use of QRJOY or HiddenTag at the moment. Please write to us a request for service.
-
Q
-
How is HiddenTag dectected?
-
-
A

-
Q
-
HiddenTag labels are not copied at all?
-
-
A
-
All technologies can be duplicated.
However, duplication of HiddenTag is rarely possible due to various solutions digitalized along with unique materials and printing techniques.
The label itself could be duplicated, but the data matrix within the label can not be copied by piracy corporations.
Since, HiddenTag labels can only be scanned by HiddenTag app, data of copied labels will be monitored and tracked.
Giving both CK&B and customers to use for legal response.
This is how we protect our partner’s product.
Among all other digital anti-counterfeit services, HiddenTag is the only digital anti-counterfeiting service that has proven to be the most effective.
-
Q

How do I check if it is duplicated?
-
-
A
-
Various data collected through the HiddenTag app(recognition frequency, recognition area, recognition pattern) are analyzed to determine whether the label is genuine or counterfeit.
Every HiddenTag labels have its own unique data matrixes so, if there is an abnormal number of scans, region history, or pattern, you may be suspicious of replication.
-
Q
-
What is the difference between HiddenTag and QR code? Is it possible to scan HiddenTag using QR code apps?

-
Q
-
What is contents DNA filtering?
-
-
A
-
It means a signal that has been converted to fit the characteristics of each content in order to insert the information that the user wants into the content, and it means the number, letter, logo, etc. entered in the content. For example, if the user enters data "CKNB", the content will contain the letter "CKNB" and the same character will appear when detected. Depending on your input method, you can insert the serial number in barcode format or any information you want, such as the creator and title of the content, the logo.
-
Q
-
What are the applications for the contents DNA filtering technology?
-
-
A
-
It can be used in the protection of copyrighted contents that have become a hot topic in recent conversation.
In the occurrence of illegal content distribution it can also be used in finger printing to identify the illegal distributor.
Using the watermarking technique in the search engine, a watermark can be searched and the content containing that watermark can be filtered.
In the video / audio monitoring system, it enables monitoring of the commercial broadcasting, and determines if the content has been modified by identifying falsification of counterfeit in the digital content.
-
Q
-
How is the contents DNA filtering module made up?
-
-
A
-
In general, a contents DNA filter module consists of an Extractor and a Matcher.
The former is used to extract unique features of the content while the latter is used to calculate and indicate the degree of sameness of the extracted information.
-
A
-
It refers to a converted signal to suit the properties of each content so as to insert user information into that content, which takes the form of number, character, logo etc. For instance, when the user enter data "CK&B" in characters, these are inserted into the chosen content and the same is detected. Depending on the method of input the user has selected, the watermark to be inserted may take the form of the serial number like the barcode type, author or title of the content, logo or user ID.
-
Q
-
What is a watermarking?
-
-
A
-
It refers to a series of processing to insert or extract a watermark into or from the content. A signal that cannot be seen or heard by human is inserted into the image, video or audio signals and applied to various areas such as Copyright, Finger printing and monitoring / Filtering systems
-
Q
-
Is the picture quality or sound quality of the original data affected if the watermark is inserted therein?
-
-
A
-
Not at all. The watermark is inserted in such a way that it cannot be recognized visually or acoustically ensuring that the one with the watermark has the equal visual or audio quality as the original.
-
Q
-
In which areas is the watermark used?
-
-
A
-
It can be used in the protection of copyrighted contents that have become a hot topic in recent conversation. In the occurrence of illegal content distribution it can also be used in finger printing to identify the illegal distributor. Using the watermarking technique in the search engine, a watermark can be searched and the content containing that watermark can be filtered. In the video / audio monitoring system, it enables monitoring of the commercial broadcasting, and determines if the content has been modified by identifying falsification of counterfeit in the digital content.
-
Q
-
How is a watermark module configured?
-
-
A
-
The watermark module consists of Watermark Embedder and Watermark Detector. An Embedder is a module that inserts a user-entered watermark into its content. The Detector is a module that detects the watermark in the content with the watermark inserted. The watermark insertion system checks for the presence of other watermarks in that content and, if not, inserts the watermark entered by the user. The watermark can be detected through the detector for contents.
-
Q
-
How long does it take to insert or detect a watermark?
-
-
A
-
It varies depending on the user environment and content’s type and size, but in most cases it works on a real-time basis. For general video monitoring system the insertion or detection of water mark is done on a real-time basis, and for the copyrighted system the time to insert or detect can be adjusted depending on the importance of the copyright verification.
-
A
-
It refers to a barcode inserted into a document available on internet, which is used to prevent counterfeit or falsification.
This technology enables the insertion of entire document information into a 2D barcode to determine has been falsified or forged by comparing it with the original.
-
Q
-
What is a 2D watermark?
-
-
A
-
It refers to a technology that combines the outstanding watermarking technology of CK&B with the features of 2D barcode so as to hide a Visual Carrier inside an area not recognizable by human.
In this context, a Visible Carrier refers to an image that is artificially created when there is no image to insert a watermark (Such as logo or seal) into.
-
Q
-
Is there a way to insert a 2D barcode or a 2D watermark into a document which has no space for it?
-
-
A
-
Yes. There is. A 2D barcode or a 2D watermark can be inserted into the logo or the seal contained in the document to enable detection of document falsification or counterfeit.

Q
-
What is SSELF test automation?
-
-
A
-
SSELF is a test automation solution developed independently by CK&B.
With the SSELF test automation system, video and audio errors can be determined automatically for display devices and digital devices.
This will replace the manual test works.
-
Q
-
What are the principles of the SSELF test automation technology?
-
-
A
-
The SSELF test automation technology is developed based on the digital watermark technology.
For instance, upon watermarking a video and audio signal, and recording it with digital camcorder and the microphone, the watermark is then detected.
If the detection is disabled, it is determined that there is a visual / audio error.
SSELF is an applied version of the conventional digital watermarking technology that has been used for copyright protection.
