The marked copy is generated by embedding data representative of a payload data word into the audio signal. The encoding data processing apparatus comprises a code word generator operable to generate a water mark code word from the payload data word and to read data representing the water mark code word into a shuffle data store. A shuffle processor is operable to generate pseudo randomly at least one address within an address space of the shuffle data store for each predetermined period and to read data representing part or parts of the water mark code word out from the data store at locations identified by the randomly generated address, and a data embedding processor operable to receive the audio signal and to embed the data representing the part or parts of the water mark code word read out from the shuffle data store into the audio signal for each predetermined period. In one example, the audio signal is one of a plurality of audio signals, each of which is provided on one of a plurality of audio channels of a media item, and the marked copy is generated by embedding the part or parts of the data representative of a payload data word into the audio signal of one or more of the audio channels. As such, even though different parts of the water mark code word may be embedded into the different audio channels, because of the pseudo-random generation of addresses, there is an increased likelihood that if there is a sufficient of the marked audio signal available, then the water mark code word can be recovered from the different audio channels or one of the audio channels. | 06-11-2009 |
