PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a variety of image processing while preventing the breakage of embedded information in an embedment method having improved confidentiality.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus extracts from an input image an object in which information is to be embedded, so as to embed the information into the input image by changing a printout state of the extracted object. The information processing apparatus then processes the input image having the embedded information to generate an output image. Here, the image processing apparatus restricts the image processing which influences the printout state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 |
