<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology capable of surely preventing production of copies with a simple configuration at a low cost. <P>SOLUTION: A block extract section 131 extracts a block from received data. An encode execution section 132 uses encoders A, B, C, ... corresponding to a plurality of different encode methods to encode the extracted block. An optimum processing selection section 133 calculates an evaluation value as to encoded data of the encoded block by each encoder, selects one method among a plurality of the encode methods corresponding to the encoders A, B, C, ... on the basis of the evaluation value, and an output data generating section 134 associates control information including information for representing the method of encoding selected by the optimum processing selection section 133 with the encode data by each block and provides an output. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
