The Use of Steganography to Control Multimedia Players
Grzegorz Kozieł, Marek Miłosz · Communications in computer and information science · 2015
Addition of automatic control to a multimedia player is desirable. It allows a user to save his/her preferences inside the multimedia content. It also gives the possibility of reducing the media size or delete a chosen part of the recording. Moreover, this solution allows to steer multimedia players during stream transmission. This kind of control is achievable with the use of steganography. Transparent markers are added to an audio track. Each marker can code a group of orders. Orders are used to control the multimedia content flow and its parameters. Markers have a certain structure allowing to keep multiple orders together with their parameters. Each marker is precisely set in time and has enough capacity to keep 256 various orders or their groups. The least significant bit method was used to insert markers.
