Abstract

Nowadays, the multimedia consumer is introduced to an entirely new multimedia concept, namely the enriched media. The versatility of the digital networks alongside with the new, intelligent terminals, have allowed the creation and distribution of the classic media types enhanced with additional content information, introducing new features, from the trivial media-related information (e.g. EXIF data for the still images, ID3 tag for the MP3 music) to display/play information and interactive behaviour. However, these new features are hardly available on classic distribution networks. This paper presents an innovative approach to multimedia enrichment, allowing not only the distribution of this type of media over older networks, but its compact and unitary handling as well. The enriching information is inserted directly into the host media by means of data hiding techniques. The experiments were carried out in cooperation with the SFR (Vodafone group) wireless service provider in France.
