Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided an information processing apparatus comprising: a storage unit configured to store a plurality of process modules including a first process module for performing an embedding process by which information is embedded in image data; a setting unit configured to set a condition for performing the embedding process by the first process module; and a controlling unit configured to control a workflow in which one or more processes respectively performed by the process modules, including the first process module, are sequentially performed; wherein the first process module performs the embedding process under the set condition in response to detecting that image data input to the first process module in controlling the workflow is in a preset image format.

First claim
