A content encoder for encoding content into a source image for display on a display device includes inputs for receiving data representing content to be encoded into the source image; a processor arranged to encode the content into a sequence of display frames each including the source image, the content encoded as a time varying two-dimensional pattern of luminosity modulations of portions of the source image to form a sequence of encoded images of the source image; and outputs arranged to output the sequence of encoded images to the display device.

Content encoded luminosity modulation

A method of generating a sequence of display frames for display on a display device, wherein the sequence of display frames are derived from a data string which is encoded to include error correction in order to enable recreation of the data string at a receiving device, includes dividing the data string to be encoded into a plurality of source segments; encoding the plurality of source segments to generate a plurality of codewords, each codeword comprising a plurality of codeword bits; and positioning codeword bits in the sequence of frames.

Method of generating a sequence of display frames for display on a display device

The present disclosure describes encoding sequence information into a sequence of display frames for display on a display device. An example of encoding sequence information includes generating the sequence of display frames, inserting monitor flags within each display frame, each monitor flag being capable of moving between a first state and a second state, setting the state of monitor flags within each display frame to a predetermined configuration, and encoding sequence information in the sequence of display frames such that neighboring display frames in the sequence have different predetermined configurations.
