An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic watermark
embedding apparatus, an electronic watermark embedding method, a record
medium having an electronic watermark capable of securely detecting the
watermark in the case of performing the noise reduction process or data
compression process to the information on the contents and a
manufacturing method of record medium. The electronic watermark embedding
apparatus is provided with an embedding device for embedding an
electronic watermark comprised of a signal generated based on a
predetermined rule into contents comprised of digital information; a
variation device for varying intensity of the electronic watermark to be
embedded into the contents; and a controlling device for controlling the
variation device so as to change the intensity of the electronic
watermark, and wherein the controlling device for controlling the
variation means so as to increase the intensity of the electronic
watermark at intervals are provided.
