碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電子工程系 === 91 === With the widespread of Internet, electronic commercial activities involving the trade of digital multimedia contents over network is getting popular. Therefore, Intellectual Property Management and Protection (IPMP), which protects IP and enables convenient IP trading of contents, becomes an indispensable element of an e-commerce system. MPEG started a standardization effort on specifying a common interface/protocol for IPMP in 1997. They integrate IPMP systems into the existing MPEG multimedia standards. Up to now, IPMP specifications for MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 are nearly completed. The MPEG committee is currently working on MPEG-21 IPMP. The goal of this thesis is to study the MPEG-4 IPMP standards and then design and implement an MPEG-4 IPMP application system. The MPEG-4 IPMP system is a message-based system. Tools such as encryption algorithms developed by different companies or entities can communicate with each other through the use of common message exchange protocol. We thus like to develop application examples that can demonstrate the functionality and powerfulness of this standard. This thesis can roughly be divided into three parts. The first part describes the concept, architecture and interfaces of MPEG-4 IPMP. In the second part, we collect, trace and integrate the software tools that can be used for constructing IPMP application systems. Finally, several application examples have been designed and implemented.
