Claim One:
1. An image processing device comprising: a processor that processes a specific image including an object image therein; a memory that is coupled to the processor and stores the specific image therein; a dividing unit that divides the specific image into a plurality of divided images, wherein some divided images have a portion of the object image therein as an object area, and other divided images have no portion of the object image therein as a no-object area, a first storing unit that stores therein an inner-region pattern for applying to the object area; a second storing unit that stores therein an outer-region pattern for applying to the no-object area; a third storing unit that stores therein a mask pattern for applying to the outer-region pattern; a first generating unit that generates an inner-region image by applying the inner-region pattern to the object area in each divided image; a second generating unit that generates an outer-region image by masking the outer-region pattern with the mask pattern to obtain a masked outer-region pattern, and by applying the masked outer-region pattern to the no-object area in each divided image; and a third generating unit that combines the inner-region image generated and the outer-region image generated so as to generate a watermark image in which the specific image is reflected.
