DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an image transmitting apparatus according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a document reading unit for reading a document, 2 is an encoder for encoding the image information output from the document reading unit 1, and 3 is the encoded image information output from the encoder 2. This is an image information memory. 4 is an operation panel comprising a tablet and a keyboard such as Kanji and Kana characters,
Reference numeral 5 denotes a CRT display, 6 denotes a floppy disk, 7 denotes a character generator such as Kanji Kana characters, and 8 denotes an encoder that encodes a character pattern output from the character generator 7. 9 is a communication control unit for controlling communication with each destination terminal, 10 is a line,
Reference numeral 11 is a control unit connected to the blocks 4 to 7, 9 and the like.

In this embodiment, the user of the image information transmitting apparatus stores the management table for each destination terminal on the floppy disk 6 by using the operation panel 4 and the CRT display 5 at the time of transmission. FIG. 2 shows the contents of the management table, including a terminal number (a number assigned to each destination terminal), a telephone number of the destination terminal, and a list of users of the terminal (hereinafter referred to as a terminal). (Referred to as a user list) for each destination terminal.

In this specification, the user means not only the name of the user of each destination terminal, but also the name of the department to which the user belongs, the code attached to the user, etc.
It contains all information that helps identify the user.

A user number is attached to each user name in the terminal user list (in FIG. 2, this user number is attached to the head of the user name). Therefore, by specifying the terminal number and the user number, each of the users registered in the terminal user list can be specified.

When actually transmitting a document, the user of the image information transmitting apparatus first uses the operation panel 4 and the CRT display 5 to perform the following procedure to the recipient of the document on the destination terminal. Make a selection.

That is, the user of the image information transmitting apparatus first specifies the terminal number of one destination terminal using the operation panel 4. Then, the control unit 11 causes the CRT display 5 to display a terminal user list of the destination terminal.

Next, the user of the image information transmitting apparatus is
From the terminal user list displayed on the display 5, a terminal user to be a recipient of a transmission original is selected by designating a user number or the like from the operation panel 4. In addition, CRT
When the name of the recipient of the transmitted document does not exist in the user list displayed on the display device 5, the recipient name can be newly added to the user list by the operation panel 4.

When the selection of the recipient of the original document at the destination terminal is completed, the original document reading section 1 is made to read the transmitted original document. As a result, the image information output from the document reading unit 1 is encoded by the encoder 2 and then encoded by the image information memory 3.
Is accumulated in

When the reading of the transmission document is completed, the control unit 11 gives the telephone number of the destination terminal to the communication control unit 9 by referring to the management table corresponding to the destination terminal designated by the operation panel 4. The communication control unit 9 makes an automatic call according to the telephone number, and connects to the destination terminal. When this continuation is completed, the control unit 11 reads out the user name (consisting of the character code) corresponding to the user number to be the recipient of the document selected by the operation panel 4 from the management table and uses it. The person's name is given to the character generator 7. Then, the character generator 7 generates a character pattern corresponding to the user name. The character pattern is encoded by the encoder 8 and then transmitted by the communication control unit 9 to the destination terminal.

When the transmission of the character pattern is completed, the communication control unit 9 then reads out the image information of the original from the image information memory 3 and transmits it to the destination terminal via the line 10. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, at the destination terminal, the received original document added to the beginning of the original document is obtained as the destination address in which the user name designates the recipient (1 in FIG. 3).
2 is a document to be transmitted, and 13 is a received document).

Similarly, when transmitting a document to another destination terminal as well, the user name corresponding to that terminal is read from the management table, and the code corresponding to this user name is read. The converted character pattern is transmitted from the communication control unit 9 to the destination terminal. After the transmission of the character pattern is completed, the image information of the document is transmitted to the destination terminal.
