Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve working efficiency by synthesizing a read original with a stored fundamental original. CONSTITUTION:At the time of performing transmission, the fundamental original is stored in a fundamental original memory part 12 via an image reader 11. The reader 11 reads a set original, and outputs it to an image synthesizer 13 as a read image signal A. To the synthesizer 13, fundamental image information in the memory part 12 is inputted as a fundamental image signal B, and synthesis is performed by taking the OR of the signal A and the signal B. A synthetic image signal C is inputted to and compressed at a compression/expansion circuit 14, and is stored in an image memory part 16 transiently, and is sent to a telephone line 19 via a modem 17 and an NCU18. At the time of reception, an image signal obtained via the NCU18 and the modem 17 is stored in the memory part 16. The signal is demodulated to a reception image signal D and is supplied to a recorder 15, and is printed on recording paper, etc., then, is hard-copied. In such a way, it is not required to perform the synthesis by copying or patching, etc., and it is possible to improve the working efficiency and to perform the transmission easily.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine for transmitting and receiving original documents (graphics, single characters, pictures, etc.) and sounds.

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional facsimile machine of this type, there is one whose block diagram is shown in FIG.

In the figure, an original to be transmitted is read by an image reader 1 and converted into an image signal, and further converted into an image signal by a compression/expansion circuit 2 and stored in an image memory section 3. Further, in response to the telephone number input from the operation panel 4, the receiving facsimile device of the other party is called up through the NCU 3, and the image signal stored in the image memory section 3 is sent out through the modem 6 and the NCU 3.

On the other hand, first, NCU3. The image signal obtained through the modem 6 is stored in the image memory section 3.

Then, this image signal is demodulated into an image signal by the compression/expansion circuit 2, and is supplied to the recorder 7 for hardening. Note that each of these parts is controlled by a control circuit 8.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional facsimile machines have been configured as described above, so if you want to send a document by displaying it on a basic document,
This requires time and effort to once create a manuscript for transmission by combining it by copying, cutting and pasting, etc., and has problems such as extremely low work efficiency.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that can automatically combine a document and a basic document to create a document for transmission.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention includes means for temporarily storing a basic original in advance, and a composition means for combining the read original with the stored basic original.

[For production]

When a manuscript is input, this manuscript is automatically combined with a pre-stored basic manuscript to create a manuscript for transmission.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is an image reader that reads the original;
13 is a basic original memory unit that stores the image of the basic original; 13 is an image synthesizer that combines the read image signal A from the image reader 11 and the basic image signal B from the basic original memory unit 12;
14 is a compression/expansion circuit that compresses or expands the composite image signal C from the image synthesizer 13; 15 is a recorder that stores the received image signal and outputs it as a received original; 16
is an image memory section that temporarily stores the composite image signal C to be transmitted and the received image signal C that has been received. Further, 17 includes a modem for modulating and demodulating data communication, 18 an NCU connected to a telephone line 19, and 20 a switch for operating the device, such as inputting a telephone number and inputting a manuscript. Operation panel 21 is image reader 11 and recorder 1
5 is a mechanism controller for moving the original or recording paper inserted therein, and 22 is a control circuit for controlling these.

In such a configuration, the operation when transmitting the document shown in FIG. 2 will be described below as an example. Note that (a) is the basic manuscript 31, and (b) is the manuscript 3.
2, (C) shows the transmission original 33.

First, if you want to send the manuscript 33, please send the text.

A basic original 31 created in a standard format consisting of line drawings, pictures, etc. is stored in advance in the basic original memory section 12 via the image reader 11.

Next, set the original 32 containing the content you want to send on the image reader 11, and input the telephone number of the person you want to send from the operation panel 2o.The image reader 11 reads the set original 32, and is output to the image synthesizer 13 as a read image signal A. Information about the basic original 31 stored in advance in the basic original memory section 12 is input to the image synthesizer 13 as a basic image signal B, and the image synthesizer 13 synthesizes this basic image signal B and the read image signal A. do. Note that the synthesis by the image synthesizer 13 is realized by ORing the read image signal A and the basic image signal B.

The synthesized signal corresponds to the original document 33 for transmission shown in FIG. . In addition, using the telephone number input from the operation panel 20, the receiving facsimile device of the other party is called through the NCU 3, communication is performed according to the facsimile transmission procedure such as CCITT recommendation GI[[, G■ mode, etc. Transfer the image signal to the modem 17. It is sent to the telephone line 19 via the NCU 18.

On the other hand, at the time of reception, first, the NCU 18. The image signal obtained through the modem 17 is stored in the image memory section 16. Then, the image signal is demodulated into a received image signal by the compression/expansion circuit 14, and is supplied to the recorder 15, where it is printed on recording paper or the like and hardened.

In the above embodiment, the image memory unit 16 and the basic document memory unit 12 are provided as separate units, but the invention is not limited to this, and even if they are the same memory, they may be logically distinguished. The same effect as in the above embodiment can be achieved.

Also, in the above explanation, you input the basic manuscript and then input the manuscript containing the contents you want to send.
This order may be reversed, and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention includes a means for storing a basic original in advance and a composition means for composing the read original with the stored basic original. This document is automatically combined with the basic document to create a document for transmission. This eliminates the conventional effort of composing by copying or cutting and pasting the original to represent the original to be sent on the basic original, resulting in a facsimile machine with high work efficiency and easy transmission. It has this effect.
