Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm an original transmitted at a reception side, by transmitting the time when the storage of the original is stored and the number of sheets of the original. CONSTITUTION:In setting the original to a facsimile device, first the original is read in and stored in a memory 8. The time is read out from a timer 7 and stored in a memory 6. In storing each sheet of the original, the number of pages of the original is counted and stored in a memory 4. The memory 4 converts the time and page number information into characters and they are stored in a memory 8 together with the read information. When the reading of the original is finished and picture information is transmitted, the time and the number of pages are recorded at the reception side. When plural sheets of the originals are set at the same time, since the time and the number of pages set on the 1st recording paper are described, the mixture of the other originals does not take place.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile communication device, and particularly relates to the above-mentioned facsimile communication device that temporarily stores a document to be transmitted as image information in a storage device and then transmits it sequentially or at a designated time. .

In facsimile transmitters, various means have been proposed or utilized for transmitting a signal indicating the time of transmission together with image information. However, the situation in the above-mentioned communication device is different from that in a simple transmitter, and the time at which the operator sets the document and the time at which transmission actually starts are usually different. In particular, sending a large amount of image information to a large number of destinations17
In some cases, the actual transmission time may be significantly delayed due to the waiting list, which may cause confusion such as a mistake in checking the transmitted document between the sending and receiving sides.

The present invention focuses on the above problem and attempts to effectively solve it.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The figure is a block diagram showing a broadcasting device according to the present invention.
Reference numeral 1) is a facsimile machine equipped with scanning and recording means, encoding and decoding circuits, modulation and demodulation circuits, control circuits, etc., and in this explanation, it functions as L7 with a facsimile transmitter.

A document detection device (2) is provided in the document feeding path of the facsimile device (1) for detecting the presence of a document (al) to be transmitted using an Ie electric detection switch. (3) is the CPU, that is, the main control unit, which controls the 01 system of this notification device, and (4) functions as a character generator that stores programs and converts various signals into binary numbers indicating characters. EPROM or program memory. (
5) is a RAM, that is, a work memory, which acts as a counter to count the number of sheets of the original (a), and (6) is a RAM that stores various operational commands along with the telephone number of the receiving party.
That is, it is a command memory, and ri) is a timer that emits a clock signal. (8) is a magnetic disk, that is, an image information memory, which stores and stores the original document (at uniformity) sent from the facsimile machine (1) via the buffer/switch (9), and (10) is an image information memory that stores various documents. This is a keyboard for performing input operations.

(11) and (12) are facsimile machine (1) and CPU (
3) An interface for exchanging commands with
(13) is a dialing interface that converts the telephone number stored in the command memory (6) into dial pulses.

The operation of the above-mentioned broadcasting device will be explained step by step.

(a) By operating the keyboard (10), the receiving party's telephone number is registered in advance in the command memory (6).

(b) Enter the destination, designated transmission time, and number of originals into the command memory (6) using the keyboard (10). At this time, the number of sheets is also stored in the work memory (5).

(c) The above number of originals (a) is 7 axis IJ device (a)
The image information is sent to the buffer/switch (9).
) are sequentially stored on the magnetic disk (8).
The accumulation start time for the first original i'' (al) is extracted from the timer (7) and stored in the command memory (6).

(Every time 6 sheets of J9 manuscript (al) are accumulated, the manuscript detection device (2) sequentially uses the number of sheets, that is, the pages, in the work memory (
5) and program memory (4) G this page I
A gi number signal indicating whether the document is an I document is sent. At this time, signals indicating the accumulation start time and the number of originals to be transmitted are simultaneously sent from the command memory (6).

(to) The program memory (4) receives each of the above signals and writes, for example, "April 10, 1982 13:so P-01105
It is converted into a signal indicating a character such as j, and stored on a magnetic disk (8) together with its image information for each manuscript (=l).

()l-F notes (a) to (to) CocPU (via 31 [2
The image information for each school in the manuscript (al) is controlled by the first page.
The accumulation start time of sheet [1, the number of original sheets accumulated at once, and the number of pages are added and stored.

(h) When the above image information is sent, it is sent to the receiving side.

Characters indicating each of the above information are recorded together with the image information.

As mentioned above, in this communication device, when multiple sheets of originals are sent successively to the same recipient, 1 the storage start time of the first sheet 11 of the original is recorded on each receiving sheet along with its image information. 2 Notes: Therefore, if the above times are the same, it is assumed that the transmission and f-cos are prepared at the same time, and the above-mentioned confusion between transmission and reception does not occur. However, in addition to marking each document with a page number, this number can be displayed as the number of sheets out of the total number of sheets [ ], which reduces transmission/reception errors and enables reliable information exchange.

1.J As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an effective transmission time record that matches the characteristics of the broadcasting device,
I was able to successfully achieve my intended purpose.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The figure is a block diagram of a facsimile communication device according to the present invention.
