Abstract

PURPOSE:To make jobs efficient through output of only information requiring storage and important information, by displaying facsimile picture information received from other facsimile terminals on a display and selectively outputting the information to a facsimile terminal. CONSTITUTION:Facsimile picture information from other facsimile terminals 13 is automatically received via an exchange network 12 and stored in a picture storage file memory 3 via an interface 2. In instructing the display of reception picture information from an operating instruction section 4, the instruction is interpreted at a control section 8 to read out picture information of the 1st page received from the file memory 3 and displays it on a dot type display sec- tion 7 via a video memory 6 for picture information display. The operator for reception observes the displayed contents and instructs for printing or erasing from the section 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device that displays facsimile image information received from another facsimile terminal or storage/conversion device on a display and selectively outputs it to the facsimile terminal.

Currently, 7mm facsimile is widely used, but all received information is output as a facsimile regardless of the recipient's will, so even if there is no need to save the information or it is not important to the recipient, it is output as a hard copy. There are disadvantages such as consumption of recording paper and troublesome sorting and storage of the output recording paper, resulting in inefficiency of work.

The present invention is characterized by displaying facsimile image information received from another facsimile terminal on a display and selectively outputting it to the facsimile terminal, and its purpose is to provide communication with a high degree of freedom of choice for the receiver. (And in streamlining business operations.

Figure I-1 is an embodiment of the present invention, where 2 is a facsimile image information display/selection output device, 2 is an information transmitting/receiving interface unit having a modem and control procedure function compatible with f-f/millimeter terminal reprinting. , 31-1 is a file memory for storing image information, 4 is an operation instruction section, 5 is an image information decoder compatible with 03 machines,
6 is a video memory for displaying image information, 7i-1 is a dot-shaped display section, 8 is a control section 11, 9 is a changeover switch A for connecting the image information decoder 5, and 10 is a switch for outputting to the own fax machine terminal. Switch B 111 is a local facsimile terminal, 12 is a switching network, and 13 is another facsimile terminal.

To explain the operation, facsimile image information from another facsimile terminal 13 is automatically received by this device via the exchange network 12, and is automatically received and stored in the image information storage file memory 3 via the information transmitting/receiving interface section 2. Suppose that The terminal model of the transmitting side is stored in the control unit 8 in the image information 1y received by the operator. The information transmission/reception interface section 2 is AM-PM-VSn model 1 for 02 aircraft.
1 and TaO2-null procedure functions, as well as V27Ler modem and T30 binary procedure functions for 03 machines, and can selectively operate with 130 other facsimile terminal models.

When the receiver handles operation J1: instructs display of the received ii and i information from the i display section 4, the control section 8 performs Wl interpretation and reads out the image information of the first page received from the file memory 3 for storing both information.

Then, according to the model of the sending terminal stored in the control unit 8, if the other facsimile terminal 13 is 02, the image information is directly stored in the video memory 6 for displaying the image information without passing through the image information decoder 5.
In the case of the 03 machine, the image information is passed through the image information decoder 5 and then written into the image information display video memory 6 and displayed on the dot-shaped display section 7.

The receiving person looks at the displayed image information, selects one of the following three operations depending on the content, and instructs it from the operation instruction section 4, which is interpreted and executed by the control section 8. The first is to display the image information of the next page in the image information storage file memory 3 using the above hL1 procedure, and to erase the previous page in the image information storage file memory 3.The second is to display the image information of the next page in the image information storage file memory 3. This is an operation for displaying information and retaining the image information of the previous page in the image information storage file memory 3. The third operation is to display the next page's image information and output the previous page to the own facsimile terminal 1 via the information transmitting/receiving interface section 2 by using the changeover switch BIO. In the second case, after knowing the contents of other pages, it is determined whether the retained page should be output as a facsimile, deleted, or kept as is.

In the above explanation, only the case where image information is automatically received from other facsimile/millimeter terminals 13 is mentioned, but when image information is automatically received from the storage/conversion device, or facsimile images stored in the storage/conversion device are The same operation can be performed when the information is accessed from the device, retrieved, and once received in the image information storage file memory 3.

As explained above, facsimile image information sent from other facsimile terminals or storage/conversion devices is displayed once on the display, and depending on the importance of the content and the need for preservation, whether to output it as a facsimile or not. Since the receiving side can select the information, there is an advantage that it increases the degree of freedom in communication selection and improves the efficiency of business operations.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a configuration consisting of an information transmitting/receiving interface section, a file memory for image information storage, an operation instruction section, an image information recovery device, a video memory for image information display, a dot-shaped display section, and a control section, the facsimile can be sent from another facsimile terminal or storage/conversion device. After image information is received via the information transmission/reception interface section and stored in the image information storage file memory, the operation in the operation instruction section is interpreted by the control section, and one page of image information is stored from the image information storage file memory according to instructions from the control section. The image information is read out and written to the video memory for displaying image information with or without an image information decoder depending on the terminal type, the image information is displayed on the dot-shaped display section, and the operation instruction section and control section are operated again. In response to an instruction from the computer, the next page's image information is displayed using the above procedure, and the previous page's image information is deleted from the image information storage file memory, retained in the image information storage file memory, or the image information is A fan/millimeter image information display/selection output device characterized by reading previous page image information from a storage file memory and outputting it to a facsimile terminal via an information transmitting/receiving interface section.
