Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention stores high-resolution images in an image storage unit, and displays the high-resolution images stored in the image storage unit on a general television. This invention relates to an image output television system in which the image is thinned out and displayed on the television screen when it is displayed on the screen.

[Prior art and problems]

Currently, attempts are being made to transmit newspapers, etc. to each household by facsimile, and display the transmitted newspapers, etc. on a television screen at each home, but the image information transmitted by facsimile is displayed on a general television. In this case, the total number of points that can be displayed on the TV screen of -a is about 700x480, and the resolution of facsimile is 4 to 8 per dragon, and the resolutions of the two are different. Therefore, if image information of a unit area on a facsimile screen is projected onto a general television, it will be displayed large on the television screen, making it impossible to display one page of a newspaper on the west side of the television.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention is based on the above considerations, and provides an image output television system that can solve all the problems that occur when displaying image information expressed as a collection of dots on a television screen. The purpose is to

(Means for Achieving the Object) Therefore, the image output television system of the present invention has a storage unit that stores image information of documents or drawings consisting of figures, characters, etc., multiple pages such as newspaper pages, or facsimile pages. , a reading unit that reads out a designated page or a partial page image of a designated area in the designated image from the storage unit;
A TV screen conversion output unit that converts and outputs a paper image or a partial paper image for a TV screen, a paper specification means that specifies an output paper image, and a desired partial area in the paper image output on the TV screen. or a means for specifying a position, a means for zooming in on a partial area or a portion related to the position specified by the means, or outputting the entire partial image on a television screen, and when all partial images are being output on the television screen; The present invention is characterized by comprising means for outputting other partial images in the page image as they are on the television screen, and means for enlarging the partial image or converting it into a page image.

Example of invention C] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

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

In Figure 1, 1 is the keyboard, 2 is the mouse, 3
is an instruction input unit, 4 is a control unit, 5 is a scanner, 6 is a facsimile reception unit, 7 is a people processing unit, 8 is an image storage unit, 9 is a readout processing unit, 1o is a display processing unit, 1) is hardware・Copy output section, 12 is conversion output section, engineering 3 is TV reception section,! 4 each indicate a hard copy device.

The keyboard 1 is provided with character keys and various funky keys. Mouse 2 is used to move the cursor. The instruction input section 3 includes a keyboard l
Alternatively, instructions from an input device such as a mouse 2 are transmitted to the control unit 4. The control unit 4 performs image data input control, readout control, and processing based on instructions such as cropping, display, and search. The input processing unit 7 controls the scanner 5 and the facsimile receiving unit. The image storage unit 8, which also assigns numbers to paper images, stores input image information, and is composed of a normal memory or a disk device.This image storage unit 8 includes: The read processing unit 9, which also manages data by index, reads data from the image storage unit 8 according to instructions from the control unit 4, and sends it to the display processing unit 10. It also performs dot thinning and processing as necessary. The 0 display processing unit 10, which also performs processing such as interpolation,
The controller 4 also has a screen memory (not shown).
Perform processing such as multi-window according to instructions from
The hard copy output section 1) controls the hard copy device 14 and converts the screen data b formant based on instructions from the control section 4.
Control output to.

When the device is powered on, a list of stored paper images is displayed on the television screen.

When the operator specifies the page to be displayed with the cursor, the control section 4' instructs the image storage section 8 to read out the page image. The image storage section 8 reads out the designated page image and sends it to the readout processing section 9. The read processing unit 9 performs processing such as thinning or interpolation of the read dot data as necessary, and sends the processed data to the display processing unit IO.

The display processing section 10 reads and stores one page worth of dot data sent from the processing section 9 in the window storage area #1 according to instructions from the control section 4. ! The data stored in the 1wi area #l is sent to the conversion output unit 12. The conversion output unit 12 converts the data to be compatible with the television receiver 13 and sends the data obtained as a result of the conversion to the television receiver 13.

As a result, the specified page image is displayed on the television screen.

If the operator sees a part of the paper image displayed on the TV screen and wants to enlarge it, he or she performs the operations shown in Figure 5 or clicks the icon as shown in Figure 5(a). Specify calling and cutting. Note that the icon means a selection menu.

Next, as shown in Figure 5 Tbl and (C), specify the block to be cut out with the cursor and press the execution key on the keyboard or mouse. Next, as shown in Figure 5 (d), again Call up the icon, specify the display block with the cursor, and press the execution key. Then, the portion or image within the cutout block is enlarged and displayed in the display block.

That is, the control unit 41 instructs the image storage unit 8 to read data corresponding to the cut-out block, and the image storage unit 8
reads the instructed data and sends it to the read processing section 9.

The read processing unit 9 thins out or interpolates the sent data according to instructions from the control unit 4, and transfers the data to the display processing unit 10.
The 0 display processing unit 10 sends the sent data to the window display i! according to instructions from the control unit 4. Store it in area #2, and record the window so that the image in window storage area #2 is above the image in window storage area #1! t'61) The data in area #1 and window storage area #2 are merged, and the merged data is sent to the conversion output unit 12. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an enlarged display of a portion of the page.

When the paper is displayed on a TV screen, the number assigned to the paper is also displayed. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing this state. If the operator wishes to add a name to the displayed page image, the operator inputs the desired name from the keyboard 1. Then, a name is added to the page image, and the added name is also displayed on the television screen.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of displaying a plurality of page images or partial page images on a television screen.
If you want to know the major headlines of pages 1 to 14-2 of a newspaper, you can reduce the size of pages 1 to 14-2 and display them on the television screen.

Of course, multiple partial images can also be displayed on the television screen.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to display a facsimile screen or a newspaper screen using an existing television device, and without having to display a facsimile receiving section on the paper each time. It is possible to produce remarkable effects such as being able to freely view images of one's choice.
