Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate a trouble to write in an address for every manuscript at a transmitting side by converting a character code corresponding to address information to a character pattern, and transmitting the character pattern to a transmission destination together with a picture signal to be transmitted. CONSTITUTION:An abbreviated number inputted from an operation part 1 is successively fetched into a control part 8. The control part 8 sends the abbreviated number to a transmitting part 7, and the part 7, based on the number, connects a line with a transmission destination. Next, the control part 8 reads successively a character code corresponding to the abbreviated number from a memory part 4, and sent the character code to a character generator 5. The character generator 4 converts the character code to the character pattern in order and sends it to a buffer memory 6. On the other hand, picture information stored in a picture memory 3 is also transferred to the buffer memory 6 and both character pattern and picture information are transmitted from the transmitting part 7.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a facsimile device that combines and transmits image information on a transmission document and image information related to a destination. Conventionally, when transmitting images on a document using a facsimile machine, the name of the destination is written in the upper right corner of the document before transmission. Therefore, if the operator of the receiving facsimile machine looks at the received document, he or she will be able to determine whether the image information was definitely sent to him or not. I was able to confirm.

On the other hand, in recent years, image information to be transmitted is temporarily stored in memory,
Broadcast communication, in which the same image information is sent to multiple locations, is now often performed.

However, when image information is temporarily stored in memory and sent as a broadcast message, it is not possible to write the destination name on the manuscript for each destination and send it. Therefore, the image information related to such broadcast communication Even if the operator of the facsimile machine that received the facsimile machine looks at the received document, there is no addressee name written on the document, so there is a problem in that it is impossible to confirm whether or not the document was actually sent to you. Ta.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that allows an operator to send a document by attaching the destination name to a bucket 11A without having to directly write the destination name on the document.

[Summary of the invention]

The above-mentioned object of the present invention is to provide a storage section for storing character codes corresponding to destination information, to perform line connection based on input fixed destination t# information, and to store character codes corresponding to this destination information. This can be achieved by converting the text into a character pattern and transmitting the character pattern together with a picture signal to a transmission destination connected to a line.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on examples of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The facsimile machine of this embodiment has a destination information input means equipped with a numeric keypad for inputting destination information and a transmission switch for instructing to start transmission. an image signal generation section consisting of an operation section 1, a reading section 2 for reading the image information on the document, an image memory 3 for storing the image information read by the reading section 2, and characters corresponding to the destination information. Memory unit 4 that stores codes
The character generator 5, which is a pattern generation unit that converts a character code into a character pattern, the one-stroke memory 3 or the character generator 5, and the buffer memory 6, which temporarily stores the sent image information, and the buffer memory 176. Picture report? The main components are a transmitter 7 that transmits data and a controller 8 that controls each part.

First, the operator's operating procedure for carrying out multiplication using the facsimile machine of the fifth embodiment is sequentially inputted using the abbreviated numbers assigned to each destination as destination information. In addition,
For example, "23"":ll:" between the abbreviated numbers.
”, “24”, “41:”, “25”, etc. r41-J
shall be separated by. After inputting the abbreviated number, press the send switch. 〇 Next, the operation of the operation controller 8 of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 2 0 Input from the operation unit 1 by the operator The abbreviated numbers are sequentially fetched into the control section 8 (step 201).The control section 8 confirms that the transmission switch on the operation section I has been pressed? When detected (step 202), the control unit 8μ reading unit 2 reads the document on the document table and stores the read image information in the 1-image memory 3 (step 203).

Next, the controller 8r sends the first input abbreviated number to the transmitter 7.
Based on the abbreviated number sent from the control unit 8, a line connection is requested with the destination to which the abbreviated number is assigned (step 204), and then input to the control unit 8. The character codes corresponding to the abbreviated numbers are sequentially read from the storage unit 4 and sent to the character code generator 5 (step 205).

Note that the storage unit 4 stores character codes of destination names to which each abbreviated number is assigned, as shown in FIG. In addition, the reading order of the character codes corresponding to the abbreviated numbers is that the character codes corresponding to the abbreviated numbers of destinations connected to the line are read first, and then the abbreviated numbers of other broadcast destinations are read out. The character code f is read out. The character generator 5 converts the character codes sent from the storage unit 4 into character patterns in the order in which they are sent, and sends them to the buffer memory 6.Synchronized with the timing of this sending, the character generator 5 sends the character codes to the backup memory 6 to the control unit 8. Area to write character pattern? Send specified address information 0 Character pattern that is first sent from character generator 5 to buffer memory 6 as shown in FIG. 3 by this address information.

In other words, the area AK is written in the character pattern indicating the destination to which the line connection is made, and the subsequent character pattern,
In other words, area B is included in the character pattern indicating other broadcast destinations.
,B,. It is assumed that the character code and address are written into character patterns such as "To" and "Broadcast address" by the control unit 8 on the character generator 35 and back. When the image information of the leading part of the original is synthesized in this way (step 206), the controller 8 sends the image memory 3 and the buffer so that the image information on the original in the image memory 3 is transferred to the buffer memory 6. Memory 6 is used as secondary side 1. When the transfer is completed, the control unit 8 controls the transmitting unit 7 so that the image information written in the buffer memory 6 is transmitted to the transmission destination connected to the line (step 207).

The second abbreviated number input is sent to the transmitter 7, and based on this abbreviated number, (b) line connection is made. At the same time, the image information of the first part of the document is synthesized.

Therefore, at this time, in area A, the character pattern of the destination to which the line is connected using the second inputted abbreviated number is written.

Thereafter, the character pattern of the destination name and circulation name is sent to all destinations in the same way, along with the image information.

According to this embodiment, operator μ broadcast destination abbreviated number? By simply inputting the information, you can add the recipient's name and broadcast name to the manuscript and send it. Therefore, since the recipient's name and broadcast sales name are displayed on the received document, the operator of the receiving facsimile machine can check whether the document was really sent to him or her by looking at the received document. You can check whether the same manuscript has been sent to other places.

In the above embodiment, the case where the broadcast communication is carried out is explained, but it goes without saying that the unfired fjA can also be applied to the case where the transmission is carried out to K destinations.

Also, I manually entered the abbreviated number as the destination information, but is it a normal phone number? You may also input it.

In addition, destination information input means HOM R (optical
[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, a text message indicating the destination name is generated based on the input destination information. , this character pattern is sent to the destination connected to the line, so the operator of the sending facsimile machine. This saves you the trouble of writing in the recipient's address for each manuscript.
