Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the control of information by introducing a facsimile communicating technic into a personal computer or a word processor. CONSTITUTION:The system has a facsimile communicating control part 7, a memory device 6 to store, with a file form, the image information received by the facsimile communicating control part and the code information generated by an operator operation, a code image converter 4 to convert the code information to the image information, a displaying device 11 to arrange and display, with a table form, the contents stored into the memory device 6 and display, with a compressed form, the code in the memory device and the image information and a printer 12. Thus, the image information received from a telephone line (p) through a facsimile communication control part 7 is arranged to file form and recorded to the memory device 6 with an image memory 5 as a buffer. The sentence prepared by a word processor included in a command processor 2 is developed from a code memory 3 through the code image converter 4 to the image memory 5 and sent through the facsimile communicating control part 7 to the telephone line (p).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to facsimile communication technology and personal computer application technology, and particularly to a system for processing communication media (image data) in facsimile machines.

Conventional technology In general, a facsimile communication device has the function of reading characters, figures, etc. drawn on paper with a scanner and sending it out as a serial image signal, and the function of recording and reproducing input serial messages on paper. The relationship is similar to that between a television camera and a television receiver.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Conventional facsimile machines are based on the premise of inputting data in sets and outputting them on paper; the meaning of the text that should be read and discarded is treated in the same way as the meaning of the text that should be saved. However, there was a problem in that it could cause troubles such as loss of confidential information.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances,
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a new video facsimile system which makes it possible to solve the above-mentioned problems inherent in the conventional technology.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the video facsimile system according to the present invention includes a facsimile communication control unit, image information received by the facsimile communication control unit, and a code generated by operator operations. a storage device that stores information in a file format; a code image converter that converts code information into image information; It includes a display device that displays code and image information in compressed form, and a printing press.

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a book configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention includes a keyboard 1 through which an operator inputs a command, a command processor 2 that analyzes and executes an operator's input command a and includes a word processor, and an operation performed by the command processor 2. The code to be updated and e (management information,
a code memory 3 for temporarily storing code information (including word processor text information, etc.); a code image converter 4 for converting code information C in the code memory 3 into image information d; and a code image converter 4 for temporarily storing image information d, f, and g. image memory 5, code information C and image information d, f1
a storage device 6 that can organize and store g as a file;
A facsimile communication control unit 7 that controls communication with other facsimile communication terminals through the telephone line p, an image compressor 9 that converts image information in the image memory 5 to match the resolution of the printing machine, and a an image compressor 8 for converting the image information i in the image memory 5; a display device 11 capable of displaying and outputting the code information 0 in the code memory 3 and the image information m from the image compressor 8; and a hood ffr information in the code memory 3. J and a printer I2 that can print the image information k from the image compressor 9, and a facsimile communication control 'MJ7 from the telephone line p.
The image information received through the image memory 5 is organized into a file format using the image memory 5 as a buffer, and is recorded in the storage device 6.

As for the transmission operation, the meaning (code information) created by the word processor included in the command processor 2 is expanded from the code memory 3 to the image memory 5 through the code image converter 4, and is sent to the telephone line p through the communication control unit 7. By storing sentences created with a word processor in the storage device 6 as code information, they can be taken out and reused at any time.

By organizing the above transmission or reception information in a table format as shown in Figure 2, you can always grasp the situation on the display, and if necessary, you can simply select items with the operator's operation. It becomes possible to reproduce the document on the printing press, and by setting a key or password to qualify for keyboard operation, it becomes possible to manage the authority to view confidential documents.To reduce the amount of paper needed. Can be done.

In addition, by making the table shown in Figure 2 editable using the keyboard, and setting the sending time and recipient's phone number, it is possible to automatically send a message at the corresponding time, and to confirm whether the sending is successful or not.
You can learn about failures later.

Furthermore, by assimilating the deletion of items from the table in FIG. 2 with the deletion of information from files, file management within the storage device 5 is also possible.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, by introducing facsimile communication technology into a personal computer or word processor, facsimile communication terminals, which conventionally only sent and received information using paper, can transmit and receive that information. In addition to making management easier, it is possible to reliably save necessary documents without creating unnecessary documents.
