Description

Facsimile's specific document editing transmission device and method

The present invention relates to the transmission of an original in a facsimile, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for editing and transmitting a specific original.

Typically, the fax simply sends or prints the information stored in memory. In the case of transmission, it is possible to change the TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification) part located at the top of the paper, but it is impossible to modify the content of the original itself. Therefore, even if it is necessary to make minor corrections or transfer the same contents only by the name of the other party, the corrections must be made on the manuscript.

In other words, the facsimile does not process the information with the corresponding code for the character information, but rather with the image, so that the contents of the original are stored in memory and the specific part desired by the user is deleted or replaced with other data. Could not be done.

In this way, the facsimile is not possible to modify a simple manuscript, and the use of the memory transfer function is not efficient in view of the user's inconvenience and memory transfer function.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for editing and transmitting a specific document in a facsimile.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First of all, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. Also, in the following description, many specific details such as components of specific circuits are shown, which are provided to help a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It is self-evident to those of ordinary knowledge in Esau. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a configuration diagram of a system consisting of a facsimile and a computer to which the present invention is applied. The computer 500 connected to the facsimile 300 sets a specific area of the original to be transmitted as a variable editing area.

Referring to the detailed configuration of the facsimile 300, the interface unit 120 is for data transmission and reception with the computer 500. The control unit 111 controls the overall operation of the transmission mode, the reception mode, and the copy mode of the fax according to the set program. In addition, the control unit 111 may include a program memory and a data memory or may be externally connected as shown by reference numeral 119. The program of the present invention is stored in the program memory, and the data generated during the execution of the program is temporarily stored in the data memory. The OPE 112 includes a key input unit 220 and a display unit 210. The key input unit 220 of the OPE 112 generates data of a key pressed by the user to designate each mode and perform an operation of the designated mode, and output the data to the controller 111. In addition, the display unit 210 of the OPE 112 performs a function of inputting and displaying display data indicating an operation state of the system when the controller 111 performs each mode. The sensor unit 113 detects the presence or absence of an input document and print paper, and outputs the detected state signal to the control unit 111. The scanner 114 transmits the data, which the CCD (not shown) reads image data from the original, photoelectrically converts it, and outputs the data to the controller 111. The image processor 115 encodes and decodes the image data output from the scanner 114 and the image data output from the modem 117. That is, the image data input from the scanner 114 is divided into a background and a text or a half-tone image data is processed so that the receiving side can receive almost the same image as the actual image. do. The print unit 116 prints the image data input from the image processing unit 115 on a print sheet when the receiving mode and the copy mode are controlled under the control of the control unit 111. The modem 117 is controlled by the control unit 111 and performs analog modulation on the data output from the control unit 111 and digitally demodulates the signal received through the transmission line. That is, in the transmission mode, the image data output from the image processing unit 115 is modulated and transmitted in accordance with the transmission type-the standard of the facsimile, and in the reception mode, the modem 117 processes the encoded image signal input through the transmission line. Demodulate in original form so that you can The network control unit (NCU) 118 forms a transmission / reception path between the telephone line (tip, ring) and the modem 117 under the control of the control unit 111.

2 is a block diagram of a control unit and a memory of the facsimile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting a specific area of a document to be transmitted as a variable editing area in a fax according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user places an original on the platen glass and selects a mode for setting a specific area of the original as a variable editing area with a predetermined key, the control unit 111 detects this in step 3a and causes the scanner 114 to scan the original in step 3b. To control. In operation 3c, the scanned document is transmitted to the computer 500 through the interface unit 120. In step 3d, the computer 500 receives the original and outputs it on the monitor in step 3e, thereby allowing the user to set a desired editing area. There may be various methods, but the present embodiment adopts a method of recognizing an edited area when a user erases a desired position from a document displayed on a monitor with a cursor and a delete key. In this case, the desired position means, for example, an area in which the name is written if only the name of the other party of the manuscript is changed and the rest is continuously transmitted.

If the user selects the editing area using the computer 500 in step 3f, the control unit (not shown) of the computer 500 detects this, and calculates an address on the page memory 202 corresponding to the editing area in step 3g. Send to the facsimile 300 as an edit address. In step 3h, the control unit 111 of the facsimile 300 controls the editing address received through the interface unit 120 to be stored in the pointer memory 203. In step 3i, the original scanned in step 3a is stored in the page memory 202, and the edit area is saved by ignoring the scanned data and storing '1' in a batch corresponding to the editing address or storing other specific data. The original format of a specific content having a variable editing area is determined so as to be distinguished from other parts.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a specific message editing and transmission control process of a fax according to an embodiment of the present invention.

After the process as shown in FIG. 3, the basic document is prepared, the user inputs a specific message corresponding to the editing area (for example, the name of the other party that is variable during group transmission) and then transmits the document. do. Hereinafter, the specific message is called an edit message. To this end, if the user sets the edit and transfer mode with a predetermined key, the control unit 111 of the facsimile 300 detects this in step 4a and checks whether or not to use the data already stored in the user memory 201 for editing in step 4b. When data already stored in the user memory 201 is used, the data read from the user memory 201 is displayed on the display of the OPE 112 in step 4c to allow the user to select one of them. The data already stored in the user memory 201 is, for example, a name, a facsimile number, or the like input corresponding to the short dial key. If the data in the user memory is not used, new data is input. In step 4e, the data input by the user is recognized as an edit message. In step 4d, when the user selects a data selection or inputs new data in step 4e, the memory proceeds to step 4f to store the input or selected data and the memory capacity corresponding to the editing address set in FIG. Compare the size of. If it is determined that the capacity does not exceed the comparison result, in step 4g, the input or selected data is stored in the edit address of the page memory 202 to complete the form of the original to be transmitted. In step 4i, the data of the page memory 202 is read and transmitted through the modem 117, the NCU 118, and the telephone line. On the other hand, if it is determined that the capacity is exceeded, the process proceeds to step 4i to display an error occurrence state on the display unit and then returns to step 4b.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the present invention enables the facsimile to edit and transmit a specific document, so that a simple document can be edited in the facsimile bar, thus increasing the convenience of use and the efficiency of using the memory transfer function. There is also an advantage to increase.
