Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication terminal which excludes pages unnecessary of transmission to determine pictures on front faces and rear faces and designates double-face recording to transmit them in the case that pictures in plural pages of a spread document are read and double-face recording is designated to transmit the picture for every page. SOLUTION: A main control part 11 reads the spread document by a read part 14 and designates double-face recording to transmit the read picture for every page of the document to a transmission destination from a communication part 16. If pages unnecessary of transmission like the leading page or the last page are included, these pages are excluded to determine pictures which are to be on front faces and rear faces of recording paper, and they are transmitted. When pictures are transmitted while maintaining pages on front and rear faces of the document, blank pages are properly inserted to determine pictures on front and rear faces. When pages on front and rear faces of the document are not maintained, unnecessary pages are excluded to closely determine pictures to be recorded on front and rear faces of recording paper, and they are transmitted. Pictures on front and rear faces can be determined including pictures in transmission guide cover pages.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a communication terminal device having a function of reading images of a plurality of pages of a two-page spread document and a function of designating and transmitting double-sided recording.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a communication terminal device for performing facsimile communication has been developed which has a function of reading a spread document such as a book for each page. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a two-page spread document.
In order to read a two-page spread original, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the original is opened, and the original is turned upside down and placed on an original mounting table such as a platen glass for reading. In this case, an image for two facing pages is read. There is a function that can handle the image for two pages by dividing the image into images for each page. Using this function, it is possible to transmit, for example, an image for each page in the page order of the document. For example, a double-page spread A3-size document can be divided into two-page images and transmitted as two-page A4-size images. By using such a function, it is possible to save the trouble of performing operations such as reading each page of a two-page spread original separately.

On the other hand, it has been considered to transmit an image by designating double-sided recording at the time of transmission. By using this function, images to be transmitted sequentially can be recorded on both sides of the recording paper. For example, if an image for two pages is transmitted by designating double-sided recording, the receiving side forms an image on the front and back of one recording sheet and outputs it.

[0004] By combining the above-described function of dividing a two-page spread original into images for each page and the function of designating and transmitting double-sided recording, the receiving side can bind double-sided recording paper. For example, a booklet similar to the double-page spread document on the transmission side can be obtained. For example, the page indicated as “2” in FIG. 5A and the page indicated as “3” in FIG. That is, by transmitting the two pages so as to be recorded on both sides, a booklet similar to the double-page spread document on the transmitting side can be obtained on the receiving side.

However, for example, for the front cover and the back cover,
When read as a two-page spread document, one page becomes a meaningless image. Also, for example, in a book or the like, the first page and the last page of a double-page spread are often blank. For example, FIG.
The page shown as “1” in FIG. 5A and the page shown as “4” in FIG. 5B correspond to these pages, and these pages are often blank. For example, if the first page is blank, the image on this page is the back side image, and there is no front side image, so when specifying and transmitting double-sided printing, the first recording paper is blank on both sides. I will. Similarly, if the last page is blank, the image on this page is recorded on the front side but remains blank, and is not recorded because there is no image on the back side. Will be output.

[0006] When the blank sheet is output in this way, the receiving side may suspect that the device is defective or misunderstand that the transmission was erroneous. Another problem is that recording paper is wasted.

Conversely, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), when two pages indicated as "1" and "2" are read in a double-page spread and transmitted by designating double-sided recording, the page configuration of the original is received. When reproducing on the side, the page indicated as "1" is recorded on the back side and the front side is blank. For this reason, there is a problem that one side of the recording paper is wasted even though both sides are designated and sent. In addition, when a document is designated and printed on both sides regardless of the front and back of the document, for example, the page shown as “1” and the page shown as “2” have a front and back relationship, and, for example, spread over a double-page spread. There is a problem that images drawn on the screen are divided into two sides, making it difficult to see.

Further, for example, in FIG.
There is also a case where the user does not want to transmit the page indicated as “” or the page indicated as “4” in FIG. 5B because the content is unnecessary. Also in such a case, there is a problem that an unnecessary page is transmitted if the above-described function of dividing a two-page spread original into a plurality of pages and transmitting the same is used.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and is directed to a case where a plurality of pages of a two-page spread document are read and transmitted for each page. It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication terminal device capable of excluding pages that do not need to be transmitted, deciding images to be front and back, and specifying double-sided recording and transmitting.

[0010]

According to the present invention, in a communication terminal device, a reading means capable of reading a plurality of pages of an image on a two-page spread document, a communication means capable of designating double-sided recording and transmitting the image, The image read by the reading means is transmitted for each page of the document in accordance with the order of the pages, and when the double-sided printing is designated, the pages which do not need to be transmitted are determined, the images to be turned into front and back sides are determined, and the double-sided printing is designated and transmitted. It has a control means for controlling the communication means. Thus, for example, when the first or last page of a double-page spread is a blank page, an unnecessary page, or an invalid page, it is possible to transmit by designating double-sided recording after excluding those pages. . As a result, useless blank paper that is not recorded on both sides at the receiving side is prevented from being output, and misunderstanding such as suspicion of equipment failure at the receiving side or operation error at the transmitting side can be prevented.

According to the present invention, in a communication terminal device, a reading means capable of reading images of a plurality of pages on a two-page spread document, a communication means capable of designating double-sided recording and transmitting the image, and a reading means capable of reading the images. The original image is transmitted for each page of the original document in the order of the pages, and when the first effective page is an image to be recorded on the back side when double-sided recording is designated, a transmission guide cover page is added as a front side image to designate double-sided recording. Control means for controlling the communication means so as to perform transmission. Thus, on the receiving side, since the image is recorded on the back of the transmission guide cover page, the recording paper can be used without waste.

In such a communication terminal device of the present invention, the front and back sides are determined for the image read by the reading means so that the front and back pages of the document are maintained, or the front and back images are determined regardless of the front and back pages of the document. Can be selected. With this configuration, for example, when it is desired to send blank pages together, transmission is performed irrespective of the front and back pages of the original, thereby reducing communication costs and saving the recording paper on the receiving side. Can be.
Also, for example, there is a case where the receiving side wants to record and output the document so that the front and back sides of the document are maintained, for example, when there is an image extending over the left and right pages of the two-page spread document.
Such a case can be dealt with by determining the front and back of the image so that the front and back pages of the document are maintained.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a communication terminal device according to the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a main control unit, 12 is a display unit, 13 is an operation unit, 14 is a reading unit,
15 is a recording unit, 16 is a communication unit, 17 is an NCU, 18 is a modem, 19 is an image memory, 20 is RAM, and 21 is RO.
M and 22 are buses.

The main control unit 11 controls the entire communication terminal device, operates each unit according to an operation on the operation unit 13 and the like, and realizes an image transmission / reception function and the like. In particular, the reading unit 1
When reading an image of a two-page spread original such as a book in step 4, a function of treating the images of the left and right pages of the original as separate images is realized. In addition, as an image transmission function, it controls transmission of an image on a document read by the reading unit 14 and an image of a transmission guide cover page to a communication partner via the communication unit 16. At this time,
It is possible to specify and transmit double-sided recording. Furthermore, it is also possible to treat the left and right pages of a two-page spread document as separate images, and specify double-sided recording and transmit. In this case, for example, if an instruction indicating that the image is unnecessary is given for the first page or the last page, the front and back of the image to be transmitted are determined by excluding the unnecessary page, and the image is transmitted from the communication unit 16. Control. In addition, when a transmission guide cover page is added, transmission can be performed so as to be the front and back of the image of the first page.
The image of the transmission guide cover page can be read in advance from the reading unit 14 or generated at the time of transmission. Further, it is possible to determine the front and back of an image so that the front-back relationship in a two-page spread document is maintained and transmit the image, or to eliminate such unnecessary pages and eliminate and transmit unnecessary pages. It can also be controlled to selectively perform these operations.

The display unit 12 can display various information such as a message to the user, a message indicating the state of the apparatus, and operation guidance.

The operation unit 13 allows an operator to make various settings relating to document reading. In particular, whether to treat the left and right pages as separate images when reading a double-page spread document, whether to specify double-sided recording and transmit, and transmit the image of each page so that it has the same front-back relationship as the document Whether or not to do so can be set. Further, in the configuration in which the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted or not in advance, or in the configuration in which the transmission guide cover page is read in advance by the reading unit 14, it is possible to specify that the transmission guide cover page is the transmission guide cover page at the time of reading. it can. Of course, when performing various other settings and instructions, the operation unit 13 is used to select an image transmission function or other functions, and to instruct execution of the selected functions.

The reading section 14 reads an image on a document to be transmitted under the control of the main control section 11. Here, it is assumed that the reading device is a flatbed type reading device, and a document is placed on a document placing portion such as a platen glass and an image on the document is read. For example, a two-page spread document such as a book can be placed in an unfolded state, and an image of a plurality of pages on the opened surface can be read. In this case, the reading unit 14
Or read the image of the plurality of pages separately, or read the image of the plurality of pages at once, the read image is later divided into images of each page by the main control unit 11,
It can be handled as an image of each page in the manuscript. Note that the reading unit 14 may have a function of transporting and reading a document, or may be an imaging device such as a digital camera.

Under the control of the main control unit 11, the recording unit 15 stores an image received by the communication unit 16 or an image read by the reading unit 14, various setting information and management information,
A message for the user is formed on the recording paper.
As a recording method, for example, an electrophotographic method, a heat-sensitive method,
Various methods such as a thermal transfer method and an ink jet method can be adopted.

The communication unit 16 communicates with a communication partner device via, for example, a public line. The NCU 17 controls lines and the like. The modem 18 modulates and demodulates image data to be transmitted and received.

The image memory 19 stores image data to be transmitted, received image data, images read by the reading unit 14, and other images being processed. When the image of the transmission guide cover page is separately read, the image can also be stored in the image memory 19. When storing an image, the image may be stored as it is or may be stored in a compressed state.

The RAM 20 is used when it is necessary to store data in the processing of the main control unit 11 and other units.
The ROM 21 stores a program that defines the operation of the main control unit 11, fixed data, and the like. When the transmission guide cover page is automatically generated, various information described on the transmission guide cover page is stored in an area of the RAM 20 which is not erased even when the power is turned off or in a rewritable area of the ROM 21. You can keep.

The bus 22 includes a main control unit 11, a display unit 12,
The operation unit 13, the reading unit 14, the recording unit 15, the communication unit 16 (N
CU 17, modem 18), image memory 19, RAM2
0, ROM 21 and the like are connected to each other to enable data transfer between them. In addition to these, various devices such as an external storage device may be connected to the bus 22. Also, for example, an interface is connected to the bus 22,
An external computer or LA through that interface
N or the like.

Next, an example of the operation of the communication terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. 2 and 3
9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a document reading and transmitting process. It is assumed that recording can be output on both sides of the recording paper at the communication terminal device of the transmission destination, and that double-sided recording can be designated at the time of transmission.

First, in S31 of FIG. 2, the operator inputs the telephone number of the transmission destination using the operation unit 13 and performs various settings. Here, the original to be read is a two-sided original, and a plurality of pages in the two-sided original are set to be transmitted as an image for each page, and are also set to be transmitted by designating double-sided recording. Further, it is possible to set whether or not transmission of the first page and the last page is necessary, and whether or not to transmit the document with the same page configuration as the original. In addition, it is possible to input a setting as to whether or not to transmit the image of the transmission guide cover page. However, in the following description, it is assumed that the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted. The transmission guide cover page can be read in advance or automatically generated. Of course, it is also possible to set not to transmit the transmission guide cover page.

When the various settings are completed, in step S32, the process waits for an instruction to read and transmit the original from the operator. When the operator instructs reading and transmission of the original, in step S33, the image of the first page of the original in the spread state is read. Next, in S34, the image of the second page is read.
In the reading of such two-page images, the reading unit 14 reads each page separately, and the reading unit 14 continuously reads two pages, and divides the read image into two-page images. It may be. When you get the image of two facing pages,
In S35, it is determined whether the reading is completed or not,
When reading is to be performed further, the process returns to S32 and the reading of a plurality of spread pages is repeated.

When the reading of the image to be transmitted is completed, S36
, It is determined whether or not it is set to transmit the image of the first page of the document. If it is set to transmit, in S37, the first page transmission flag is set to o.
n. If it is set not to transmit the image of the first page of the document, S37 is skipped and the first page transmission flag remains off.

In S38, it is determined whether or not it is set to transmit the image of the last page of the document. If the last page of the manuscript is set to be transmitted, S3
In step 9, the last page transmission flag is turned on. If it is set not to transmit the last page of the document, S39 is skipped and the last page transmission flag remains off.

In step S40, it is determined whether or not the front and back pages of the document are recorded on the front and back of the recording sheet of the transmission destination, and whether the page configuration of the document is set to be maintained. If the setting for maintaining the page configuration of the document has been set, the original same-side / front-side transmission flag is turned on in S41. By turning on the same original front and back transmission flag and binding the recording paper that has been double-sided printed at the destination, it is possible to obtain a recorded material having the same page configuration as the spread of the original at the transmission source. If the setting is made to send the document without maintaining the page configuration of the document, S41 is skipped, and
The original same-side / front-side transmission flag is kept off. In this case, for example, the unnecessary pages are transmitted so as to be packed and recorded,
Recording paper can be saved at the transmission destination.

Next, in S51 of FIG. 3, the destination is dialed. Then, in S52, double-sided recording is designated for the transmission destination. To specify double-sided recording, for example, after detecting a DIS (digital identification signal) from a communication terminal device of the transmission destination and confirming the capability of double-sided recording, it is possible to specify double-sided recording of an image with DCS (digital command signal). it can.

Then, in S53, it is determined whether or not the same document front / back transmission flag is on. If the same document front and back transmission flag is on, the process proceeds to S54, and in the processing after S54, the front and back of the image of each page is determined and transmitted so that the front and back pages of the document are maintained. If the same document front and back transmission flag is off, the process proceeds to S63, and in the process after S63, the front and back of the image of each page is transmitted such that the front and back pages of the document are packed as much as possible without transmitting. Decide and send.

If the same document front and back transmission flag is ON in S53, the image of each page is transmitted so as to maintain the front and back pages of the document. In S54, the first page transmission flag is set to o
It is determined whether or not n. If the first page transmission flag is on, the image of the first page of the two-page spread document is transmitted.
At this time, in order to transmit the document while maintaining the front and back pages, the image of the first page is an image to be recorded on the back surface of the recording paper. Therefore, the image of the transmission guide cover page can be recorded on the surface of the recording paper. In S72, the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted as the image of the front side of the recording paper, and subsequently, in S73, the image of the first page of the document is transmitted as the back side image. When the image of the transmission guide cover page is not transmitted, a white image may be transmitted as the front image. Then, the process proceeds to S57, in which the images of the second and subsequent pages are transmitted.

If the first page transmission flag is off, the image of the first page of the two-page spread document is excluded as a transmission unnecessary page. In this case, the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted as the image recorded on the front surface in S55, but is transmitted in S5.
In step 6, a white image is transmitted as an image recorded on the back surface. In order to transmit the document so as to maintain the front and back pages, the image of the second page, which is the page following the excluded first page, should be recorded on the surface of the recording paper. Therefore, control is performed so that nothing is recorded on the back surface of the recording paper on which the image of the transmission guide cover page is recorded, and the relationship between the front and back pages of the document is maintained. When the image of the transmission guide cover page is not transmitted, S55 and S56 are not performed, and thus the image transmission is not performed here.

After the image of the first page or the white image is transmitted according to the image and setting of the transmission guide cover page in this manner, in S57, it is determined whether or not the image of the next page is the image of the last page. judge. If it is not the last page image,
Since at least the image of the next double-page spread of the document has been read, the images of the next two pages are transmitted as images to be recorded on the front and back surfaces of the recording paper in S58 and S59. Then, the process returns to S57.

As the image is transmitted two pages at a time, the image of the next page becomes the image of the last page. That is, when the original is transmitted so as to maintain the front and back pages, one page of the double-page spread is transmitted as the back image, and the other page is the next image. Therefore, for the two pages read at the end of the double-page spread, only the image for one page remains. If this is detected in S57, it is determined in S60 whether or not the last page transmission flag is on.
If the last page transmission flag is on, in step S61, the image of the last page of the document is transmitted as the surface of the last recording sheet. Since there is no image to be transmitted next to the last page, a white image is transmitted as the back image in S62. In this way, transmission of all spread document images is completed. If the last page transmission flag is off, the transmission may be terminated without performing the processing of S61 and S62.

Next, the case where the same document front and back transmission flag is off in S53 will be described. In this case, the image of each page is packed and transmitted without maintaining the relationship between the front and back pages in the two-page spread document. First, in S63, it is determined whether or not the first page transmission flag is on. When the first page transmission flag is on, when the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted first, the image of each page becomes the same as the front and back pages of the document.
Therefore, the process proceeds to S72, and the above-described processing from S72 is performed. That is, the image of the transmission guide cover page is displayed on the surface,
The image of the first page is transmitted as the back side, and thereafter, the images of the front and back sides are sequentially transmitted. Then, only when the last page transmission flag is on, the last page may be transmitted with the image of the last page as the front side and the white image as the back side.

When the first page transmission flag is off, the image of the first page is excluded and the image is not transmitted. Therefore, in S64, the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted as the image recorded on the front surface, and subsequently, in S65, the image of the second page is transmitted as the image recorded on the rear surface. The image of the second page must be recorded on the front side of the recording paper in order to record and output in the same manner as a two-page spread document. However, since the same-face front and back transmission flag is off, the relationship between the front and back pages in the document is ignored. To send.

Thereafter, the image is transmitted so that the images for two pages are recorded on the front and back sides. In this case, since the image of the last page is the image recorded on the back side, the image recorded on the back side is transmitted. Transmission must be performed in accordance with the last page transmission flag. Therefore, after transmitting the image of the next page as the image to be recorded on the front surface in S66, the process proceeds to S67.
At 66, it is determined whether the page following the page transmitted is the last page.
If it is not the last page, in S68, the image of the next page is transmitted as the image to be recorded on the back side, and the process returns to S66.

After transmitting the image recorded on the front surface in S66, if it is determined in S67 that the next page is the last page, it is determined in S69 whether or not the last page transmission flag is ON. If the last page transmission flag is on, in S70, the image of the last page of the document is transmitted as the image recorded on the back side. If the last page transmission flag is off, in step S71, the image of the last page is excluded, and a white image is transmitted as an image recorded on the back side. Thus, all the processes are completed.

In the case where the front and back pages of the document are not maintained (the same document front and back transmission flag is off) and the image of the transmission guide cover page is not transmitted, if the first page transmission flag is on, In the processing from S66, the image may be transmitted from the image of the first page. In this case, if the first page transmission flag is off, the image of the first page is excluded and the image is transmitted from the second page. What is necessary is just to transmit two pages at a time.

In S56 and S71, when there is no image to be recorded, a white image is transmitted to maintain double-sided recording. However, when the transmission sequence can easily switch between double-sided recording and single-sided recording, or when a page not to be transmitted is processed as a blank page on the receiving side, such transmission of a white image may not be performed.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a specific example of a transmission result of a two-page spread original in the embodiment of the communication terminal device of the present invention. FIG. 4A shows the state of the read original, and FIG.
(B) and (C) show the state of recording output at the transmission destination. Note that this example shows a case where transmission is not required for the first page marked “1” and transmission is set for the last page marked “6”. FIG. FIG. 4C shows the case where the front and back sides of the document are not maintained. In any case, the image of the transmission guide cover page is added.

When the setting for maintaining the front and back pages of the original is performed, as shown in FIG. 4B, the image of the transmission guide cover page is recorded on the surface of the first recording paper. , A white image is transmitted on the back side, and the page becomes a blank page. Thereafter, the page marked "2" and the page marked "3", which have a front-to-back relationship on the manuscript, are transmitted so as to be recorded on the front and back of the second recording paper, respectively. Similarly, the page marked "4" and the page marked "5", which have a front-to-back relationship on the manuscript, are transmitted so as to be recorded on the front and back of the third recording sheet, respectively. The last page, "6", is recorded on the front side of the fourth recording sheet, and a white image is transmitted as an image on the back side, resulting in a blank page.
At the destination, the four recording papers recorded and output in this manner are overlapped and bound to obtain a recorded matter having the same front and back relationship as the original of the transmission source. As a result, an image that extends over two facing pages is also recorded at the transmission destination in a manner that also extends over two facing pages.

When the setting is made so as not to maintain the front and back pages of the original, as shown in FIG. 4C, the image of the transmission guide cover page is recorded on the surface of the first recording paper. After that, the image of the page marked "1" is excluded from the transmission target on the back side, and the image of the page marked "2" is transmitted. Thereafter, the pages marked "3" and the page marked "4" are transmitted so that they are recorded on the front and back of the second recording sheet, respectively. Further, after transmitting the image of the page marked "5" as the image of the surface of the third recording paper, the next page marked "6" is the last page. In this example, since the image of the last page is transmitted, the image of the last page (the image of the page marked “6”) is transmitted as the image on the back side of the third recording sheet. In this way, images are recorded on both sides of the three recording sheets at the destination. In this case, although the front and back pages of the manuscript are not maintained, the document is transmitted by packing only the page marked “1” excluded from the transmission target. The recording paper can be saved earlier.

Although the last page has been described as being transmitted in this example, if the setting for excluding the last page is made, the fourth recording sheet is output in the example shown in FIG. Not done. In the example shown in FIG. 4C, the back side of the third recording sheet is a blank page. When the image of the transmission guide cover page is not transmitted, the first recording sheet is not output in the example shown in FIG. When the front and back pages of the document are not maintained, the page configuration is different from that of the example shown in FIG. 4C, and three sheets of recording paper are used due to the front and back relationship shown as the second to fourth sheets in FIG. Will be recorded and output.

In the above-described operation example, the case where unnecessary setting is enabled for only the first page and the last page has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there is a case where any one of the two facing pages is unnecessary. It is also possible to configure so as to be able to cope with such a case. For example, when reading an image of a plurality of pages of each double-page spread, if there is any unnecessary page, it may be configured to instruct the start of reading from the designation, and the designation of the unnecessary page may be held. Then, at the time of transmission, if the front and back pages of the document are to be maintained, a white image may be transmitted for pages that have become unnecessary. If the front and back pages of the document are not maintained, the image of the unnecessary page is not transmitted, and the image of the following page may be packed and transmitted.

Further, in the example shown in FIG.
Performs only recording of images received by the NCU 17 and the modem 18, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, a facsimile machine with a copying function may be used.

In the example shown in FIG. 1 described above, the communication terminal device of the present invention has been described as having an image transmitting / receiving function, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured to have a copying function, a function of dividing the two-page spread original into each page and recording the divided pages, and a function of performing double-sided recording at that time. Also in this case, a function may be provided in which unnecessary pages are recorded while being excluded, or pages are recorded while maintaining the front and back pages of the document.

[0048]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a two-page spread original is read as a multi-page image,
When transmission is performed by designating double-sided recording, if there is a page that does not need to be transmitted, such as the first page or the last page, the transmission can be performed excluding the unnecessary page. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the transmission of the meaningless image and to prevent the transmission destination from erroneously viewing the received content due to the reception of the meaningless image. In addition, such a transmission-unnecessary page is often a blank page, and it can be prevented that the transmission of the blank page causes the destination to be mistaken for an abnormality in the device. Further, even when the image of the transmission guide cover page is transmitted, it is possible to record the image from the back surface, so that the recording paper is not wasted at the transmission destination. Further, it can be transmitted so that it is recorded in a page configuration while maintaining the same front and back page relationship as the original, for example, even if the image spans a double-page spread,
Such an image can be transmitted without being divided on the front and back. In addition to the transmission maintaining the relationship between the front and back pages, it is also possible to select the transmission of the image of each page without maintaining the transmission, and it is possible to receive the data while saving the recording paper at the transmission destination. This has the effect.
