DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus for transmitting an image using one of a plurality of color modes, a method for controlling the facsimile apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium storing a control program for the facsimile apparatus. Things.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus, when facsimile reception is selected in a situation where recording paper and a sufficient amount of recording material such as ink and toner for recording an image are sufficient, the facsimile apparatus is used. The facsimile reception processing was executed using the maximum function that has been performed.

[0003] Even if there is no recording paper, if there is another recording material such as ink or toner, or
If memory reception is specified, if there are resources for reception, for example, memory for memory reception, facsimile reception is executed using the maximum resources and functions of the facsimile apparatus. (In this case, memory reception).

[0004]

In a situation where the above-mentioned memory reception must be performed, conventionally, the memory reception has been executed if there is a memory for the memory reception.

On the other hand, as the cost of the color recording means is reduced, a facsimile apparatus having a color receiving mode for receiving a color image in addition to a mode for receiving a binary image and a halftone (halftone or gray scale) image. However, in this type of device which has been conventionally considered, which of the above reception modes is allowed does not particularly take into account the resource status of the device, and the color reception mode is transmitted from the transmission side. Is designated, color facsimile reception is executed by memory reception.

However, a color image has a large amount of information and requires a large amount of memory for image processing. Therefore, if the remaining amount of memory for memory reception is small, the color image is immediately received (color reception during execution). Or subsequent reception) cannot be continued.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem and solve the above problem.
The color mode for transmitting the value image, halftone image, color image, etc. is selected appropriately according to the resource status of the receiver, without causing any obstacles such as making it impossible to perform the ongoing communication and subsequent communication. The purpose is to ensure communication.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a facsimile apparatus for transmitting an image using any one of a plurality of color modes, a control method for the facsimile apparatus, and a control program for the facsimile apparatus. A configuration in which, in a computer-readable storage medium, a receiver detects resources available for reception processing, and the receiver controls a color mode at the time of image transmission according to a detection result of resources available for reception processing. It was adopted.

[0009] Alternatively, the receiver has a function of receiving a JPEG encoded image and a function of receiving a full-color image if the available memory capacity is equal to or more than a predetermined capacity at the time of reception without recording paper. On the other hand, if the available memory capacity is less than the predetermined capacity, the transmitter is notified that there is no JPEG encoded image receiving function and that there is no full color image receiving function.

[0010] Alternatively, upon receiving the recording paper, the receiver once notifies that the receiver has the function of receiving the JPEG encoded image and the function of receiving the full color image, and then specifies the memory reception from the transmitter to use the receiver. If the available memory capacity is equal to or greater than the predetermined capacity, the process proceeds to the next protocol.If the available memory capacity is less than the predetermined capacity, transmission is performed when the transmitter specifies color information transmission or grayscale transmission. The device is notified again that there is no JPEG coded image reception function and no full color image reception function. If the transmitter does not specify both color information transmission and grayscale transmission, the next protocol will be used. We adopted a configuration to shift.

In this embodiment, the receiver detects resources that can be used for reception processing, and the detected receiver sets the color mode at the time of image transmission in accordance with the detection result of resources that can be used for reception processing. Control.

For example, in the present embodiment, the remaining amount of available memory is detected, and the presence or absence of a color information receiving function and the presence or absence of a receiving function in gray scale mode are determined according to the detected remaining amount of available memory. For example, the presence / absence of the JPEG encoding function and the presence / absence of the full-color reception function are notified to the transmitter.

The notification of the receiving function to the transmitter is transmitted by the ITU
-T Recommendation T. For example, if the communication conforms to 30
This can be performed using the information field of the S / DTC / DCS signal. For example, the ability to receive a SUB signal is declared by bit 49. Transmitter function specification is DC
This is performed by the corresponding bit of the S signal.

The color mode at the time of image transmission is also defined by ITU-
Recommendation T. In the present embodiment, the color mode at the time of image transmission is set to J in order to facilitate the description.
Consider identifying a PEG receive function, a full color receive function, and a grayscale mode.

In practice, ITU-T Recommendation T. In 30,
These color modes are to be represented by a combination of a plurality of bits of the DIS / DTC / DCS signal.

For example, in the DIS / DTC signal, JP
The EG reception function can be notified to the transmitter by the bit 68 and the full color reception function can be notified to the transmitter by the bit 69, and a color mode can be determined by a combination of these. The JPEG and full color mode designations from the transmitter are declared by bits 68 and 69 of the DCS signal, respectively.
Grayscale mode sets bits 69 to 0 and 68 to 1
And the color communication is 68,
Declared by setting both 69 to 1.

In the present embodiment, the processing for determining the color mode according to the result of detecting the usable resources of the receiver is performed as follows.

For example, if there is recording material such as ink or toner but there is no recording paper, and if the available memory capacity is equal to or greater than a predetermined capacity, the transmitter transmits
Notifying that there is a function of receiving a PEG encoded image, and that there is a function of receiving a full color image, while if the available memory capacity is less than a predetermined capacity, the transmitter has no function of receiving a JPEG encoded image, and Notifies that there is no full-color image reception function.

Alternatively, in a state where recording materials such as ink and toner and recording paper are both present,
Once the JPEG encoded image reception function and the full color image reception function are notified, and the memory reception is specified by the transmission side, if the available memory capacity is equal to or more than the predetermined capacity, the next protocol is used. If the available memory capacity is less than the predetermined capacity, transmission of color information or transmission of gray scale is specified,
Again, the transmitter is notified of the absence of the JPEG encoded image reception function and the absence of the full color image reception function, and if neither color information transmission nor grayscale transmission is specified, the process proceeds to the next protocol.

Hereinafter, the operation in the above configuration will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 show the flow of the above communication control as a flowchart. It is assumed that the parts of the same number in FIGS. 2 to 5 are continuous at each position.

In step S2, the memory circuit 18 is initialized via the bus 26, and in step S4, the display of the operation unit 20 is cleared via the bus 26.

In step S6, N
The CML of the CU 2 is turned off, and the line 2a is connected to the telephone 4 side.

In step S8, information of the operation unit 20 is input via the bus 26, and it is determined whether registration to the memory box has been selected. When the registration in the memory box is selected, the process proceeds to step S10, where the memory circuit 18 is controlled via the bus 26, and the registration process is performed on the memory box area allocated to the memory circuit 18. If registration in the memory box has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S10, the user operates the operation unit 20.
In this case, the sub-address “1234” is assigned to the memory box 01 and the confidential reception is registered as the communication specification.

In step S12, it is determined whether or not reception is selected. When reception is selected, step S1 in FIG.
The process proceeds to step S1 if the reception is not selected.
The process proceeds to step S4, where other processing (such as copying of a document image) is performed.

In step S16 of FIG.
It is determined whether or not there is recording paper. If there is recording paper (or if the remaining amount is sufficient), the process proceeds to step S18, and if there is no recording paper (or if the remaining amount is small). The process proceeds to step S44 in FIG.

In step S18, it is determined whether or not there is another recording material of the recording circuit 16, for example, color ink (or toner), and if there is such a recording material (or the remaining amount is sufficient). If any), step S
If the recording material does not exist (or if the remaining amount is very small), the process proceeds to step S20.

In the following, for ease of explanation,
The recording material other than the recording paper of the recording circuit 16 is exemplified by ink.

Further, in step S20, it is determined whether or not there is black ink. If there is black ink (or if the remaining amount is sufficient), the process proceeds to step S22, if not (or if the remaining amount is not enough). If so, the process proceeds to step S44 in FIG.

In the step S22, via the bus 26,
The CML of the NCU 2 is turned on, and the line 2a is connected to the facsimile apparatus (hybrid circuit 6).

In step S24, a pre-facsimile procedure is executed. Here, the transmitter is notified of the JPEG reception function, the full-color reception function, and the SUB (sub-address) signal reception function, and the process proceeds to step S30.

If there is recording paper (step S16) and there is color ink (step S18), step S2 is performed.
Move to 6. In step S26, the CML of the NCU 2 is turned on via the bus 26, and the line 2a is connected to the facsimile apparatus (hybrid circuit 6).

In step S28, a pre-facsimile procedure is executed. Here, the transmitter is notified that it has a JPEG reception function, a full-color reception function, and a SUB signal reception function.

In step S30, confidential reception is designated by a SUB signal designating a memory box (in the case of ITU-T Recommendation T.30, bits of the DCS signal corresponding to bits of the DIS signal are used for function designation. The same applies to the following), and if there is confidential reception designation, FIG.
The process proceeds to step S60, and if there is no confidential reception designation, the process proceeds to step S32.

If there is no confidential reception designation, step S3
In 2, it is determined whether or not there is a JPEG transmission designation from the transmitter, and if there is a JPEG transmission designation, the flow proceeds to step S34. If there is no JPEG transmission designation, the flow advances to step S36 to execute the reception / recording of the monochrome binary information.

If JPEG transmission has been designated, it is determined in step S34 whether or not full color transmission has been designated by the transmitter. If full color transmission has been designated by the transmitter, the flow advances to step S38 to proceed to step S38. If information is received / recorded and full-color transmission is not designated by the transmitter, the process proceeds to step S40, where gray scale information is received / recorded. Then, in step S42, a post-facsimile procedure is executed, and after disconnecting the line, the process returns to step S6.

On the other hand, it is detected in step S16 that there is no recording paper (or the remaining amount is very small), or that there is neither color ink nor black ink in steps S18 and S20 even if there is recording paper. If so, the process proceeds to step S44 in FIG. 4, and the color mode is determined according to the memory capacity (steps S46, S48, S48).
50), perform memory reception.

That is, in step S44 of FIG. 4, the CML of the NCU 2 is turned on via the bus 26 and the line 2a
Is connected to the facsimile apparatus (hybrid circuit 6), and in step S46, the usable memory capacity of the memory circuit 18 is 1 Mbyte or more (other appropriate threshold value determined according to the configuration of the apparatus). It is determined whether or not. If the remaining amount of the memory circuit 18 is 1 Mbyte or more, the process proceeds to step S48. If the remaining amount is less than 1Mbyte, the process proceeds to step S50.

If the remaining capacity of the memory circuit 18 is 1 Mbyte or more, a pre-facsimile procedure is executed in step S48. Here, the transmitter is notified that it has a JPEG reception function, a full-color reception function, and a SUB signal reception function.

On the other hand, if the remaining capacity of the memory circuit 18 is less than 1 Mbyte, a pre-facsimile procedure is executed in step S50. Here, JPEG
It notifies that there is no receiving function, there is no full color receiving function, and there is a SUB signal receiving function. These functions are D
Declared by IS signal.

In step S52, memory reception is performed in the communication mode specified by the transmitter. Here, the transmitter determines and designates the color mode (full color, gray scale, black and white 2
Value, etc.), the memory reception is performed. Also, the confidential reception is detected by referring to the information on whether or not the confidential reception is detected in step S30. If the confidential reception is designated, the confidential reception is performed. Further, in step S54, a post-facsimile procedure is executed.

In step S 56, via the bus 26
The CML of the NCU 2 is turned off, and the line 2a is connected to the telephone 4 (line disconnection).

In step S58, the display unit of the operation unit 20 is controlled via the bus 26 to indicate that there is memory reception, and furthermore, the communication mode (color, gray scale, white, or black binary mode). , And confidential reception information), and then returns to step S6. The display in step S58 is continued until the confidentially received image is recorded and output, and is erased when the confidentially received image is recorded and output.

On the other hand, if confidential reception is designated by the SUB signal designating the memory box in step S30 in FIG. 3, the usable memory capacity of the memory circuit 18 is 1 Mbyte in step S60 in FIG. It is determined whether or not the remaining amount is equal to or more than
If the size is equal to or more than M bytes, the process proceeds to step S52 in FIG.
Proceed to 62.

In step S62, the transmitter sends the JPE
It is determined whether or not the G transmission designation has been performed. If the JPEG transmission designation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S64, and if not, the process proceeds to step S52 in FIG.

In step S64, the pre-facsimile procedure is executed. The process that arrives at step S64 is that confidential reception is designated, but there is no remaining memory and JP
This is the case where EG reception is specified. Therefore, in step S64, the transmitter has no JPEG receiving function,
It notifies that there is no full-color reception function and that there is a SUB signal reception function, and then the process proceeds to step S32 in FIG. In this case, the transmitter sends JP according to the declaration in step S64.
Since neither the EG mode nor the full-color mode is specified, the process shifts from step S32 to S36, and confidential reception is performed in the monochrome binary mode.

As described above, according to the present embodiment,
The receiver detects resources that can be used for reception processing, and the receiver determines a color mode at the time of image transmission according to a detection result of resources that can be used for reception processing.
Color mode at the time of reception according to the recording material such as ink and toner, and the resource status of the device such as the remaining memory,
That is, since each mode for receiving the binary image, the halftone image, and the color image is appropriately selected, it is possible to reliably perform the communication during the execution and the subsequent communication without causing an obstacle such as being impossible. Can communicate.

For example, in a facsimile of the color ink jet system, when facsimile reception is performed in a state where ink is present and there is no recording paper, color reception and gray scale reception are enabled when there is a large available memory capacity for memory reception. If the memory capacity available for memory reception is small, color reception and grayscale reception are invalidated, and control is performed so as to perform reception in black-and-white binary mode. It is possible to reliably receive important facsimile reception without causing an obstacle such as making communication in execution or subsequent communication impossible.

In a facsimile of the color ink jet system, when facsimile reception is selected in a state where both recording paper and ink are present, the first DIS signal notifies the transmitter of the presence of the color reception function and the presence of the gray scale reception function. However, memory reception in gray scale or color mode as specified by the transmitter,
For example, when confidential communication is specified and the available memory capacity on the receiver side is small, the number of receivable images is increased by controlling the transmission of the DIS signal without the color reception function and the gray scale function, It is possible to reliably receive important facsimile reception without causing an obstacle such as making communication being performed or subsequent communication impossible.

In the above description, confidential communication has been exemplified as an example of memory reception. However, the confidential communication of the above embodiment is not limited to memory reception of any other form as long as reception is performed to memory without recording and outputting. Can be replaced by

Although the configuration of the facsimile machine has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied not only to the facsimile machine but also to other types of facsimile machines. For example, according to the present invention, a general-purpose terminal such as a personal computer is externally / internally provided with a fax modem or the like,
The present invention can also be implemented in a configuration in which facsimile communication is performed by software control. In this case, the control program of the present invention is stored and supplied not only in the above-described ROM 24 but also in any computer-readable storage medium such as a hard disk, a floppy (registered trademark) disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, and a memory card. Can be.

Is appropriately selected in accordance with the state of the resources of the receiver, and there is an excellent effect that communication can be reliably performed without causing a failure such as inability to perform communication during execution or subsequent communication.

In particular, when the receiver receives no recording paper, if the available memory capacity is equal to or larger than a predetermined capacity, the receiver notifies the transmitter that it has a function of receiving a JPEG encoded image and a function of receiving a full-color image. On the other hand, if the available memory capacity is less than the predetermined capacity, the transmitter notifies the transmitter that there is no JPEG encoded image receiving function and that the full color image receiving function is not available, or if the receiver is out of recording paper. At the time of reception in a certain state, after once notifying that the reception function of the JPEG encoded image and the reception function of the full color image are available, if the memory reception is designated from the transmitter and the available memory capacity is equal to or more than the predetermined capacity, the next If the available memory capacity is less than the specified capacity, the transmitter specifies color information transmission or grayscale transmission. And the transmitter are notified again that there is no JPEG encoded image reception function and that there is no full color image reception function. On the other hand, if neither color information transmission nor grayscale transmission is specified from the transmitter, the next According to the configuration for shifting to the protocol, the number of receivable images can be increased by using the black and white binary mode when the resources receivable by the receiver are small, which makes it impossible for the communication being executed or subsequent communication. There is an excellent effect that important facsimile reception can be reliably received without causing any troubles such as being enabled.
