Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile machine that edits and transmits image information of a captured original.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional Hun-kushimiri devices, when transmitting a document in which part of the text or drawings is replaced in routine work, the rest of the text or drawings are the same, the operator can add, delete, or replace the original document. These documents and drawings were created manually by cutting and pasting, and these original manuscripts were read and sent to the other party's facsimile.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, in the conventional facsimile machine, it is difficult to edit by adding, deleting, or replacing text or drawings of the read manuscript.
! Since the facsimile machine lacked this function and relied on operators to edit the original manuscript manually, &i collections became complicated and it took a long time to actually communicate using the facsimile machine.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and includes the addition of manuscripts,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that can easily delete and replace FA collections and improve the efficiency of routine work.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] In the present invention, image information read from a document is divided into blocks of a predetermined size in both the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction, and each block is associated with a block number. When editing, adding, deleting, or replacing the image information, the image information stored in the image memory to be edited is read out, and the image information specified by the operator's editing instructions, such as replacement instructions input from the operation panel, etc. Based on the desired block number of the movement source and the block number of the movement destination, the image information of the specified movement source block number is moved to the m area of the address corresponding to the specified movement destination block number.

Therefore, the moved block-by-block image information is written into the area of the designated block number, and the image information can be replaced and edited.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings from FIG. 1 to FIG. 8.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, a control unit (CPU) 11 controls each unit based on instructions from an operation panel 12, and first controls scanning of a scanner 13 during a routine task of performing final processing of image information. The scanner 13 scans and captures the original line by line, and the captured image information is stored in the line memory 14. The editing processing unit 15G, i divides the image information stored in the line memory 14 into blocks of a predetermined size based on instructions from the operation panel 12'A11.
do. This division is performed by the operator dividing the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction into three equal parts and four equal parts as shown in FIG. 2, for example. And the minute KIJ t, the block in each block? [(For example, 1°2.3..., 1
2) are stored in the image memory 16 in association with each other. When the image information is stored in the image memory 16, the operator operates the operation panel to specify the block number of the source block to be moved and the block number of the destination block to be replaced. With this designation, the editing processing unit 15 can move the image information of the block specified by the block number of the movement source block [1] to the address area corresponding to the block number of the movement destination block. repeats the above processing operations in response to instructions from the operation panel and edits the information for a predetermined number of documents.
The collected and edited information is transmitted from the transmission unit (NCU) 17 to other facsimile machines.

Next, the process by which the image information of the original read from the scanner 13 is stored in the image memory 16 as a block will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the figure, when an editing and sending start command is issued, the scanner sends 1
Each line of information is read (step 101), and the read image information for one line is stored in the line memory 14 (step 102). For the above image information, the operator determines in advance the dimensions of the document in the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction and the number of blocks to be divided, for example, N in the main scanning direction and M in the sub-scanning direction.
input from the operation panel 12 such as n 1 in the main scanning direction per block.
111. It is automatically recognized as the sub-scanning direction mix and inputted to the a-bundle processing section 15. The editing processing unit 15 selects 1 from the above input value.
Dot policy a for the length of the block in the main scanning direction nrm
i is calculated (step 103). Next, the editing processing unit 15 codes the image information in the line memory 14 for each a dot (step 104), and as shown in FIG. 4, for example, A1. A2, A3, and A1'
,A2',A3' ,...lc3min FJ i'
As shown in FIG. 5, block numbers are assigned and stored in each memory area of the image memory (step 105).

The image storage memory has blocks 1, 2, .
. . , and each block stores the coded A-dot image information in the sub-scanning direction mmrn determined as described above.

88! The processing unit 15 repeats the above operation until all one line is coded (step 106). When the coding for one line is completed, it is determined whether one block of image information has been coded for m1ij1 in the sub-scanning direction (step 106). 107). The image information to be coded here is WJ running.

When the scan mfl is not reached, the process returns to step 101 and the next line is read by the scanner, and the above operation is repeated. When the image information for one block is coded over the mJ scanning direction ms+, the end symbol FF (see FIG. 5) is obtained. ) is stored in the block (step 108), and the above operation is repeated until the end of coding for one page of image information (step 109).

Note that the editing process according to the present invention is not limited to editing within the same file as described above, but may also include the case shown in FIG. 6. Figure 6(a) shows the case where the destination file is edited by moving blocks from a source file that is different from the destination file, and Figure 6(b) shows the case where blocks are moved from a source file that is different from the destination file, and Figure 6(b) is from multiple source files. This is a case where block movement is performed to edit a - destination file, and FIG. 6(C) is a case where block movement is performed from a plurality of destination files to edit a plurality of destination files.

Next, the editing operations in these cases are shown in Figures 7 to ff5.
This will be explained using the drawing in FIG.

The operator uses the operation panel to issue a "replace" instruction to move and copy image information, and then displays the source image information and destination image information for editing as shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b).
), each predetermined sentence (file 1, file 2) is read out. Next, the dimensions of the source file in the main scanning direction and the ifJ scanning direction and the number of divisions are input, and the dimensions of the destination file in the main scanning direction and the nJ scanning direction are also input. For example, if the image information of block 5 of source file 1 (see FIG. 7(a)) is transferred to block 12' of destination file 2 (see FIG. 7(b)), the operator In response to instructions from the facsimile RH, first specify the source file number "1" and block number "5" and give the "Replace" instruction, then the destination file number Pir2J and block number N2'J. In response to the specification of the source block, #2 convergence process automatically determines the size and number of the destination blocks.In other words, the specified destination file is the same as the source file. It is divided at the same ratio as the division ratio in the main scanning direction and the aJ scanning direction, and the number of blocks becomes the same as that of the source file.Also, if the source and destination document sizes are the same, the block sizes are also the same. be the same.

Although the above is an example of "°movement source priority," a "movement destination priority" function is also provided separately so that the operator can select as desired.

Next, the 8-bundle processing unit, in response to the above-mentioned “re-seeding” instruction,
As shown in the figure, image information is read from the memory corresponding to block 5 of file 1, and block 12' of file 2 is read out.
Move and write image information to the memory corresponding to . Therefore, the image information of block 5 of file 1 is output and stored in file 2, as shown in Figure ff19.

Also, if the source document size and destination document size are different, for example, if the source document size is 84 and the destination document size is A4, block 5 of source file 1 is reduced to 81%. After that, it moves to block 12' of the destination file 2. Conversely, if the source document size is smaller than the destination document size, block 5 of the source file 1 is enlarged and moved.

In addition, if there are multiple files to be moved as shown in Section 6@1(b) and (C) and you select "Move source priority", perform the editing operations described above for the first move source file. Do, second? [For the source files after I, after reducing or enlarging the block of the source file to be moved next according to the size of the edited block of the destination file, Editing of the destination file is continued by moving the block to a desired block in the destination file.

Next, the case of adding image information will be explained.

Image information can be added to a predetermined file in two ways: (a) adding page by page; and (b) adding image information block by block. These cases will be explained below.

(a) When adding all the additional pages of page l-th, instead of specifying the block, the addition is done by specifying file 1%Q. First, the operator operates the operation panel and ), specify and read the source file 1 to be added, give an "add" instruction, and specify the destination file 2 to be added next. According to this designation, the 8-bundle processing section moves the image information of file 1 to the memory corresponding to file 2, as shown in FIG. 10(b), and adds the image information to the memory for further processing. Therefore, the added file becomes a long file.

(b) Addition in units of blocks The operator first gives an instruction to "add block" using the operation panel, and selects the move source file 1 and the preset move destination additional board file as shown in Figure 11 ( a
・>, as shown in (b), read and move blocks 4.5 and 7.9 of the source Hoon Il 1 to blocks A, B, C, and E of the additional board file, respectively, using the same method as the replacement. and change the ax.

In addition, blocks D, F, G, H, and I for which the additional board file was not replaced are in a blank state (a state in which their own information has been imported and exported), and when the replacement is completed,
The additional board file is generated as file A shown in FIG. 11(C). Next, the operator specifies the source file A and the destination file 2 shown in FIG. 12 using the same method as when adding files. With this designation, the editing processing section transfers the image information to the file to file 2.
You can move, add, and move in and out.

Next, the case of deleting image information will be explained.

When deleting image information, the operator operates the operation panel to specify the block to be deleted from the file read out for movement (for example, when deleting block 5 of file 1 shown in Figure 8, , File Xuntan “1
” and block number “5”). Then "Delete"
Instructions! I can do it.

In response to this instruction, the &i collection processing unit inserts "0' (self information) or 1" (black information) into the memory corresponding to block 5 of file 1, and stores the image of block 5 as self information or black information. Delete information. Then, the information of the block 5 is moved and written to the memory corresponding to a predetermined area of the file 2 of the movement destination together with the other blocks of the movement source that are desired to be moved.

Note that when deleting the image information described above, if moving between files is not necessary, it is sufficient to specify a block of the file to be deleted and delete only that part.

When transmitting the image information to another facsimile machine, the operator specifies file 'f11'c5, and the facsimile machine reads the image information from the memory of the designated file and transmits it from the transmission section.

Therefore, in the present invention, the editing work of the manuscript is performed by replacing the image information stored in the picture memory, so that the working time can be shortened.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, manuscript editing is performed by moving the predetermined image information of the movement source, which is also specified by the block number, to the predetermined area of the movement destination, which is specified by the block number.
It is possible to easily perform IQ collection work on manuscripts, and it is possible to improve the efficiency of routine work.
