Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the processing handling facsimile communication by providing a means sending a facsimile picture and a means receiving a facsimile picture and incorporating them to a terminal equipment other than a facsimile equipment. CONSTITUTION:A data inputted by an encoding picture input means 1 is stored in a transmission buffer 3. Similarly, a data received by a communication control section 6 via a MODEM/NCU 7 is stored in a reception buffer 5. The stored data is outputted by an encoding picture data output means 2. Similarly, a signal is sent from the communication control section 6 via the MODEM/NCU 7. The functions a above are managed by a terminal equipment control section 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image processing device, and in particular, it is capable of transmitting input facsimile image information to a line, or conversely outputting facsimile image information received from a line. The present invention relates to a terminal device that is capable of transmitting and receiving facsimile images.

Conventional technology Conventionally, image reports sent and received between facsimile machines are
Communication was based on the communication protocol specified in CI TT Recommendation T.30, and there was no communication procedure for communicating with other terminals.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, terminals other than facsimile machines do not have means for transmitting and receiving facsimile image information through lines, so it is difficult to utilize the image information of facsimile machines, which have become popular as office automation equipment. There is a drawback that it is not possible. Furthermore, among facsimile machines themselves, there are only a few models that have the ability to send and receive image information on their own terminals using procedures other than CCITT Recommendation T and Recommendation Basic Communication Standards. There were major constraints when building a network.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation,
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel terminal device that 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, a terminal device according to the present invention having a function of transmitting and receiving facsimile images includes (a) encoded facsimile image data input means, and (b) the above-mentioned ( al
(C) a terminal control unit that manages the entire system within the device; and (d) a terminal control unit that receives the image data stored in the transmission buffer and controls the terminal. A means for outputting the image data to the modem and the NCU in order to send it to a destination instructed by the section, a means for controlling the transmission, and a means for controlling reception based on notification from the modem and the NCU section, and a means for controlling the reception based on notifications from the modem and the NCU section; a communication control unit having means for writing into the take-back reception buffer and means for notifying the terminal control unit; (e) making a call based on a designation from the communication control unit, modulating the image data, and transmitting the modulated image data to the line; and a modem and an NCU section having means for notifying the communication control section after receiving a call from the line side, demodulating image data, and outputting it to the reception buffer.

(f) a reception buffer as means for storing the received image data in the above (el); and (g) encoded image data output means as means for outputting the encoded image data stored in the reception buffer. It is composed of:

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, data input by encoded image data input means 1 is stored in a transmission buffer 3. Similarly, data received by the communication control section 6 via the modem/NCU 7 is stored in the reception buffer 5. The stored data is output by encoded image data output means 2. Similarly, it is transmitted by the communication control unit 6 via the modem/NCUT. These functions are managed by the terminal control unit 4.

FIG. 2 is a more specific block diagram of the above embodiment. Here, a personal computer as a terminal device includes a scanner 8, a CRT printer 9, and a magnetic disk IO.
The transmission buffer 3 and reception buffer 5 in FIG. 1, which shows an example in which a modem/NCU 7 is connected, are collectively referred to as a magnetic disk 10. The terminal control section 4 and the communication control section 6 are realized by software on a personal computer. Referring to FIG. 2, the data read from the scanner 8 at the request of the operator is
The data is encoded using TT Recommendation T, Recommendation <MH encoding and stored on the magnetic disk 10. Similarly, data received according to the CCITT Recommendation T, Recommendation Based <G3 procedure is also stored on the magnetic disk 10. If requested by the operator or if automatic output has been set in advance, the data stored on the magnetic disk 10 is decoded and output to the CRT or printer 9. Further, the data stored in the magnetic disk 10 is transmitted in accordance with the CCITT Recommendation T, Recommendation Based <G3 procedure, in the same way as in the case of reception, at the request of the operator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described in detail, the present invention includes means for transmitting a facsimile image and means for receiving a facsimile image, and is provided with a means for transmitting a facsimile image and a means for receiving a facsimile image. By incorporating it into a terminal device, an effect can be obtained in which processing for handling facsimile communication can be facilitated.
