Abstract

PURPOSE:To judge the recording of an original to be re-sent from a page in the course easily at a receiving side by synthesizing character information to mean that the sequel from the page in the course is re-sent with original information to be re-sent at the time of executing the resending from the page to be made abnormal after a completion due to a communication abnormality. CONSTITUTION:The system is composed of an original storing part 1, a page counter 2, a decoding part 3, a sequel display character synthesizing part 4, a decoding part 5, a switching part 6, a communication control part 7, and a re-sending mode storage part 8. At the time of executing the re-sending from the page to be made abnormal after the communication abnormality is generated, the original information to be re-sent which reads the pages after the page stored in the page counter 2 from the original storing part 1 is synthesized with the character information to mean that the sequel of a transmission original is re-sent from the page in the course, and the transmission is executed. Thus, at the receiving side, the recording to be re-sent from the page to generate the abnormal communication can be easily discriminated only by seeing a reception recording.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a document storage type facsimile device, and particularly relates to a facsimile device retransmission method (conventional technique) for retransmitting a document from the middle after a communication error occurs. ) Conventionally, some facsimile machines of this type, when resending after completing a transmission in which a communication error occurred midway, resend from the page where the error occurred; It was sent as is without any processing.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In the retransmission method of the conventional facsimile machine described above, after a communication error occurs, when retransmitting from the page where the error occurred, the retransmitted document is sent without any processing, so the receiving side However, there is a drawback that just by looking at the reception record, it is difficult to determine whether the received record is a record retransmitted from an intermediate page.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate such drawbacks, and to retransmit a document in such a way that the receiving side can determine that the record was retransmitted from the page where the abnormal communication occurred just by looking at the reception record. An object of the present invention is to provide a retransmission method for a facsimile machine that can perform the following steps.

(Failure to Solve the Problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the retransmission method of the facsimile machine of the present invention has the following features:
A document storage section 1 that manages and stores each page and every six transmitted manuscripts, and can read out any page of any transmitted manuscript, and the manuscript information read from the manuscript storage section 1. a character synthesizing means 4 for synthesizing a character indicating retransmission from an intermediate page; and a character synthesizing means 4 for synthesizing a character indicating retransmission from an intermediate page; and a communication abnormality occurring during transmission, and when the abnormality is terminated, storing the page number of the transmitted manuscript transmitted in the abnormal state. The present invention includes a page storage means 2, which allows the character composition function to be performed only when reproducing the transmitted manuscript when the communication abnormality occurs in the character composition means 4, and composition permission means 6, 7.8, which permits the character composition function only when the transmission document is reproduced when the communication abnormality occurs in the character composition means 4. If you want to resend from the page where the error occurred after
The character information that means that the continuation of the transmitted manuscript is being retransmitted from the middle page is synthesized by the character composition means 4 with the document information to be retransmitted, which has been read from the page after the page stored in the page storage means 2. The method is to transmit.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

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

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the original document storage section 1 has stored original information to be transmitted in advance.

Note that the configuration for reading a document and writing document information in the document storage section 1 is omitted.

The page counter 2 is a page storage means that stores the number of pages being transmitted at that time when a communication error occurs during facsimile transmission, and receives the image signal a output from the document storage section 1. Count the number of pages,
Outputs the count value as the start page signal. In addition,
Page color/re2 is the count value =
It has been reset to 1.

The continuation display character synthesis section 4 inputs the image signal a outputted from the document storage section 1 after being decoded by the decoding section 3.
Characters indicating that the page continuing from the intermediate page is to be retransmitted are synthesized and output, and the output is encoded by the encoding section 5 and connected to one contact of the switch 6 as a synthesized signal g.

Another contact of the switch 6 is directly connected to the image signal a output from the document storage section 1.

The switch 6 is switched by the retransmission signal d which is the output of the retransmission mode storage section 8, and the selected output is inputted to the communication control section 7 as the transmission signal e, modulated, and outputted to the communication line.

The retransmission mode storage section 8 enters the retransmission mode in response to the error signal f from the communication control section 7, is reset by the document end signal from the document storage section 1, and enters the non-reproduction mode. During the playback mode, the playback signal d is output and the switch 6
is connected to the composite signal g side.

The communication control unit 7 controls communication with the other party's facsimile machine, and outputs a readout signal C when a transmission operation is started. The document storage section 1 receives the bladder input/output signal C, and since @1 is indicated in the start page signal from the page counter, it reads and retrieves the stored document information from the first page.
Output as image signal a. At this time, the retransmission mode storage section 8 is in the non-retransmission mode, so the retransmission signal d is not output. Therefore, the switch 6 selects the image signal a and outputs it as the transmission signal e. The communication control unit 7 sends the transmission signal e to the other party's facsimile machine (not shown) via the communication line.

When the transmission of one page is completed, the page counter 2 is incremented by "1", and the next page transmission operation is started.

If a communication error occurs during the transmission of the nth page while sequentially transmitting in this way, the value @n'' is set in the page counter 2 at this time.Then, the communication control unit 7
outputs an error signal f and stops the transmission operation. The retransmission mode storage unit 8 that receives the error signal f changes to the retransmission mode and outputs the retransmission signal d. The switch 6 that receives the retransmission signal d switches its contact to the composite signal g side. After this, the communication control unit 7 outputs the read signal C again and starts the write operation. At this time, page counter 2 contains 1n.
” is held, the document storage unit 1 starts reading from the nth page of the document information and outputs it as an image signal.The decoding unit 3 decodes the image signal and outputs the decoded image. As for the signal, characters indicating retransmission of the remaining pages starting from the intermediate page are synthesized in the continuation character synthesis section 4, encoded in the encoding section 5, and outputted as a synthesized signal g.The synthesized signal g is It enters the communication control section 7 as a transmission signal e through the switch 6 and is sent to the other party's facsimile machine.When the document storage section 1 finishes reading out the stored document information, it outputs a document end signal.

Upon receiving the document end signal, the communication control unit 7 ends the transmission operation, and the playback mode storage unit 8 enters the non-playback mode.
The page counter is reset to @1'.

When the retransmission mode storage unit 8 enters the non-retransmission mode, it stops outputting the retransmission signal d, so the contact of the switch 6 switches to the image signal a side.

In this way, the facsimile machine returns to its initial state.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention means that when retransmitting from the page where the abnormality occurred after termination due to a communication error, the continuation from the intermediate page is retransmitted in the document information to be retransmitted. By synthesizing the character information, the receiving side can easily determine that the received record is a record of a document retransmitted from an intermediate page.
