Abstract

PURPOSE:To retransmit only an original of a required page by adding a page number of the original to picture information read from the original, storing the information into a storage section as a synthesis signal and sending the result. CONSTITUTION:An original read section 1 outputs read picture information a in the unit of pages, a page number addition section 2 adds the page number in the unit of pages to the picture information a and outputs a picture signal b and the picture signal b is controlled in the unit of pages and stored in a storage circuit 3. A communication control section 4 sends the picture signal c in the unit of individual pages sequentially to an opposite receiver. After the end of transmission, when the retransmission of only the picture signal b is required, the page number d to be sent again is inputted to a page number input control section 5 and outputs it as a signal e to a retransmission control section 6. The control section 6 reads the picture signal of the page number to be sent again by using the signal f from the circuit 3 and the control section 4 sends it again to an opposite receiver.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile transmitter having a retransmission function.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional facsimile transmitters, it is sometimes necessary to resend the original due to a communication error while sending the original to the recipient's device, or even if the original has already been sent, a page may be missing during the transmission, or the record may be lost due to printer trouble, etc. If a complete document is not output, the sender will need to resend the original. In this case, the sender's operator may need to re-set the document and resend it, or in some cases, the sender's memory may All pages have been retransmitted since then.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When retransmitting from memory, the conventional facsimile transmitter described above cannot retransmit only the necessary pages to be retransmitted. In addition, since the sender and receiver are not aware of the page numbers, for example, when retransmitting the third page, the third page of the main page or the third page of the recording paper received by facsimile may be sent. Since it was unclear whether or not the page was a page, the sender and receiver lacked the advantage of having to manually resend the page.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile transmitter of the present invention includes means for outputting image information read from a document, means for adding a page number of the document to the image information and outputting it as a composite image signal, and a means for outputting the page number of the document as a composite image signal. It has means for accumulating in units, and means for transmitting the accumulated composite image signal according to the page number designated by an operation input.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 1, reference number 1 is a document reading unit that reads the original to be sent, 2 is a page number adding unit that adds a page number to the image information of each page that has been read, and 3 is a page number. 4 is a communication control unit that transmits the image information, and 5 is a page number input control that receives and processes a page number for retransmission input by the operator. Section 6 is a retransmission control section that controls pages to be retransmitted based on the input page number.

The document reading section 1 outputs image information a read from the document page by page. The page number adding section 2 outputs an image signal obtained by adding a page number for each page (page number addition in FIG. 2) to the input image information a. The image signal to which a page number has been added in the page number adding section 2 is controlled in units of one page and stored in the storage circuit 3. As for the internal processing of the storage circuit 3, image signals C are stored in units of page numbers, and upon retransmission, image signals C can be read out in units of individual pages. The communication control unit 4 sequentially transmits the image signal C page by page to the other party's receiver.

As explained above, first, page numbers are added to each page of the transmitted manuscript and sent sequentially, and on the receiving side, page numbers are sequentially added to the leading edge of the receiving recording paper. The image is output.

FIG. 3 is a communication sequence diagram for explaining the operation of this embodiment. In FIG. 3, it is assumed that three pages of original documents are sent in the first transmission, and page numbers 1, 2.3 are printed in sequence at the top of each received recording paper. In this case, assume that pages 1 and 3 are abnormally printed due to an abnormality in the printer, and the sending side retransmits them. Therefore, pages 1 and 3 are the pages to be retransmitted, and the receiving side is notified of the page number to be retransmitted based on the received chart page number, and the transmitting side is notified of the page number to be retransmitted based on the page number. Transmission takes place.

In this way, the operator inputs the page number d to be retransmitted into the page number input control section 5, and the page number d is outputted to the retransmission control section 6 as a signal e.

The retransmission control unit 6 reads out the image signal of the page number to be retransmitted from the storage circuit 3 using the signal f, and transmits the image signal to the communication control unit 4.
retransmits to the other receiver.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, image information read from a document is temporarily stored in a storage unit as a composite image signal with a page number of the document added to it, and then transmitted. By reading out the composite image signal from the storage unit, it is possible to retransmit only the required pages of the original.
