Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain sequential multiple address transmission to different terminating equipments by providing the title system with a data decoding part and a data converting part and converting data into transmitting image data corresponding to the receiving capacity of the terminating equipments. CONSTITUTION:At the time of transmitting data to a terminating equipment, the data decoding part 18 converts transmitting image data stored in an image data storing part 16 into original image data to transfer the image data to the data converting part 13. The data converting part 13 converts the transferred image data into image data corresponding to the recording size, line density, etc., of the terminating equipment. The image data are transferred to a data coding/decoding part 12 and converted into transmitting image data and the data are transmitted to a line 20 through a line control part 14.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sequential broadcast communication system for facsimile apparatuses, and more particularly to a sequential broadcast communication system for facsimile apparatuses having a function of converting transmitted image data.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an example of a sequential broadcast communication system of a conventional facsimile machine.

When performing sequential broadcast communication, the original to be sent is sent to the scanner section 21.
The data is converted into image data by the data encoding/decoding unit 22.
Then, the transmission image data was converted into transmission image data and stored in the image data storage section 25, and the transmission image data was sequentially transmitted to the other party's device via the line control section 26 over the line 20.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the sequential broadcast communication method of the conventional facsimile machine described above, the transmitted image data stored in the image data storage section 25 is transmitted as is, so if the stored transmitted image data is 84 size, image data of A4 size or smaller The disadvantage is that it cannot be sent to a partner device that can only record data.

Furthermore, if the resolution of the transmitted image data stored in the image data storage section 25 is 7.7/am, there is a drawback that it cannot be transmitted to the other party's device which has a recording capacity of 3.85 f/line resolution.

[Means to solve the problem]

The sequential broadcast communication system of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes: a scanner unit that reads a transmission document and outputs image data; an encoding/decoding unit that outputs transmission image data obtained by encoding the image data; The image data storage section has an image data storage section that stores the image data storage section, and a data conversion section that converts the transmission image data stored in the image data storage section according to the recording capability of the other party's device and sends the converted image data.

〔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.

The scanner unit 11 reads a transmitted original, converts it into image data, and outputs the image data. The data encoding/decoding unit 12 outputs transmission image data obtained by encoding image data. The image data storage section 16 stores transmitted image data.

Next, when transmitting to the other party's device, the data decoding section 18
converts the transmission image data stored in the image data storage unit 18 into original image data and transfers it to the data conversion unit 13.

The data converter 13 converts the transferred image data into image data according to the recording capacity such as recording size and linear density of the other device, and furthermore, the data encoder/decoder 1
3 and converted into transmission image data, the line control unit 14
to the line 20 via.

In this way, the transmission image data stored in the image data storage section 16 can be converted by the data decoding section 18 and the data conversion section 13 into transmission image data according to the reception capability of the other party's device, and then transmitted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a data decoding section and a data converting section to convert image data to be transmitted according to the reception capability of the other party's device, thereby making it possible to transmit image data to the other party's device having a different recording paper size or scanning line density. This has the advantage that broadcast transmission can be performed sequentially to devices.
