Abstract

PURPOSE:To save expendables such as recording paper and ink sheet and to reduce the running cost by displaying a picture data stored in a memory section onto a display section at the automatic incoming call, discriminating it by the observance of the operator and recording and outputting only required picture data from a recording print section. CONSTITUTION:When an automatic incoming call reaches, the incoming operation is started, a picture data is stored in a memory section 7 and a data number 1 is added. Similarly in the case of automatic incoming call again, the picture data is stored in the memory section 7 by one communication data and a data number 2 is added. The similar operation is repeated from a command of display recording print comes from an operation section 9, and a data number (n) is added to the n-th communication picture data and the result is stored in the memory section 7. Then the operator outputs and displays the picture data corresponding to the data number commanded by the operation section 9 from the memory section 7 via a switch section 6. The operator observes the displayed content and discriminates it and inputs the permission of the printing to the operation section 9 as required.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile receiving device, and more particularly to a facsimile receiving device having a memory receiving function.

Conventional technology Conventionally, when this type of facsimile receiving device sets the automatic call receiving function, it stores in its memory the image data that is sent each time it receives a call from the other party's facsimile machine and starts the automatic call receiving operation. to complete the communication.

Thereafter, when the operator instructs a recording/printing operation from the operating section, all the image data stored in the memory section is recorded and outputted by the recording/printing section.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned conventional facsimile receiving device cannot record and print all the accumulated image data when the operator instructs the operation because the operator cannot check the image data that has been stored before printing. do. Therefore, in order to record and print unnecessary data unilaterally transmitted from the other party, recording paper, ink sheets, etc. are consumed more than necessary, and there is a drawback that running costs are incurred.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation,
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new facsimile receiving device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional technology and that makes it possible to suppress the consumption of recording paper, ink sheets, etc. to the necessary minimum. There it is.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above objects, the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention includes a memory section for storing image data received from a line, and a display capable of displaying the stored image data for each communication minute. 5, a recording and printing section that records stored image data, an operation section that inputs operator instructions, a control section that receives the output from the operation section and controls the operation, and a memory based on the instructions from the control section. and a switching section that connects the output of the section to the display section or the recording/printing section.

EXAMPLE 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, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the flow of the operation of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, when a call is automatically received, both signals from the line are decoded by the modem unit 4 via the network control unit 5 and converted into 9-picture data. The image processing unit 3 stores the image data for one communication in the memory unit 7. At this time, the data number 1'' is added to the image data of the - communication. When the reception of the image signal is completed, the network control unit 5 connects the line to l1.
ft L, end communication. Next, when a call is automatically received again, the image data for one communication is stored in the memory section 7 in the same way.
The data number "2°" is added to the image data, and the communication is terminated. When the automatic update is performed n times in this manner, image data for n communications from data numbers °I'' to n' are stored in the memory section 7.

On the other hand, when the operator inputs information to the operation section 9, the control section 8 sets the switching section 6 to the °a'' position and displays the image data stored in the memory section 7 on the display section 1. When there is an instruction to print records through the control section 9, the control section 8
In this case, the switching unit 6 is installed in the °h position, and the memory unit 7 is
The image data stored fIt is caused to be recorded and printed by the recording/printing section 2.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 2, when a call is automatically received, the call receiving operation is started, one-stroke data is stored in the memory section 7, and a data number '1' is added. Next, when a call is automatically received again, the image data for one communication is similarly stored in the memory section 7, and data #2 is added. The same process is repeated until an instruction to print the display record is received from the operation section 9, and the data number 1 is added to the image data of the communication port and stored in the memory section 7. After that, the operator
The image data corresponding to the data number specified via the memory section 7 is transferred from the memory section 7 via the switching section 6 through 1. -C Output and display on display section 1. The operator makes a judgment by looking at the contents of the table, and inputs permission for the printing operation into the operation section 9 if necessary.

The control unit 8 outputs the output of the operation unit 9! , 11m , , l: determines that it is a printing operation, controls the switching unit 6,'))

After the operation is completed, both recorded data are stored in the memory section 7 or 1'). On the other hand, the operator looked at the displayed content and decided it was unnecessary #"4
If the user inputs the prohibition of the Ep character operation to the operation unit 9, the control unit 8 determines the inhibition of the printing operation based on the output of the operation unit 9, and erases the displayed image data from the memory unit 7. do.

Next, if there is image data in the memory section 7, the image data corresponding to the data number specified by the operator via the operation section 9 is transferred from the memory section 7 to the display section via the switching section 6. 1
output and display it. Repeat the same steps below,
When both data stored in the memory section 7 are used up, the operation ends. In this way, the operator records and prints only the closing image data as deemed necessary and outputs it.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, when a call is received, the picture taken stored in the memory section is displayed on the indicator section, and the operator sees this and makes a judgment, and records only the necessary rain data. By recording and outputting in the printing section, there is no need to record or print unnecessary information compared to conventional devices, and it can be printed on recording paper, printing paper, etc.
etc. consumption can be saved, and the runnifuguni 1 puto is pressed low,
You can get the effect of being able to do something.
