Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device capable of communicating color and monochrome images.

[Prior Art] Conventional facsimile machines are configured so that original images at the time of transmission and reception can be made into hard copies on paper using a printer such as a thermal printer, an inkjet printer, or an electrostatic printing printer. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, in the conventional example described above, the A-striped image is output only as a hard copy from the printer, so if you want to check the document read at the time of transmission, it must be output using the printer. However, the disadvantage is that paper is wasted.

Also, when receiving documents, all documents are output from the printer.
This has the disadvantage of wasting paper because unnecessary information is also output.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can visually confirm image information without wasting paper.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a facsimile device capable of communicating color images and black-and-white images, which includes an image display device having a page memory for storing displayed images, and which displays images read by a scanner or received from a partner device. The image is stored in the page memory in the state of a binary raw image and displayed on the display device, and the image is further provided with a control means for printing out the raw image stored in the page memory at the time of this display. shall be.

[Function] According to the present invention, images can be displayed on a display device during transmission, reception, etc., so images can be checked without making hard copies, and paper can be saved.

The received image No. 2 is transferred and the image is stored on the hard disk 111 (S121.5122).

Next, please check 5123 to determine whether you have received the notification of completion of reception.
), the operations from 5102 are repeated until it is received.

If the reception is completed, the recipient number, page number 1 communication mode, and total number of receptions are stored in the reception data area (5124.5125), and the reception operation is ended.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the operation after reception, and explains panel display at the time of reception, panel display after reception, image display, printout, etc.

At the end of the reception operation, the CPU 113 extracts the number of reception communications from the total reception counter of the reception management table 5131
), outputs a display command to the operation panel 114 (5132), and retrieves the partner number, abbreviated page number, and communication mode of the recently received partner information in the reception data area (5133),
The operation panel 114 outputs a display command to (5134), and displays this information (S135).

Also, once the display key and set key are entered.

In order to display an image of the received data currently displayed on the operating panel 114, the CPU 113 sets parameters such as the hard disk reception area and image mode (S140), and calls the "image display" subroutine (5141). ), the image is displayed on the display unit 107.

Next, when a set key is input from the operation panel 114, the operation of 8140 is repeated to display the next page.

Also, when the print key and Next key are input, press C.
In order to output the page of the image corresponding to the reception displayed on the operation panel 114, the PU 113 sets the image area of the hard disk 111, the mode instruction parameters of the decoder 106 and the printer interface 104 (5142), and prints it to the page memory 109. I am trying to determine whether there is a raw image that is the same as the one 514
3) If there is, call the "print page memory" subroutine (S144); if there is not, call the "print" subroutine to output from the hard disk 111 (S145).

This allows printing out page by page.

Also, when the print key and ALL key are input, the CP
In order to output all pages of images corresponding to the received data displayed on the operation panel 114, U113 uses the image area of the hard disk 111 and the decoder 10B.
Then, the mode instruction parameters of the printer interface 104 are set, the "print" subroutine is called (S146.5147), and the process is repeated until all pages of the corresponding reception are completed (3148).

Also, if the page clear key is pressed manually, the CPU 113
5151,515 to clear the page corresponding to the received data displayed on the operation panel 114 from the reception management table.
2) In order to update the page display on the operation panel 114, the number of displayed pages is sent to the operation panel 114 (S153).

.

Then, the image is transferred from the designated area of the hard disk 111, and the raw image decoded in a predetermined mode by the decoder 106 is output from the display control unit 108 to the display unit 107, where one image is displayed (S167, 5168).
At this time, the raw image is also stored in the page memory 114. The CPU 113 ends the process when one page is completed (3169.5170).

Images are transferred from the hard disk 111 and sent to the decoder 10.
At B, the raw image is decoded in a predetermined operation mode, and the raw image is output to the printer 102 via the printer interface 104 to obtain an image.

Then, the CPU 113 ends the process when one page is completed (S187 to S5189).

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the "print page memory" subroutine called in each of the above flowcharts.
Parameters instructing the operation mode of the printer 102 are set in the printer 102, and the printer 102 operates according to the contents.

First, after an area instruction and a read mode are set in the page memory 109 (S191), a parameter mode instruction is output to the printer interface 104 (S19).
2) An operation command is output to the printer interface 104, raw image data is transferred from the page memory 109, and is output to the scanner interface 103 via the printer interface 104 to obtain an image of one page (S193.5194).

Note that in the above embodiment, when transmitting a monochrome image, the color/monochrome conversion unit 202 converts Y from RGB data.
A signal is generated and this is used as black and white data, but instead of generating a Y signal in this way, it is also possible to select any one of RGB data and use it as black and white data. , the color/black-and-white converter 202 is not required, and the circuit configuration of the scanner interface can be simplified. Note that with this configuration, if you want to send a color document in black and white, there is a possibility that you will not be able to obtain a proper black and white image. It is possible to perform processes such as copying a document, creating a black and white document, and re-sending it. However, in reality, such cases are considered to be rare.

Furthermore, as another embodiment, instead of using a hard disk as the image storage memory, a semiconductor memory such as a DRAM or a magneto-optical disk may be used.

It is also possible to eliminate the page memory 109 for storing raw images and to perform all image transfer from the image memory (hard disk).

Furthermore, it is also possible to directly transmit the read image from the CCU without storing the read image in the image memory. Furthermore, when reading a document, it is also possible to store it in the image memory as a binary main document.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, an image can be displayed on a display device when transmitting or receiving, so the image can be checked without making a hard copy, and the paper You can save money.

In addition, when printing out the displayed image when displaying this image, the page memory for the displayed image is accessed and printed out, so processing is faster than when accessing the image memory for image storage. I can,
Furthermore, it is possible to execute the process in parallel with other processes, which has the effect of increasing the efficiency of the process.
