This process processes input information in one format to output information in a different format. For example, when an input document with multiple delivery addresses, product names, quantities, etc. It is like editing and outputting a slip in a format different from the input document.

Therefore, for example, in a facsimile transmission system, if a normal facsimile device is used on the sending side and an editing facsimile device is used on the receiving side, the format of the input sent manuscript on the sending side and the output received edited manuscript on the receiving side will be different. It becomes necessary for the sending side to make a copy of the received edited manuscript and to compare this copy with the input manuscript.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and
The present invention provides a facsimile transmission method that allows a transmitting side to compare an input manuscript and an edited manuscript without any special operations.

According to the present invention, when the receiving facsimile device finishes editing the manuscript, the edited manuscript data is returned to the sending facsimile device, thereby allowing the sending side to compare the input manuscript and the edited manuscript. ing.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments of the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a facsimile transmission system according to the present invention. The sending facsimile device 1 reads an input document and converts it into corresponding input image data, and this input image data is sent to the line 2, exchange 3, and network control together with the sending transmission control signal output by the sending facsimile device 1.

Note that the NCU 4 normally connects the telephone terminal 5 and the exchange 3, and connects the receiving side facsimile device 100 and the exchange 3 when a predetermined control signal is applied.

FIG. 2 shows a transmission control procedure in an embodiment of the facsimile transmission system according to the present invention.

First, a calling station (sending facsimile device 1) and a called station (receiving facsimile device 100)
A call is set up between the two parties. Normally, this call is set up by the operator of the sending facsimile device 1 and the operator of the receiving facsimile device 100 using the telephone terminal 5.

After the call setting is completed, the operation panel 110 is operated to apply a switching control signal to the NCU 4, and the switch 3
and the receiving side facsimile device 100 are connected. When the transmission processing control section 102 confirms that it is connected to the exchange 3 via the NCU 4, it sends the called station identification signal CED to the sending facsimile device 1 and starts the facsimile transmission means. When the sending facsimile device 1 receives the signal CED, it starts a facsimile transmission procedure.

First, the transmission processing control unit 102 sends out a called terminal identification signal CSI following CED, and further outputs transmission function data representing the transmission function possessed by the own station device as a digital identification signal DIS. When the sending facsimile device 1 receives the signals CSI and DIS,
The telephone number data of the own station is outputted to the receiving side facsimile device 100 as the transmitting station identification signal TSI. The transmission processing control section 102 stores this telephone number data in the telephone number memory 10 via the editing processing control section 104.
6.

Next, the sending facsimile device 1 selects one transmission function from the transmission function data and outputs this selected function data to the receiving facsimile device 100 as a digital command signal DCS. As a result, the receiving facsimile device 100 is set to a predetermined transmission mode.

Next, the transmitting facsimile device 1 sends a training check signal (for example, "0" that continues for 1.5 seconds).
signal) TCF is sent to the receiving facsimile device 100. When the receiving facsimile device 100 successfully receives the signal TCF, it sends a reception preparation confirmation signal.
The CFR is sent to the sending facsimile device 1.

Thereafter, the input image data is sent from the sending facsimile device 1 to the receiving facsimile device 100. This input image data is processed by the editing processing control unit 1.
04, the data is converted into edited image data, stored in the image memory 105, and sent to a manuscript output unit (not shown), whereby an output edited manuscript is printed out. When the transmission of the input image data is completed, the sending facsimile device 1 outputs a procedure end signal EOP to restore the call.

The receiving facsimile device 100 receives the signal EOP
When the transmission processing control unit 102 receives the NCU
4 to connect the exchange 3 and the telephone terminal 5. When the editing process control unit 104 finishes editing the manuscript, it applies a read signal to the telephone number memory 106 to read the telephone number data, adds the telephone number data to the automatic dialing unit 107, operates the automatic dialing unit 107, and transmits the data. A call is set up with the side facsimile device 1.

Then, the same procedure as described above is carried out between the sending facsimile device 1 and the receiving facsimile device 100.
Transmission and reception are repeated in reverse order, and the edited manuscript data from the receiving facsimile device 100 is transmitted to the transmitting facsimile device 1.

In this way, the edited manuscript for the receiving facsimile device 100 is obtained by the sending facsimile device 1.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the telephone number of the transmitting station is transmitted by the signal TSI in the facsimile transmission procedure, and the transmitting party's telephone number is thereby stored in the telephone number memory, but the method for storing the transmitting party's telephone number is is not limited to this. For example, when setting up a call between a sending facsimile device and a receiving facsimile device, an operator on the receiving side confirms the sending side's phone number over the phone in advance, and then inputs the sending side's phone number by operating the operation panel 110. The phone number can be stored in memory, or the OMR sheet that is entered into the sender's facsimile machine prior to sending the original can be provided with a field to write the sender's phone number, and the receiver can check the sender's phone number when determining this OMR sheet information. There is also a method of extracting the number data and storing the telephone number data in a telephone number memory.

Now, in the above embodiment, the receiving facsimile machine is equipped with an automatic dialing section, but next, a case will be described in which the receiving facsimile machine is not equipped with an automatic dialing section.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the facsimile transmission system according to the present invention. In addition, since each part is the same as the above-mentioned Example, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected and description is omitted.

FIG. 4 shows a transmission control procedure in another embodiment of the facsimile transmission system according to the present invention.

As in the previous embodiment, a call is first set up, and then input document data is sent from the sending facsimile device 1 to the receiving facsimile device 100. When the sending of the input document data is completed, the sending facsimile device 1 is sure to output a message end signal EOM. Therefore, in this case, the call is not restored, and the sending facsimile device 1 and the receiving facsimile device 10
0 remains connected via line 2.

When the receiving side facsimile device 100 receives the input document data without any abnormality, it sends a message confirmation signal.
The MCF is sent to the sending facsimile device 1.
Further, in the receiving side facsimile device 100, the editing processing control unit 104 converts the input manuscript data into edited manuscript data, and this edited manuscript data is stored in the image memory 105 and output to a manuscript output unit (not shown). The edited manuscript is then printed out.

If the receiving facsimile device 100 has completed the editing operation upon receiving the EOM, the receiving facsimile device 100 outputs a digital identification signal DIS with the transmitter bit set to the transmitting facsimile device 1 in order to operate as a transmitter.
Set to called transmission mode.

When the sending facsimile device 1 receives the signal DIS in which the transmitter bit is set, it prepares to receive the edited manuscript data and sends the digital transmission command signal DTC to the receiving facsimile device 100.
Send to.

The receiving facsimile device 100 receives the signal DTC.
When the signal DCS is received, the signal DCS is sent to the sending facsimile device 1, followed by a training check signal.
The TCF is sent to the sending facsimile device 1.
When the sending facsimile device 1 receives the signal TCF without any abnormality, it sends the signal CFR to the receiving facsimile device 100. After that, the edited manuscript data is transmitted from the receiving facsimile device 100 to the sending facsimile device 1, and the edited manuscript data is sent from the receiving facsimile device 100 to the sending facsimile device 1. When the data transmission is completed, the signal EOP is output, the receiving facsimile device 100 restores the call, and the transmitting facsimile device 1 disconnects from the line.

In this way, the edited manuscript is printed out by the sending facsimile machine.

As explained above, according to the present invention, when an editing facsimile device is used on the receiving side, the edited manuscript is returned to the sending facsimile device, and the input manuscript can be compared with the output edited manuscript on the transmitting side. Therefore, there is an advantage that abnormalities such as reverse insertion, back-up, or overlapping feeding of input documents can be detected immediately.
