The data on the part 7 are stored in a transmitting original memory part 8 for transmission. Then the data on the part 8 are compressed at a compressing part 10 and modulated at a MODEM part 11 for transmission. The data on the part 8 are printed at a printing part 2 to secure a copy of the transmitting original.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and more particularly to a device for editing a transmission original and transmitting it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a facsimile machine cannot edit a document to be transmitted, and can only add a simple message or the like to the beginning or end of a sentence. When a manuscript is edited, it takes time and labor to copy the manuscript with a copying machine and cut and paste copy paper to create a transmission manuscript, which requires a copying machine.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. A memory section is provided to edit and send an original.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a reading unit for reading a document, a plurality of document memory units for storing the read documents, and a memory for data stored in the document memory unit. An input unit for designating an area, an edit memory unit for storing data for editing data in a memory region designated by the input unit, a display unit for displaying data of the original memory unit and the edit memory unit, and the edit memory A transmission document memory section for storing the data of the copy section, a printing section for printing the data of the transmission document memory section,
A compression unit for compressing the data of the transmission document memory unit for transmission, a modem unit for modulating the data compressed by the compression unit, the reading unit, a document memory unit,
A facsimile apparatus with an editing function, which comprises a control unit for controlling an input unit, an editing memory unit, a display unit, a transmission document memory unit, a printing unit and a compression unit.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the document is read by the reading unit and stored in the document memory unit. The memory area of the data stored in the document memory section is designated by the input section and stored in the editing memory section for editing. The data in the editing memory unit is stored in the transmission document memory unit for transmission. Then, the data in the transmission document memory section is compressed by the compression section, modulated by the modem section and transmitted. The printing unit prints the data in the transmission original memory unit to keep a copy of the transmission original.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus with an editing function of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of a memory area of the facsimile apparatus with an editing function of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes a reading unit which converts a document into read image data. Reference numerals 3 and 4 denote first and second document memory sections, and a reading section 5
The data of the plurality of originals read in step 3 is stored in each memory unit. An input unit 6 designates a memory area for the data stored in the first and second document memory units 3 and 4. An edit memory unit 7 stores data for editing the data in the memory area designated by the input unit 6. A transmission document memory unit 8 stores the data in the editing memory unit 7 that has been edited to send the edited data. 1 is a display unit,
Display the data in the second document memory sections 3 and 4 and the edit memory section 7. A printing unit 2 prints out the data in the transmission document memory unit 8 to keep a copy of the edited transmission data. A compression unit 10 compresses the data in the transmission document memory unit 8 for transmission. 11 is a modem section, which is a compression section 1.
The data compressed with 0 is modulated and transmitted. Reference numeral 12 is a line, to which a facsimile machine of the other party is connected although not shown. Reference numeral 9 denotes a control unit, which is the first document memory unit 3, the second document memory unit 4, the reading unit 5, the editing memory unit 7, the transmission document memory unit 8, the display unit 1, the input unit 6, the printing unit 2, and the compression unit. Control 10 2A and 2B are views of the memory area of the facsimile apparatus with an editing function. FIG. 2A is a memory area view of the first document memory section 3, FIG. 3 is a memory area diagram of a memory unit 7. FIG. In FIG. 2A, reference numerals 15 and 16 represent image data in which a document on which a document is written is read by the reading unit 5 and written in the memory area of the first document memory unit 3. FIG. 2B shows image data 17 in which a document on which a map is written is read by the reading unit 5 and written in the memory area of the second document memory unit 4. In FIG. 2C, the image data 15 of the document is stored in the memory area diagram of the editing memory unit 7, the image data 17 of the map is stored next, and the image data 16 of the document is stored finally.

In the above arrangement, the document in which the document is written is read by the reading unit 5 and stored in the first document memory unit 3. When storing, the read data is stored in the first document memory unit 3 as it is. If the reading unit 5 reads the manuscript on which the map is written, it is stored in the second manuscript memory unit 4. The input section 6 is operated to read out and display the first original memory section 3 on the display section 1. If the display unit is not a display unit for displaying one page but a display unit for several lines, scrolling may be performed to sequentially display the entire screen. Then, move the cursor to the beginning and end of the document you want to edit and specify the range of the document (the data stored in the first and second document memory units 3 and 4 can be stored as read data). Since the stored data read out on the display unit 1 has the same format as the original document), the order in which the first document and the second document are to be edited is designated. The designated data is, for example, the image data 15 in FIG. 2A is the first document and the image data 16 is the third document. Next, the input unit 6 is operated to read the second document memory unit 4 on the display unit 1 and display it. Then, move the cursor to the beginning and end of the document you want to edit and specify the order you want to edit. The specified data is, for example,
The image data 17 in FIG. 2B becomes the second document.
When the editing work is performed in this way, the edited data is stored in the editing memory unit 7. For example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the first image data 15 is described first, and then the second image data 17 is written. Second listed and finally third
The image data 16 is described. If a copy of the transmission data is required, the data in the editing memory unit 7 is transferred to the transmission document memory unit 8 and the printing unit 2 prints out the copy. When the operation section of the input section 6 is operated to send an edited sentence, the data in the transmission document memory section 8 is compressed by the compression section 10, and the modem section 1
1 modulated and transmitted over line 12. In addition, when editing a plurality of sheets, it is possible by providing a plurality of editing memory units 7. If the edit memory unit 7 stores compressed data, the memory capacity can be reduced.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the data can be edited by the facsimile apparatus, it is possible to save the labor of cutting and pasting the original as in the prior art.
