Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the document re-transmission procedure by using a monitor report to be outputted by every communication. CONSTITUTION:A monitor report preparing section 9 prepares a monitor report with a bar code and a check frame and outputs it to a printer 5. The bar code and the check frame are control elements directing the re-transmission and specifying the page to be re-transmitted. An operation direction detecting section 15 analyzes the bar code of the monitor report and detects the check frame. When the marking is detected in the check frame, it obeys the instruction of the check frame. For example, a call is originated by the dial number obtained from the information of a re-transmission control sheet and the page specified by the check frame is read out from a picture information storage section 16 and retransmitted. The specification of the untransmitted page can be made easy by entering the reduced picture of the untransmitted page in the monitor report.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document transmitting apparatus, and more particularly to a document transmitting apparatus that can easily retransmit a document that has been transmitted once.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In many document transmission apparatuses such as facsimile machines, when a document has been transmitted, a communication result notification sheet (hereinafter referred to as a monitor report) for notifying the communication result is output. In addition, whether or not to output this monitor report can be generally set in advance as needed.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a monitor report output from a conventional facsimile machine. As shown in the figure, the monitor report is printed with the transmission results such as the transmission start time, the end time, and the number of sheets to be transmitted. Therefore,
Whether the transmission was successfully completed by this monitor report,
You can check if there is any untransmitted original.

However, even if it is confirmed by this monitor report that the document has been transmitted to the partner station, the partner station loses or corrupts the received document, and valid information is addressed to the final name. It may not reach people. Also, if it is later found that the necessary information has not reached the destination, the same document needs to be sent again.

By the way, in the case of retransmitting a document once transmitted, it is easy to specify the document to be transmitted and retrieve the telephone number of the partner station if the time has not passed much since the previous transmission. After a lapse of time, it may be difficult to search for the document or the telephone number, and it is too time-consuming to retransmit.

On the other hand, if the document can be specified,
There is a device that can detect the telephone number (dial digit) of the destination from the information on the cover of the document and call the partner station based on this. The facsimile machines described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-81458 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 175363/1989 are examples thereof.

In the former device, the image information of the original whose telephone number is indicated by a bar code is read, the bar code is detected from the image information, it is decoded, and dialing is automatically performed. Is configured. In the latter device, the address and telephone number written in the original are read, and the read telephone number is decoded by the character recognition device and dialed.

[0008]

The above-mentioned conventional device has the following problems. The former device has a problem when image information is read from a manuscript such as a valuable document in which a barcode cannot be written and the image information is transmitted. In this case, the following method is conceivable as a method of creating the first page of the document in which the barcode is written. First 1
One method is to read the image information of this book, combine the read image information with a desired bar code, output it as a hard copy, and use it as the first page of the original. As another method, a method in which a sticker with a bar code is attached to a hard-copy original document to create the first page of the original document can be considered. As described above, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to create the first page of the original by either method.

On the other hand, in the latter device, a character recognition device is indispensable for reading handwritten destination information, which is problematic in terms of device cost. Further, as a problem common to both the former and the latter, both are configured to dial using the destination information described in a part of the manuscript, so even if a part of the manuscript is barcoded or handwritten with the destination information. There is a problem that remains.

Further, although it is possible to recognize from the monitor report whether all the documents have been transmitted or there are untransmitted pages, it has not been possible to determine which page of the document has not been transmitted. Therefore, if even one page is untransmitted, all pages of the document have to be retransmitted unless the other station notifies the untransmitted page by telephone or the like. Further, in the case of re-transmission, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to find the document transmitted earlier.

By the way, the monitor report is usually discarded without being used thereafter after the transmission result can be confirmed. One sheet of recording paper is also used for such information that does not require long-term storage. Has been consumed. In this way, if the monitor report as the information that is not reused and the monitor report as the paper resource that is not reused can be effectively reused, the economic advantage is great.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a document transmitting apparatus which can easily call a partner station by reusing a monitor report at the time of retransmission and can easily identify a retransmitted document.

[0013]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To solve the above problems and to achieve the object, the present invention provides image information storage means for accumulating read image information, retransmission instruction information, transmission result information, and a transmission document. The monitor report creating means for creating a monitor report containing the information indicating the contents of, and the image information identifying means for identifying the monitor report, and when the image information read by the reading device is a monitor report, The image information of the retransmitted document stored in the image information storage means is retransmitted to the other party according to the transmission result information.

Further, according to the present invention, information for identifying an untransmitted page is added to the transmission result information as needed, and a page of an untransmitted document is selected according to a monitor report including the transmission result information. Configured so that it can be retransmitted.

Further, the monitor report created by the monitor report creating means is provided with a check area in which an instruction for resending and an instruction for designating a resending page can be written. It is configured to be able to issue a send instruction and a resend page instruction.

[0016]

According to the present invention having the above structure, the image information once transmitted and stored in the image information storage means can be retransmitted to the other party according to the instruction of the read monitor report.

The calling operation and the designation of the transmission condition (transmission mode) in this re-transmission are automatically executed according to the transmission result described in the monitor report. In addition, when retransmitting, it is possible to clearly instruct which page is retransmitted.

Further, the information for confirming the untransmitted page can be output only when it is desired to specifically know the untransmitted page.

[0019]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the document transmitting apparatus showing the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the reading device 1 reads the image information of the set document. The operation panel 2 has a keyboard, a monitor screen, and the like. When a transmission command is issued by an instruction from the operation panel 2 and a control sheet which will be described later, the image information of the document read by the reading device 1 is compression-encoded by the encoding / decoding device 3, and the line control device ( It is supplied to the NCU / modem) 4 and transmitted to the line.

On the other hand, the image information input from the line is NC
After being decoded by the encoding / decoding device 3 via the U / modem 4, it is supplied to the printer 5 for printing.

The above-mentioned respective constituent elements are the ROM 6 and RA.
C according to the program and control data stored in M7
It is controlled by PU8.

In the document transmitting apparatus of this embodiment, in addition to the above hardware configuration, a monitor report and a non-transmission confirmation report are created according to the programs and control data stored in the ROM 6 and RAM 7, and the monitor report and It has a software function that uses the untransmitted confirmation report as a control sheet to perform the scheduled operation written in this control sheet.

Next, an example of the monitor report will be shown with reference to FIG. In the figure, a monitor report, that is, a control sheet, has an alignment mark 21 written therein, which indicates an origin for determining the position of image information. When the document is obliquely supplied to the reading position of the reading device 1 or the image is distorted, the image is corrected with the alignment mark 21 as a reference. The alignment mark 21 is an L-shaped mark having a predetermined length in the horizontal and vertical directions of the paper of the monitor report so as not to lose the function as the reference point. If it is taken into consideration that the alignment mark 21 does not lose the correction function,
The shape is not limited to this, and other shapes such as a square may be used. Although the alignment marks 21 are provided at the four corners of the monitor report in the present embodiment, the purpose can be almost achieved by only providing the alignment marks 21 at two positions above the monitor report.

A bar code 22 indicating that this monitor report is a control sheet is provided at a predetermined position with reference to the alignment mark 21. By using this monitor report as a control sheet, a plurality of operation instructions can be issued. The alignment mark 2 is used as a check area for a plurality of operation instructions.
Retransmission instruction check frame 23 at the planned position based on 1,
A management information deletion instruction check frame 25 and a retransmitted page instruction check frame 26 are provided.

The retransmit instruction check frame 23 is provided in the reading device 1.
This is a check area for instructing the re-transmission of the transmitted document that has been read by and stored in a predetermined storage unit. Further, the retransmitted page instruction check frame 26 is a check area for instructing that when the first page only needs to be transmitted instead of transmitting all the pages of the document in document retransmission. Further, the management information deletion instruction check frame 25 is a check area for deleting a part of the management information for retransmission and the transmission document stored in the RAM 7 after the transmission operation.

The micro bar code 27 includes identification information for accessing the storage area of the ROM 6 or the RAM 7 corresponding to the monitor report. In the storage area corresponding to the monitor report, image information of the transmitted document, retransmitted destination telephone number, and transmission result information such as transmission mode are stored. These pieces of information are detected and registered as the transmission result in the previous transmission.

Further, in the storage area, each of the check frames 23, 25 based on the alignment mark 21 is used.
Information (coordinates) indicating the position of 26, the check frame 23,
Detection data for detecting the marks written in 25 and 26 are also stored.

The micro bar code 27 is not a conventional bar code in which the bar interval and thickness are changed to represent the code like the bar code 22, but is a mark in which the code is represented by the inclination direction of the bar. ..

The check frames 23, 25, and 26 are used.
Information indicating the location of the transmission, and transmission result information such as the re-transmission destination telephone number and transmission mode information, are stored in the ROM 6 or RAM.
Instead of being stored in 7, the information may be included in the microbar code 27. The storage capacity of the ROM 6 and the RAM 7 can be saved by including these pieces of information in the microbar code and creating the monitor report.

When retransmitting, a copy 25 of the transmitted document is printed on the control sheet so that the content of the transmitted document can be shown and the retransmitted document can be clearly specified. This copy 25 of the transmitted document is, for example, the first of the transmitted document.
It is image information of a page or a part thereof.

Below the copy 25 of the transmitted document, there is provided a communication result column 24 indicating whether or not the transmission has been completed successfully.
In the communication result column 24, the destination telephone number, the transmission date and time,
And the transmission result is printed. The content of the communication result column 25 is not limited to this example, and the name of the destination may be added as appropriate.

Such a monitor report is printed and output by the printer 5 after transmission. When using the monitor report to instruct a predetermined operation, the reading device 1 is caused to read the operation. When the reader 1 reads the micro bar code 27 of the monitor report, the check frame 23 is indirectly or directly based on the information indicated by the micro bar code 27 or the information contained in the micro bar code 27 itself. , 2
The data in 5, 26 are checked and the presence or absence of a mark is analyzed. When a mark is detected in each of the check frames 23, 25, and 26, an operation that is scheduled in advance in the check frame, that is, the retransmitting of the stored document or the deletion of the stored information is instructed. Also, when re-sending the document,
Whether all pages are transmitted or only the first page is transmitted is also determined by the presence or absence of the mark in the check frame 26.

Although the monitor report is configured so as to perform a plurality of operations, it may be a control sheet limited to retransmitting a document, for example. In this case, since the amount of information for accessing the storage area is small, the micro barcode 27 may be omitted by including this information in the barcode 22. Further, in the case of a single function of only retransmission, if the barcode 22 of the monitor report is detected, the operation for retransmission can be started immediately, so that the check boxes 23, 25,
26 may be omitted. Further, the check frames 23 and 26 may be provided and the operation may be limited to only the operation of instructing whether to retransmit only the first page or all the pages. In this way, the number and types of check frames can be set arbitrarily.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flow chart of FIG. Here, the case where only the check frames 23 and 26 are provided as the check frames will be described. In addition, as a pre-stage of the operation shown in FIG.
It is assumed that the document set in the reading device 1 or the monitor report is read and accumulated in the storage area.

In FIG. 4, in step S1, a predetermined amount of image information that has already been stored is read into the work area of the CPU 8. The amount of image information to be read may be any amount of image information in a range where the alignment mark 21, the barcode 22 and the micro barcode 27 can be analyzed.

In step S2, it is determined whether the image information read from the storage area is the image information of the transmission document or the monitor report as the control sheet depending on the presence or absence of the bar code 22. The presence or absence of the bar code 22 is determined by comparing the image data of the planned position (area of the planned range) with the alignment mark 21 as a reference with the bar code data stored in advance in the ROM. Therefore, the detection of the alignment mark 21 is similarly performed prior to the detection of the barcode 22.

If the alignment mark 21 and the bar code 22 are not detected, it is determined that the read document is not a control sheet but a normal transmission document, and the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, a calling operation is performed by a dial number that is separately input, and a normal image information transmitting operation is performed.

On the other hand, if the determination in step S2 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S3, in which skew (diagonal feed) correction and image distortion correction are performed according to the result of reading the alignment mark 21.

In step S4, the micro barcode 2
7 is read, the ROM 6 is searched from the information, and the position information of the check frames 23 and 26 is read. Then, the check frames 23 and 26 are detected based on this position information.

In step S5, it is determined whether or not a mark is written in the check frame 23. If the mark is not entered, the determination in step S5 becomes negative and the process ends. In addition, if the determination in step S5 is negative, a process of displaying an error on the operation panel 2 (step S1
4) may be performed.

When the determination in step S5 is affirmative, that is, when the mark is written in the check frame 23, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the retransmitted telephone number (dial number) of the other party stored at the time of the previous communication is read and a call is made in accordance with the dialed number.
If the line is connected and the determination in step S7 is affirmative,
Go to step S8.

In step S8, it is determined whether or not a mark is written in the check frame 26. If the mark is entered, it is determined that only the first page is retransmitted, and the process proceeds to step S9 to read the image information of the first page of the relevant document stored in the image information storage means. Step S
At 10, the read image information is transmitted.

On the other hand, if no mark is entered in the check frame 26, it is determined that all pages will be retransmitted, and the process proceeds to step S11, in which the image information of the first page of the relevant document stored in the planned storage area is displayed. Read. Step S12
Then, the read image information is transmitted.

In step S13, it is determined whether or not there is an original to be transmitted, and the processes of steps S11 and S12 are continued until the determination in step S13 is negative.
When the determination in step S13 is affirmative, it goes without saying that the image information of the next page is read out, and therefore the counter indicating the page is incremented and the process proceeds to step S11.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, an example of judgment as to whether a mark is entered in the check frame is shown. The figure (a) shows the check frame 23 in which the mark is not written, and the figure (b) shows the check frame 23 in which the mark 27 is written.

When the image data near the check frame is extracted in the main scanning direction (arrow direction), FIG.
"0001100 ... 00011000" in (a), and "0001100 ... 1100 ... 0011" in FIG. 6 (b).
A binary signal of "000" is obtained. If the change from the white data (0) to the black data (1) occurs only twice as shown in FIG. 6A, it is determined that the black data, that is, the mark is not written in the frame. Change in data is 2 as in b)
If it is more than once, it is determined that part of the mark 27 has been detected. Furthermore, when the data that changes as described above is continuous for the expected length in the sub-scanning direction, the presence or absence of the final mark is determined.

Next, as a second embodiment of the present invention, an example in which a reduced image of an untransmitted page is added to a monitor report and a retransmitting operation using the monitor report as a control sheet will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a monitor report to which a reduced image of an untransmitted page is added, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 indicate the same or equivalent portions. This monitor report is an example when there are three untransmitted pages. In this monitor report, the alignment mark 21 has a function of instructing retransmission, and the bar code 22 is omitted. That is, in the second embodiment, when the alignment mark 21 is detected, it is determined that this monitor report is a control sheet for retransmission. Further, the micro bar code 27 has a function equivalent to that of the micro bar code of FIG. 3, though the illustration is simplified.

As shown in the figure, in this monitor report, reduced images 29a, 29b, 29c of untransmitted pages,
And check frames 30a, 30 corresponding to each reduced image
b and 30c are added. Of the untransmitted pages, if a mark is entered in the check frame corresponding to the reduced image of the page desired to be retransmitted and the monitor report is sent to the reading device 1, only the designated page is retransmitted.

Next, the operation of retransmitting the designated page will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. It should be noted that the operation shown here is based on the assumption that the monitor report has been read in order to avoid complexity of the description.

In step S20, check frames 30a, 30b,
30c, and in step S21, check box 30
It is determined whether or not a mark is written in a, 30b or 30c. If no mark is entered in any of the check frames, the determination in step S21 is negative and the process ends.

If the determination in step S21 is affirmative, that is, if any of the check frames 30a, 30b, 30c is marked, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, the number of the page on which the mark is written is stored.

In step S23, the dialed digits stored in the previous communication are read and dialing (call origination) is performed according to the dialed digits. If the line is connected and the determination in step S24 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S25.

In step S25, the image information of the page on which the mark is written is read from the image information storage area in accordance with the page number information stored in step S22. In step S26, the read image information is transmitted. In step S27, it is determined whether or not all the image information of the page in which the mark is written has been transmitted. The processes of steps S25 and S26 are continued until the determination of step S27 is negative.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, the monitor report is provided with a check frame for instructing the untransmitted confirmation report request so that the reduced image of the untransmitted page can be referred to only when necessary.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a monitor report of the third embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a non-transmission confirmation report output using this monitor report as a control sheet. 8 and 9, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 3 and 6 respectively denote the same or equivalent parts.

In FIG. 8, a check box 31 is a mark entry area for printing out an untransmitted confirmation report when necessary. Further, in FIG. 9, check frame 3
Reference numeral 2 is an area for writing instruction marks for retransmitting not only untransmitted pages but also all pages.

The operation of the third embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, as in FIG. 7, the operation on the premise that the monitor report is read is shown in order to avoid complexity of the description.

In FIG. 10, in step S50, the check frames 23 and 31 are searched from the detected information of the micro bar code 27, and in step S51, it is determined whether or not a mark is entered in the check frame 23. .. If the mark is not entered, the determination in step S51 is negative and the process proceeds to step S52.

In step S52, it is determined whether or not a mark is entered in the check frame 31 for requesting printing of an untransmitted confirmation report. If no mark is entered, the process ends. If the check frame 31 has a mark, the process proceeds to step S53, the image information of the untransmitted document is output from the image information storage area to the printer 5, and the untransmitted confirmation report is printed.

When it is determined in step S51 that the mark is not entered in the check frame 23 for the retransmission instruction, the process proceeds to step S54 and the processes up to step S58 are performed. Note that steps S54 to S58 are the same as those in FIG.
Since it is the same as steps S23 to S27 of FIG.

The operation of re-transmitting using the untransmitted confirmation report printed in the above process is performed in the check box 32.
The operation is the same as that of the second embodiment except that it is judged whether or not a mark is written therein and if all the pages of the document are retransmitted when this judgment is affirmative, the description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the functions of the above-described first to third embodiments will be described with reference to the block diagram. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the main functions of this embodiment, and the same symbols as in FIG. 3 indicate the same or equivalent parts.

The image information read by the reading device 1 is stored in the image information storage section 16. This image information is transmitted / received by the transmission / reception control unit 1.
According to the instruction from 0, it is transmitted to the line through the NCU / modem 4. The dialed digit input unit 11 outputs the telephone number of the called party, that is, the dialed digit for calling the called station. The dialed number input unit 11 may generate a dialed number based on a signal keyed in from the operation panel 2, or may be registered in advance based on an abbreviated number (ID) keyed in from the operation panel 2. The dialed digits may be read and output. The image information is transmitted to the partner station called by the dial number.

After the image information is transmitted, the transmission result information such as the dialed number, the transmission mode, and the quality of the transmission result is stored in the transmission result storage section 13, and the monitor report created by the monitor report creation section 9 is printed by the printer 5. Is output to and printed. The monitor report creation unit 9 is based on the data of the transmission result storage unit 13 and the bar code data and the image data of the check frame and the position information (coordinates) stored in the control data storage unit 12 as shown in FIG.
A monitor report as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 is created.

The transmission / reception control unit 10 includes the image information identification unit 1
A transmission instruction is issued according to the identification result of 4. That is, the image information identification unit 14 identifies whether the image information stored in the image information storage unit 16 is for a transmission document or a monitor report. Then, when it is determined that the image information is for a transmission document, the transmission instruction is issued in response to the identification signal s1 output from the image information identification unit 14. Further, the transmission / reception control unit 10 also issues a transmission instruction by the retransmission operation detection signal supplied from the operation instruction detection unit 15.

The operation instruction detecting unit 15 responds to the identification signal s2 output from the image information identifying unit 14 when it is determined that the image information is a monitor report, and the operation instruction included in the monitor report. To detect. That is, according to the barcode data and the image data of the check frame and the coordinate data indicating the position thereof stored in advance in the control data storage unit 12, the analysis of the barcode described in the monitor report and the presence / absence of the mark of the check frame can be performed. Done.

In the operation instruction detection, when the instruction for re-sending is detected, the signal s3 is output and the document stored in the image information storage section 16 is re-sent. In this retransmission, if the operation instruction detection unit 15 detects a page designation for retransmission, only the image information of the designated page is read and transmitted.

Further, in the operation instruction detection, when the print instruction of the untransmitted confirmation report is detected, the detection signal s4 is output to the confirmation report creating section 17. The confirmation report creating unit 17 creates an untransmitted confirmation report that defines untransmitted pages as shown in FIG.
Is output to.

The bar code data, the image data of the check frame, and the coordinate data thereof, which are registered in advance in the control data storage unit 12, are also output to the operation instruction detection unit 15 and the operation instruction shown on the monitor report is displayed. It is used to detect.

The monitor report creation unit 9 and the confirmation report creation unit 17 are means for creating an image of the transmission result based on the transmission result information supplied from the transmission result storage unit 13, and the control data storage unit. It is provided with a means for creating an image of a barcode or a check frame based on the data registered in advance in 12, and an image synthesizing means for synthesizing these images. Furthermore, in order to clarify transmitted documents and untransmitted documents, the image information storage unit 16
A reduced image creating means is provided for reading the image information from and writing the reduced image on the monitor report or the untransmitted confirmation report. Each of the creating means may be selectively provided according to the contents of the monitor report or the untransmitted confirmation report.

Further, in order to save the storage capacity of the RAM 7, when the dialed number of the transmission partner station or the position information of the check frame is included in the micro bar code 27, the transmission result storage unit 13 indicates that The dialed number indicating the telephone number, the position information of the check frame from the control data storage unit 12, the monitor report creation unit 9
Alternatively, it can be configured to be supplied to the confirmation report creating unit 17.

As described above, in the first to third embodiments, the monitor report that can be used as a control sheet for instructing retransmission is output after communication. Therefore,
If a mark is written in the check frame of this monitor report and this is set in the reading device 1, a calling operation is automatically performed, and according to the instruction assigned to the check frame in which the mark is written, the specified page The image information can be retransmitted to a desired destination.

In the above embodiment, an example of the monitor report and the untransmitted confirmation report in which a plurality of check frames are provided for designating the page to be retransmitted has been shown. However, when retransmitting with only one check frame, May be limited to sending all pages.

Although the management information deletion instruction shown in the monitor report of FIG. 3 has not been described in detail, the presence or absence of a mark is detected in this check frame 25 as in the other check frames, and the result is as follows. The control data storage unit 12 and the image information storage unit 16 may be accessed in accordance with the above, and the predetermined information may be deleted.

In the present embodiment, an example in which a check frame is provided as a mark writing place is shown, but the mark writing place is not limited to such a closed frame, but may be represented by a parenthesis, a predetermined point or a figure. May be.
