-711 of l FIG. 1 shows the functional components of an integrated communication device. In this state, this device The chairs 10 are of the same type and connected by a single telephone line 12 on the public switched telephone network. suitable for connecting to any other facsimile machine, whether or not ing.

First of all, the subordinate of device 10, which in this example is of type group 3, It is appropriate to describe the traditional facsimile components.

Documents to be transmitted to other facsimile machines are first sent to the optical scanner 14. more readable. This scanner 14 scans each member of the document being read. Sampling data that produces 1,728 picture elements (pixels) per scanned row device 16 (i.e., each pixel is under the control of a black or white color). (can only have a logical value of ``1'' or ``O''). This page typically Optional 100 or 200 lines per inch (approximately) in the scanning direction is scanned and sampled at a resolution of (approximately) 200 lines per inch.

The sampled information in the form of columns is provided to a transmission memory 20. . The data stored in the transmission memory 20 is ready for transmission at any time. Deva The chair 10 is equipped with a stage (shown in Figure 2) as defined in CCITT Recommendation T.30. Set up a facsimile call on the receiving machine according to floors A and B.

This operation is under the control of the operations microprocessor 26. This will be explained in detail below. Once this happens and there is no connection Once compressed, the data is provided to compression device 22 .

Compression device 22 reduces the time it takes to transmit any one page of a document. Modified Huffman ( Modified READ for Huffman) code or 2D code (relative element address) 2D code technology, which has the function of converting data into a dress (dress) code, is also The white sections of the scanned document assume that each page is approximately 85% white. It also provides jump-throughs.

Some facsimile machines offer grayscale encoding of scanned documents. In some cases, the number of bits (e.g. 2) represents one pixel of the document. obtain. Each pixel can then be represented as one of a possible number of intensities.

The output from compression device 22 is compliant with CCITTV, 27-3 or v.29 standards. is the telephone line that carries out transmission along the public switched telephone network to the receiving facsimile machine. A modem 24 already connected to the talking line 12 is supplied with the signal.

Operator interaction with device 10 is controlled by the operations microprocessor. provided by a user interface 25 in communication with 26; This you The user interface 25 typically includes a handset, a dial pushbutton, and a assisted by facsimile machines such as telephone calls, redials, polling, etc. Contains operational facilities for all other functions provided. operation The lens microprocessor 26 communicates with the user through the user interface 25. receives any commands issued by the The transmission status, including the facsimile number and model, can be displayed by the user. It can also be given to the interface 25. operations microprocessor The processor 26 also includes a modem 24, a transmission memory 20, as shown in FIG. and various settings for the receiving memory 3o and floppy disk controller 4o. provides control functions.

Upon receiving the facsimile, the receiving function of the device 10 is executed. reception The data arrives at telephone line 12 via modem 24 where it is transferred to decompression device 28. passed on. This decompression device inserts all blank spaces and Any information needed to establish communication between the fax machine's modem and modem 24. This will remove any timing or framing information. Then uncompress The received data is transferred to the reception memory 30 so that it can be processed there. It will be remembered until

The received information is stored for recording purposes under the control of Operations Microbro Nanatsusa 26. The microprocessor 26 is then routed to the memory 34 for recording purposes. The device 36 provides information line by line to the device 36, which stores the document on the recording medium. Copy documents.

In any transaction to or from device 10, the Setup of the talk call must be done. This setup is For loop 3 facsimile machines, start according to CCITT Recommendation T, 30. . FIG. 2 shows five stages A to E in one facsimile transmission. Stage A is , is the call establishment stage in which a telephone call is made. Then in stage B, the called station (m (acting in separate modes), the group type, speed, resolution, halftone, etc. It responds with a signal indicating its capabilities regarding special capabilities. Synchronization, equalization and other functions There is a training sequence related to performance.

Once the two machines have been trained and have a valid connection, they will be coded. Transmission of the compressed facsimile information takes place as stage C. complete document Once transmitted, the step is entered. If the information was received without errors , control can return to stage B, otherwise stage E is entered and this puts both transmitting and receiving machines on footer.

The functions and transmission/reception of facsimile components as described above are well known and fully understood. has been done.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the existing facilities of a facsimile machine are utilized to Transfer information stored on one floppy disk directly to another floppy disk. It is considered advantageous to be able to transfer data to other sites. Data transmission is at stage C. Based on existing T.30 Recommendation using non-standard file (NSF) functionality. or by CCITT's Research Group VII [for digital transfer]. Digital command signal (DC5), digital identification signal as proposed for (DIS) and digital transmission command (DTC). stomach.

However, it is used by personal computer facsimile cards. Unlike operations, no file name is specified. primitive disk All files residing on will be transferred and copied to the target disk .

Regarding both proposals for the transmission and reception of digital data, T. as mentioned above.

The functions specified in the 30 Recommendations and recent proposals by the Research Group Vllll: It is included herein by reference.

Standard operation using machine 10 for transmission and similar machines for reception In one example of a transmission sequence, the operator determines which disk transmission is to follow. Prepare documentation to show that. At this time, transmission is performed while the document is being transmitted. This will proceed as usual and once the transmission of this document is complete, the operator will A floppy disk drive 38 contains a floppy disk containing files to be transferred. With the disk already installed, click the disk transfer button on the user interface 25. The forward push button must be started. A file in the form of digital data At this time, the file is transferred to the data transmission/reception memory via the floppy disk controller 40. It will be moved to 42. Digital data is transferred from the transmitting/receiving memory 42 to the modem 1. 2 and from there to the receiving machine. Reverse order will be received as well also applies.

This operation is repeated under the control of the operations microprocessor 26. will be carried out. Precise interaction between facsimile and data transfer procedures The details of this section are described below.

The proposed digital transfer (BFT) procedure is a logical encode one file containing its attributes in the form of a binary page equivalent to Ru. This is preferably transmitted using error correction mode (ECM).

Assuming the receiving machine is of the same type as the sending device 10, this The information is received into the modem 24, and at this point the data is transferred to the floppy disk by reversing the procedure. The data is transferred to a floppy disk in the disk drive mechanism 38.

After the digital data transmission has occurred, the receiving machine's floppy disk drive If no floppy disk was installed in the mechanism 38, the floppy disk The disk controller 40 includes an operations microprocessor 26 and, in turn, an operations microprocessor 26. The User Facility 24 requires the User to do so. send a signal that it is. This typically includes an audible and/or visual alarm. and gives the operator some limited time to insert the disc. or else the reception will be terminated.

Similarly, if the receiving machine receives the data as it would for a regular facsimile machine, If it does not have receiving facilities, the transmitting machine must will have some timeout period.

As a result of the digital transfer as described above, all files will be transferred automatically. become. Therefore, in this way, expensive hardware such as personal computers can be No need for software and operators or technicians or compatible communication software Data can be transferred easily.

If the receiving machine is not compatible, this will be explained in step B during the digital initial connection. This will be detected by the follow-up procedure and will be instructed to the operator. this In this case, no data transmission occurs.

Once the digital data transfer is complete, the operator can Other facsimile or data files stored on floppy disks have the opportunity to transmit the file.

Provides digital data transfer in addition to or in place of traditional facsimile transmission The process for doing so will be described in detail below, with particular reference first to FIG.

To initiate a digital transfer, the proposed modified DIS/DTC/D Stage B is input or re-input using the C3 signal. This digital data is Can be coded as a binary page, which in turn can be coded as a binary page Transfer by ECM as a separate piece of facsimile page using tsage procedure be able to.

Specifically, the digital data transfer capability is determined as appropriate within the DIS/DTC frame. Displayed by code. This appropriate code is set within the DCS frame. indicates that the transmitter has one digital to transmit.

If the receiving machine is not compatible, this will be detected by the digital initial connection procedure. and will be displayed to the operator. No data transmission occurs at this time. It doesn't bother me.

Once the digital data has been successfully received, the message is sent following normal protocol steps. A page confirmation (MCF) is sent. If not, CCITT Research Group V The File Diagnostic Message (FDM) signal, as proposed by Sent. Specifying specific error types regarding receiving disk status You can also do it.

After this procedure, control can then pass to stage B, where the next digital data transfer Or continue with fax. In this case, the process This will continue until all files have been transferred.

Digital data transfer due to the binary encoded nature of files and their attributes The procedure is not limited to any particular disk format, and is compatible with IBM's Although a compatible disc format is usually provided, - according to a variant, Equipped with any disk drive and control device compatible with the user's requirements. can be done.

Once all data has been transferred from the sending machine to the receiving machine, the sending and receiving The harpoon 42 becomes empty. In one case, any further data or files Assuming that no kushimiri is also scheduled to be sent, a step-by-step process is performed. Other cases In this case, step E is entered immediately and thus further data or faxes are sent. Does not provide an opportunity to transmit mm.

Digital data transfer based on the modified DIS/DTC/DC5 proposal Equivalently occurring from either stage or stage B begins stage C.

A variation on the procedure for digital transfer described above is to use of NSF frames to indicate non-standard procedures for the purpose of initiating data transfers; can also be adopted. This is in accordance with the current T.30 Recommendation.

Figure 4 shows the transmitting machine (calling unit) in a non-standard operation sequence. →j of the code exchanged between the receiving machine and the receiving machine (called unit).

The illustrated sequence begins with the beginning of phase B and the calling and called units. represents each signal transferred between the two.

Non-standard facilities can be utilized as shown and this is If the Perations Micro-Blowers 26 is used to initiate digital data transfer. control.

Modified DIS/DTC/DC5 in NSF/NSSS order/N3 description as above has the same effect.

The embodiments described above provide data and document files that provide ease of use for operators. It has the advantage of providing a comprehensive facsimile transmission system. In addition, the operator It is not necessary to have any special technical ability or expertise; it is simply a floppy disk drive. Insert a floppy disk into the drive mechanism 38, and optionally send a facsimile Suitable to operate on document transmission or binary data file transmission or indeed a combination of both. All that is needed is to start the correct push button sequence.

Another embodiment provides signaling associated with the proposed disk transfer protocol. Relates to modified personal computer facsimile cards that utilize . In this case, the personal computer works with an existing standalone fax machine. try A personal computer simply sends a digital transport signal and detects At this point, the user is not allowed to transmit digital data. or prompt you to insert a disc for either reception. This feature can be obtained by modifying the operational software.

Two further embodiments are as follows.

(1) Using the fax protocol for digital data transfer as described above contains only the disk drive, modem, and controller; No fax machine or printer, does not work with existing fax machine1, fax machine does not work A standalone device that can send and receive files on a computer. This machine is a fax machine, Nokuichisonal using transfer capabilities and proposed standard digital data transfer procedures For the purpose of disk transfer in a form compatible with computer facsimile cards. Megokonomi is used.
