Abstract

PURPOSE: To reduce the trouble of the rearranging work of pages on a reception terminal-side by executing page last-come-first-served transmission on a transmission terminal-side. CONSTITUTION: An operation is started by the original accumulation request of an operator. At first, whether an original exists or not is judged. When it exists, whether page last-come-first-served transmission designation exists or not is judged. When it exists, an original read processing accompanied by page last-come-first-served transmission is executed. When page last-come-first- served transmission designation does not exist, the regular original read processing is executed. An original transmission processing is executed after the regular original read processing is executed. Whether page last-come-first- served transmission designation exists or not is judged according to whether it is previously recognized by a one touch dial or an abbreviated dial or whether page last-come-first-served transmission designation is executed by a private key at the time of transmission.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication device having a function of transmitting a SUB signal, which is a T30 frame according to the ITU-T recommendation, to a line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional facsimile communication, when a document received on a facsimile receiving terminal side cannot be output in page order, an operator on the receiving terminal side needs to rearrange the pages of the received document, which is particularly large. When receiving a page, it took a lot of time to sort the pages.

[0003]

Therefore, if the facsimile receiving terminal does not have the page order output function as described above, or even if the receiving terminal has the page order output function, all the received originals are temporarily stored. When receiving more originals than the memory capacity necessary for the temporary storage and rearrangement, the operator on the receiving terminal side needs to rearrange the pages of the received originals.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication device which can reduce the trouble of rearranging pages on the receiving terminal side.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a communication device having a function of transmitting a SUB signal, which is a T30 frame according to the ITU-T recommendation, to a line, a function of outputting manuscripts received by a partner receiving terminal in page order is provided. Storage means for storing the other party's capability indicating the presence or absence and the destination number, reading means for reading the other party's capability and the destination number from the storage means, and the other party's capability from the storage means when transmitting a document. And the destination number, or whether to perform resetting by the operator, selection means, original transmission means for transmitting originals in the reverse order of the read page, and character strings corresponding to the transmitted originals. A character string setting means for setting the SUB signal, and setting the transmission page number in the SUB signal.

[0006]

According to the present invention, all the transmission originals are accumulated on the side of the transmission terminal and transmitted from the last page, so that the page output at the reception terminal is realized. However, since the page numbers described in the header added by the receiving terminal are given in the order in which the originals are received, the page numbers are in the reverse order. Therefore, the total number of originals to be transmitted and the transmission page number are transmitted using a subaddress signal composed of 20-digit numbers. on the other hand,
On the receiving terminal side, the page number in the sub-address signal is written in the header of the received document.

And

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation at the time of original transmission on the transmitting terminal side in this embodiment.

First, in response to an operator request for document storage,
The operation of FIG. 2 is activated (S1). First, it is determined whether or not there is a transmission document (S2). If it is present, the determination of S3 is performed, and if it is not present, the determination of S2 is repeated.

In S3, it is judged whether or not there is a page reverse order transmission designation. If there is, a document reading process accompanied by page reverse order transmission is carried out in S4.

If there is no page reverse order transmission designation in S3, normal document reading processing (S9) is performed. Then, after the normal document reading process is performed, the document transmitting process (S8) is performed.

Whether or not the page reverse order transmission is designated is determined by whether it is preset in the one-touch dial or the speed dial, or when the page reverse order transmission is designated by a dedicated key at the time of transmission. .

After the document reading process (S4) is performed, it is determined whether or not the memory remains (S5).
It is determined whether or not the document has been read (S6), and if there is no document reading, the normal document reading process (S9) is performed. Then, after the normal document reading process is performed, the document transmitting process (S8) is performed.

Further, it is determined whether the document reading is completed (S6),
If the reading is not completed, the process returns to the document reading process (S4). When the reading is completed, the process of setting the transmission start page in the SUB signal (S7) is performed.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of using the SUB frame in this embodiment. The setting for the SUB frame is performed by setting the total number of transmitted pages (S30) counted in S6,
Number of pages to start transmission for specifying reverse page transmission (S
31). The total number of transmitted pages uses the upper 3 digits of the SUB frame, and the number of transmission start pages uses the lower 3 digits of the SUB frame. The remaining 14 digits of the SUB frame are filled with "0" (hatched portion in FIG. 4).

When the page reverse order transmission is designated, it is necessary that the total number of transmitted pages (S30) and the number of transmission start pages (S31) take the same value of 2 or more. In other cases, the document is received. On the side is not processed as a page reverse transmission. However, when the total transmission page number (S30) and the transmission start page number (S31) have different values, the document receiving side records the transmission start page number in the header of the received document as it is.

Next, after the document transmission process (S8) is performed,
A termination process (S10) is performed.

Next, FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation at the time of receiving the original document on the receiving terminal side in this embodiment.

First, the operation of FIG. 3 is activated in response to a document reception request (S20). First, it is determined whether or not the SUB signal is received (S21). If not received, the page number added to the header is set in the order of the received document in S25, and the document receiving process is performed in S24.

If a SUB signal is received, it is determined in S22 whether or not there is a page number in the SUB signal. If there is a page number, the page number added to the header is set from the last page (S23), and in S24. Performs document reception processing.

The SUB frame is analyzed by the total number of transmission pages counted in S6 (S30) and the number of transmission start pages for designating reverse page transmission (S31). The total number of transmission pages is the upper 3 digits of the SUB frame, and the number of transmission start pages is the lower 3 digits of the SUB frame.
Take out the digit. The remaining 14 digits of the SUB frame are "0"
Otherwise (hatched portion in FIG. 4), the total number of transmitted pages and the number of transmission start pages are not recognized.

When the page reverse order transmission is designated, it is necessary that the total number of transmitted pages (S30) and the transmission start page number (S31) have the same value of 2 or more. In other cases, the page reverse order reception is performed. does not process. However, when the total transmission page number (S30) and the transmission start page number (S31) have different values, the transmission start page number is recorded as it is in the header of the received document.

After the document receiving process (S24) is performed, the ending process is performed (S26).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the case where the receiving terminal side does not have the page-order output function or when the number of originals larger than the required memory capacity for rearranging the pages is received, By accumulating all the transmission originals on the transmission terminal side and transmitting from the last page, page-order output at the reception terminal is realized.

As a result, the work of rearranging the pages of the received original document becomes unnecessary. When a large number of pages are received, the operator does not need to spend much time reordering the pages manually.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention,
By performing the page reverse transmission on the transmitting terminal side, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the time and effort of the page rearranging work on the receiving terminal side.
