Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, which is capable of adding a predetermined level of facsimile to the image signal of a transmitted document supplied at the time of transmission. be.

[Prior art of the invention and its problems]

With conventional facsimile machines, it is difficult for the receiving side to know when the received document was sent, who sent it to whom, and the order in which the document was sent. This has the disadvantage that a person is always present, or the sender has to go to the trouble of creating a cover page, or the sender has to renumber the serial number on each manuscript, which is time-consuming.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to solve such conventional problems and to make it possible to easily add the date, page, sender ID, destination ID, etc.5.

[Examples of invention]

Figure JIII is an outside view of the operation panel in one embodiment of the present invention, where 1 is a part of the numeric keypad for inputting the destination's telephone number, etc., 2 indicates that the sender ID should be added, and The value of the numeric keypad pressed after that is sent to the source I.
Button for instructing to consider it as D number, 3 is same as 11
4 is a button for instructing automatic page number addition, which automatically adds a sequential number each time a sent document is supplied. 5 is a button for adding the current date and time. 6 is a button that instructs where to add these additional information to the document, 7 is a display that displays the position to be added, 8 is the current date and time. 9 is a monitor that displays the telephone number of the destination, 10 is a monitor that displays the sender ID, 11 is a monitor that displays the destination ID, 12 is a monitor that displays the current page number, and 8', 10 ', 1
Reference numerals 1' and 12' are display monitors that indicate the position where each piece of information is added (either ■-○ on the display 7).

I will explain the next KIIJ work. First, the caller presses the sender ID addition button 2 and inputs his or her own ID number using the numeric keypad 1. The number will be displayed on the monitor 10, so check it. Next, press the additional position designation button 6 and select one of the additional positions ■ to ■ using the numeric keys. For example, when the user presses 1111 on the numeric keypad, the device ``■'' on the display 7 lights up, and at the same time 11 is displayed on the monitor 10'. That is, it is instructed that the sender ID should be added to the top center of the page. If you press the destination ID addition button 3 and input using the numeric keypad 1, the contents will be displayed on the monitor IIK, and if you further press the addition position designation button 6 and press the numeric keypad 21, for example, the ■ position on the display 7 will light up. At the same time, 12" is displayed on the monitor 11'. When the k page addition button 4 is pressed, llo" is displayed on the monitor 12. When the designation button 6 is pressed and, for example, 31 is input, 131 is displayed on the monitor 12'. Now, display! ! 7 ■ also lights up.

Furthermore, press the time addition button 5, and press the addition position specification button 6.
When you press and input 4, the monitor 8'K"4" is displayed, and the symbol ■ on the display 7 also lights up.

Next, the user enters the telephone number of the other party using the numeric keypad.The number is displayed on the remote monitor 9. After confirming the number, the user presses a call button (not shown). Once you are able to connect to the other party and can send, you can insert the originals one by one. Each time a document is supplied, the page number on the monitor 2 is updated, and the current time, date, ID, etc. are automatically added and transmitted.

Figure 1g2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and 21
27 is a transport system for the IIA manuscript, 23 is a photoelectric conversion system that scans the surface of the document and converts it into a bright/dark signal, 24 is a control unit for transmitting signals to the line, and 26 is a jlla! Reference numeral 25 denotes an operation knob section indicated by J, a setting section 25 in which additional information set from the panel section and counted page numbers are stored, and 22 a means for detecting the conveyance position of the document.

In the setting section 25, the specified additional position information (■ ~
(corresponding to (2)) and the signal from the lid detection means 22,
The image signal of the information to be added is sent to the transmission control section 24 at a predetermined timing. The transmission 1 control section 24 adds the video signal from the photoelectric conversion section 23 and the video signal from the setting section 25, and then performs appropriate band compression processing. ! i! Send to.

Therefore, if characters were originally written at the specified additional position on the document, the additional information would be received as 1, but since there is generally a margin around the document, this is not much of a problem. .

Alternatively, the above problem can be solved if the needle suppresses the signal from the photoelectric converter 23 when there is an image signal from the setting section 25, and switches between the two.

Furthermore, it is more convenient to press the button so that the above-mentioned overlapping display and swapped display can be arbitrarily selected.

In addition, the various additional information mentioned above is not limited to,
It may be helpful to include other information. Furthermore, it is not necessarily necessary to add all of these, and this does not mean that it is sufficient to add only the necessary ones.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, arbitrary information can be automatically added to an arbitrary position by a simple key operation, so that the operator's labor is reduced. Furthermore, since the additional information is added only electrically and is not processed on the document, it is easy to send the same document in different combinations to different destinations.
