Abstract

PURPOSE:To deliver a multiple address original surely and quickly, by transmitting an address designating a recipient of the multiple address original at each address terminal in addition to the original. CONSTITUTION:The user of the multiple address device selects a terminal user to be a recipient of the multiple address original out of a terminal user list displayed on a CRT display 5 with an operating panel 4 and forms an address file in a floppy disc 6. When the forming of the address file is finished, the multiple address original is read in an original reading section 1 and the original is encoded and stored in a memory 3. When the reading of the original is finished, a control section 11 reads out the address file from a floppy disc 6, referes to the managing table and gives the telephone number of the address terminal to a communication control section 9. The section 9 performs automatic calling according to this telephone number and makes connection with the address terminal. When the connection is finished, the transmission is performed in the order of a user name character and the original from the memory 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a broadcast communication system in which the same manuscript (hereinafter referred to as a broadcast manuscript) is transmitted to a plurality of terminals.

In this type of conventional broadcast communication system, it was not possible to send to each destination terminal an address that would identify the recipients of the circular manuscript at those terminals, so the destination terminals that received the broadcast manuscript were When used by a person, the destination terminal does not know the recipient of the received document, so the received document must be circulated. The purpose of this invention is to provide a broadcast communication method that can add an address for specifying the recipient of a circular manuscript at each destination terminal to the circular manuscript and send it.

The present invention will be explained in more detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to broadcast facsimile communication by a sequential broadcast device. Reference numeral 1 denotes a manuscript reading section that reads a manuscript; 2 denotes an encoder that encodes image information output from the manuscript reading section 1; and 3 stores encoded image information output from the encoder 2. This is image information memory.

4 is an operation panel consisting of a tablet and keyboard for kanji and kana characters, 5 is a CRT display, 6 is a Freonby disk, 7 is a character generator for kanji and kana characters, and 8 is a character pattern output from the character generator 7. This is an encoder that encodes . 9 is a communication control unit that controls communication with each destination terminal;
1o is a line, and 11 is a control unit connected to blocks 4 to 7 and 9, etc.

In this embodiment, the broadcasting device user stores a management table for each destination terminal on the floppy disk 6 using the operation panel 4 and the CRT display 6 when the broadcasting device is opened. Figure 2 shows the contents of the management table, which includes the terminal number (a number assigned to each destination terminal), the telephone number of the destination terminal, and each list of users of the terminal (hereinafter referred to as , terminal user list) are compiled for each destination terminal.

Here, in this FyJME document, the user refers to not only the name of the user of each destination terminal, but also the name of the department to which the user belongs, the code assigned to the user, etc. It contains all the information that will help you identify the person.

Further, a user number is attached to each user name in the terminal user list (in FIG. 2, this user number is attached to the beginning of the user name).

Therefore, by specifying the terminal number and the user number, each user registered in the terminal user list VC can be specified.

When actually performing broadcast communication, the broadcast device user first uses the operation panel 4 and CRT display 5 to create an address file according to the following procedure.

That is, the user of the notification device first specifies the terminal number of one destination terminal using the operation panel 4. Then, the control section 11
displays the terminal user list of the destination terminal on the CRT display 5.

Next, the broadcast device user uses the operation panel 4 to select a terminal user who is to be the recipient of the circular manuscript from the list of terminal users displayed on the CRT display 5. In addition, CRT
If the name of the recipient of the broadcast manuscript does not exist in the user list displayed on the display 6, the name of the recipient can be newly added to the user list using the operation panel 4.

By repeating the above operations for each destination terminal, a destination file as shown in FIG. 3 is created on the floppy disk e. This address file compares the terminal number of each destination terminal with the user number assigned to the recipient of the broadcast manuscript at each destination terminal.

When the creation of the address file is completed, the document reading section 1 is caused to read the broadcast document. As a result, the image information output from the original reading section 1 is encoded by the encoder 2 and then stored in the image information memory 3.

When the reading of the broadcast manuscript is completed, the control unit 11:
The address file is read from the floppy disk 6, and the telephone number of the first destination terminal is given to the communication control unit 9 by referring to the management table. The communication control section 9 automatically makes a call according to this telephone number and establishes a connection with the first destination terminal. When this connection is completed, the control unit 11 checks the user number corresponding to the first terminal in the address file, and inputs the user name (consisting of character code) to which this user number is attached. The user name is read from the management table and given to the character generator 7. Then, the character generator 7 generates a character pattern corresponding to the user name, and this character pattern is encoded by the encoder 8 and then transmitted to the first destination terminal by the communication control unit 9. be done.

When the transmission of the character pattern is completed, the communication control unit 9 reads the image information of the broadcast manuscript from the quaternary surface information memory 3 and transmits it to the first destination terminal via the line 10.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, at the first destination terminal, the received manuscript with the user name added to the beginning of the circular manuscript is obtained as the address designating the recipient of the circular manuscript at the terminal. (In Figure 4,
12 indicates a broadcast manuscript to be transmitted, and 13-1 to 13-n indicate received manuscripts).

Similarly, for the second and subsequent destination terminals,
Each time a connection is made to each terminal, the user name with the user number corresponding to the terminal in the file is read from the management table, and the encoded character string corresponding to this user name is read out from the management table. The communication control unit 9 transmits the turn to the destination terminal, and after the transmission of the character pattern is completed, the image information of the broadcast manuscript is transmitted to the destination terminal.As a result, as shown in FIG. At the destination terminals subsequent to the destination terminal, a received image is obtained in which the user name is added to the beginning of the circular manuscript as the address designating the recipient of the broadcast manuscript at the terminal.

Although the above embodiment is an example of a sequential reporting device with one transmission line, if a plurality of transmission lines are used, a plurality of character generators 7. The present invention can be realized by providing the encoder 8 and the communication control section 9.

As described above, according to the present invention, since it is possible to add an address specifying the recipient of the broadcast manuscript at each destination terminal to the circular manuscript and send it, the circular manuscript can be quickly and reliably sent to each destination terminal. This has the advantage of being able to deliver the information to the recipient.
