Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain sophisticated multiple address communication by inputting a main message communication document and a document containing an address and an additional sentence from a remote facsimile terminal, and forming the documents with individual addresses and corresponding additional sentences the same numbers as that of the addresses. CONSTITUTION:When the main message communication document 16 is received at first from the facsimile terminal 2 and then a document 19 with addresses and an additional sentence is received, the main message document 16 is stored in a storage section 12 in a memory 7 and the said document 19 is stored in a storage section 13. A system processing section 10 cuts out a character section (address 1) written at the head of the document 19 and writes it in a buffer section A15 by using a character cutout processing section 8 from the said storage section 13, and cuts out the character section (additional sentence 1) written at the 2nd part and writes it in a buffer section B15. Then, the system processing section 10 reads out document information from the buffer section A14, and applying magnification/contraction conversion, writes the result in a write section 17 for addresses, and obtains the 1st multiple address document 20.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention receives facsimile signals of a document containing an address and an annotation from a facsimile terminal, and a facsimile signal of the main communication, and extracts one set of an address and an annotation from the document containing an address and an annotation. This invention relates to a facsimile circular editing/conversion method using an in-network device that replaces image information at a predetermined location in a communication document, and creates and sends the same number of messages as the number of destinations, with individual addresses and annotations added.

Conventionally, in broadcast communication using facsimile IJ, only the same document can be sent, so it is not possible to write addresses or add text to each recipient. Furthermore, when writing individual addresses or adding text, it is necessary to prepare as many documents as there are recipients, which has the disadvantage of complicating business operations.

The present invention is characterized in that when a document with an addressee and an annotation and the main communication are input into a facsimile terminal, the facsimile signal is received and a communication document with the individual addressee and annotation is created. The purpose is to increase the convenience of broadcast communication and streamline business operations without requiring a new terminal device.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a facsimile mail editing/converting device, 2 is a facsimile terminal, 3 is a network control unit, 4 is a line, and 5 is a line interface. , 6 is a control unit,
7 is a memory section.

FIG. 2 shows details of the configuration of the control unit 6 and memory unit 7 shown in FIG. 12 is a storage unit for the main communication; 13 is a storage unit for documents containing addresses and annotations; 14 is a buffer unit A115
is the buffer section B.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a document that is input to or output from the device used in the present invention, in which 16 is the main communication, 17 is an address writing section, 18 is an annotation writing section, and 19 is an address and annotation. 20 is the address■ and annotation■
21 is a document in which an address ■ and an annotation ■ are added.

First, input this communication document 16 from the facsimile terminal 2,
Next, enter document 19 with the address and annotations,
The system processing unit 10 transmits the facsimile signal to the line 4,
If the image information is received via the line interface 5 and encoded, it is reprinted by the encoder/decoder 11, and if it is not encoded, the main communication document in the IT memory 7 is reproduced. It is stored in the storage section 12. Next, when the document 19 with the addressee and annotation is input into the facsimile terminal 2, the system processing unit 10 stores the image information of the document in the storage unit 13 of 11, including the addressee and annotation. do.

The system processing unit 10 uses the character extraction processing unit 8 to extract the character part (address ■) written at the beginning of the document 19 in which the addressee and annotation have been written, from the storage unit 13 of the document in which the addressee and annotation have been written. It is cut out and written into the buffer section A 15, and then the second written character section (the appendix ■) is cut out and written into the buffer section B 15. The system processing unit 10 reads the image information from the buffer unit A14, converts it to a predetermined size using the enlargement/reduction conversion unit 9, and stores it in a predetermined location in the storage unit 2 of the present communication, that is, the present communication 1.
6 in the address writing section 17.

Next, the image information is read out from the buffer section B15, converted to a predetermined size using the enlargement/reduction/j% conversion section 9, and stored in a predetermined location in the storage section 12 of the present communication, that is, the image information of the present communication 16. Write it in the place of the annotation writing section 18.

As a result, a document 20 is created on the memory unit 7, with a set of addressee ■ and an annotation ■ added thereto. The system processing section 10 reads out the entire image information from the storage section 12 of the communication document, encodes it using the encoding/decoding section 11, or sends it as is via the line interface 5.

Next, the system processing unit io uses the character extraction processing unit 8 from the storage unit 13 of the document containing the address and annotation to extract the third character part (address ■) of the document 19 containing the address and annotation. It is extracted and written to the buffer section A14, and then the fourth written character section (annotation ■) is extracted and written to the buffer section B15. Through the same processing as described above, the addressee ■ and the annotation ■ are stored in the memory section 7. The image information of the document 21 is encoded by the encoder/decoder 5-11, or sent in size 1 via the line interface 5.

Document 1 with the address and annotations written by repeating the above process
Create the same number of correspondence as the number of addresses written in 9 and send them in the form of facsimile IJ signals.

Note that in the above explanation, the main correspondence is entered on the first page, and the address and annotations are entered on the second page, but this order is reversed and the address and annotations are entered on the first page. You may input the main communication document on the second page of the written document.

In addition, although this example shows one piece of correspondence, it may be made up of multiple sheets.Furthermore, the example given is a document in which the addressee and annotations are written horizontally, but these It may be written vertically or in any other format.

As explained above, the present invention creates the same number of documents as the number of addresses by inputting the main correspondence and a document with addresses and annotations via facsimile. This has the advantage of improving work efficiency and increasing the convenience of circular communications.
