Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for superimposing graphic patterns and/or characters. In this case, basic information consisting of graphic patterns and/or characters is generated in the transmitting device and displayed on the receiving device.

In addition, this basic information includes graphs, ftsuk patterns, and/or
Alternatively, additional information consisting of characters is superimposed.

When transmitting basic information consisting of graphic patterns and/or characters from a transmitting device to a receiving device, for example, when transmitting basic information consisting of graphic patterns and/or characters to a receiving facsimile, additional information, such as data, is transmitted in addition to the basic information. , it is desirable to transmit the time or name at the same time. This occurs especially in automatic transmissions at night. Here, it is important to decide when to transmit the basic information. ., additional information (r) must be able to be superimposed at any position on the basic information.

The following solutions can be considered for this request. In other words, the copy containing basic information is slightly reduced during transmission,
Additional information is inserted at the empty (layer 7) location using JL.However, with this method, when the amount of information is large, superimposition cannot be performed.Another method is to insert the name,
It is also conceivable to paste the portion of the paper with the data and time onto the original image containing the rough ink pattern and/or the characters, and to transmit this information together with the basic information. However, even with this method, when the amount of information becomes large, transmission becomes impossible. This is because in that case, some of the basic information will be hidden under the information.

U.S. Patent No. 4255766: ■ Precept-41 contains basic information (・ζme(,, 5 self-memorized power in Il) that was derived from the original picture.

The Shigeno information obtained in this way by superimposing the additional information
f:' A method of transmitting to a P4 raw device is disclosed. With this method, additional information is always printed in black.1.1. Ru. Therefore, the graphic pattern and/or characters of the basic information at the superimposed location do not have a black color. This is because, in doing so, the basic information could not be identified,9 and there would be misinterpretation, power, and sway.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus that allows additional information to be superimposed on any part of basic information by using SonoL, and that allows both pieces of information to be well identified. It is to be.

Structure and Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, this problem can be solved as C<i.
L. That is, in the method described at the beginning, additional information; ν
If the basic information and the basic information have the same color, the additional information is displayed in a different color from the basic information when the two pieces of information are superimposed.

The method according to the present invention has the advantage that the content of the basic information is maintained even when it is overlapped with additional information. Another advantage of this method is that the content of the basic information and the additional information are Even if the information has the same color, it can be recognized by changing the color of the additional information.An additional advantage of this method is that the basic information does not need to be reduced.

The method of the invention can be advantageously used when the basic information is displayed using two colors, for example when graphic patterns and /I or letters are gray and black on a white background. Ru. In this case, depending on the color of the additional information (*1) and the basic information, the white "17E" is represented as black depending on the overlapping position.

The ability to use facsimile as a sending and receiving device is advantageous. However, it is also possible to use a similar device that transmits the basic information in a line-wise and dot-wise manner. For example,
When displaying basic information or information that may be displayed on a television is done in two or more colors, it is advantageous to display the additional information using a complementary color to the color representing the basic information.

The superposition of basic information and additional information can take place in the transmitting device or the receiving device, or by its additional device R, or else in the middle of the transmission path.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The eleventh figure is a schematic Zorrock diagram of the transmission system. The transmission system includes transmitting devices 3, E and receiving devices ji +c M. The transmitting device S'E and the receiving device gM are configured as facsimile machines, for example.

In the transmitting device S U2, which is designed as a facsimile 17, an original image with basic information consisting of graphic patterns and/or letters is scanned photoelectrically by a scanning device. In the superimposition stage S, additional information Z is superimposed on the scanned basic information G. This example additional information can be input using the input device E. The entire number 1a [1, consisting of the basic information G and the additional information Z, is transmitted to a facsimile machine configured as a receiving device EM and recorded on the record carrier by its output R.

The superimposition stage 3] can be arranged in the transmitting device (S), the transmission path or the receiving device (EflO) or in addition to the transmitting device or the receiving device. Additional information zVi represents data and transmission time, for example.

Depending on the location of the superimposition stage S (sending device sE or receiving device M), the name of the sender or the receiver can also be displayed.

FIG. 2a shows a portion of the basic information G that is 1 on the original image to be scanned. Figure 2b shows data representing 2.5.80'' as additional information Z. Figure 2c shows the data representing 2.5.80''.
The power output from the receiving device EM is all information processing. As can be seen from the figure, both the basic information G and the additional information Z are represented in black on a white background. However, when the basic information G and the additional information '/1 are superimposed, if the two pieces of information have the same color at the superimposed location, the color is inverted.

Ru. The same is true when information is represented in more than one color. In this case, the additional information Z is displayed in a different color from the basic information G. When the colors of two pieces of information match, it is advantageous to use a complementary color for additional information B.

R detects in which region of the basic information G the example additional information Z is inserted. The signal IV□4 corrupts the memories S6-S6.

In this case, note! JS3. The first column number or row number of the insertion area is retrieved from S4, name 1, memory s5. Similarly, the number of the last column or row of the insertion area is extracted from s6. Further, additional information Z is also stored in the memory S2 via the mark computer kAR.

When scanning the original image, the basic information G is stored line by line in the memory S1. This storage is performed using the column counter Z1. The column color/Zl is incremented by a clock pulse T to determine the address of the memory s1 in which the corresponding basic information G is stored. At the end of the row 9, column counter Z1 sends a digit up signal U to row counter Z2. The color/return Z2 signal U moves forward by one unit. Tari counter Z1id, reset/

The thickness of each character/symbol representing the additional information Z is determined by the frequency divider n; IC, in which the frequency dividers Fl and F2 raise the clock 7 times T and signal 1 line up and divide t. be done. By virtue of this configuration, the required storage space within the memory device SP can be significantly reduced. This is because the counting state t of the column counter Z6 or the row counter Z4 does not correspond to the clock pulse T or the individual pulses of the two pulses U, but after counting n pulses. This is because it changes with
