Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a transmitting side to confirm presence of omission of pages and state of disopder of picture etc. by storing a part of transmitted picture information in a memory of receiving side, and sending it back to the transmitting side after completion of transmission. CONSTITUTION:A signal received by a circuit controlling section 1 is demodulated by a demodulating section 2, and made to a picture signal by a decoding section. This picture signal is scanning start signal that indicates start of scanning lines and picture data of each scanning line. Predetermined position of transmitted original, for instance, cut out position data indicating positions of (a), (b), (c) in the figure are inputted to a cut out setting section 12. A cut out controlling section 14 edits cut out parts of each page of transmitted original, and controls position of description of a memory 13 to constitute a picture to be sent back to the transmitting side. When the circuit controlling section 1 detects completion of transmission from the sending side, the section gives return request to the transmitting side at once. When return request is accepted, information stored in the memory 13 is sent to transmitting side by the circuit controlling section 1 through a coding section 6 and a modulating section 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a communication confirmation system in a facsimile machine, particularly in a receiving facsimile machine.

[Prior art]

Some conventional receiving facsimile machines return all signals indicating the completion of reception (confirmation signal indicating normal reception, number of pages received, etc.) after the sending facsimile machine completes transmission. There is. However, with this method, it is not possible to check on the sending facsimile machine whether or not pages are rarely omitted or the degree of image signal disturbance. A method of monitor copying (recording on the own printer while transmitting it to the other party's machine) is also possible, but in this case, it is necessary to check whether the transmitted image signal has reached the receiving side normally and whether there is any disturbance in the received signal. ) It is not possible to check whether the print quality has changed or not.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus that allows the sending side to check whether there are any missing pages, the state of image disturbance, etc.

[Structure of the invention]

In order to achieve all of the above-mentioned objects, the facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes, on the receiving side, a counter that counts all image signals transmitted from the transmitting side, and a cutout setting section that sets a predetermined position of the image signal to be cut out. a storage memory for storing the cropped image signal; and a cropping control section that causes the storage memory to store all of the predetermined signals in response to setting position information from the cropping setting section and the output of the counter. , send flll
A line control section is provided for transmitting the stored image signal back to the transmitting side after the transmission from I is completed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, a part of the transmitted image information is stored in the memory of the receiving side, and after the transmission is completed, it is returned to the transmitting side, so that it is possible to check the content of the information that has arrived at the transmitting side, for example, whether or not pages are missing. , you can check the state of image disturbance, etc.

Moreover, the memory capacity required on the receiving side for this purpose is small, and the return time can be extremely shortened.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an automatic sending/receiving facsimile apparatus of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a line control unit that detects an M signal from the transmitting side and connects the transmission recall or issues a transmission request, 2 is a demodulation unit that demodulates the entire transmitted signal and extracts the image information, and 3 is a A decoding unit decompresses and decodes all of the compressed image information to make it into a 100-code image; 4 is a recording unit that prints the image signal on recording paper; 5 is only a preset image signal among the above image signals. 6 is an encoding unit that compresses and encodes the stored image signal, and 7 is a modulation unit that modulates the encoded image signal so that it can be transmitted. Further, 8 is a communication control section 9 that controls the line control section 1, demodulation section 2, and modulation section 7, and is a storage control section that controls all of the storage section 5, decoding section 3, etc.

FIG. 2 shows details of the storage section 5 and storage control section 9. As can be seen from the figure, the storage control unit 9 includes a counter for counting image signals, that is, a pixel number counter 1.
0 and scanning line number counter 11, a cutting edge setting unit 12 that sets a predetermined image signal position & for cutting edge output, setting position information from the cutting edge setting unit 12, and the counter 10.11.
Controls the storage memory 13 in the storage unit 5 according to the output of
A cropping control section 14 is provided that causes the storage memory 13 to store the image signal at the set position.

Next, the operation of the storage control section 9 will be explained. The signal received by the line control section 1 is output by the demodulation section 2, and then becomes an image signal at the decoding section. This image signal is a scan start signal indicating the start of a scan line and pixel data for each scan line. The scanning start signal counts up the scanning line number counter 11 and also resets the pixel number counter 10. The pixel number counter 10 is il! The count is incremented each time the iI accumulated data is sent to the recording section. On the other hand, the cutout setting section 1
In step 2, cutout position data indicating a predetermined position of the transmitted i manuscript, for example, the positions tr of A, 口, and NO in FIG. 3, is input. The cutting control unit 14 uses this cutting position data and counter 1 (J.

According to the output of step 11, the storage memory 13 is controlled and all the image information of the cutout portion is stored in the storage memory 13. Further, the cutout control unit 14 edits the cutout portion of each page of the transmission source image and controls the writing position in the storage memory 13 so as to configure a screen to be sent back to the sending side.

Thereafter, when the line control unit 1 detects the end of transmission from the sending side, it immediately issues a return request to the sending side.

When the return request is accepted, the information stored in the storage memory 13 is transferred to the line side (
e) Transmitted by unit 1 to the transmitting side.

On the sending side, the information returned in this way is printed in the recording section. An example is shown in Figure. In the figure, a text or telephone number clearly indicating that a return signal will be sent from the receiving side is printed in the heading E. The actual confirmation information is in the format shown in return information section 2, and this allows the sending side to know whether there are any missing pages, the status of the purchase of the art, etc.

Incidentally, pages, symbols, etc. are written in advance at the positions of A, A, and A of the transmission document shown in FIG. The positions of A, mouth, and C may be fixed to any one, or the user may be able to select and set them as necessary. In FC Yanghe, which uses a selection method, the sender instructs the setting position information using an operation button, etc., and according to the instructions, the sender sends it as a device control signal to the receiving side before sending out the image signal. It is necessary to input it to the cutout setting section 12.

Further, in this embodiment, part or all of the image signal is sent back at the same level, but it goes without saying that the reduction can be set freely.
