CONSTITUTION:The control section 4 extracts the document information serving as a communication object from a document information storage section 1, converts it into the information of the form shown in Fig., stores it in a buffer memory 3 and transmits a communication start command signal 23 to a communication control section 2. The communication control section 2 receives this signal and transmits the information in the buffer memory 3 to an information processing unit B via a communication line 25. A communication control section 6 in the information processing unit B stores the information transmitted from the communication control section 2 of an information processing unit A to a buffer memory 7. After the storage operation is finished, the communication control section 6 transmits a storage start command signal 24 to the control section 8. The control section 8 receives this signal and stores the information in the buffer memory 7 to the document information storage section 5.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a text/image mixed communication system in a local area network, and in particular, to a method for reconfiguring information for printing etc. in the exchange of document information of text information and image information. Related to document and image mixed communication system.

PRIOR ART Conventionally, multiple processing stations are connected to cables installed within a restricted area to form a local network and process compound documents (text, graphs, etc.).

Input 2 creation of a document containing part or all of an image).

Complex document processing networks have been proposed that are capable of editing, storing and retrieving stored documents, and transmitting and receiving documents to and from other stations and facsimile machines. In such a processing network, 1
If character code information, graphic information, and image information are mixed in a print image, each piece of information is separated and transferred, so it is necessary to overlap (combine) these pieces of information and print them. . (Refer to the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 175958/1983). However, when compound document information (hereinafter referred to as text/image mixed document information) is exchanged between multiple information processing devices, the text information and image information of the print image cannot overlap, so This method has the disadvantage that there are restrictions on the format of the document, and furthermore, the information cannot be easily reconstructed for printing or the like.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to improve the drawbacks of the prior art as described above,
Provides a text/image mixed communication method that reliably realizes re-authorization of information for printing, etc. when text/image mixed document information composed of text information and image information is exchanged between multiple information processing devices. There's K things to do.

composition Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be explained based on a practical example.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 1, 1.5 is a document information storage unit for storing document information, 2 and 6 are communication control units for communicating with other information processing devices, and 6 and 7 are controlled by communication control devices. A buffer memory is used to store information exchanged between other information processing devices, and 4.8 is a control unit that moves and processes data between the document information storage unit and the buffer memory.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a text/image mixed document.
The figure is a configuration diagram of communication information exchanged in the text/image mixed communication system of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the constituent unit of an image on a document is called a frame. And image frame and (text) + (image)
The frame 61 is configured to be superimposed on the character frame 60. In addition, the character image frame 61 contains the characters “
Fuji” and the image are superimposed in the same frame.

62 is another character frame, and 66 is a graphic 7 frame.

Next, the operation of sending and receiving document information between the information processing apparatuses A and B shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in 2F! ! This will be explained with reference to an example of a mixed document of the letter J (@!) and a configuration diagram of character image mixed document information in FIG.

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the document information storage unit 1 has a function of storing several Ii pages of document information as shown in FIG. Control s4 takes out the document information to be communicated from the document information storage section 1, converts it into information in the form shown in FIG. 6, and stores it in the buffer memory 6. After completing this storage operation, the control section 4 sends a communication start instruction signal 26 to the communication control section 2. Upon receiving this signal, the communication control unit 2 transmits the information in the buffer memory 6 to the information processing device fJHc via the communication path 25. The communication control unit 6 of the information processing device B stores information sent from the communication control unit 2 of the information processing device A in the buffer memory 7. After completing this storage operation, the communication control unit 6 sends a storage start instruction signal 24 to the control unit 8. The control section 8 receives this signal and stores the information in the buffer memory Z into the document information storage section 5. The document information storage section 5 may be a magnetic storage device or the like, or may be a storage section of a device having a printing mechanism. In such exchange of document information, as shown in FIG. 6, the communication information includes document information page by page, text information, seven graphic information.

They are summarized like image information and arranged in the order of overlapping. The header 9 of the document is the document name.

Total amount of document information, conditions for printing (paper size, etc.)

It consists of information about the documents handled in this communication in general, such as the number of copies printed, etc. Header 9 of the document is sentence '111
One piece of information is required per case. The data header 10 consists of nine page numbers, letters, figures, and codes for distinguishing between images. Taking the document shown in FIG. 2 as an example, the first data header 10 is the page number - 1 and the distinguishing code for characters, figures, and images - "character". The frame header 11 is composed of information corresponding to the character frame 30 in FIG. The frame header 11 is the coordinates of the frame on the document,
It consists of information about each frame, such as the superimposition code (a code that specifies whether to superimpose the underlying document information of the frame by logical sum or replacement), frame superimposition order, etc. . In the example of FIG. 2, the "character" frame includes character frame 601, image cross frame 31. It is composed of six character frames 62. In this way, when there are multiple frames with the same attribute, the frames are configured in terms of superimposition order and coordinates on the document. Frame text 12 is character information corresponding to character frame 30 in FIG. Similarly, frame header 13 and 7-frame content 14 are placed in character frame 620, and 7-frame header 15 and 7-frame content 16 are placed in (image) + (character) frame 311.
C is compatible with each. The data header 17 is the second
It corresponds to the graphic frame 66 in the figure. Frame content 19 constitutes a figure [element descriptor such as li line 1 circle? 'It is configured. Data header 20 corresponds to the image frame of FIG.

Fig. gg3 is an example of the document shown in Fig. 2, but when sending and receiving a multi-hash document, a combination of a data header, a 7-frame header, and a 7-frame condenser is repeatedly configured. This makes it possible to display the text information and image information of the print image in the same way.

Effects As explained above, according to the text/image mixed communication system of the present invention, when a text/text mixed text consisting of text information and image information is sent and received between a plurality of information processing devices. With this in mind, printing images can be duplicated, making it possible to reliably reconstruct information for printing.
