Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the invention will be described below in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a facsimile broadcast signal (hereinafter referred to as a received signal) inputted from an input terminal 1 is inputted to an image information decoding section 2. The image information decoding section 2 decodes the image signal among the received signals. The control signal decoding section 3 decodes the control signal among the received signals. keyboard 4
is connected to the input section 9, and the user can use this keyboard 4 to request recording of the set reception program.

Central processing bag! (CPU) 5 responds to the image information and control signals sent from the input unit 9 and the received program recording request input from the keyboard 4 to a read-only memory (RO).
M) Processing is performed according to the procedure stored in 6. The ROM 6 contains the processing procedures of the CPU 5 and the image information decoding section 2.
A character pattern for replacing the decoded signal with a character is stored. Random access memory (RAM)
) 7 is for appropriately storing received signals, etc., and a recording section 8
is for recording image signals on paper.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing the operation of this embodiment. When the process is started in step 201, first in step 202 the CPU 5 initializes the broadcast facsimile device.

Next, in step 203, the CPU 5 executes the rearrangement subroutine shown in FIG. This rearrangement subroutine inputs the channel number and program number of the program desired to be received and rearranges the contents. Processing of this subroutine is started in step 301. In step 302, the channel number of the program desired to be viewed is input to the input section 9. In step 303, the CPU 5 determines whether the input channel number is within the correct range, and if it is not within the correct range, the process returns to step 302. If it is within the correct range, the RAM is stored in step 304.
This channel number is stored in 7. Step 305
The program number of the program that the user wishes to receive is input into the input section 9.

In step 306, CPtJ5 determines whether the input program number is within the correct range, and if it is not within the correct range, the process returns to step 305. If the input program number is within the correct range, in step 307 the RAM 7
Show on? ! The above steps are repeated until the number is stored and it is determined in step 308 that the input is complete. Step 3
When it is determined that the input is completed in step 08, the CP
U5 rearranges the channel numbers and program numbers stored in the RAM 7, and stores the rearranged channel numbers and program numbers in the RAM 7. and step 31
When the value is 0, the processing of this subroutine ends.

In this way, the channel number and program number are stored in the RAM 7 as shown in FIG. That is, the first byte of address A in RAM7 contains 1' as the channel number.
is memorized, and the second . The third byte contains 12 as the program number.
3' is stored. The first byte of address A+3 contains 11' as the channel number. 256' is stored in the third byte as the program number.

In FIG. 2, when the rearrangement subroutine is completed, the CPtJ5 determines in step 204 whether there is a request from the keyboard 4 to record the received program.

If there is a request to record the received program, the channel number and program number stored in the RAM 7 are read in step 205.
After replacing the character pattern with the character pattern in OM6, the recording unit 8 records it on a recording paper. Step 20
When the process of step 5 is completed or there is no recording request for the received program in step 204, it is determined in step 206 whether all the processes have been completed, and when it is determined that the process has not been completed, the process returns to step 203. When it is determined that the process has ended, the process ends in step 207.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the channel number and program number recorded in step 5.

Although the explanation has been made using decimal representation in FIGS. 4 and 5, it goes without saying that the information actually stored in the RAM 7 is expressed in binary representation.

As described above, when a request to record a received program is received from the keyboard 4, the channel number and program number of the received program are appropriately arranged and recorded on recording paper.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a facsimile broadcast receiving device that allows the user to easily confirm all information about a program that the user wishes to receive as needed. .
