Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the discrimination of an original not sent yet by output ting error information to received paper when the information on the recording paper is not correct, connecting a transmission section and a reception section in a loopback from and allowing the output section to output only the 1st one page of the original among transmission originals. CONSTITUTION:In transmitting a picture electronically from a terminal station 1 to a terminal station 2, when a timer 6 reaches a prescribed time, a read section 8 is operated by a start pulse S1 raised from a control section 7 and reads an OMR sheet 4. When the read information A is not correct, an identification section 9 raises a control pulse E. The control pulse E is sent to a flip-flop 10, the read section 8 and an error control section 13 and also to a MODEM 18 via an OR gate 21. Then the MODEM 18 is thrown to the local mode (contact is thrown to the position b) and the error control section 13 sends error message information (e) to an output section 15, then a message M1 (OMR fault) is outputted on the paper 16.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Summary] OMR in which the identification code of the partner station, transmission mode, etc. are recorded.
(QPtical Mark-8heet Read
r) In a facsimile system in which a sheet is set in the reading unit along with the original to send an image, the original cannot be sent due to an error in the information on the OMR sheet or because the other party is busy (the line is busy). Notify users of information.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an improved unsent notification method for notifying the user of information that cannot be sent due to the other party being busy in a facsimile communication system. Each document is stacked and set on the reading stacker, overlapping the OMR sheet. After the transmission operation is completed, check the cause of the busy state of the other station,
There is a need for a measure to easily identify unsent documents that cannot be sent due to information errors in OMR sheets.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional example will be explained using figures. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a conventional example, and FIG. 3 is a front view of an OMR sheet.

A terminal station (hook digital device) 1 and a terminal station 2 are connected via a switching network 3. When transmitting a document from the terminal station 1 by timer transmission means or unattended transmission means, the user overlaps the document (for example, P1 to Pn) with the OMR sheet 4 on which the destination identification code, transmission mode, etc. are recorded. and set it on the reading stacker 5. When there are multiple users, such a combination of (OMR sheet) + (manuscript) is set one on top of the other.

For example, in the case of timer overconfidence, when the timer 6 reaches a predetermined time, the control unit 7 is activated. The reading unit 8 is activated by the activation pulse S issued thereby, and the OMR sheet 4 is read.

As shown in FIG. 3, the OMR code 41C records information such as the number of OMR types, transmission mode, department code, communication mode, and number of copies to be sent. The read information A is sent to the control section 7.

If the information A is correct (that is, the recorded contents of the OMR sheet are normal), the identification section 9 sends a control pulse G to the 7-lip flop 10 to set it. Along with this, the gate circuit 11 becomes "open", and the next document P to be read, ~
The image information H of Pn is sent to the compression unit 12 and transmitted.

When the information A of 0MR4 is incorrect, the identification section 9 sends a control pulse E to the reading section 8 and the error control section 13. The document P that is scanned by the reading unit 8 activated by this
1 to Pn are sent to the star power 14. However, since the gate circuit 11 is in the "closed" state, the image [ilH is
(i.e. not sent).

On the other hand, the error control unit 13 sends the error message information e to
Since it is sent to the output section 15, the message NL C is written on the paper 16.
On the other hand, if the information A of the 0MR4 is normal, the control unit 7 sends out a terminal clock DP or pH to call the partner station (terminal station) 2. This call signal is transmitted from the transmitting section 17 to the line 19 via the modem 18 as a sound signal BY, which is responded to the terminal station 1.
<If the other station 2 is busy even after sending the pulse DP a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times), the startup pulse S is sent to the reading section 8° and 7 lip-flop 10.0 This resets the flip-flop 10. At the same time, the reading unit 8 is activated. The original document PH-Pn read accordingly is stored in the stacker 14. However, the image information H of the originals P+-Pn is blocked by the gate circuit 11 (in the "closed" state) and is not sent out.

The control section 7 also sends a busy signal B to the error control section 13. As a result, the message is sent to the output section 15, and the message M1 (busy) is output on the paper 20.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned Hook Dimensions device, for example, as shown in FIG.
t or Qt, Qt), it is unclear whether the other station was "busy" and even if the OMR sheet is "roMR defective", which OMR sheet (4 or 4') is defective. There were problems such as it was not clear whether the message had been sent or not, and it took time and effort to confirm when retransmitting, and mistakes were made.

Measures to Solve Problem C] The above problems are as follows: (1) It has a reading part, a transmitting part, a receiving part, and an output part, and has a recording paper on which information such as destination code, transmission mode, etc. is recorded, and a transmission document. In a facsimile machine that transmits document information by reading the information from a reading section, a means for determining whether the information on the recording paper is correct or not, a device for counting the number of sheets of the document read, and a switch between the transmitting section and the receiving section. Output the connecting means and error information to receiving form number 3. Pseudo means 1;

(2) In a facsimile communication system in which a facsimile device having a reading section, an overconfidence section, a receiving section, and an output section is connected to a destination station via a switching network, the device installed in the facsimile device calls the destination station. means for transmitting a ringing signal, means for counting the number of times the ringing signal is sent or ringing time, means for detecting a busy tone signal from the switching network;
In other words, regarding (1) above, when the # mark reading section reads the recording paper, If the recorded information is incorrect, an error message is output to the paper, and the transmitting section and the receiving section are connected back to output only the first page of the transmitted document from the output section. Also, (2) 11 above
4, when the facsimile device calls the other party, only a busy tone signal can be obtained from the exchange network even if the facsimile device repeatedly sends the calling code a predetermined number of times or at certain times;
When outputting the unsent information on the paper, the transmitting section and the receiving section are connected back, and only the first page of the transmitted document is outputted from the output section.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a step-by-step diagram for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, and will be explained using an example in which an image is transmitted from terminal station 1 to terminal station 2. When the timer 6 reaches a predetermined time, the reading unit 8 is activated by the activation pulse S1 issued from the control unit 7, and the OMR sheet 4 is read.0 If the read information A is incorrect, the identification unit 9
Control 511 Hals E is issued. This control pulse E
7 is sent to the PUF cI/P 10, the reading section 8, and the error control section 13, and is also sent to the modem 18 via the OR gate 21. As a result, the modem 18 is switched to the local mode (contact b@), and the error control section 13 sends the error message information e to the output section 15, so that the message M* (OMR failure) is output on the paper 18.

On the other hand, since the control pulse E passes through the OR gate 22 and sets the flip-flop 10, the gate circuit 11 is opened.
becomes. Further, the reading section 8 is activated by this control pulse E, and the original PI is read.

This draft information H1 of the original P is turned back by the gate circuit 11 (1611), that is, it is stored in the image memory 23 by the receiving section 24 via the contact point.

This compressed information in the image memory 23 is restored by the restoration section 25 and sent to the output section 15 as image information H8, so that it may be outputted to the paper 26 or to the original pH5.

On the other hand, the page counter 27 is a counter that counts the number of pages of compressed information (for one page) from the compression unit 12. After receiving the control signal E, the determining unit 28 sends a reset signal R to the OR gate 29 to reset the flip-flop 10 when the value N of the page counter 27 becomes rlJ.

As a result, the gate circuit 11 becomes "closed". Therefore, the originals P1 to Pn are successively read by the reading section 8, and
The image information is stored in the output unit 14, but the image information is stored in the output unit 1.
No output from 5.

As a result of the above output processing, the document P (that is, Pl and P,) in FIG.
It becomes clear that the sheet 4 was not transmitted due to an abnormality.

Next, the operation when the other party's station (terminal station) 2 is busy will be explained.

When the OMR sheet 4 is read by the reading section 8, if the information A is correct, the identification section 9 sends the control signal G to the OR gate 22 to set the flip flop 10. Gate circuit 11 due to f deviation
becomes ``Open J.''

On the other hand, upon receiving the information A, the control unit 7 sends out a calling signal to call the other party's station (terminal station) 2.

This calling signal is transmitted from the transmitter 17 via the modem 18 #i
! 19.

When the other station (terminal) 2 is busy, the switching network 3 responds with a busy tone signal BY to the terminal station 1.

In the terminal station 1, the control unit 7 sends the calling signal a predetermined number of times (fl
If the other station 2 is busy even after sending (for example, 3 times), the activation pulse S is sent to the reading section 8, the discriminating section 30, and the OR gate 21. As a result, the modem 18 enters the local mode, and the discriminating section 30 and The reading section 8 is activated.

Information A1 of the read document PI is sent to the compression unit 12 via the gate circuit 11, compressed and stored in the image memory 23 (C).The page counter 27 receives this compressed information (1
(for one page), and the value is Nl.

Upon receiving this count value N, the discriminating unit 30 that was activated earlier sends a busy signal B to the error control unit 13. As a result, a busy message ti[b is sent to the output unit 15, and the paper A message (M bus busy) is output to 20.

The compressed information in the image memory 23 is returned from the transmitter 17 by the modem 18, passes through the receiver 24, and is stored in the image memory 23 again. Thereafter, the image information H1 is outputted to the paper 31 by the restoration unit 25. Note that busy signal B is OR
Since the signal is sent to the gate 29, the flip drop 70 knob 10 is reset and the gate circuit 11 is "closed". Therefore, the image information of the originals P, -Pn is not output from the output unit 15. Or directly from the reading unit to the output unit 1 without passing through the compression unit 12 and the decompression unit.
It may also be output to 5.

As a result of the above output processing, the paper 20 on which the error message M is output and the manuscript paper 31 on which the copy is output,
Document P in FIG. 4 (i.e., P.

and pu) were not transmitted because the other party was "busy."

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention has the advantage that it is easy to identify documents that have not been sent due to a defective OμR sheet or the other party is busy, thereby facilitating smooth operation of the facsimile system.
