Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically record additional information, such as distributing destination, etc., and to rationalize and reduce office works, by previously storing information to be recorded additionally and recording the stored information on a recording paper, on which received picture signals are recorded, whenever picture signals are received. CONSTITUTION:Signals received through an NCU1 are demodulated at an MODEN circuit 2 and inputted into a communication controlling circuit 3. When the signals are inputted into the circuit 3, the circuit 3 starts transmission/reception of procedure signals with the transmitting side and, at the same time, designates an additional information storage circuit 8 to record additional information. One the other hand, the picture signals demodulated at the MODEM circuit 2 are inputted in a BC4 through the communication controlling circuit 3 and elongated to the original picture signals. The original picture signals thus converted are outputted to a record controlling circuit 5. The circuit 5 sends the picture signals to a recording section 6 successively to the additional information recorded while the procedure signals are transmitted and received with the transmitting side and causes the recording section 6 to record the signals on a recording paper 7.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of invention] This invention relates to a facsimile machine.

[Prior art]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a receiving section of an example of a conventional facsimile machine, in which (1) is a network control circuit (hereinafter referred to as NCU), (2) is a modulation/demodulation circuit, (3) is a communication control circuit, (4) is a band expansion circuit (hereinafter referred to as BC);
(5) is the recording control circuit, (6) is the recording section, +71 Fi
It is a recording paper.

Next, the operation will be explained.

The signal received via the NCU Ill is sent to the modulation/demodulation circuit (
2), and enters the communication control circuit (31). Exchange of procedure signals with the transmitting side by the communication control circuit (3) 9
When this is completed, reception of the image signal is started. The image signal is input to BC(4)K via the communication control circuit (31),
In BC (4), the band-compressed image signal is expanded and converted to the original image signal, and the recording control circuit (5)
1 is output. The recording control circuit (5) sends the image signal to the recording section (6) and records it on recording paper (7).

Figure 2.2 shows an example of recording in a conventional device.

Traditionally, when a single facsimile machine is shared by multiple departments in a company or a municipal administrative agency, it is necessary to write down the distribution destination for each piece of paper that records the image, and in some cases, it is necessary to It was necessary to enter comments such as "," which was a key to streamlining administrative processing and saving labor.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above, and includes a means for additionally recording information such as the recording date and time, comments, distribution destination, etc. regarding the recording paper on the recording paper on which the image signal is recorded. The purpose is to provide a facsimile machine with a high level of functionality.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention,
In the figure il+, +21, +31, +4
1, [51, 161, +71 indicate parts that are the same as or correspond to the same reference numerals in FIG. 9) is an additional information input operation section for inputting information to be stored in the additional information storage circuit (8).

Next, the operation will be explained. The signal received via the NCU II e is demodulated in the modulation/demodulation circuit (2).

Enters the communication control circuit (3). At this time, the communication control circuit (3
) starts exchanging procedure signals with the transmitting side and at the same time instructs the additional information storage circuit (8) to record the additional information. The additional information storage circuit 18) outputs information set in advance by the additional information input operation section (9) to the recording control circuit (5). The recording control circuit f5+ sends the additional information to the recording section (6) to record it on the recording paper (7).

On the other hand, when the communication control circuit (3) completes the exchange of procedure signals with the transmitting side, the image signal receiving mode is entered. The image signal demodulated in the modulation/demodulation circuit (2) enters the BC (4) via the communication control circuit (3), is expanded and converted into the original image signal, and is output to the recording control circuit (5). Ru. The recording control circuit (51) sends the image signal to the recording section (6) following the additional information recorded while the procedure signal exchange with the transmitting side is being carried out, and prints the image signal on the recording paper (
7) to be recorded.

FIG. 4 shows an example of recording in this embodiment.

The part shown in (a) in the figure is the additional information part, and the part shown in fb) is the part based on the pictorial signal.The operator only needs to mark the appropriate symbol in the part (at1). Although the configuration described above is such that the additional information is recorded before recording the image signal, it may also be configured to be recorded after the recording of the image signal.Furthermore, when receiving multiple equinox image signals regarding the same item in succession, The additional information may be recorded on each page, the first page, or the last page.In this embodiment, the information is set in the additional information storage circuit (8). , the additional information may be set by operating the additional information input operation section (9), or may be set via a circuit provided with fixed information.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when a facsimile machine is shared by each department, there is no need to write down distribution destinations etc. on recording paper one by one, contributing to rationalization of office processing and labor saving. There is.
