The figure is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

The teletex terminal device of the present invention is composed of a word processor device 100 and a teletex adding device 200.

The word processor device 100 and the word processor control unit 101 have the following functions in order to expand the teletex communication function.
Communication utility 102 and external expansion disk driver 103 connected to word processor control unit 101
, a reception notification task 104 and a teletex format data conversion task 105 connected to the communication utility 102.
, a word processor format data conversion task 106, a transmission management table access driver 107, a reception management table access driver 108, and an external expansion disk driver 103.
and an external expansion disk connected to the reception notification task 104 or reception management table access driver 108
9.

The Teletex adding device 200 is controlled by a microcomputer and includes a Teletex communication control unit 201 connected to the Teletex communication line 300, a word processor boat 202 connected to the external expansion disk port 10B of the word processor device 100, and a Teletex adding device 200. A reception notification sending task 203 and a file control unit 210 are arranged between the communication control unit 201 and the word processor boat 202, and an external printing machine 4 is connected to the file control unit 210.
00 and a teletex format printing task 240 that connects the teletex format printing task 240.

The Teletex communication control unit 201 controls communication up to the session layer of the external expansion disk driver 103 that controls the protocol layer according to the Teletex communication protocol, and exchanges transmitted and received data in the file control unit 210.

The reception notification sending task 203 sends reception information to the word processor device 100 in real time based on the reception notification information from the teletex communication control unit 201.

The file control unit 210 includes the word processor board 20
2, the transmission management table access task 21), the reception management table access task 212, and the file access task 213, which are connected to the transmission management table access task 21), the reception management table access task 212), and the transmission management table access task 214 and Reception management table 215 and transmission file 216 connected to file access task 213
and a receive file 217, a file saver loader 218 connected to each file, and a send task 219 and a receive task 220 that connect the file saver loader 218 and the teletext communication control unit 201. is the transmission management table 214
The output of the file saver loader 218 is connected to the teletex form printing task 240.

The file access task 213 saves and loads the document file stored in the send file 216 or the receive file 217 in the memory area according to a command from the word processor device 100.

The file saver loader 218 generates or decomposes the file format of transmitted and received data.

Teletex format printing task 240 prints received file 2
The teletex document data read from 17 via the file saver loader 218 is output to the printing machine 400.

The reception operation of Teletex communication will be explained.

When data is received from Teletex communication line 300,
Receiving task 220 by Teletex communication control unit 201
is started. The reception task 220 activates the file saver loader 218, converts the received data into a file format document by document, and writes it into the reception file 217. At the same time, the reception information of the received data is registered in the reception management table 215. Further, the teletex communication control unit 201 activates the reception notification sending task 203 at the same time as receiving the data.
The word processor device 100 is notified that there is received data.

At this time, if the word processor device 100 is not powered on, the received data is stored in the reception file 217 and the reception operation ends.

If the simultaneous printing mode is set in the Teletex addition device 200, the Teletex communication control unit 201 starts the Teletex format printing task 240 when receiving data, and prints the received file 217 via the file saver loader 218. The teletex document data is read out and output to the printing machine 400.

When the word processor device 100 receives a reception notification from the teletex addition device 200, the word processor device 100 executes a reception notification task 10.
4 is activated and sent to the word processor control unit 101 via the communication utility 102, and the operator is notified of the presence of received data by lighting the display screen or lamp. When an operator needs a received document, he first starts the communication utility 102, reads the reception information from the reception management table 215 of the teletex addition device 200, and searches for the document name of the required document file. Next, the external expansion disk driver 103, which is one of the basic functions of the word processing device 100, is used to read the target received document from the received file 217 of the teletex addition device 200. The format of the document stored in the received file is the Teletex format, and a word processor format data conversion task 106 is operated to convert this into a data format used by a word processor. This allows documents received via Teletex communication to be used in a word processor.

The transmission operation of Teletex communication will be explained.

When transmitting a document created by the word processor control unit 101, the teletex format data conversion task 105 is run on the transmitted document in advance to convert the document data format specific to the word processor into the teletex format. . This converted document is registered as a file in the transmission file 216 of the Teletex addition device 200 using the external expansion disk driver 103. Next, information such as the destination of the document to be sent and the sending time is stored in the sending management table 211.
, the transmission management table access task 21) is activated.

The teletex adding device 200 stores the transmission document file from the word processing device 100 in the transmission file 216 using the file access task 213, and activates the transmission task 219 according to the transmission information in the transmission management table 214. When the transmission task 219 is activated, it reads the target transmission document from the transmission file 216 via the file saver loader 218 and sends it to the Teletex communication control unit 201.
Teletex communication is started.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention allows a word processing device to enable teletex communication of documents in the same way as accessing document files on an external expansion disk. In addition, the word processor device converts the document file format of the word processor to the Teletex format.
Since the configuration is such that a Teletex additional device including a Teletex communication means and a file control means is connected to the external expansion disk board 1, this Teletex additional device can be connected to any word processor to operate the Teletex terminal device. There are effects that can be configured. Additionally, the software for teletexing can be simplified.
