Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce risk to generate a memory overflow, by reducing the quantity of a bit of information by accumulating and storing the bit of information with a rough linear density more than a designated linear density, when it is discriminated that no allowance is left in the remainder of an image information storing memory, considering the linear density of an original designated to transmit, the number and the size of original. CONSTITUTION:At an operating part 1, a display unit to urge an operation, and a switch to accept an input, are provided. The original is read by an original reading part 2, and is converted to the bit of image information. In a transmission, when the number of sheets of originals, the linear density, and a bit of destination information are inputted at the operat ing part 1, a control part 5 calculates a memory capacity required for the accumulation of the original, form bits of those information, and the bit of information read out from an opposite equipment capacity information file 4, and compares it with the vacant capacity in an image information storting memory 3. As a result, when the capacity of the image information storing memory is larger and the calculated capacity of the memory is larger, the bit of image information is sorted in the image information storing memory 3 with the designated linear density and with the rough linear density more than the designated linear density, respectively. And at the completing time of the accumulation and a storage, the bit of image information is transmitted to the opposite equipment through the use of a commu nication control part 6, and a line control part 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile device capable of sequential broadcast communication.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of facsimile machine stores and transmits data at the linear density specified at the time of transmission, if the recipient's V7C device is capable of recording at the linear density specified at the time of transmission.

(A point that the invention is still trying to solve) Therefore, if the linear density specified at the time of transmission is stored, if the contents of the entire document cannot be stored in the image information memory, it will be inputted. A memory overflow occurs before the data is completely stored, making it impossible to send it to Zenhara Fukukai at once. Another disadvantage is that there are restrictions on the operation of storing image information in the image information memory.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine which can reduce the risk of memory overflow and reduce operational constraints associated with storing image information in memory.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the facsimile device according to the present invention is a facsimile device that is capable of taking original documents, converting them into image information, accumulating and storing the information, and transmitting it in subsequent broadcasts. , a document reading unit that reads a document and converts it into image information, an operation unit for inputting, etc., a partner capability information file that is stored based on the capability of the partner device based on communication history, an image information storage memory, and a communication device. A communication control unit that performs procedural control, a line control unit that controls outgoing and incoming calls to the line, and information obtained from the number of original sheets, line density, destination information, and partner device capability information file input from the operation unit. From the opponent's VC okbe force, the memory capacity required for document storage - pH'! If the image information storage memory capacity is smaller than the calculated memory capacity, the image information is stored and stored at a line density coarser than that which can be recorded in the direction of the main direction and the sub-way direction of the other device, and then the data is transmitted. It is composed of a control section and a control section.

(Example) The present invention with reference to the drawings below? I will explain in more detail.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention.

The operation gl is equipped with an indicator for prompting the operation and a switch for accepting large force.

The original is read by the original S reading section 2 and converted into image information. The image information is stored in the image information storage memory 3 via the control section 5. The partner device capability information file 4 stores the capabilities of the partner device obtained from the communication history.

The communication control unit 6 controls the communication procedure, and the line control unit 7 performs control over the line for sending and receiving calls.

When transmitting, the number of originals, line density, and destination information are input from the operation unit 1.

The control unit 5 calculates the memory capacity required for document storage from this information and the capacity of the other device's ability information file 4, and uses this calculated memory capacity and the image information storage memory. 3 free space? compare.

As a result of the comparison, if 8N of the image information storage memory is larger than the calculated memory capacity, image information is stored in the image information storage memory 3 at the designated linear density.

Conversely, if the calculated memory capacity is large, image information is stored in lines coarser than the specified nine-line density.

When the storage is completed, the communication control section 6 and line control section 7 transmit the image information to the other party's device.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, the present invention provides a method that allows the line density of the specified document to be transmitted to be 8 degrees and the document If it is determined that there is not enough remaining space in the image information storage memory considering the number of sheets and original size, the image information storage memory will be stored at a line density coarser than the specified line density, reducing the amount of information and using the capacity of the image information storage memory. can be reduced.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the risk of memory overflow, which has the effect of reducing operational restrictions associated with storage of image information in the memory.
