Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily synthesize two originals, and to transmit them as a bit of image information, by magnifying the quantity of a bit of temporarily accumulated image information almost to the size of a sheet of original by a temporary memory and a merge circuit, and storing the bit of image information to be synthesized in advance in a frame memory. CONSTITUTION:The binary-coded image signal (a) of the first original read at a read part 2 by the original read request signal 12 of a terminal control part l, is inputted to a line buffer 3, and its output signal (b) is changed to an image signal (c) at a coding part 4 by a temporary save request signal 141, then being stored on a temporary memory 5. Naxt, a decoding Part 6 fetches a coded image signal (d) from the memory 5 by a restoration request signal 16, and a decoded image signal (e) is stored at a frame memory 7. A bit of stored information is outputted as an output signal (f) based on an output request 17. Also, the image signal (g) of the second original is outputted from the read part 2 by the original read request signal 12. The product sum of those signals (f) and (g) is taken at a merge circuit 11, and it is fetched in the line buffer 3 as a synthesized image signal (h). A synthesized image signal (i) modulates a transmission image signal (k) in order by a communication control signal 19 at a modem 9 through a coding part 4, and a line buffer 8, and transmits it to a line.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) Is the present invention a simple image 1y editing effect yokochoju? The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

(Prior Art) In facsimile communication, sender record information such as the device 1LI1) and sending time is printed on the received document at the same time as it is created on the receiving side.

In other words, in the sending facsimile machine, before reading the document, the operator sets it and creates a record of the sender's information such as the next ID and sending time, and sends it to the destination, and the receiving facsimile machine records it as if it were a single recorded page. The image information is configured so that different image information is combined.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventional facsimile machines have an original 412 i
Since the image information of the Jt R1 part, line buffer, encoding part, and line pap r1 motem is transmitted in close proximity to each other, there is a drawback that the two pieces of image information cannot be combined on the transmitting side.

The purpose of the present invention is to send two originals 411? An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine which can combine images and transmit them as one image -1II+' information.

(Measures to Solve the Problems) In order to achieve the above objectives, the facsimile machine according to the present invention has the following information:
A reading unit that outputs the # information and image information k from the reading unit
A line buffer that stores and outputs the image information in units of one line, an encoding unit that encodes and outputs the output from the line buffer, and sends the encoded image information to the line, and image information from the line? A line buffer and a modem for receiving, a decoding unit that decodes and outputs image information from the line buffer, a frame memory that stores k1 pages of image information output from the decoding unit, and a frame memory that stores k1 pages of image information output from the frame memory. A terminal that performs communication between a recording unit that outputs the restored original image on recording paper and an external F terminal that controls the flow of the image information and the line buffer and modem. In a facsimile machine consisting of a control section, a temporary memory and a merge circuit are provided,
The certain frame information read through the reading section r and encoded by the encoding section is stored in the temporary memory and decoded by the decoding section, so that one fraction of the frame information is stored in the frame memory. loading the next document by the reading unit and reading certain image information stored in the frame memory at the same timing;
The merge circuit is configured to combine the images and send them to the line buffer, thereby transmitting a composite image of the two originals.

(Example) DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

The first factor is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. This packing example includes a number of sections 11, reading section 2, line buffer 3, encoding section 4, temporary memory 5, decoding section 6, frame memory 7, line buffer 8,
It includes a modem 9, a recording section 1O, and a merge circuit 11.

The reading unit 2 reads the information from the terminal control unit 1.
According to f12, scanning 9 of the first original is started and a binarized image signal at is output. When the terminal control s1 is image 1 dust information to be combined, it sends a temporary save request signal 141? to the encoding unit 4. ] - Output. The encoding unit 4 takes in the binary image signal of the first document output from the line buffer 3 in accordance with the temporary save request code 141 from the terminal control unit 1 and encodes it. The encoded image signal C is stored in the temporary memory 5.

Next, the terminal side? [11m1 sends a restoration request signal 16g to the decoding unit 6 for restoring the information in the temporary memory 5. The decoding section 6 takes in the encoded image signal dt of the first document stored in the temporary memory 5 in accordance with the first document restoration request signal 16 from the terminal system a section 1 and decodes it. The decoded image signal e is stored in the frame memory 7.

Next, a description will be given of how to read the original @2, which is to be transmitted by combining the image information in the frame memory 7.

The image information of the first document stored in the frame memory 7 is output as an output signal f based on an output request 17 from the terminal control s1. Since the terminal control section l outputs the document reading request signal 12 in synchronization with this cutting element 17, the image signal g of the second document is output from the reading section 2 at the same time. These image signals g and h are logically summed in a merge circuit 11 and sent to the line buffer 3 via SV as a composite image signal.

The composite image signal & taken into the line buffer 3 is sent to the encoding unit 4 in accordance with the encoding request 142 for the composite image signal − from the terminal control unit 1, and is an encoded image signal decoded by the encoding unit 4. j is output to the line buffer 8.

The terminal control unit 1 outputs the communication system # signal 19 to the modem 9 and outputs lj1%! According to the communication control signal g19, the modem 9 extracts the transmission image 181 from the line buffer 8, modulates it, and transmits it to the line.

Figure 2 shows the operation of the embodiment shown in Figure 1? A time chart for explanation shows the relationship between each signal in which the image information of the first original and the image information of the second original are combined. m indicates the horizontal synchronizing signal 7, which is synchronized with m and at a certain point in time, the image signal F of the l-th original (the digit number f in FIG. 1) and the second
The image signal MG (signal g in FIG. 1) of the zero original is logically summed, and the resulting synthesized image signal H (signal h of the first factor) is output.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, the facsimile device according to the present invention has a temporary memory and a merging circuit as hardware, and can temporarily store image information up to the amount of one document. By storing the image information to be enlarged and assembled in the frame memory in advance, the new ah
There are also images that can be composed of other images with the taken manuscript.
This has the effect of allowing you to easily implement the collection function.
