Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image transmitting device having a function of creating sentences using a numeric keypad, alphabet/key keys, etc.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Facsimile machines equipped with alphabet keys have been known in the past, but these alphabet keys have been mainly used only as one-touch dial keys.

In other words, conventional facsimile machines do not have a function to create sentences using alphabet keys or the like.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In this way, conventional facsimile machines did not have the ability to create sentences using numeric keys, alphabet keys, etc., so even when sending simple sentences, it was necessary to write the necessary sentences on paper before transmitting them. I had to.

In addition, if the other party's facsimile machine is set to automatic call receiving mode and the other party's operator does not answer when you call, for example, "Mr. A, please call me. B 03-123-4321 j" There are cases where sentences such as these are transmitted by facsimile. However, even these frequently used sentences had to be written on paper and transmitted each time.

Furthermore, in sentences like the one above, “A” who is the communication destination
is often changed as appropriate. Moreover, there was a drawback that only texts written in thousands of ancient characters could be transmitted unless a word processor or the like was used.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to store an image as a basic sentence in advance, change the necessary clauses in the sentence to complete the sentence, and then transmit an image. The goal is to provide equipment.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, in an image transmitting device that transmits image information, a storage means for storing a text including specific code information;
a display means for reading out and displaying the text stored in advance in the storage means;

A writing control means is provided for writing desired code information into a portion of the text displayed on the display means that corresponds to the specific code information, and the created document is sent out alone or together with the image information.

The signal line 2d is a telephone line. This Net12 inputs the signal of the signal line 2Eia, and if this signal level is "0", connects the telephone line to the telephone side (that is, the signal line 2a and the signal line 2b side). The signal on the signal line 28a is input, and if the signal level is "1", the telephone line is connected to the facsimile machine side (that is, the signal line 2a is connected to the signal line 2C side).Under normal conditions, the telephone line is , connected to the phone side.

4 is a telephone.

6 is a hybrid circuit that separates a transmission system signal and a reception system signal. That is, the transmission signal on the signal line 12a is sent out to the telephone line via the signal line 2C and NCH3. In addition, the signal sent from the other party is
3 and signal line 2C to signal line 6a.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a reading circuit which sequentially reads image signals for one line in the main scanning direction from the transmitted original and creates a signal string representing binary values of white and black. This reading circuit 8 is composed of an image pickup device such as a COD (charge coupled device) and an optical system. and,
The signal string that has been binarized into white and black is output to the signal line 8a.

10 is an encoding circuit. This encoding circuit 10 inputs the signal on the signal line 2[1e, and this signal level is "0".
In this case, the binarized data output to the signal line 8a is input. Also, the signal level of the signal line 26e is “
1, the data output to the signal line 2fld is input. Then, the input data is encoded [MH (Modified Huffman) encoding or MR (Modified Read) encoding] and the encoded data is output to the signal line 10a.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a modulator that performs modulation based on the well-known (CI7 Recommendation V2, 7ter (differential phase modulation) or V23 (quadrature modulation).
A signal is input, modulation is performed, and the modulated data is sent to signal line 1.

14 is a demodulator that performs demodulation based on the well-known (7) CCITT recommendation V27ter (differential phase modulation) or v28 (quadrature modulation). This demodulator 14 has a signal line 6a
input the signal, demodulate it, and send the demodulated data to the signal line 14.
Output to a.

16 is a circuit that inputs the demodulated data output to the signal line 14a and outputs the decoded data (MH (Modified Huffman) decoded or MR (Modified Read) decoded data to the signal line lea).

18 is a recording circuit that inputs decoded data (signal of signal line tea) and sequentially records each line of white and black signals. Also, when a pulse occurs on the signal line 26c, the signal on the signal line 28d is input, and the output becomes white.

The black signal is sequentially recorded line by line. That is, the stored sentences and the like are recorded.

20 is an operation section. When the alphabet keys A to Z included in this operation section are pressed, a signal indicating this is output to the signal line 20a. Further, when the numeric keys O to 9, the main key, and the # key are pressed, a signal indicating this is output to the signal line 20b. Furthermore, when a start key, function key, "?" key, or cursor movement key is pressed, a signal indicating this is output to the signal line 20c.

22 is the left and right 1 of the line where the cursor is currently located
0 characters and ? in the sentence? This is a display section that displays the text of the inquiry corresponding to ゛. Information for 10 characters on the left and right of the line where the cursor is currently located, or an inquiry text corresponding to "?°" in the text is output to the signal line 213b.

24 is a text storage circuit which is battery backed up. This circuit stores sentences corresponding to predetermined abbreviations. When writing this abbreviation and the corresponding sentence into the sentence memory circuit 24, write the abbreviation (for example, r ? J) and the zero sentence (for example, ``?
321 J) After outputting the controller data to the signal line 24a, a write pulse is generated on the signal i2Bg.

Further, when reading data registered in the text storage circuit 24, after outputting data indicating an abbreviation (for example, r?J) to the signal line 24a, a read pulse is generated on the signal line 2Elf. Then, its abbreviation (for example, rTEI,
'? Sentences registered corresponding to J) (for example, “?

Ding EL → 03-123-4321 J) is signal line 24
It is output to a.

26 is a control circuit that controls the operations described below.

First, we will explain the operations for creating a sentence via the operation section and storing it. The operator presses the "Function" key followed by the "3" key, thereby creating a mode in which a sentence is created and memorized in response to a certain key operation (from now on, we will consider pressing an abbreviation key). Select 0 Next, press the abbreviation. Then, press the "Function" key.

Next, press the numeric keypad, the 9 alphabet keys, the # key, and the ? Create a sentence using the keys and cursor movement keys. When you have finished creating the sentence, press the "Function" key.

When recording the memorized sentence corresponding to the abbreviation on the recording paper, press the "Function" key.

Continuously press the "W" key, abbreviated as "Function" key.

In addition, when transmitting the text stored in correspondence with the abbreviation to the other party's device, after connecting the line, press the "abbreviation" key and press the key for 1 inquiry (the text of the inquiry is
) displayed on the LCD of the operation section, and then press the "Start" key.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the control procedure to be executed by the control circuit 26 shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, it is assumed that a signal of signal level rQJ is outputted to the signal line 28a as an initial state, and the telephone line is connected to the telephone side. Moreover, in the signal line 2ee,
Outputs a signal with signal level "0". In other words, the selection is such that information read from the original is transmitted.

In step S30, it is determined whether the mode for creating a sentence corresponding to the abbreviation has been selected, that is, whether the "Function" key "3" has been pressed (the signal line 20
(b, determined by inputting the signal on the signal line 20c) is determined. When the mode for creating sentences corresponding to abbreviations is selected, that is, when the "Function" and "3" keys are pressed.

The process proceeds to step S32. On the other hand, if the mode for creating a sentence corresponding to the abbreviation is not selected, that is, if the "Function" key "3" is not pressed, the process proceeds to step S34.

In step S32, a sentence (a part of the sentence can be made variable) is created corresponding to the abbreviation. So, first, key in the abbreviation from the operation section. Key in J. When you have finished inputting the abbreviation, press the "Function" key. Next, press the numeric keypad and alphabet keys included in the operation section.

*key, # key, cursor movement key, ? Create a sentence using the keys 0 For example, "?
21 Create the sentence J. The control circuit 26 determines the human power of these keys by inputting signals from the signal lines 20a, 20b, and 20c.

Further, information for 10 characters on the left and right of the line where the cursor is located is output to the signal line 28b.

Then, when the "Function" key is pressed, the created sentence corresponding to the abbreviation is memorized.

Specifically, the control circuit 26 outputs a signal representing the "abbreviation" tree "sentence" to the signal line 24a, and then generates a write pulse to the signal line 28g. In this way, the one-sentence storage circuit 24 stores the abbreviation and the corresponding sentence.

In step S34, it is determined whether or not a mode for recording a sentence created corresponding to the abbreviation on the recording paper has been selected, that is, "function", "abbreviation" (for example,
) r function" It is determined whether the "W" key has been pressed continuously (determined by inputting the signals of signal line 20a, signal line 2 (lb, signal line 20c).Sentence corresponding to abbreviation If the mode to record is selected,
In other words, if the "Function""Abbreviation""Function""W" key is pressed continuously, step 93
Proceed to B. On the other hand, if the mode for recording the sentence corresponding to the abbreviation is not selected, that is, "Function"
"Abbreviation""Function" If the "W" key is not pressed continuously, the process advances to step S38.

In step S3[1, a sentence corresponding to the abbreviation (a sentence created so that a part of the sentence can be made variable) is recorded. That is, the signal line 24a has an abbreviated name (for example, r?
After outputting a signal representing J), a read pulse is generated on the signal line 28f. Then, a sentence created corresponding to the signal of the signal line 24a, that is, the abbreviation (for example, [? (Aite Saki Shimei) Samaden Wa Woku Dasai, B Place → 0
3-123-4321 J) is input to the control circuit 26. After outputting a sentence corresponding to this abbreviation to the signal line 28d, a pulse is generated to the signal line 28c.

In step S38, it is determined whether or not a mode for transmitting a sentence corresponding to the abbreviation (a sentence created with a structure in which a part of the sentence can be made variable) has been selected, that is, the "abbreviation" (
For example, r setting? J) was pressed (signal line 20a
, 20b, 20c) is determined. If the mode for transmitting the text created corresponding to the abbreviation is not selected, that is, if "abbreviation" (for example, "Place?J") is not pressed, step S30
On the other hand, if the mode for transmitting the text created corresponding to the abbreviation is selected, that is, if the "abbreviation" (for example, R?J) is pressed, the following control is performed.

First, after outputting the abbreviation to the signal line 24a, the signal line 28F
Generates a read pulse. Then, the signal on the signal line 24a, that is, the sentence created corresponding to the abbreviation is input.

Then, the control circuit 26 becomes ``? After detecting the message, send the text in parentheses (for example, “Aite Saki Shimei”) to the signal line 28.
b and displayed on the display unit 22. Now, suppose that the operator presses "A" (A represents his/her name) and then presses the start key.
Proceed to 40.

When proceeding to step S40, a signal of signal level rlJ is output to the signal line 26a, and the telephone line is connected to the facsimile machine side.

Step 940 represents a pre-procedure.

In step S42, a sentence corresponding to the abbreviation (a sentence created so that a part of the sentence can be made variable) is transmitted. That is, for the signal on the signal line 24a, "?" and "the information in parentheses ゛" are changed to the key-entered information and output to the signal line 28d.Specifically, the "?" Changed to II A 11. Then, on the signal line 28d, there is a message that says,
B Place → Outputs the sentence 03-123-4321j. In addition, before image transmission, a signal with a signal level "1" is output to the signal line 213e, and the encoding circuit 10
6d signal is input and controlled to be encoded. Further, when the transmission of the text is completed, a signal of signal level "0" is output to the signal line 2fie, and the information read from the original is set to be transmitted.

Step S44 represents a post-procedure. When the post-procedure is completed, a signal of signal level "0" is output to the signal line 213a, and the telephone line is connected to the telephone side.

In the embodiments described so far, the case where there is one sentence to be corrected has been explained as an example, but the same control can be performed even when there are a plurality of sentences.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, frequently used sentences can be memorized in advance, and the sentences can be completed by modifying or adding only the necessary parts. This makes it possible to transmit the required text alone or together with other image information to the other party's device.

That is, since the date, time, name, etc. contained in the text can be changed arbitrarily by conversational key operations, it becomes possible to use the memorized text more effectively. Furthermore, since the characters are transmitted in a predetermined typeface, a transmission image that is very easy to see can be obtained.
