Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile unsent original processing method in which unsent originals are received by the receiving section of the own station in facsimile broadcasting.

When transmitting a manuscript with the same content to a large number of receiving stations during facsimile transmission, a so-called simulator is used in which the transmitted manuscript is temporarily stored and the stored documents are transmitted to the receiving stations one after another, for example, in chronological order. information system is used. In this facsimile broadcasting system, a plurality of documents are stored in the storage device of the broadcasting device and sent again, but there are cases where the originals remain unsent due to a failure of the destination terminal or the like. In such a case, if the document remains in the storage device, the next input document may not be able to be stored due to the storage capacity. In addition, in order to retransmit the document, it is necessary to output the unsent document once from the storage device. Therefore, it has been proposed that when an unsent original document is received, it is sent to and received by the receiving section of the own station, without transmitting it to the line. However, if the document is simply received by the receiving unit, data such as the destination will not be displayed on the received document. Therefore, it becomes necessary to record data such as the destination using a separate monitoring typewriter or the like. However, if this is done, the contents of the original and data such as the address will be recorded separately, which will be inconvenient in handling.

This invention was made with these points in mind. When an unsent document occurs during transmission, the received document is displayed in the receiving section of the own station, displaying the contents of the transmitted document together with data such as the destination. so that you can get it,
This invention provides a facsimile unsent document processing method that facilitates handling during retransmission.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a facsimile device for broadcasting, 2 is a broadcasting device, and facsimile device 1
consists of a transmitter 1A and a receiver 1B. The transmitting section 1A includes an image sending section 4 which inputs the original document 3 and converts it into a black and white electrical signal, a compression section 5 which sends the signal from the image sending section 4 as compressed data to the broadcasting device 2, and further the broadcasting device 2. a modulator 6 that modulates the transmission signal from the
It consists of a network control section 8 that guides the signal from the modulation section 6 to a line 7. On the other hand, the reception section 1B includes a network control section 10 that guides the signal from the line 9, a demodulation section 11 that demodulates the received signal, and an expansion section 1 that expands the compressed signal.
2. An image receiving section 14 takes out this expanded signal as a received original 13. Furthermore, broadcast device 2
is an input section 15 that inputs the signal from the transmitting section 1A;
A storage section 16 that stores this input signal, a communication control section 17 that guides the output from this storage section 16 to the transmission section 1A, and a storage section 16 that corresponds to unsent documents.
an output section 18 that guides the output of the output to the receiving section 1B, a communication control section 17, a storage section 16, an arithmetic control section 19 that controls the output section 18, etc., and an operation for inputting destination data of an unsent original into the storage section 16. It consists of part 20.

In such a configuration, first, when a transmission document 3 is input, it is converted into a black and white signal by an image sending section 4, compressed by a compression section 5 as necessary, and sent to a broadcasting device 2.
send to In the broadcasting device 2 , the signal (document content) input via the input section 15 is stored in the storage section 16 . At this time, the data entered by the operator, such as the destination, transmission time, serial number, etc.
It is stored in the storage unit 16 from 0. These storage units 1
The input to 6 is controlled by an arithmetic control section 19. That is, as shown in FIG. 2A, the storage unit 16 stores data such as the destination and image data of the contents of the original each time a transmission original is input. At the time of transmission, this stored signal is taken out and sent to the transmitting section 1A via the communication control section 17 according to instructions from the arithmetic control section 19. The transmitter 1A modulates this signal and sends it to the network controller 1.
8 to line 7.

By the way, when a transmission document is not transmitted due to a failure of the destination terminal, etc., the stored contents of the unsent document are guided from the storage section 16 to the output section 18 according to instructions from the calculation control section 19, and the contents are transferred to the reception section 1B. send to
At this time, data such as the destination of the unsent document, document input time, and serial number are also retrieved from the storage unit 16. In response to this, the receiving unit 1B expands the signal, which is compressed data, and the image receiving unit 14 converts it into characters and other symbols, which are displayed on the original 13. That is, on the output document 13 at this time, data such as the destination, transmission time, etc., and the contents of the document are displayed as shown in FIG. 2b. As an example of displaying this output document 13, for example, predetermined data such as the address can be fixed, the lower part of the corresponding character can be painted black, and only variable parts such as the time can be displayed each time. Small capacity is required.

If there is an unsent document in this way, the document is added with data such as the destination and is taken out as an output document by the receiving section of the own station. Therefore, it is not only clear that there is an unsent manuscript, but also the contents of the manuscript, as well as data such as destination and sending time, are displayed all at once, making it very easy to handle when resending. It becomes convenient. In other words, the contents of the document and the data such as the address are not extracted separately, and there is no need for a typewriter or the like for the data such as the address.

Note that the receiving section 1B guides the incoming signal from the normal line 9 via the network control section 10, demodulates it in the demodulating section 11,
An output document 13 is obtained through the extension section 12 and the image receiving section 14.

Further, in the embodiment, the data is compressed and expanded for transmission and reception, but this process is not necessarily necessary.

As described above, according to the present invention, when performing facsimile broadcasting, when unsent manuscripts occur,
Add destination data, etc., and output to the receiving section of your own station.
A facsimile unsent document processing method can be provided that can make subsequent processing very convenient.
