Abstract

PURPOSE:To transfer an exact picture information by storing the received picture information in a storage device, and transmitting the stored picture information, as it is, at the time of transferring it. CONSTITUTION:A transmitter-receiver which transmits and receives the picture information, the storage device 3, which stores the picture information to be transmitted by the said transmitter-receiver and the received picture information, a displaying device 4, which displays the stored picture information in the storage device 3, and a controlling device 1, which searches the picture information according to an information related to the picture information, and simultaneously controls the transmitter-receiver, the storage device 3 and the displaying device 4, are provided. Because the received picture information is stored in the storage device 3, and the stored picture information is transmitted as it is when it is transmitted, the exact picture information, as it is received, can be transmitted without the deterioration of a picture quality. Besides, because the received picture information can be searched by the controlling device 1, the picture information, desired to see, can be conveniently seen. Further, the control of the picture is easy, and the picture information is never lost and stained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention transmits, receives, and transfers image information via a telephone line, and efficiently manages and transmits image information.
The present invention relates to a facsimile device that can be stored and referenced.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional facsimile machines use paper originals to input image information to be transmitted, and also output received image information directly onto paper at the same time as receiving it.

Furthermore, when transferring the received image information, the received and output image is then input as a transmission document. All sent and received image information is classified, managed, and stored as paper files, and in order to view them, users must search and refer to paper manuscripts and output sheets stored in files. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, when the received and output image is input as a transmission document for further transmission, the image quality deteriorates significantly due to the sensor characteristics of the input device and the resolution limitations of facsimile images, making it difficult to transmit the image information. However, this method has a problem in that it may not be able to be performed satisfactorily.

In addition, with paper files, it takes a lot of time and effort to search for the necessary information when the number of images increases, and manuscripts and output paper that are viewed frequently are easily lost or damaged. It also had some problems.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, a facsimile device according to the present invention is a facsimile device that transmits image information via a telephone line, and includes a transmitting and receiving device that transmits and receives image information, and image information that is transmitted by the transmitting and receiving device. and a storage device that stores the received image information; a display device that displays the image information stored in the storage device; and a display device that searches for image information based on information related to the image information; The present invention is characterized by comprising a control device that controls the display device.

[For production]

With the above configuration, the received image information is stored in the storage device, and when it is transferred, the stored image information is sent as is, so the image quality does not deteriorate and the exact image information as received is transmitted. Can be transferred. Also,
Since the received image information can be searched by the control device, the image information that the user wants to view can be referenced frequently. Furthermore, management of image information is easy, and there is no risk of image information being lost or damaged.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, a processor unit 1 that is a control device includes a modem 2 that is a transmitting and receiving device that transmits and receives image information via a telephone line, a storage device 3 that stores image information, etc. A display device 4 for displaying an image and a keyboard 5 for inputting commands to the processor unit 1 are connected.

The above-mentioned processor unit 1 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer and its peripheral circuits, and searches for image information using information related to image information stored in a storage device 3, as well as a modem 2, a storage device 3, and a display device 4.
control and transfer image information between devices, and
It is designed to perform man-machine interface processing with the operator.

In the above configuration, the processing performed by the processor unit 1 will be described below based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the SO is in a standby state without performing any processing until a call is made from the telephone line or a transmission command or display command is input from the keyboard 5.

Therefore, if a call is made from the telephone line, the system transfers the image information sent via the telephone line to the modem 2.
Receive at. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the processor unit 1 adds attribute data such as the date and time of reception and a serial number to the image information and stores it in the storage device 3 (S2), and returns to SO.

On the other hand, when a display command is input from the keyboard 5 at SO, the process moves to S3, where attribute data etc. added to the image information are read from the storage device 3 and displayed on the display device 4 as shown in FIG. and accepts the selection of image information to be displayed. Therefore, when image information is selected by, for example, inputting a serial number from the keyboard 5, the image information is searched, read from the storage device 3, and displayed on the display device 4.
4), return to So.

Incidentally, the selection of the above image information is usually based on the image information.
It is also possible to display a plurality of partial images at the top in which titles and the like exist on a display device, and to select based on them.

Further, when a transmission command is input from the keyboard 5 at SO, the process moves to S5, where attribute data and the like are displayed in the same manner as in S3 above, and selection of image information to be transmitted is accepted. When image information is selected, the image information is read from the storage device 3, transferred to the modem 2, and transmitted via the telephone line (S6), and then returns to SO. Here, previously received image information can be selected as the image information to be transmitted, and in this case, the image information can be transferred accurately as received without degrading the image quality.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the facsimile device according to the present invention is a facsimile device that transmits image information via a telephone line, and includes a transmitting and receiving device that transmits and receives image information, image information that is transmitted by this transmitting and receiving device, and image information that is received. a display device that displays the image information stored in the storage device; a display device that searches for image information based on information related to the image information and controls the transmitting/receiving device, the storage device, and the display device; The configuration includes a control device. As a result, the received image information is stored in the storage device, and when it is transferred, the stored image information is sent as is, so the image quality does not deteriorate and the exact image information as received is transferred. be able to. Furthermore, since the received image information can be searched by the control device, the image information that the user wants to view can be easily and efficiently referenced. Furthermore, image information can be easily managed, and there is no risk of image information being lost or damaged.
