Abstract

PURPOSE:To send a data in matching with a characteristic of an opposite terminal equipment by providing a teletex terminal equipment and a facsimile terminal equipment in one device so as to identify automatically whether a reception opposite party is a teletex terminal equipment or a facsimile terminal equipment. CONSTITUTION:In a teletex MODEM 4 and a facsimile MODEM 5, when a carrier corresponding to a MODEM of each terminal equipment is received, the carrier detection signal of each MODEM is turned on. In this case, when the carrier detection signal outputted from the teletex MODEM 4 in the teletex procedure control section 6 to be turned on is detected, the opposite side is recognized to be the teletex terminal equipment and the succeeding procedure control is progressed by the teletex procedure control section 6. On the other hand, in the facsimile procedure control section 7, the carrier detection signal outputted from the facsimile MODEM 5 to be turned on is detected, when the opposite party is recognized to be a facsimile terminal equipment and the succeeding procedure control is advanced by the facsimile procedure control section 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a terminal for a data communication device, and more particularly to an automated composite terminal having a teletex terminal and a facsimile terminal in one device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a teletex terminal and a facsimile terminal have been made as separate terminals, and it has been impossible, for example, to directly send data from a teletex terminal to a facsimile terminal.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned conventional teletex terminals and facsimile terminals have completely different transmission control procedures and structures of transmitted data.

Character data created on a Teletex terminal etc. could not be sent directly to a facsimile terminal.

For example, there is a drawback in that it is necessary to resend what has been output on recording paper from the facsimile terminal once again on the sending side.

It is an object of the present invention to have a teletex terminal and a facsimile terminal in one device, and when the called party starts transmitting a modem carrier signal in an attempt to transmit a response signal in the two-procedure signal transmission/reception phase, both terminals Please monitor this at the same time.

When the carrier of a teletex terminal modem is detected, it is determined that it is a teletex, and when the carrier of a facsimile terminal modem is detected, it is determined that it is a facsimile, thereby eliminating the above drawback and making teletex and facsimile compatible. The object of the present invention is to provide a composite terminal configured to have the ability to

(Means for Solving the Problems) A composite terminal according to the present invention comprises a teletex procedure control/modem means, a facsimile procedure/modem means, a separation/recognition means, and an adaptive conversion/transmission means. This is what I did.

The teletex procedure control/modem means is for functioning as a teletex terminal.

The facsimile procedure control/modem means is for functioning as a facsimile terminal.

The recognition/separation means detects/recognizes whether the recipient terminal is a Teletex terminal or a facsimile terminal when sending facsimile image data or Teletex character data, and then cuts the signal. It is for dividing.

The adaptive conversion/transmission means is for adaptively converting the transmission data in accordance with the destination terminal and transmitting the data.

(Example) Next, nine aspects of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

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

In FIG. 1, 1 is a line, 2 is a network control unit, 3 is a signal disconnector, 4 is a teletex modem, 5 is a facsimile modem, 6 is a teletex procedure control unit, and T is a facsimile hand/ 8 is a character data input section; 9 is a character/image conversion section;

10 is a facsimile encoding unit, 11 is an image data input unit,
100 is an image processing means, and 200i-1 and 200i-1 are processing means.

When this device makes a call, the modem carrier sent from the other party via line 1 passes through the network control section 2), and the signal is separated through the device 3 and then connected to the teletex modem 4. It is simultaneously input to the facsimile modem 5. When the teletex modem 4 and the facsimile modem 5 receive the carrier corresponding to the modem of each terminal,
Each modem's carrier detect signal is turned on. At this time.

If the teletex procedure control unit 6 detects that the carrier detection signal output from the teletex modem 4 is on, it recognizes that the other party is a teletex terminal, and the subsequent procedure control is performed by teletex. The procedure is proceeded by the procedure control unit 6.

On the other hand, if the facsimile procedure control unit T detects that the carrier detection signal output from the facsimile modem 5 is on, it recognizes that the other party is a facsimile terminal, and controls the subsequent procedures under facsimile procedure control. Proceed with section T.

Is the other party's terminal a Teletex terminal?

Or after recognizing that it is a facsimile terminal.

If the data to be sent is character data input from the character input section 8 and the other party is a Teletex terminal,
Send the signal as is.

On the other hand, if the other party is a facsimile terminal, the character/image converter 9 converts the character data into a bit pattern, and then inputs the data to the facsimile encoder 10.
Send it to the other party as a facsimile.

On the other hand, if the data to be sent is image data input in the image data input section 11 and the other party is using a facsimile,
The data is sent as is, but if the other party is a Teletex terminal, it is not possible to uniquely convert the image data into character data, so the operator is notified of this fact.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention has a teletex terminal and a facsimile terminal in one device, so that it is possible to determine whether the receiving party is a teletex terminal or not.

Another advantage is that it is possible to automatically identify whether it is a facsimile terminal and to transmit data in accordance with the characteristics of the other party's terminal.
