Description

Handwriting method for sending facsimile document

The present invention relates to a method of operating a facsimile document, and more particularly, to stop transmission at a predetermined position of one side of the original to be transmitted so that the next page side can be transmitted, or to terminate the original transmission at a predetermined position of one side of the original. The present invention relates to a facsimile document transmission operation method in which the facsimile convenience is improved.

In general, to send an original via fax, dial the fax number of the destination to be sent, and then press the Start key when a response tone is received. When the recognition signal of the receiving destination is detected by the exchange, there is a method of performing an original transmission.

Regardless of which of these methods is employed, the fax basically has a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, referring to FIG. 1, a conventional facsimile machine stores a central processing unit 2 for controlling a facsimile system according to a predetermined program, and stores program data, protocol data, and character data. Memory unit 3 for accessing or storing data under control, and a plurality of keys capable of generating facsimile key data, for example, * key 11, #key 12, start key 13 OPE (Operating Panel Equipment) 1 having a display device capable of inputting the key data to the central processing unit 2 and displaying the display data of the central processing unit 2 when the key data is generated. An image sensor 8 such as a CCD for reading data and outputting photoelectric conversion, a scanning unit 6 for providing the central processing unit 2 with image data photoelectrically converted from the image sensor 8, and a central processing unit ( 2) Central treatment plant under control Encoding and decoding the modem 4 for analog-modulating and outputting the output data of (2) and demodulating and outputting the analog receiving input, the image data output from the scanning section 6 and the image data received and output from the modem 4. A PSTN line interface which is operated under the control of the signal processing unit 9 and the central processing unit 2 to form a call loop of a telephone line and to interface the signal of the modem 4 with the signal of the telephone line. And a printer 7 for printing the received data by the control signal of the unit 5 and the central processing unit 2.

The facsimile machine configured as described above reads the image information of the original through the image sensor 8 and the scanning unit 6 and stores the image information in the memory 3 to print through the printer 7 or to operate the modem 4. In the conventional document transmission method, the image signal processing and the transmission are performed for the entire content of the original, so that only a predetermined part of the original content in one page cannot be transmitted. For example, conventionally, when sending a facsimile document, there has been an inconvenience of having to wait until scanning image information of one entire surface in order to transmit only a few lines required in the document contents. As another example, some pages may be full of content, and some pages may have to wait until all the pages are scanned, regardless of the content, even if you are sending multiple document manuscripts whose contents are only slightly above the page. There was a problem.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, so that the next page surface can be transmitted by stopping transmission at a predetermined position on one side of the original to be transmitted, or end the original transmission at a predetermined position on one side of the original. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for transmitting a fax original, which greatly reduces the fax transmission waiting time.

In order to achieve the above object, the method for transmitting a facsimile document according to the present invention,

In the method for controlling the operation of sending a fax original,

It is characterized in that it comprises the step of generating an end of message or an end of page signal by the user's selection while the original is being sent and ending the original transmission.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the page termination message signal may be achieved by a key provided in the OPE, for example, a * key, a # key, and the like.

In addition, in the method for operating and controlling the transmission of a facsimile manuscript of another embodiment of the present invention,

It is characterized in that it comprises the step of generating a one-page end message signal at the user's choice while the facsimile document is being transmitted, thereby terminating transmission of the corresponding page being transmitted and allowing the transmission of the next page to proceed.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the one page end message signal may be achieved by a key provided in the OPE, for example, a * key, a # key, and the like.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the transmission operation method of the facsimile document according to the present invention.

The method for operating a facsimile original according to the present invention is to stop the transmission at a predetermined position on one side of the original to be transmitted so that the next page side can be transmitted or to terminate the original transmission at a predetermined position on the one side of the original. As an improvement in convenience, this can be preferably achieved by the hardware configuration of the facsimile as shown in FIG.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the flowchart algorithm of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be programmed and stored in the central processing unit 2 or the memory 3 of FIG. In the present invention, the central processing unit 2 may preferably be a predetermined microcomputer.

Referring to Fig. 2, the method for manipulating the facsimile document according to the embodiment of the present invention is a suitable embodiment in the case where only one original is transmitted. And step S22 of the user determining whether a necessary portion of the original content has been scanned (S22), and the user selects key data provided in the OPE 1, for example, * key 11 data and # key 12 data. Generating a page end message signal (end of message or end of page signal) (S23), and terminating an original transmission by the page end message signal (S25). Here, the page termination message signal generated by the user's key manipulation can be achieved by pressing the * key 11 and the # key 12 simultaneously or sequentially.

Further, the present invention preferably further includes the step S24 of terminating the original transmission by scanning the entire remaining portion of the original when the page end message signal is not generated by the user in step S23.

And, referring to Fig. 3, a method of operating a facsimile manuscript according to another embodiment of the present invention is a suitable embodiment in the case of transmitting a plurality of transmission manuscripts, in which a facsimile manuscript is transmitted, i. S31), a step of determining by a user whether a required portion of the original content has been scanned (S32), and key data provided by the user in the OPE 1, for example, * 11 data and # 12 key data. To generate an end of message signal (end of message or end of page signal) (S33) and the page ending message signal to complete transmission of one page of the original and whether there is an original to be scanned next If it is determined that the original to be scanned remains, the above process is repeated; otherwise, the step of ending the original transmission is made (S36). Here, the page termination message signal generated by the user's key manipulation can be achieved by pressing the * key 11 and the # key 12 simultaneously or sequentially.

In addition, when the page termination message signal is not generated by the user in step S33, the present invention scans the remaining portion of the original, generates a page termination message signal through the operating system of the facsimile system itself, and transmits one page of the original. Further comprising the step (S34,35) to complete.

The operation of one embodiment of the transmission operation method of the present invention facsimile manuscript configured as described above will be described with reference to Figs.

First, when a user starts to transmit a fax original, the image sensor 8 and the scanning unit 6 scan the contents of the original (S21). The facsimile document is scanned and discharged to the outside through the facsimile outlet. At this time, the user can check the contents of the ejected document to determine whether the required part of the document content has been scanned. When the document is ejected while scanning as described above, if the user determines that the required portion of the original content has been scanned (S22), the user simultaneously or sequentially operates the * key 11 and the # key 12 provided in the OPE 1. Press to arbitrarily generate a page end message signal for the original being scanned, causing the central processing unit 2 to terminate the transmission of the original (S23, 25).

However, if the user does not arbitrarily generate the page ending message signal for the original being scanned in step S23 shown in Fig. 2, the central processing unit 2 performs the image sensor 8 and the scanning unit 6 in a conventional manner. Control to scan the entire document and generate the page termination message signal itself to terminate the transmission of the original (S24, 25). As a result, the present invention can terminate the transmission of the original being scanned by the user's arbitrary selection, eliminating the inconvenience that should be considered until the entire contents of the original are scanned. If used, reduce the thermal paper.

In addition, the operation of another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 as follows. Another embodiment of the present invention is a suitable method in the case of multiple transmission originals.

As in the case of the embodiment of the present invention described with reference to Fig. 2, when the user starts to transmit the facsimile document, the image sensor 8 and the scanning unit 6 scan the contents of the one-page document (S31). The facsimile document is scanned and discharged to the outside through the facsimile outlet, and the user can check the contents of the ejected page document to see whether the required part of the document content has been scanned. When the document is ejected while scanning as described above, if the user determines that the required portion of the page original content has been scanned (S32), the user simultaneously uses the * key 11 and the # key 12 provided in the OPE 1. Or by randomly generating a one-page end message signal for the original being pressed sequentially, causing the central processing unit 2 to terminate the transmission of the original (S33), and if there are more originals to be transmitted, the above process, i.e., step S31, 32, 33 are repeated, and if there are no originals to be transmitted, all transmissions are terminated (S36, 37). Here, the user may arbitrarily generate the one-page end message signal for the original being scanned by pressing the # key 12 and the * key 11 of the OPE 1 sequentially.

Also, in step S33 shown in Fig. 3, when the user does not arbitrarily generate a page ending message signal for the original being scanned, the central processing unit 2 performs the image sensor 8 and the scanning unit 6 in a conventional manner. Control to scan the entire 1 page of the original, and then generate a page end message signal by itself to terminate transmission of 1 page of the original (S34, 35), as described above, if there are more originals to be transmitted The above steps, i.e., steps S31, 32 and 33 are repeated, and if there are no originals to be transmitted, all transmissions are terminated (S37). Thus, the present invention can terminate the transmission of the original being scanned by the user's arbitrary selection for each page even in the case of sending a plurality of originals, so that inconvenience must be taken into consideration until the entire contents of the page original are scanned. The thermal paper can be further reduced if the destination fax uses thermal paper.

As described above, the method for operating a facsimile document transmission according to the present invention is to terminate scanning at a predetermined position on one side of the original to be scanned for transmission so that the next page surface is scanned or scan the original at a predetermined position on the one side of the scanned original. By allowing the to be terminated, it provides the advantage of greatly reducing the fax transmission latency. In addition, the present invention also provides an advantage of saving the thermal paper when the other party's fax uses the thermal paper.

On the other hand, the above-described transmission operation method of the facsimile document of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be carried out by adding many manufacturing modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
