Description

Retransmission page notification method when an error occurs during multi-page transmission.

The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a facsimile, and more particularly, to a method of notifying a retransmission page when an error occurs during a multipage transmission displaying a page to be retransmitted when an error occurs during a multipage transmission.

1 is a block diagram of a general facsimile, the configuration of the facsimile will be described below.

The controller 10 controls the input / output data of the facsimile and manages the overall operation of the system. An operating panel (hereinafter referred to as an OPE) 30 is composed of a key input unit 31 and a display unit (mainly using LCD) 32. The key input unit 31 is composed of a numeric key for dialing, a function key for controlling the functions of the facsimile, a copy key, and a transmission key. The key input unit 31 utilizes the principle of switch (SW) and latch (Latch). Output to the control unit 10. The display unit 32 displays the operation state of the facsimile or various information. The sensor unit 20 detects whether an original is input and transmits a detection signal to the facsimile control unit 10. The scanner 40 scans an original under the control of the control unit 10, compares the original light quantity with the reference light quantity, quantizes the binary information into binary information, and converts the original data into image data. The memory unit 50 stores the operation program, the protocol control program, and the reference data, and temporarily stores the information by the operation of the control unit 10. The memory unit 50 also stores the scanned image data. The printer unit 80 outputs image data stored in the memory unit 50. The modem 60 demodulates the signals entering and leaving the control unit 10. The line interface unit 70 is connected to the modem 60 and the telephone lines (T, R) under the control of the controller 10, detects ring signals and call tone signals received through the telephone lines (T, R), Notify the control unit 10.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process when an error occurs during multi-page transmission of a conventional fax. A description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 is as follows.

First, in step 201, the controller 10 sets the initial number of transmitted pages to zero. The variable of the number of transmission pages is N. The control unit 10 checks in step 202 whether a transmission key is input from the key input unit 31. When the transmission key is input, the controller 10 controls the scanner 40 to scan an original in step 203. When the scanner 40 finishes scanning the original, the controller 10 receives original image data from the scanner 40 and stores the original image data in the memory 50 in step 204. The control unit 10 modulates the image data stored in the memory 50 by the modem 60 in step 205 and transmits the image data on the telephone lines T and R through the line interface 70. The controller 10 checks whether an error is detected in step 206, and if an error is detected, the controller 10 proceeds to step 207 and displays ERROR on the display unit and ends. However, if no error is detected, the controller 10 proceeds to step 208 and checks whether the page transmission is completed. When the page transmission completion signal is detected from the sensor unit 20, the controller 10 adds the number of pages 1 to the initial value in step 209 and stores 1 in the N address of the memory 50 in step 210 (that is, the initial value). N = 0, N = N + 1). The control unit 10 displays the value stored in the N address of the memory 50 on the display unit 32 in step 211. After executing step 211, the controller 10 controls the sensor unit 10 to check whether the document remains on the document glass in step 212. If the document remains on the platen glass, go to step 203 to repeat the process.

As mentioned above, it does not indicate how many pages were sent even if an error occurred while sending two or three copies of the original, so the user does not know how many pages have been sent. have. As a result, there was a lot of time wasting time and wasted telephone bills, especially when sending a large amount of manuscripts.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of notifying a retransmission page when an error occurs during multipage transmission by displaying and indicating a page where an error occurs in order to reduce waste of time and waste of call charges when an error occurs during multipage transmission.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a retransmission page notification method when an error occurs during multi-page transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a retransmission page notification method when an error occurs during multi-page transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention. A description with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 is as follows.

The controller 10 sets the initial number of transmission pages to zero in step 301. The variable of the number of transmission pages is N. The control unit 10 checks in step 302 whether a transmission key is input from the key input unit 31. When the transmission key is input, the controller 10 controls the scanner 40 to scan an original in step 303. When the scanner 40 finishes scanning the original, the controller 10 receives original image data from the scanner 40 and stores the original image data in the memory 50 in step 304. The control unit 10 modulates the image data stored in the memory 50 by the modem 60 in step 305 and transmits the image data on the telephone lines T and R through the line interface 70. The controller 10 checks whether an error is detected in step 306, and if an error is detected, the controller 10 proceeds to step 307 and displays ERROR on the display unit. However, if no error is detected, the controller 10 proceeds to step 313 to check whether the page transmission is completed. When the page transmission completion signal is detected from the sensor unit 20, the control unit 10 adds page number 1 to the initial value in step 314, and adds the initial value and page number to the N address of the memory 50 in step 315. Store 1 (ie, initial value N = 0, N = N + 1). At this time, N value is 1. The controller 10 displays the value stored in the N address of the memory 50 on the display unit 32 in step 316. After the execution of step 316, the controller 10 controls the sensor unit 10 to check whether the original remains on the document glass in step 317, and if the original remains, returns to step 303 to repeat the process after step 303. Repeat until an error is detected or transmission is complete. After the step 307, the controller 10 reads the N value stored in the step 316 from the memory 50. The controller 10 compares the read N value to greater than 1 in step 309. If the compared value is greater than 1, the controller 10 displays the N + 1 value indicating the resend page on the display unit 32 in step 310. The controller 10 checks whether a print signal is input in step 311, and when the print signal is input from the key input unit 31, the printer 80 prints the displayed retransmission value under the control of the controller 10.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage of reducing the waste of time and telephone charges by not having to retransmit from the beginning by checking the error generated when the original is transmitted and notifying the user of the resend page.
