The present invention relates to a document file retrieval method in which a facsimile system retrieves and prints only a headline of a document file stored in a memory when there is no recording paper in the system.

The current facsimile system has a built-in large-capacity memory, and when there is no recording paper in the reception mode, it receives a file transmitted from the other party and stores it in the memory.

However, the conventional facsimile system having a large memory as described above was to store the files of the received document in the memory or to supply the receiving recording paper, and to print the contents of the document file recorded in the memory collectively. Therefore, in the conventional system as described above, when only the recording is supplied, all of the received document files stored in the memory are printed out, resulting in waste of time and waste of recording paper. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a facsimile system having a memory for storing data of a received document file, by automatically printing and outputting a head line of received document files stored in the memory by one-touch operation of a function key. It provides a way to retrieve files in minimum time.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a block diagram of a facsimile hardware for carrying out the present invention, which is a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as a CPU) 12 that controls data input and output under predetermined control and controls overall operations of a system. And a memory unit 14 having a memory for storing a received document file and a memory for providing a program and controlling data under the control of the CPU 12, and having a predetermined number of operating keys and a display device. OPE (Operating Pannel) 16 for inputting key data by pressing to the CPU 12 or inputting and displaying display data of the CPU 12, and under the control of the CPU 12 And modulate the image data output from the CPU 12 to transmit to the telephone lines TE1 and TE2, and transmit the image data input from the switching lines TE1 and TE2 to the CPU 12. The CPU 12 stores the transfer device 18, the motor drive device 20 for driving a recording paper feeding motor under the control of the CPU 12, and the image data output from the CPU 12. Recording apparatus 22 for printing and output by the control of the control panel; and cutting device 24 for cutting the recording paper to be output from the recording apparatus 22 under the control of the CPU 12. .

In the facsimile system block diagram configured as described above, the OPE 10 includes a reception file retrieval key for retrieving data of a reception file, and the reception unit memory (RVC1) stores state data of the reception document file in the memory unit 14. ... has RCV _{n +1} ) and a file memory (MF ₁ ... MF _{n +1} ) that stores the received document file. 2 is a document file search flow diagram according to the present invention, wherein a function key input search process 26 for searching whether a file search key is input from the OPE 16 and a file search key in the function key input search process 26 are shown in FIG. File searching process 28 for searching whether a file is registered in the memory when the file is registered in the memory when it is determined to have been inputted, and when the file is registered in the file searching process 28. Image of a headline from a file memory stored in a file registration process for obtaining a file number and an address of a file memory (Get) from a file number stored in an address of the file number read in the file registration process (30). The headline print process 32 for reading and printing data and the next file is registered from the reception state memory after the headline print process 32 is performed. It is a self-file searching process 34 which searches for whether the next file exists and jumps to the registration file calling process only when there is a next file. 3 is a map (Mop) of the reception document memory according to the present invention, in which FIG. 3a is a reception state memory, and FIG. 3b is a file memory. 3A illustrates a plurality of reception state memories RV in which a file number and a file memory MF address corresponding to a reception file are stored. In FIG. 3B, a plurality of file memories (MF) exist for storing image data of a received document.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the above-mentioned drawings, assuming that the current mode is a reception mode when there is no recording paper in the same system as the first drawing. In the reception mode without recording paper as described above, the analog-modulated document file data is inputted through the telephone lines TE1 and TE2, and the analog-modulated document file data is transferred from the modem in the transmission device 18. The digital signal is demodulated and input to the central processing unit 12. The CPU 12 performs MH / MR decoding on the demodulated data to be connected, and stores the file memory MF1 in the memory unit 14 as original binary image data. At this time, when the reception file data is first input, the CPU 12 writes the file number File NO = 1 and the address of the file memory MF1 in the reception state memory RV1 of FIG. 3A. If the inputted picture data is the second input, the CPU 12 stores the input file data in the file memory MF2 as the third b and then the file number (File NO = 2) in the reception status memory RV2 to the third a. ) And the address of the file memory MF2.

Therefore, if data of a reception file is continuously input through the transmission device 18 in a state where there is no recording paper, the CPU 12 transfers the received file to the file memory MF3 (MF4) of FIG. 3B or the like. And stores and stores the number according to the file document input into the reception state memory and the address of the file memories MF3 and MF4 as 3a.

As described above, the CPU 12 storing the received file in the file memory in the memory unit 14 performs the process shown in FIG. 26 every predetermined period, and is the file search key (function key) installed on the OPE 10 increased? Search for. At this time, if the file search key is not input in step 26, the CPU 12 exits from the routine of FIG. 2 and jumps to the standby routine.

In this way, after the recording sheet is supplied to the recording device 22 during operation, the file search key provided on the OPE 16 is pressed, thereby inputting to the CPU 12. Thus, the CPU 12, which has performed the process of FIG. 26 at a predetermined cycle, also determines that the file search key is input, and in step 228, the reception state memory (RV ₁ ) of FIG. 3a installed in the memory unit 14 in FIG. ... RV _{N ≠ 1} ) to find out if a file is registered. The address of the file number is read (Read0 (Get)) from the search result reception state memories RV ₁ ..., R _N N1 in FIG.

In step 30, the CPU 12 reads from the file number and the address reception state memory RV ₁ and transfers the file memory MF1 to the third memory address 3 of the file memory stored in the reception state memory RV ₁ . Specify to read the data of the headline. At this time, the data line of the head line designates a certain amount of data in the reception file and a predetermined number of data which is the title of the received data or the received original. The headline data of the reception file read from the file memory MF1 in FIG. 3B is output to the recording apparatus 22 and printed.

As described above, the CPU 12, which has printed the headline data of the received file stored in the file memory MF1 in FIG. 2B in FIG. 32, reads the next reception state memory RV2 in FIG. It is determined whether the next file is registered. If it is determined in step 2 34 that the next file is registered, the CPU 12 jumps to step 30 described above, and the file number stored in the reception state memory RV2 and the address of the next received file memory MF2 38 are determined. ). In step 30, the CPU 12 which reads the address 38 of the file memory MF2 designates the file memory MF2 as the address 38 so that the file memory MF2 records the data of the read headline. Output to the device 22 to print, and performs the 34 process described above.

Therefore, when the file search key is inputted from the OPE 16, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the received file stored in the memory is scanned by scanning (SCAN) the reception state memory (RV ₁ ... RV _{N = 1} ) to the _{third a} . If it is stored, if it is registered, the file number registered in the reception status memory (RV ₁ ... RV _{N = 1} ) and the address of the file memory (MF ₁ ... MF _{N ≠ 1} ) are read and the address is read by the address thereof. The data of the headline of the received file stored in the file memory (MF ₁ ..., _{N N = 1} ) is sequentially read and printed.

Therefore, by printing only the headline of a predetermined line of each of the received file data stored in each file memory (MF ₁ ... MF _{N = 1} ) by the input of a one-touch key, it is possible to search with minimum time what can be printed first.

As described above, the present invention is a system having a large-capacity memory capable of storing a reception file, wherein the title of documents stored in the file memory or a specific number of lines of the reception documents are printed in a short time by inputting a one touch key. It is easy to grasp the contents, and there is an advantage of quickly printing out the required documents.
