Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a fax device, and particularly relates to a facsimile device that can simultaneously send and receive images during a call. [Previous technology] The video communication system is a non-existent communication system for large enterprises, but for ordinary small families, it is difficult to achieve real-time video communication due to the frequency of the telephone network ^ More detailed In other words, when the analog signal is transmitted digitally, the bit rate is determined according to the sampling and encoding method of the analog signal. If the sampling rate is at least twice the highest frequency in an analogue sign, then the analogue signal can be transmitted accurately. Therefore, for a standard 4KHz telephone channel, 2 G samples are taken per second, and the encoding process uses 8 bits for each sampling pattern to describe its amplitude. So for a single phone message, a total of 64 bits per second are transmitted. Therefore, the highest transmission rate of a typical home phone line is 64 kbits per second, but the frequency of a video signal including sound and daylight is close to 4.2 MHz. 'If you want to use a wire phone line for transmission, you must go through Complicated compression / decompression technology, and in the process of compression: compression will inevitably cause serious distortion of the video signal. At present, some servers on the Internet (SerVer) provide instant messaging services. That is to say, i24m twf.doc / 006 on both computers of the communication terminal can use the internet camera and if you want to use this real-time white voice and video. I know-some are more advanced; two: service: users who at least need computer operation, 4 I but 疋 for some who do not understand, relatively increase ☆ to use these services, the difficulty is also [inventive content] Therefore, this Under the purpose of the invention, the image can be sent simultaneously. If it is provided, it can be used to send and receive images in a call message device!

When the calling end and the receiving end are talking, the present invention can perform data communication linking (Data Communication Linking) to exchange images in a continuous state. The implementation steps are as follows. First, the call connection between the calling end and the receiving end is suspended, that is, the call connection between the calling end and the receiving end is muted, and then the data communication function of the calling end is started. Then establish a data communication connection between the calling end and the receiving end in order to transmit images in both directions. In the embodiment of the present invention, the steps for establishing a data flood connection between the calling terminal and the receiving terminal are as follows. First, the calling end sends a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) message in a dual-tone multi-frequency coding mode & Then the receiver will decode the dual tone multi-frequency signal to call the data communication function of the second receiver. Then, the data communication function of the calling terminal and the data communication function of the receiving terminal will be held together (anjshake), and the number between the calling terminal and the receiving terminal can be established. In addition, after transmitting the image, the calling terminal and the receiving terminal Images from all parties. In addition, the present invention first restores the call connection between the receiving end of the call, and then stops the call due to the data communication function of the end, so that the call connection is not interrupted according to the communication connection. Among them, the step of outputting the price transmitted by the other party includes displaying at least one of the image transmitted by the other party on a display 1 T4o7twf.doc / 006 and printing by a facsimile machine. Generally speaking, the calling end and the receiving end are the telephone network (STN) of the county line and the transfer line: ΐ] Description $ ΐ: Γ i ΐ You can easily use a modem function At, " The performance is similar to video communication. In addition, the present invention also has an operation interface, so it can be used to transmit video or sound. In addition, the switching circuit is counted on the second delta, so the two communication terminals can directly fax images to each other without hanging up the phone. f This document only compresses and shrinks the image data, and also provides the user with a certain period of time to make the modem's heart bandwidth too fast to exchange image data. Therefore, the quality of the image provided by Yueyue is very high, and the present invention does not hold down the original quality of the accent content. Therefore, the above-mentioned and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention can be more clearly understood.
