[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a roll paper is generally used as a recording sheet in a facsimile machine, and one sheet is read on the transmitting side regardless of the length of the image data of the read original in the sub-scanning direction. The image data read from the original document is transmitted as image data for one page.

However, in recent years, standard paper (cut paper) is often used as the recording paper, and regardless of the length of the image data of the read original in the sub-scanning direction, as in the conventional case.
When the image data read from one original is sent as image data for one page, the image data is recorded only on the upper part of the standard size paper (cut sheet) on the receiving side, and a large blank part is created at the lower part. In addition to wasting recording paper, it is necessary to feed paper by the margins when recording received image data of multiple pages, which causes adverse effects such as impairing the speed of recording. However, the running cost was sometimes high.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, C
A method of combining image data of a plurality of consecutive pages input by a CD scanner or the like on one recording paper of a transmission destination terminal in a recordable range and transmitting the combined image data as one page of image data (N in 1 method) Is proposed.

[0005]

With this N in 1 method, recording paper can be saved, and recording can be performed more quickly.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
~ It will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the facsimile apparatus according to the embodiment.

The present facsimile machine has a CPU (central processing unit) 1 as a core to perform various processes related to facsimile transmission. The CPU (central processing unit) 1 has a ROM (read only memory). 2, first, second, third RAM (random access memory) 3,
4, 5, operation panel control gate array 6, read control gate array 10, recording control gate array 11, image memory 13, modulator / demodulator 14, and encoding device (codec)
16 are connected. Although not shown, the encoding device 16 includes an encoder, a multiplexing circuit, a demultiplexing circuit, a decoder, and the like.

A display 7 and a keyboard 8 are connected to the operation panel control gate array 6, and a contact sensor 9 is connected to the reading control gate array 10.
A laser printer 12 is connected to the recording control gate array 11, and a network controller 15 is connected to the modulator / demodulator 14.

The CPU 1 controls the other components in accordance with various programs preset in the ROM 2 while controlling the binary code control procedure recommended by ITU-T and various processes corresponding to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. To execute. At this time, the CPU 1 uses the first RAM 3 as a work area.

The contact sensor 9 is composed of a photoelectric conversion element such as a CCD, and converts the optically read original image into an electric signal under the control of the reading control gate array 10 and outputs it as image data. Read control gate array 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes an image memory 1 configured by a DRAM or the like by compressing and encoding the image data read by the contact sensor 9.
Store in 3.

At this time, as the management information of the image data stored in the image memory 13, the reception number, the destination information, the number of pages, the stored image memory block information, the resolution, the image size, the number of read lines of each page, etc. are stored in the CPU 1. It is stored in the second RAM 4 under control. The reading control gate array 10 recognizes and outputs the number of reading lines when compressing and coding image data.

When transmitting the image data stored in the image memory 13, the image data is encoded by the encoder in the encoder 16 under the control of the CPU 1 in accordance with the mode of the destination facsimile machine. Is compressed and compressed,
Further, the signal is modulated by the modulator / demodulator 14 and output to the line N via the network controller 15. When transmitting the image data, the management information is read out from the second RAM 4 and multiplexed with the image data by the multiplexing circuit in the encoding device 16 so that the management information of the image data is also transmitted together. Sent.

On the other hand, the line N and the network controller 15
Under the control of the CPU 1, the image data received via the is demodulated by the modulator / demodulator 14 to check / correct the data error, and the image data is decoded and expanded by the decoder in the encoder 16. After being stored in the laser printer 1, the laser printer 1 is controlled by the recording control gate array 11.
It is printed and recorded at 2. At this time, the management information received together with the image data is separated by the demultiplexing circuit in the encoding device 16 and stored in the second RAM 4, and then printed and recorded by the laser printer 12.

Although not shown in the figure, the keyboard 8 includes a numeral key for inputting destination information (FAX number) and the like, a resolution setting key for setting resolution such as standard, fine and super fine, and a start for instructing transmission start. Various function keys such as a key, a done mark key for stamping a done mark indicating that the document has been sent, an up arrow key, a down arrow key, and a set key are provided.

The operation status of the keys arranged on the keyboard 8 is detected by the operation panel control gate array 6, and corresponding input information, setting information, commands and the like are stored in the third RAM 5 under the control of the CPU 1.

The display 7 is composed of a liquid crystal display, and information corresponding to the operation keys of the keyboard 8 and timekeeping information are displayed by the operation panel control gate array 6 under the control of the CPU 1.

Under each of the above components, the facsimile apparatus according to this embodiment performs the memory transmission as shown in FIG.

That is, in the present embodiment, the read image data is temporarily stored in the image memory 13 and transmitted, but at that time, the range that does not exceed the number of recordable lines (recording paper length) of the receiving-side facsimile apparatus. Two consecutive pages of image data are combined and transmitted as one page of image data (2 in 1 transmission). When an error occurs during transmission and error retransmission is performed, the transmission mode at the time of error retransmission can be selected.

Next, the memory accumulation operation in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

This flow is based on the assumption that the width of the document to be read and the reading resolution are the same for all pages. Further, facsimile transmission / reception is performed by a signal sequence conforming to the binary code control procedure of ITU-T Recommendation 30.

The CPU 1 first reads the read page counter i.
Initially set "1" as the page number to (step S3
01), the number indicated by the read page counter i (hereinafter,
The image data of the document of page i) is read by the contact sensor 9 and stored in the image memory 13 (step S302). In this case, a page break mark is added to the end of the accumulated image data.

Next, it is judged whether or not the original of the (i + 1) th page (that is, the next original) is set in the original cassette (step S303), and if the original of the (i + 1) th page is not set. Since it means that the image data of all the originals set in the original cassette have been accumulated in the image memory 13, this memory accumulation processing is ended.

On the other hand, if the (i + 1) th page original is set in the original cassette, the image data of the (i + 1) th page original is read and stored in the image memory 13 (step S304). Also in this case, a page break mark is added to the end of the accumulated image data.

Next, the sum (Xi + Xi + 1) of the read line number Xi of the accumulated i-th page image data and the read line number Xi + 1 of the (i + 1) -th page image data is the recordable line number y. It is determined whether or not the following (step S3)
05). Regarding the number of recordable lines y, for example, if the read document width is A4 size and the read resolution is standard,
The number of lines that can be printed at standard resolution on A4 size recording paper is defined as the number of printable lines y.

As a result of the above discrimination, if the sum (Xi + Xi + 1) of the number of read lines is less than or equal to the number of recordable lines y,
By deleting the page break mark added at the end of the image data of the i-th page,
1) Combine the image data of the first page as image data for one page (step S306). It should be noted that the page break mark is the ITU-T30 when transmitting image data.
It is transmitted after being replaced with the control return signal (RTC signal) in the recommended binary code control procedure.

Then, it is judged whether or not the original of the (i + 2) th page is set in the original cassette (step S307), and if the original of the (i + 2) th page is not set, it is set in the original cassette. This means that the image data of all the originals have been stored in the image memory 13, so the memory storage processing is ended.

On the other hand, if the (i + 2) th page original is set in the original cassette, the read page counter i is incremented by "2" (step S308),
By returning to step S302, similar memory accumulation processing is performed for all the set originals.

If it is determined in step S305 that the sum of the number of read lines (Xi + Xi + 1) exceeds the number of recordable lines y, the process skips step S306 and proceeds to step S307. The image data of the page and the (i + 1) th page are not combined.

Next, how to register the error retransmission method when retransmitting when a transmission error occurs will be described with reference to FIG.
It will be described with reference to FIG. Registration of the error retransmission method is performed using the up arrow key, the down arrow key, the set key, etc. of the keyboard 8. 4 is a diagram showing how to register a transmission page at the time of error retransmission, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing how to register whether to perform 2-in-1 transmission at the time of error retransmission.

First, a method of registering a transmission page at the time of error retransmission will be described.

First, when a redial menu at the time of a transmission error in the automatic redial of the transmission function setting is displayed on the display unit 7 (S41 in FIG. 4) and the menu is selected by the set key, a selection menu of "through / sinai" is selected. Is displayed (S42). When the set key is pressed in this display state, the display is switched to "Suru" (S43). If the error re-sending is not performed, the down arrow key is pressed to display "Sinai" (S44), and the set key is pressed in this display state to register that the error re-sending is not performed.

When performing error re-sending, the set key is pressed in the display state of "SUL" in S43 to display the "ZEN / ERROR / 1 + ERROR" selection menu (S4).
5). When the set key is pressed in this display state, the display is switched to "ZEN" (S46). Read all (input)
If you want to resend the page with an error, press the set key in this display state and register "resend all pages with error". If you want to re-send from the read page where the error occurred, use the down arrow key or up arrow key to display "Error" (S47), and re-send the first read page and the input page related to the error. If desired, "1 + error" is displayed (S48), and the set key is used for registration.

Next, a method of registering whether or not to perform 2-in-1 error retransmission will be described.

First, the menu of the error resending method in the automatic redial of the sending function setting is displayed on the display 7 (S51 in FIG. 4), and the error resending method is selected by the set key. A selection menu is displayed (S52). When the set key is pressed in this display state, the display is switched to "2in1" (S5
3). When performing 2-in-1 error retransmission, press the set key in this display state and register that "2-in-1 retransmission" is performed. To re-send an error in page units (read page units), press the down arrow key in the display state of S53 to display "Page tongue" (S54), and press the Set key to Register to send.

Next, the error retransmission operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When performing error retransmission, the CPU 1 first determines whether or not "all page retransmission" is registered (step S601). As a result, if "all page retransmission" is registered, it is determined whether "2 in 1 retransmission" is registered (step S602). As a result, if "2 in 1 re-transmission" is registered, all read pages are re-transmitted by the "2 in 1" method (step S60).
3 (see FIGS. 7A and 7B), and the process ends. On the other hand, "2
If "in1 resend" is not registered, all read pages are resent in read page units (step S604, refer to FIG. 8), and the process ends.

When it is determined in step S601 that "retransmission of all pages" is not registered, it is determined whether "retransmission from error page" is registered (step S605). As a result, if "retransmission from error page" is registered, it is determined whether "2in1 retransmission" is registered (step S606). As a result, if “2 in 1 re-transmission” is registered, re-transmission is performed from the read page relating to the error by the “2 in 1” method (step S607, see FIGS. 9A and 9B), and the process ends.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, when an error occurs in the read page located in the latter half of the transmission page, the read page before the read page related to the error is received. Since it is not possible for the sending side to know whether or not the data is normally recorded on the sending side, even if re-sending from the error page is registered, it is possible to re-read by the "2 in 1" method from the reading page before the reading page related to the error. Send.

If it is determined in step S606 that "2 in 1 re-transmission" is not registered, re-transmission is performed for each read page from the read page relating to the error (step S608, FIG. Refer to b)), and the process ends. Even in this case, as shown in FIG.
When an error occurs in the read page located in the latter half of the send page, the sender does not know whether the read page before the read page related to the error is normally recorded on the receive side. Even if the retransmission from the error page is registered, the retransmission is performed page by page from the read page before the read page related to the error.

When it is determined in step S605 that "retransmission from error page" is not registered, the first page is transmitted page by page, that is, the first page at the time of image reading is retransmitted ( Step S609). Then, it is determined whether or not "2 in 1 retransmission" is registered (step S610). As a result, if “2 in 1 re-transmission” is registered, re-transmission is performed from the read page relating to the error using the “2 in 1” method (step S611),
finish. In this case, since the first read page has already been retransmitted in step S609, the result after retransmitting in step S611 is as shown in FIG. 11, for example.

When it is determined in step S610 that "2 in 1 re-transmission" is not registered, re-transmission is performed for each read page from the read page related to the error (step S612), and the process ends. In this case, step S60
Since the first read page has already been retransmitted in 9, the result after the retransmission in step S612 is as shown in FIG. 12, for example.

Even when retransmitting from the read page relating to the error with the first page added in this way, when an error occurs in the read page located in the latter half of the transmitted page, the read page relating to the error occurrence Since the transmitting side does not know whether or not the read page before is normally recorded on the receiving side, even if retransmission from the error page is registered, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, Retransmission is performed including the read page before the read page related to the error.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, not only image data read and input by a CCD scanner or the like but also image data input by a computer or the like is used. It is also possible to perform similar transmission control. In addition, when image data of an arbitrary number of pages is combined and transmitted within a recordable range (Nin
1 method) can also be applied. Furthermore, Nin1
The present invention can also be applied to a case where a combining process for combining a plurality of pages is performed in the transmission control process without performing the storage process in the memory storage.

Since it is possible to select the method to retransmit from the input page related to transmission error after retransmitting, for example, when the main cause of transmission error is the transmission method, switch to the transmission method with less transmission error. By performing the retransmission, the transmission time and the transmission cost can be reduced.
