SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile communication management device that allows the contents of a facsimile transmission to be confirmed later.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a facsimile communication system comprising: a memory for sequentially storing a part of a transmitted document in order for each facsimile communication; and means for displaying the stored contents of the memory as a table. It is a management device.

According to the present invention, a part of the transmitted original is sequentially stored in the memory for every 7-acknowledge communication, and the contents stored in the memory are printed or visually displayed as a table. After sending a facsimile, it is possible to check the content, that is, what kind of document was sent, which improves usability.

Example FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

A document 10 to be transmitted is read by a reading means 11. The reading means 11 is configured to optically read characters and the like written on the document using a line image sensor, that is, a scanner, which extends perpendicularly to the direction of conveyance while conveying the document 10 in a predetermined direction. . The control circuit 12 implemented by a microcomputer or the like is a PROGERA! stored in a program memory 13. This control circuit 12, which performs facsimile communication operations according to The data read by the encoder 11 is encoded by the encoder 7/'decoder H15, and sent from the transmission control circuit 16 to the model 1 and 17 to one telephone line from the line control circuit 18 for facsimile transmission. The image information read by the reading means 11 is stored in the image (image memory 2
0, and the stored contents are encoded as described above by the decoding means 15 and transmitted.

Furthermore, when receiving a facsimile from the other party, the signal from one telephone line is transmitted from the line control means 18 to the modem 17.
The received image information is sent to the control circuit 12 via the transmission control means 1G, decoded by the naturalization/decoding means 15, and stored in the image memory 20. The received image information is transferred to the recording paper by the printer 21. is printed on.

The date of the transmission, the start time of the transmission, and the time required for the transmission are measured by the timer 23 and stored in the communication management data memory 24 together with the relevant information. In the present invention, a title image memory 25 is further provided.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the first page document 102t of the document 10 to be transmitted according to the present invention. A black identification mark 26 is preprinted on the right side edge of this original L O = t as shown by diagonal lines, and a black identification mark 26 is printed in advance in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction 27 of the original 10 a corresponding to the identification mark 26 . An area 28 in which a title is to be recorded is prepared in the width direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 2). This title recording area 28
The operator writes information to facilitate later inspection of the transmitted content, such as the title of the manuscript content. The reading means 11 reads the original 10
When the document 10εt is conveyed in the conveyance direction 27 and its identification mark 26 is detected, the recording contents of the document 10εt including the title recording area 28 are recorded over the continuous length 13 of the identification mark 26 in the conveyance direction 27. Image memory 25
Transfer and store. It is best to print the first manuscript 102t in advance and prepare it for the song.

As a result, the control circuit 12 uses the printer 21 to print the communication manager on the recording paper as shown in FIG.

The communication manager recorded on this recording paper is the serial number 31 of the facsimile transmission and the date (32) of the transmission.
The time 33 when the transmission was started, the time required for the transmission 3il, the telephone line number of the recipient 35, the number of originals 36, and the communication result 37 are displayed. A communication result of 37 means that the communication was successful.
Indicates whether it is K J or there is no communication and there is an "error". Furthermore, in this communication manager, the stored contents stored in the title image memory 25, that is, the contents written in the evening/item recording area 28 corresponding to the identification mark 26, are shown in the diagonally shaded reference r in the title part 38.
The information is printed individually corresponding to each facsimile communication as indicated by f3.

Referring to FIG. 4, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be explained. When a facsimile transmission process is to be performed in step n1, first, in step n2, a calling process is performed for the destination facsimile machine, and then, when there is a response from the destination facsimile machine in step rr3, the process is transmitted in step r+4. Perform preprocessing.

This pre-transmission process is, for example, an operation of synchronizing facsimile communication between the first machine (21) and the other party's facsimile machine.

In the StayPro 5, the other party's information, ie, the telephone number and addressee of the other party shown in FIG. 3, is transferred to the communication management data memory 24 and stored therein.

In step ri 6, in response to the output of the timer 23,
The day 10 and the transmission start time are transferred to and stored in the communication management data memory 24. In step ri7, one line of image data from the line image sensor provided in the reading means 11 is read, and in step r+7a,
It is determined whether the identification mark 26 of the first document 10a is detected, and if the identification mark 26 is not detected,
Proceeding to step r18, one line of image data is encoded in the encoding/decoding means 15, and the frame r
i 9, performs modulation processing on the encoded data,
It is transmitted in step ri 10 using one telephone line.

In step r111, it is determined whether or not the original document remains, and as long as the original document remains, the process continues from step r+7 to step r.
The operations at 110 are repeated.

When the identification mark 26 is detected by the reading means 11 when reading the first original 10a, step rr7a
Then, the process moves to step nL6, and the content by the reading means 11 over the length 11 in which the identification mark 26 extends along the conveyance direction 27, or the content of only the title recording area 28 among the content, is stored in the title image memory 25. Transmit and store.

If it is determined in step nil that there are no originals remaining to be transmitted, the process moves to step n42, where post-transmission processing, such as sending out a signal representing transmission management, is performed. Thereafter, in step n1.3, one telephone line and one facsimile communication line are terminated and the line is disconnected. In step rs14, the current time data at the end of transmission is sent to the timer 2.
3 are read, transmitted to and stored in the communication management data memory 24, and the number of transmitted sheets is also stored.

Further, data indicating whether the seven-accompaniment transmission was successfully performed or whether the facsimile transmission was unsuccessful is also transmitted to and stored in the communication management data memory 24.

In this way, in step rm15, the series of seven axle communications is completed.

Operation 512I is performed when the communication management table shown in FIG. 3 is printed and displayed by the printer 21. Moving from step s1 to step S2, the management data for each facsimile communication is changed into communication management data,
The information is read out from the memory 24 and the read contents and the time required for facsimile transmission are derived. step s3
Now, the reference mark 31 in FIG. 3 is stored in the communication management data memory 24.
When the transmission management data indicated by 37 are stored, the contents are read out, the process moves to step s4, and the title image memory 25 of the facsimile communication corresponding to the transmission management data 31 to 37 is stored. ■ - Reads stored stored content data. In step s5,
These memories 2. ．． 1.2 (The data stored in the lli is printed on recording paper by the printer 21, and
