Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a broadcast transmission control system in a facsimile machine.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, facsimile machines have adopted a sequential broadcast method for broadcast transmission, in which all the text to be transmitted is stored in a storage unit, etc., and all texts are configured to transmit the same text to the recipients of the broadcast transmission. has been done.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above conventional example, all of the sent text including the heading part is the same, so for example, the main text may be the same as other recipients, but it may be sent only to a specific recipient. If there was a comment, etc. that the sender wanted to send, it was necessary for the sender to send a separate text from the broadcast transmission.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a broadcast transmission control system that allows broadcast transmission with a heading section (first page) depending on the recipient.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, when broadcast transmission is performed using a storage type facsimile device equipped with an image data storage unit, the transmitted text of the set page is read from the reader unit, and the remaining transmitted text is ,
It is characterized by the use of previously stored text.

[Function] In the present invention, the text corresponding to the main text of 5 broadcast transmissions is stored in advance in the storage section, and the text of some sections corresponding to the heading section of the broadcast transmission is provided with a function to be read from the reader section. This makes it possible to transmit information to individual recipients.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a facsimile machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

This facsimile device includes a device body 1, an operation unit 2 that realizes information transmission between the device body 1, a printer 3 that prints out received text and control information, and a reader 4 that reads text to be transmitted. have

The facsimile machine body 1 also includes an MPU 5 that controls the entire device, a RAM 6 that stores information necessary for the control performed by the MPU 5, and an operation unit I/F control unit 7 that controls which interface of the operation unit 2. A printer I/F control unit 8 that controls the interface with the printer 3 and a printer I/F control unit 8 that controls the interface with the reader 4.
An f control unit 9, an image data storage unit 11 that stores text to be sent and received, and a communication control unit 12 that controls communication procedures performed by the device via a line 13 are provided.

Figure 2 shows the operation f! 82 is a flowchart illustrating the operation after receiving a transmission instruction from 82.

First, a flag is set to control whether or not to read the text (text) from the reader section 4 (520), and the address of the destination to be sent is set to be read (S21).

If there is no destination address to send to (S22),
Processing ends. If the destination address to which the data should be sent has been set, the state of the read flag should be determined (523).
, if set, the text is read from the reader section 4 (S24).

In addition, if the read flag is not reset in step S23, it is assumed that there is no text to be read in the reader section 4, and a call is made to the set address 1/s (step S3
2) The process moves to the stored text transmission process (S2B).

In addition, in the text reading process of the reader unit 4 in S24, the presence or absence of text is determined (525), and when the text is accepted, it is issued using the address set in S21 (326), and after sending the read text, (S27),
The stored text is sent (52B), and when all has been sent (529), the set communication call is disconnected (S30), and the next sending address is set (S21).

Further, if there is no read text in S25, the read flag is reset (S31), and only transmission using the set address (S32) is performed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by individually handling only some texts, such as the cover page of a broadcast transmission, it is possible to transmit uneven information in a broadcast transmission. There is an effect that can be done.
