Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit only effective information and to decrease a transmitting time, by transmitting an effective information signal and a format designating signal of a transmitting original and regenerating a prescribed format from the designating signal at the receiver side. CONSTITUTION:A comparator 15 inhibits the reading in the main scanning direction when the data shown by a counter is not included within a range shown by the main scanning direction data 11 and transmits a comparing signal 19 which performs comparison within a prescribed range. While a comparator 21 transmits a comparing signal 25 to perform reading of the secondary scanning direction within a prescribed range when the number of steps shown by a secondary count signal 23 is included within a range of step number of the secondary scanning direction data 12. Based on the signal 25, the read signal 27 of a transmitting original 1 which is read by a scanner 26 is converted into a read signal 29 by a picture/D converter 28 and then turned into data. This signal is transmitted to the receiver side via an MODEM as an effective information signal 31. The signal 25 is also supplied to a controller 32 and then transmitted as an end signal 33 at a time point when the scanning of a block is through.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides the following features: The present invention relates to a data transmission device for transmitting data such as slips created in a standard format C'.

To quickly send a form (111) to a remote location, it is convenient to use a Noah fax machine.
81 Sλ documents are scanned together, and the scanned lines and image information are processed as appropriate to speed up transmission.

However, with facsimile, the receiving side reads all the information that is already recognized and transmits it in a uniform manner. (In addition to information that the receiving side does not recognize (hereinafter referred to as valid information), useless information is sent. As a result, it is not possible to sufficiently shorten the document transmission time.

Normally, documents to be sent such as invoices are printed on paper with fixed information such as ``Tile 1'', ``)'', and frame depending on the type, and valid information such as ``ALS'' is placed within the designated area. Fill in C
There is. There is a horn comb that specifies only the sub-scanning area that contains "effect information" from sub-k, and then collects and transmits the image information of only that area. However, even with such a facsimile, the image information within the area designated for reading is transmitted in total (J3), meaning that useless information is transmitted, or in other words, fixed information 911 for titles, items, and frames 1-q is transmitted. There is no change in the fact that a lot of time is spent on transmission.

The present invention addresses these points and transmits only valid information.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data transmission device that can create an identical received copy of a transmitted original on the receiving side.

In the present invention, a format 1 designation signal for specifying the format of a transmission document and a valid information signal are transmitted from the transmitting side to the receiving side, and the receiving side reproduces a predetermined format from the format specifying signal.

The image information based on the valid information signal and the output information are integrally recorded on the recording paper.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a transmitted document.

This transmission document 1 is in a predetermined format 1 such as a shipping bill.
- is created in J3, and areas A, B, and C in which valid information is written are formed in the fields marked with double circles. The remaining portion is printed in accordance with this A-mat in a color that cannot be read by the reading element on the transmitting side (double-out color). At the 6ij end of the transmission document 1, there are four different colors that can be read by the reading element (formats 1 to 1).
Specified mark 2 is printed on A-mark 1.

Figure 2 shows this format 1 to the format 1 that identifies the specified mark to the data transmission device on the identification side.

The read data 4 output from 1) is manually input to the data buffer 5. In this case,
A parallel signal 36 is outputted according to the marking state of the format designation mark 92 by providing a 1-return a3 at a position corresponding to the N location of the format designation signal 92. This parallel signal 6 is input to a decoder 7,
The types of formats 1 to 1 are decoded. The result of this decoding is
It is supplied as a format designation signal 9 to a ROM (read delta-only memory) 10 and also sent to the receiving side.

Here, the value of N is determined by the number of required formats, and up to 2N formats 1- can be decoded.

ROM10 contains the types of formats 1 to 1 ("Form 1", "
Data corresponding to the format ``■'' (tongue-) is recorded as 0. Third
The figure shows this. -For example, 1-Format [J] representing a shipping slip (I will explain this.

In the "Form ■", data for specifying and covering the J-3 valid information areas A to C shown in FIG. 1 is registered.

The identification of each area is performed by representing the position in the main scanning direction and the position in the sub-scanning direction on the transmission document 1 by each main point. If each area is represented as a square area, as in the case of this example, the Kamikita point (or the three points a, b, and C as shown in Figure '1' will suffice). The data in the main scanning direction that is applied to the main point represents the number of columns in each rask scan. Also, the data in the sub-scanning direction There are four tables based on the number of steps of the step motor in the sub-scanning mode.

When the format 1-specified information 9 is supplied to the ROM 10 having such contents, the corresponding format 1 to 9 is designated. Here, r lJi about 1-Shipping slip
], l: I J is specified, and the data is sent from the output end of the ROM 10 based on the main scanning direction data 11 and sub-scanning direction data 12 for each area A to C of "format ■";, 1 of original 1 ．． Reading control is performed and only valid information is sent to the receiving side. The main scanning direction data is supplied to one pano JQ element of the comparator 15.

By the way, the counter 1 (3) of this device is supplied with a clock pulse 18 for reading out the image signal bit by bit.The counter 16 counts each bit constituting one raster to 51, and its output terminal Main count signal 17 from
is supplied to the other input terminal of the comparator 15. Comparator 15
When the data in the table 49 of the counter 16 does not deviate within the range of 4 tables of the scanning direction data 11, a comparison signal 19 is sent out to prohibit reading in the main scanning direction and to perform it only within a predetermined ffG range. It is set to

On the other hand, the sub-scanning direction data 12 is supplied to one input terminal of the comparator 21 . The other input terminal of the comparator 21 is supplied with a sub-count signal 23 of a counter 22 which multiplies the number of sub-scan sub-scans. At the input end of the camera 22 is a stepping motor (not shown) that performs sub-scanning.
A step signal 24 having the same timing as that for driving is supplied. 1 comparator 21 starts the sub-scanning direction when the sub-count signal 23 from the counter 22 is displayed within the R'Q range due to the re-stepping of the sub-scanning direction data '12 and the re-up number is included. It is set to send out a comparison signal 25 for reading the direction only within a predetermined range.

Then, based on the comparison signal 2b, the read signal 27 from the transmission document 1 read by the scanner 2 (5) is converted into an image.
The digital converter 28 converts the signal into a proper digital read signal 29 and then performs data conversion. Examples of data conversion methods include modified Huffman encoding and modified read encoding.

The data-converted read signal is transmitted to the receiving side as a valid information signal 31 via a modem (modulator/demodulator). The comparison signal 25 is also supplied to the controller 32 and the controller 31
