Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent waste of a recording paper by accumulating picture information in a frame memory and by recording it in accordance with necessity after confirming the contents by a displaying device beforehand. CONSTITUTION:After processing picture information, which is sent from a transmitter 1 through a transmission line 2 to a picture signal every one line by a transmission controlling circuit 31, the image information is accumulated in order in a frame memory 35 through a memory controlling circuit 36. Simultaneously, the accumulated picture information is transferred to a display device 37 through the memory controlling circuit 36 and the information is displayed as a picture so that it will be seen easily by a utilizer. The utilizer confirms the displayed contents, if necessary, he transfers the picture information, which is accumulated in the said frame memory 35, to the record controlling circuit by an operational switch 38, and he makes a recording paper 34 record the information. When the displayed contents are not necessary, the picture information is erased from the frame memory 35 by the operational switch 38.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an image information receiving and recording device that receives image information transmitted and input, such as a facsimile machine, and records it on a recording medium such as recording paper. It is something.

[Prior art]

A conventional device of this type is shown in FIG. In the figure, (1) is a transmitting device that transmits image information. (2)
(3) is a receiving device that receives and records image information; and (B) is a manuscript that is the source of image information.

(2) is a document table attached to the transmitting device (1), 0 is a transmission control circuit that receives the transmitted image information and processes it into an easy-to-handle information format in the receiving device (3), and 2) is a transmitter. A line memory temporarily stores image information; (to) a recording control circuit that sequentially extracts and records image information (one line at a time).

(b) is a recording paper on which image information is recorded by the recording control circuit (to).

Next, the operation will be explained. When transmitting image information such as a manuscript, on the transmitting side, the manuscript aυ is inserted into the transmitting device (1) in Figure 1, and the transmission line (2) is connected by a telephone exchange etc.
The image information is transmitted via a predetermined transmission control procedure. On the other hand, six transmission control circuits on the receiving side, corresponding to the transmission control circuits, receive the image information and store it in line memory 0 as an image signal for each line. This image signal is sequentially recorded line by line on the recording paper (b) by the recording control circuit (to).

Conventional receiving devices record transmitted image information on recording paper regardless of its content, thereby recording image information that is completely unnecessary or unnecessary for the receiving side. The problem was that recording paper was wasted.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned blessings. The received image information is displayed on a display device before being recorded on recording paper, and after confirming the content, it is recorded on recording paper if necessary. An object of the present invention is to provide an image information receiving and recording device that eliminates the waste of recording paper by recording images.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 2, symbols (1) to (3), αη, @, 0υ
.

), H is the same as or corresponds to the conventional one shown in FIG. (7) is a memory control circuit that retrieves image information from a frame memory (to) inputting image information to a frame memory (to) a frame memory that stores image information of one or more pages; A display device such as a cathode ray tube display or a liquid crystal panel for displaying the image data is a control section composed of a frame memory (7) and a memory control circuit (7).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

Image information sent from the transmitting device (1) via the transmission path (2) is processed into image signals for each line by the transmission control circuit 6η, and then sent to the frame memory (7) via the memory control circuit α9. are accumulated sequentially. At the same time, the accumulated image information is sent to the display device (through the memory control circuit).
(b) and display it as a video for easy viewing by users.

The user confirms the displayed contents and, if necessary, transfers the image information stored in the frame memory (7) to the recording control circuit by pressing the sweep switch (to) and records it on the recording paper (2). If the displayed content is unnecessary, the image information is deleted from the frame memory using the operation switch.

In the above embodiment, the case where image information is transmitted one page at a time has been explained, but if the capacity of the frame memory () is large, image information of multiple pages can be sequentially stored and the contents displayed on the display device (b). Along with recording control times.

It is also possible to transfer and record the image information of the previous page.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, image information is stored in a frame memory, the contents of which are checked in advance on a display device, and then recorded as necessary, thereby preventing waste of recording paper. There is.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional image receiving device;
The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of an image receiving and recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a frame memory, (g) is a memory control circuit, @ is a display section, and (g) is a control section. In the figures, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (2)

[Claims] (1) In the image information receiving and recording device 8 that receives transmitted image information and records it on a recording medium, there is a display section that sequentially displays the received image information, and a display control of this display section. and a control section that selectively sends out the image information displayed on the display section in accordance with an image selection signal inputted from the outside, so that only the image information selected by the control section is recorded on the recording medium. An image information receiving and recording device characterized by: (2) The control unit includes a frame memory that has a memory capacity for n frames (n is an integer of 1 or more) and sequentially stores received image information, and a frame memory that sequentially stores the image information stored in this frame memory. Claims characterized by comprising a memory control circuit that reads and transmits the stored image information to the display unit in units and controls the selection of the stored image information to be sequentially output to the recording medium in units of frames (pages) in accordance with an image selection signal. The image information receiving and recording device according to item 1.
