Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention provides a method for displaying screen information composed of character code strings.
A facsimile response that is converted to No. 1 and output to a facsimile terminal! i(t).

[Conventional technology]

For example, ``Facsimile, a new communication medium.

(Published by Telecommunications Technology News Co., Ltd., April 1, 1980, supervised by Osamu Murakami), pages 240 to 245 contain the information necessary for creating forms, etc. when outputting character codes as character patterns to a facsimile machine. This article describes how to combine mosaic patterns (ruled line pieces) in a warehouse. However, only mosaic patterns of the same size as kanji and non-kanji are considered.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above conventional technology uses direct # (@direct/horizontal #) necessary for documents, etc.
), when using a ruled line segment (mosaic pattern) to output a line segment, only the same size as the kanji/non-kanji character (*width ratio is approximately 1:1) is considered as the size of the ruled line segment. Then, it occupies the space of one sentence. Therefore, the space in which characters other than ruled lines (kanji/non-kanji': i-) can be expressed becomes smaller by the space occupied by the ruled line pieces.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile response device that can reduce the space occupied by ruled line pieces on the screen and increase the space for expressing characters other than ruled lines (kanji/non-kanji). .

[Means for solving problems]

The above object can be achieved by using a pattern of a dedicated ruled line piece in the vertical direction as the size of the ruled line piece, compared to the pattern size of characters (kanji/non-kanji) other than the ruled line piece.

[Effect]

By using a dedicated line piece of wood, compared to the case of using a conventional line piece of wood, the space equivalent to one sentence per line using a line piece of wood, in other words, the space of one line is the space for expressing characters other than the line piece. This increases the number of characters that can be expressed per screen.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 showing a facsimile response system, FIG. 2 showing an example of screen information composed of character code strings, FIG. 5 showing an example of a character dot pattern, and FIG. 5 showing an example of screen creation. This will be explained with reference to Figure 4.

Screen information consisting of character code strings is displayed at the host convenience store.
from the facsimile answering device 3 via the communication line 2.
sent to. The facsimile signal created by the facsimile answering device 3 is sent to the facsimile terminal 5 via the telephone line 4.

'The IX character/non-kanji dot pattern storage unit 33 stores, for example, characters of the same size other than ruled wood blocks (for example, graphic characters specified in JIS-C-6226) as shown in FIG. 3 (11 to (4)). Stores dot pattern information.

For example, v,
The dot pattern information of the nest 3 diagrams (11 to 41) as shown in Figure 5 (5) is stored. For example, as shown in FIG. 3(6), the ruled line segment dot pattern storage unit 35 stores data in the vertical direction as shown in FIGS. 3(1) to (5).
) Dot pattern information of a ruled piece of wood having a length i compared to the character size is stored.

As a method of storing the dot pattern information in the dot pattern storage units 53 to 35, there is a method in which the dot pattern information is stored in a RAM (tIIR□&) and the dot pattern information is stored before use.

There are two ways to specify a dedicated ruled line segment on the screen information:
I can think of a plan.

t Dedicated ruled line instruction command 65+standard ruled line piece code 61 (for example, /I5-C-6226)2 In this embodiment, plan 1 is shown in which a dedicated ruled line element code is newly established.

The screen information 6 received by the control section 31 is sent to the code pattern conversion section 32, where the character code is converted into a character dot pattern. If the code 61 for a ruled line segment is not specified in the screen information 6, the corresponding dot pattern is searched from the standard ruled line segment dot pattern storage unit 34, and if the code 62 is for a character other than a ruled line segment, it is a kanji/non-line segment code. Search the corresponding dot butter/ from the kanji dot pattern storage section 55, and search the corresponding dot pattern from the dedicated ruled line segment dot pattern storage section 35 in the case of ° dedicated ruled line instruction command 63 + standard ruled line, - segment code 61'. Then code pattern conversion is performed.

Consider the case where the screen shown in FIG. 4 is created.

When created using only standard ruled wood pieces, the length in the vertical direction is 4t, as shown in Figure 4 (11).On the other hand, when created using dedicated ruled line pieces, the length in the vertical direction is 4t, as shown in Figure 4 (21). The length in the vertical direction is 5t, and the space for -It in the vertical direction is further increased as a space for character expression.The converted pattern information is sent to the facsimile signal converter 36, and the facsimile signal is converted into a facsimile signal. and is sent to the telephone line 4.

In this way, a new ruled line piece with a vertical direction or less than the conventional character dot pattern size is defined, and the dot pattern information for the ruled line piece is stored in the dedicated ruled line piece dot pattern memory 835. This makes it possible to limit the number of characters that can be expressed per screen. In addition, the vertically adjustable screen can be sent to a facsimile terminal (when outputting, it can be sent in a shorter size than the same information tray, which leads to a reduction in communication time).

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the space occupied by the ruled line segments is reduced, information can be expressed efficiently on the output screen, and the communication time to the facsimile terminal can be shortened.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a facsimile answering device that converts screen information consisting of a character code string into an image signal and outputs it to a facsimile terminal, the vertical and horizontal sizes of the unit pieces for creating ruled lines are the same as the character size of kanji and non-kanji. Character codes are assigned to equal standard segments and dedicated segments whose vertical size is 1/2 that of the standard segments, and a memory device is provided to store dot pattern data of the standard segments and dedicated segments, and a screen is displayed. It has a function to identify whether it is a standard segment or a dedicated segment based on the character code in the information, and when it is a standard segment, it is converted to the dot pattern data of the standard segment, and when it is a dedicated segment, it is converted to the dot pattern data of the dedicated segment. 1. A facsimile response device having a function of converting into pattern data, converting the converted pattern data into an image signal, and transmitting the image signal to a facsimile terminal.
