Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily register a sentence using a KANJI (Chinese character) through an interactive procedure by defining the code of a sound, and displaying and outputting the character corresponding to the inputted sound, and selecting it. CONSTITUTION:When the sound of every one character of the sentence to be intended to generate is inputted from a key switch 2, and the code corresponding to the sound is outputted, a control part 4 extracts a corresponding character code from a sound code table memory 6, and reads data corresponding to this character code from a KANJI memory 5, and displays it on the display 3 of an operating board 1. When one character among the displayed characters is selected by the key switch 2, the code of the selected character is accumulated in a character string memory 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and particularly to a facsimile device having a function of inputting character information related to image information.

[Conventional technology]

Recent facsimile machines are equipped with kanji or JIS 1st level dictionaries stored in memory and display and output the sender's name, destination name, etc. using kanji and kana through key operation input.

In conventional facsimile machines, when registering a sender name, destination name, etc., a code corresponding to the characters written in an instruction manual attached to the device is input by key operation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to perform the registration operation because characters must be registered by operating the keys on the operation panel while referring to the instruction manual.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile device of the present invention includes an operation panel having key switches and a display, a character memory storing a plurality of characters, a sound code table memory outputting a plurality of character codes for each sound, and a character code to be registered. The display device includes a character string memory for recording and a control unit for controlling each of the units, displays a group of characters corresponding to a code specified by operating the key switch on the display, and selects from the group of characters by operating the key switch. The character is stored in a character string memory.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

The operation panel 1 includes a key switch 2 and a display 3. The display 3 displays kanji and kana characters.

° The character memory 5 stores, for example, characters defined by JIS 1st standard.

The sound code table memory 6 is a code table of 50 sounds (Aiun...), and a character code is defined for each sound. The character string memory 7 stores character string codes of sentences to be created and registered.

The control unit 4 displays the character code corresponding to the corresponding sound from the sound code table memory 6 on the display 3 by referring to the character memory 5 based on the input information from the key switch 2, and converts the created sentence into a character string. It is stored in the memory 7. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

At step 11, the sound of each letter of the sentence to be created is inputted from the key switch 2, and a code corresponding to the sound is output. 12, the control unit 4 extracts the corresponding character code from the sound code table memory 6 for the input code from the key switch 2, reads data corresponding to this character code from the kanji memory 5, and displays it on the display 3 of the operation panel 1. to be displayed.

At step 13, one character is selected from among the characters displayed on the display 3 using the key switch 2. At step 14, the code of the selected character is stored in the character string memory 7.

At step 15, it is determined whether or not characters have been input, and codes are input sequentially.

FIG. 3 is a 50-note chord diagram of this embodiment. For example, the sound "shi" is represented as 32.

FIGS. 4(a) to 4(c) show the "Please call me immediately" screen during registration by operation. Figure 4(a) shows 'LJ = 32
All the characters in the character memory 5, which is the screen when inputting , are scrolled using the function keys. FIG. 4(b) shows the screen when "to" is selected and "ki"=22 is input. FIG. 4(c) shows the screen when the last character "i"=12 is input.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows for easy registration of sentences using kanji in an interactive format by defining sound codes, displaying and outputting characters that correspond to the input sounds, and selecting them. There is an effect.
