Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply register the registration content of an OMR sheet as information for a one-touch key by registering contents of plural operation procedures to an area corresponding to a single specific key and using the specific key to reproduce the same operation as the operation procedure. CONSTITUTION:When the content of an identification (OMR) sheet is registered in a one-touch key, the registration mode as above is at first selected and a specific one-touch key of an operation section 51 is designated. Then the picture information recorded on the OMR sheet is read, the content is analyzed and converted into a code corresponding to the operation procedure. When it is finished, the data is registered in a memory area of a RAM 43 corresponding to the one-touch key. Thus, the registration processing is finished and the one- touch key is operated to reproduce the same operation as the operation procedure registered in the one-touch key. Thus, no OMR sheet is required.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an image processing device suitable for application to facsimile machines and the like, and in particular to an image processing device that is capable of registering the contents of an operation procedure that has been completely filled out on an identification sheet into a one-touch key. This is what I did.

[Background of the Invention] In an image processing device, for example, a facsimile device, multiple key operation procedures are registered to a specific key (one-touch key).
Thereafter, some devices have a function (one-touch function) that allows you to perform an operation equivalent to a registered operation simply by operating this one-touch key.

In addition, this facsimile machine has a function that reads the contents of an original identification sheet (OMR sheet) on which operating procedures are written, analyzes this content internally, and executes the specified operation according to specific rules. Some have OMR function).

An OMR sheet constructed as shown in FIG. 6 can be used.

This OMR sheet 10 is approximately A4 size, and is conveyed from the end portion 11 side. The notch 15 is a recess for distinguishing between an OMR sheet and a normal original.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an area for recording information on operating procedures, which is designated by filling in the space between the mouth-shaped marks.

21 is a designated area for the communication mode (fine mode, normal mode, etc.), 22 is an area that indicates the density of the communication mode, and an information recording area for stamping the sent document and making it easy to confirm the transmission. is 23.

The area 24 indicates timer transmission, the recording area -25 determines the transmission time, and the area 26 determines the number of sheets to be transmitted. Further, 27 is an area for determining the number of copies of the original. Reference numeral 28 indicates an area on which area of the document is to be masked/trimmed; the upper left of the mask/trim area;
Information indicating the upper right corner is recorded. Area 29 is an area for realizing a function similar to a one-touch key operation, and by filling in a mark area with a specific number, the process corresponding to that number is automatically executed.

For example, one-touch keys provided on the main body of the device (especially
(not shown), if the recipient's phone number, transmission mode, transmission time, and other information have been registered all at once, the area of the key number related to this one-touch key can be filled out. The same mode can be reproduced by Area 30 is an area for instructing speed dial;
1 is a user ID code designation area.

Reference numeral 32 denotes an identification mark for the OMR sheet, and by optically reading this identification mark 32, it is possible to optically identify the original and the OMR sheet.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, when using the OMR function, the operating procedure is recorded on the OMR sheet 10, so if you want to perform similar processing using many facsimile machines, , the user must carry this OMR sheet with which the prescribed operating procedures are recorded.

In addition, since the OMR sheet 10 is made of a material such as regular paper, it is easily worn and damaged, and if used many times,
It is necessary to create an OMR sheet with similar contents again.

Taking this into consideration, it would be very convenient if information on a specific operating procedure obtained as a result of analyzing an OMR sheet could be registered as one-touch key information.

This is because similar operations can be subsequently performed using this one-touch key. Also, if you register - degree, OMR
No need to carry a seat.

Therefore, the present invention proposes an image processing device that allows the recorded contents of an OMR sheet to be easily registered to a one-touch key.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a system that analyzes a plurality of contents from an identification sheet in which operating procedures are written according to specific rules, and executes the operating procedures. In an image processing device having such functions, the contents of the plurality of operating procedures described above are registered in an area corresponding to a single specific key, and after registration, the same operation as the above operating procedure is performed by operating this specific key. It is characterized by being able to be reproduced.

[Function] When you want to register the contents of the OMR sheet to a one-touch key, first select such a registration mode and specify a specific one-touch key.

Next, the image information recorded in the OMR sheet is read, its content is analyzed, and it is converted into a code corresponding to the operating procedure. After this is completed, the data is registered in the memory area associated with the designated one-touch key.

Therefore, when this registration process is completed, when this one-touch key is operated thereafter, the same operation as the operation procedure registered with this one-touch key will be reproduced. the result,
OMR sheet becomes unnecessary.

[Embodiment] Next, a case in which an example of the image processing apparatus according to the present invention is applied to a facsimile machine will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and subsequent figures.

As described above, the embodiment is applied to a facsimile machine having both an OMR function and a one-touch function.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the communication control means 40 in this facsimile machine, and 41 is a C for managing communication control.
It is PU.

42 is a ROM in which batch transmission (3 functions and other control programs are stored); 43 is a RAM memory for storing image signals; - Documents for batch transmission are stored in memory.

The image signal read by the image reading section 44 is stored in the RAM 4.
3 or directly supplied to the modem and network control circuit (NCU) 46 via the interface 45.

The image signal input from the line is sent to this modem and NCU46.
After that, it is temporarily stored in the RAM 43. And RAM4
The image signal read out from 3 is supplied to a recording section 48 via an interface 47 and is recorded.

The telephone number of the destination party can be supplied to the display unit 50 via the interface 49, and displayed thereon.

Reference numeral 51 is an operation unit for inputting a telephone number, etc., and 52 is an interface thereof. As mentioned above, the operation unit 51 includes one-touch keys and one-touch key registration keys (
In addition to the OMR sheet output key (not shown) for executing OMR sheet output processing, this example is provided with an OMR sheet output key (registration key). This output key can also be configured to be used in combination with other keys.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart 60 showing an example of one-touch key registration processing.

In order to register the contents of the OMR sheet 10 to a specific one-touch key, first operate the one-touch key registration key to transition to the one-touch key registration processing mode, and then specify the one-touch key to be registered (step 6
1.62).

Next, place the OMR sheet 10 on the document table of the device, and
The information recorded on the R sheet 10 is read (step 63). The read image information is analyzed, it is determined which operating procedures have been registered, and the results are converted into data indicating the operating procedures (step 64).
).

Data indicating the converted operating procedure is registered in the designated one-touch key memory area (step 65).
. The memory for this one-touch key is the RAM4 mentioned above.
3 or a dedicated memory.

After this registration process is completed, by operating this one-touch key, the operation according to the operation procedure registered in this one-touch key is executed.

In addition to such processing, this example also has a function of converting the contents of the operating procedures registered in the one-touch keys into image information for the OMR sheet and reproducing the same as the OMR sheet.

For this purpose, OMR fonts as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B are used, and are stored in the RAM 43, for example.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the OMR sheet output processing 70, and this processing is based on the assumption that a predetermined operation procedure has already been registered in a plurality of one-touch keys.

First, the OMR sheet provided on the operation unit 51 is operated to select this output processing mode, and a specific one-touch key in which the telephone number of the other party to whom you wish to send is registered is operated ( Step 71.72
). Then, the content of the operating procedure registered in the specific one-touch key that has not been stored in the RAM 43 is read out, and the registered content is analyzed (step 73).

Specifically, the contents of the operating procedure, such as the other party's telephone number, communication mode, density, and number of sheets to be sent, are analyzed one by one.

When the analysis of the operating procedure is completed, the process moves on to image generation processing for the OMR sheet (step 74).

In this step 74, R
The OMR font shown in FIG. 4A or B is read from AM43. A in the figure is a font when no designation is made, and in this case, a mere mark is read out.

On the other hand, when the mark is specified, a font in which the spaces between the marks are filled out is read out as shown in B of the same figure.

This font is then output at a designated position on the OMR sheet 10. For example, when Fine mode is specified as the regular 8 mode, the O
In the MR sheet 10, in the area where this communication mode is specified, the corresponding font can be outputted to form an image as shown in FIG.

This font information is then printed out (step 75). Therefore, the OMR sheet 10 as shown in FIG. 6 is finally output with a specific area marked.

With this, the operating procedure registered in the designated one-touch key is replaced with a predetermined image, and the recording area for specifying the operating procedure is output in a filled-out state. Therefore, this printed recording paper will be used from now on.
It can be used as an MR sheet.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention is configured so that the operating procedure recorded on the OMR sheet can be registered as the contents of a one-touch key.

According to this, it is convenient because there is no need to take out the OMR sheet every time transmission is made.

Furthermore, since the work of re-creating an OMR sheet can be completely eliminated, it has the feature of realizing smooth operation.

Therefore, the present invention is extremely suitable for application to facsimile machines and the like.
