Abstract
A facsimile apparatus determines whether a frame to be transmitted is an image block or an error retransmission frame, and transmits a short training sequence or a long training sequence based on the results of the determination. The long training sequence is sent if a TCF signal is transmitted and the short training sequence is sent if the image block is transmitted. If the facsimile apparatus is on the receiving side, a training sequence in accordance with the frame from the transmitting side is received. After a carrier signal is detected, the apparatus then makes a transition to a mode for receiving the TCF signal or image block.
Claims20
A facsimile apparatus which sends information that includes at least a first kind of information including a signal for checking a communication state and a second kind of information including image data via a modem, comprising:
- generation means for generating a training signal which is to adjust a receiving party's modem,
- wherein said generation means generates the training signal with a selected one of a long training sequence and a short training sequence;
- and
- changeover means for changing over to either the long training sequence or the short training sequence, by determining which of said kinds of information is to be sent after the training signal to the receiving party via the modem and changing over depending upon the kind of the information determined.
A facsimile apparatus which performs communications via a modem comprising:
- generation means for generating a training signal which is to adjust a receiving party's modem,
- wherein said generation means generates the training signal with a selected one of a long training sequence and a short training sequence;
- and
- changeover means for changing over to either the long training sequence or the short training sequence, by determining a kind of data which is to be sent to the receiving party via the modem and depending upon the result of the determination,
- wherein said changeover means determines whether the data is an image block or an error retransmission frame, and changes over to either the long training sequence or the short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination.
A facsimile apparatus which performs communications via a modem comprising:
- generation means for generating a training signal which is to adjust a receiving party's modem,
- wherein said generation means generates the training signal with a selected one of a long training sequence and a short training sequence;
- and
- changeover means for changing over to either the long training sequence or the short training sequence by determining a kind of data which is to be sent to the receiving party via the modem and depending upon the result of the determination,
- wherein said changeover means determines whether the data is a TCF signal or an image block, and changes over to the long training sequence or the short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination.
A method of sending a training signal for adjusting a receiving party's modem in facsimile communications, comprising the steps of:
- determining a kind of information which is to be sent after the training signal to the receiving party from information that includes at least a first kind of information including a signal for checking a communication state and a second kind of information including image data;
- changing over a training signal transmission to either a long training sequence or a short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination;
- and
- sending information of the kind determined, after transmitting the training signal to the receiving party by the changed over training sequence.
A method of sending a training signal for adjusting a receiving party's modem facsimile communications, comprising the steps of;
- determining a kind of the data which is to be sent to the receiving party;
- changing over a training signal transmission to either a long training sequence or a short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination:
- and
- sending the data after transmitting the training signal to the receiving party by the changed over training sequence,
- wherein, at the step of determining the kind of data, it is determined whether the data is an image block or an error retransmission frame.
A method of sending a training signal for adjusting a receiving party's modem in facsimile communications, comprising the steps of;
- determining a kind of the data which is to be sent to the receiving party;
- changing over a training signal transmission to either a long training sequence of a short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination;
- and
- sending the data after transmitting the training signal to the receiving party by the changed over training sequence,
- wherein, at the step of determining the kind of data, it is determined whether the data is a TCF signal or an image block.
A method of adjusting a modem which sends first data information and second data information in facsimile communications, comprising the steps of:
- determining whether data information to be sent after a training signal is the first data information or the second data information;
- changing over a modem adjustment to either a long training sequence or a short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination;
- and
- sending the determined data information after adjusting the modem by the changed over training sequence,
- wherein the second data information is an error transmission frame of the first data information.
A method of adjusting a modem in facsimile communications, comprising the steps of:
- determining a kind of communication data to be sent;
- changing over a modem adjustment to either a long training sequence or a short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination;
- and
- sending the data after adjusting the modem by the changed over training sequence,
- wherein, at the step of determining the kind of communication data, it is determined whether the data is an image block or an error retransmission frame.
A method of adjusting a modem in facsimile communications, comprising the steps of:
- determining a kind of communication data to be sent;
- changing over a modem adjustment to either a long training sequence or a short training sequence depending upon the result of the determination:
- and
- sending the data after adjusting the modem by the changed over training sequence,
- wherein at the step of determining the kind of communication data, it is determined whether the data is a TCF signal or an image block.
A data transmission apparatus for transmitting first data information and second data information, comprising:
- generation means for generating a training signal with a selected one of a long training sequence and a short training sequence;
- and
- changeover means for changing over to either the long training sequence or the short training sequence, by determining whether data information to be sent after the training signal is the first data information or the second data information depending upon the result of the determination,
- wherein the second data information is an error transmission frame of the first data information.
