Abstract
A facsimile apparatus receives standardized video signal, and is capable of transmitting an original image signal read by a scanner and a standardized video image signal in a communication and also capable of easily and rapidly transmitting said video image signal together with the facsimile image.
Claims16
A communication apparatus comprising:
- first input means for inputting a standardized video signal standardized in accordance with a first standard;
- second input means, different from said first input means, for reading an original image to input an original image signal standardized in accordance with a second standard different from the first standard;
- and
- transmission means for transmitting a first image, having at least one page, indicative of the standardized video signal inputted by said first input means and a second image, having at least one page, indicative of the original image signal inputted by said second input means in a transmission process,
- wherein said transmission means transmits each page of the first image and each page of the second image as separate pages in a single transmission, without time-division multiplexing in units of less than a page.

A communication method comprising the steps of:
- inputting, using first input means, a standardized video signal standardized in accordance with a first standard;
- reading, using second input means different from said first input means, an original image to input an original image signal standardized in accordance with a second standard different from the first standard;
- and
- transmitting a first image, having at least one page, indicative of the standardized video signal inputted by said first input step and a second image, having at least one page, indicative of the original image signal read by said reading step in a transmission process,
- wherein said transmission step transmits each page of the first image and each page of the second image as separate pages in a single transmission, without time-division multiplexing in units of less than a page.

An image communication apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting a plurality of video images standardized by a first standard, each video image being for a respective image plane and having a respective aspect ratio;
- varying means for varying the video image for each plane without varying the respective aspect ratio to provide respective varied video images;
- generating means for generating a generated image for a single image plane having a size adapted to a second standard incorporating the varied video images and a single color space image;
- and
- transmission means for transmitting image data representing the generated image by a communication method based on the second standard.
