Facsimile information processing apparatus for video cassette tape recorder and method of the same

Abstract

An improved facsimile information processing apparatus and a method of the same which are capable of overcoming the resolution difference problem between a facsimile machine, a television, and a VCR, more easily searching a desired information, and selectively printing the facsimile information displayed on the screen as a result of the search, which includes a decoder for converting a facsimile information transmitted thereto into a binary data; a frame memory for dividing the facsimile information as much as one sheet into a plurality of frames and for storing it; a converter for converting the binary data of the decoder into a parallel data of a byte unit, storing it in the frame memory, and converting the frame data read from the memory into a serial data; a switch for selectively outputting between the serial data of the converter and a luminance signal divided from a broadcast signal; a signal modulator for modulating the output of the switch to have a predetermined recording characteristic; a record/reproduce unit for receiving the output of the signal modulator and for performing the record/reproduce operation; and an image encoder for converting the signal inputted thereto through the switch into a combined image signal and for outputting it to a television monitor.
