Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A multi-address calling system for transmitting the same picture data to a plurality of destinations, characterized by comprising: reading means (511) for reading picture data on papers; compressing means (513) for compressing the picture data read by said reading means (511); storing means (515) for storing the picture data compressed by said compressing means (513); communication control means (517) for transmitting and receiving signals for communication procedures with said destinations; and control means (519) for effecting said communication procedures in parallel with and asynchronous with the processes by said reading means (511), said compressing means (513), and said storing means (515).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A multi-address calling system for transmitting the same picture data to a plurality of destinations, characterized by comprising: reading means (511) for reading picture data on papers; compressing means (513) for compressing the picture data read by said reading means (511); storing means (515) for storing the picture data compressed by said compressing means (513); communication control means (517) for transmitting and receiving signals for communication procedures with said destinations; and control means (519) for effecting said communication procedures in parallel with and asynchronous with the processes by said reading means (511), said compressing means (513), and said storing means (515).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A multi-address calling system according to claim 1, wherein said communication procedures in parallel with and asynchronous with the processes by said reading means (511), said compressing means (513), and said storing means (515) are the procedures between a transmission source and a first destination.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A multi-address calling system according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said communication procedures include a pre-procedure before transmitting picture data and a post-procedure after transmitting picture data, and said reading means (511) comprises means for continuously reading pages, independently from said pre-procedure, page by page immediately after said pages are set on a suitable document feeder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A multi-address calling system according to claim 3, wherein said compressing means (513) comprises means for compressing, the icture data read by said reading means (511) independently from said pre-procedure.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A multi-address calling system according to claim 3 or 4, wherein said storing means comprises means for storing, independently from said pre-procedure, the compressed picture data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
A multi-address calling system according to claim 3, 4, or 5, wherein said control means (519) comprises means for reading and transmitting, independently from the storing operation of said storing means, the picture data of the first page from said storing means to said first destination immediately after said pre-procedure for the first destination is finished.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A multi-address calling system according to claim 3, 4, 5, or 6,wherein said control means (519) comprises means for reading the picture data of pages on and after the second page from said storing means to said first destination immediately after said post-procedure for the previous page is finished.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
A multi-address calling system according to any of claims 3 to 7, wherein said control means (519) comprises means for reading and transmitting, independently from the storing operation of said storing means, the picture data of the first page from said storing means to the second destination immediately after said pre-procedure for said second destination is finished.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
50 words
A multi-address calling system according to any of claims 3 to 8, wherein said control means (519) comprises means for reading the picture data of pages on and after the second page from said storing means to the second destination immediately after said post-procedure for the previous page is finished.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
19 words
A multi-address calling system according to any preceding claim, wherein said system multi-address calling system is a facsimile device.
