Color character signal transmission system

Claim 1

In a color character signal transmission system including character signal generator means responsive to address designation for generating a corresponding character signal and a character synchronizing signal, character data memory means for providing at its read-out output an output signal containing a portion for designating an address in said character signal generator means and another portion for designating a color of a character corresponding to said character signal, and means responsive to said character signal and said another portion for color-displaying said character, wherein: the transmitting side comprises: means responsive to said another portion for generating a first synthesized signal of a combined color signal and said or reformed character synchronizing signal in access time between said address designation and color-display of said character, said combined color signal being time-serially arranged three-digit binary code designating the color of said character; means for generating a second synthesized signal of horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals and a picture signal reproduced from said character signal; and means for transmitting said first and second synthesized signals through two transmission paths, respectively; and wherein the receiving side comprises: means for regenerating said combined color signal and character synchronizing signal from the received first synthesized signal; means for regenerating said horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals and said picture signal from the received second synthesized signal; means responsive to the regenerated combined color signal and character synthronizing signal for generating three bit parallel binary code designating the color of the received picture signals;
