Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A facsimile transmission system having a transmitting station and a receiving station, said transmission station adapted for line scanning graphic information which is to be transmitted to said receiving station and for forming a video signal therefrom for transmission, said receiving station adapted for receiving and detecting the video components of said signal and for line scanning a record medium to form a graphic image in accordance with information contained in the video signal and conforming to the image at said transmitting station, the improvement comprising: said transmitting station including means for generating a sequence of control signals preceding the transmission of said video signals, said receiving station including means for responding to said sequence of control signals, and transmitting a response signal to said transmitting station indicative thereof, said transmitting station further including timing means for terminating operation thereof within a predetermined interval of time after said control signals in the absence of the occurrence of said response signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
A facsimile transmission system having a transmitting station and a receiving station, said transmission station adapted for line scanning graphic information which is to be transmitted to said receiving station and for forming a video signal therefrom for transmission, said receiving station adapted for receiving and detecting the video components of said signal and for line scanning a record medium to form a graphic image in accordance with information contained in the video signal and conforming to the image at said transmitting station, the improvement comprising: said transmitting station including means for generating a sequence of control signals preceding the transmission of said video signals, said receiving station including means for responding to said sequence of control signals, and transmitting a response signal to said transmitting station indicative thereof, said transmitting station further including timing means for terminating operation thereof within a predetermined interval of time after said control signals in the absence of the occurrence of said response signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
A facsimile transceiver selectively operable in a transmitting mode or a receiving mode, said transceiver comprising: means for generating a sequence of control signals preceding the transmission of facsimile data; timer means responsive to said control signals for initiating a predetermined period in the absence of a subsequent input signal within said period, means responsive to a predetermined sequence of events for generating said input signal upon the occurrence of each of said events, and means responsive to said timer means timing said predetermined period for terminating operation of said transceiver.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
A facsimile transceiver selectively operable in a transmitting mode or a receiving mode, said transceiver comprising: means for generating a sequence of control signals preceding the transmission of facsimile data; timer means responsive to said control signals for initiating a predetermined period in the absence of a subsequent input signal within said period, means responsive to a predetermined sequence of events for generating said input signal upon the occurrence of each of said events, and means responsive to said timer means timing said predetermined period for terminating operation of said transceiver.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a facsimile transmission system having a transmitting station and a receiving station, said transmitting station adapted to establish a connection to said receiving station and said receiving station adapted to provide a ready signal to said transmitting station, the improvement comprising: means for generating a sequence of control signals preceding the transmission of facsimile data; timer means responsive to said control signals for timing a predetermined period in the absence of a subsequent receipt of said ready signal within said period, means included in said receiving station for generating said ready signal in response to said control signals, and means responsive to said timer means timing said predetermined period for terminating operation of said transmitting station.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a facsimile transmission system having a transmitting station and a receiving station, said transmitting station adapted to establish a connection to said receiving station and said receiving station adapted to provide a ready signal to said transmitting station, the improvement comprising: means for generating a sequence of control signals preceding the transmission of facsimile data; timer means responsive to said control signals for timing a predetermined period in the absence of a subsequent receipt of said ready signal within said period, means included in said receiving station for generating said ready signal in response to said control signals, and means responsive to said timer means timing said predetermined period for terminating operation of said transmitting station.
