Abstract
Abstract The identification information addition system is provided with an identification information bearing sheet and a random access memory for storing the identification information in the random access memory with the identification information bearing sheet scanned by a scanner. The identification information stored in the random access memory is picked up when an original document or a recording sheet is scanned by a scanner or a plotter so that the identification information is added to an image information of the original document or of the recording sheet, with part of the original image information replaced with the identification information.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus comprising: a scanner on the transmitter side of said facsimile apparatus for scanning an original document, a plotter on the receiver side of said facsimile apparatus for scanning a recording sheet, an identification information bearing sheet on said transmitter side which bears an identification information at a predetermined position thereof, a memory apparatus on said transmitter side, a memory means for storing in a memory portion of said memory apparatus corresponding to a predetermined scanning portion of said scanner said identification information which is obtained with said identification information bearing sheet scanned by said scanner, a pick-out means for picking out said identification information stored in said memory apparatus at said predetermined scanning position of said scanner when said original document is scanned by said scanner, and an information displacement means for displacing part of an image information which is obtained by scanning said original document, with the identification information picked up; said plotter upon reception of the scanned information from said original document and said identification information printing the exact scanned information and identification information in the same location on said recording sheet as they appear on said original document.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
200 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus comprising: a scanner on the transmitter side of said facsimile apparatus for scanning an original document, a plotter on the receiver side of said facsimile apparatus for scanning a recording sheet, an identification information bearing sheet on said transmitter side which bears an identification information at a predetermined position thereof, a memory apparatus on said transmitter side, a memory means for storing in a memory portion of said memory apparatus corresponding to a predetermined scanning portion of said scanner said identification information which is obtained with said identification information bearing sheet scanned by said scanner, a pick-out means for picking out said identification information stored in said memory apparatus at said predetermined scanning position of said scanner when said original document is scanned by said scanner, and an information displacement means for displacing part of an image information which is obtained by scanning said original document, with the identification information picked up; said plotter upon reception of the scanned information from said original document and said identification information printing the exact scanned information and identification information in the same location on said recording sheet as they appear on said original document.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said identification information bearing sheet is identical in size with said original document having an image information to which said identification information is to be added.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said memory apparatus is a non-volatile random access memory.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
116 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said memory means and said pick-out means respectively comprise the same and commonly usable system consisting essentially of a main scanning direction address counter for indicating a main scanning direction address of said memory apparatus, a subscanning direction address counter for indicating a subscanning direction address of said memory apparatus, a main scanning direction delay circuit for determining a writing initiation position and a reading initiation position in the main scanning direction in said memory apparatus, and a subscanning direction delay circuit for determining a writing initiation position and a reading initiation position in the subscanning direction in said memory apparatus.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said information displacement means is a change-over circuit capable of changing over image information which is obtained by scanning said original correspondingly to the scanning position of said scanner or said plotter to an identification information which is picked up from said memory apparatus, and vice versa.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
An identification information addition system of a facsimile apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said identification information comprises a plurality of different kinds of information, which are stored in different memory portions of said memory apparatus and which can be selectively picked up from said memory apparatus.
