Abstract
Abstract A high-speed G3 facsimile communication system for shortening the time required for procedure control performed before transmission of image data is started, a quiescent time intervening between the connection of a receiver equipment to the transmission line and the starting of sending the control procedure signal CED is utilized for sending out a newly provided procedure shortening signal to the receiver equipment, and upon receiving a response of the receiver equipment indicating that the receiver is capable of communicating in an optional mode other than G3 mode, the sender station sends subsequently the requisite control procedure signal from the high-speed modem thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A method for high-speed G3 facsimile communication, comprising steps of: establishing a transmission line between a sender station and a receiver station; sending from said sender station a procedure shortening signal as a low-speed modem signal before said receiver station can send out a CED signal, said procedure shortening signal being of a HDLC-frame structure, wherein areas FIF and FCF thereof contain predetermined bit arrays indicating a nonstandard command not based on the CCITT T30 and a data rate designating the transmission rate, respectively; sending out initial identification signals NSF and CSI from said receiver station in response to the reception of said procedure shortening signal; and sending out the control procedure signals TCF, TSI and NSS from said sender station as high-speed modem signals in response to the reception of said initial identification signals.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
135 words
A method for high-speed G3 facsimile communication, comprising steps of: establishing a transmission line between a sender station and a receiver station; sending from said sender station a procedure shortening signal as a low-speed modem signal before said receiver station can send out a CED signal, said procedure shortening signal being of a HDLC-frame structure, wherein areas FIF and FCF thereof contain predetermined bit arrays indicating a nonstandard command not based on the CCITT T30 and a data rate designating the transmission rate, respectively; sending out initial identification signals NSF and CSI from said receiver station in response to the reception of said procedure shortening signal; and sending out the control procedure signals TCF, TSI and NSS from said sender station as high-speed modem signals in response to the reception of said initial identification signals.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
119 words
A method for high-speed G3 facsimile communication, comprising steps of: establishing a transmission line between a sender station and a receiver station; sending from said sender station a procedure shortening signal as a low-speed modem signal before said receiver station can send out a CED signal; sending out initial identification signals NSF and CSI, while inhibiting the sending out of the CED signal and a DIS signal, from said receiver station in response to the reception of said procedure shortening signal; and sending out the control procedure signals TCF, TSI and NSS from said sender station as high-speed modem signals in response to the reception of said initial identification signals in the absence of the CED and DIS signals.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
119 words
A method for high-speed G3 facsimile communication, comprising steps of: establishing a transmission line between a sender station and a receiver station; sending from said sender station a procedure shortening signal as a low-speed modem signal before said receiver station can send out a CED signal; sending out initial identification signals NSF and CSI, while inhibiting the sending out of the CED signal and a DIS signal, from said receiver station in response to the reception of said procedure shortening signal; and sending out the control procedure signals TCF, TSI and NSS from said sender station as high-speed modem signals in response to the reception of said initial identification signals in the absence of the CED and DIS signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A method according to claim 2, said procedure shortening signal being of a HDLC-frame structure, wherein areas FIF and FCF thereof contain predetermined bit arrays indicating a nonstandard command not based on the CCITT T30 and a data rate designating the transmission rate, respectively.
