Claims
- 1. A data transmission system for transmitting data through a data transmission line, comprising:
- a first station for sending character code data onto the data transmission line;
- a second station for sending image data onto the data transmission line;
- a third station for processing any one of the character code data and the image data received from the data transmission line; and
- a converting station for receiving data sent from at least one of said first and second stations through the data transmission line, for converting data, between the character code data and the image data, which cannot be processed by said third station, into data which can be processed by said third station, and for sending out the data which can be processed by said third station onto the data transmission line.
- 2. A system according to claim 1, wherein said first station comprises word-processing means for creating a sentence and generating the character code data corresponding thereto.
- 3. A system according to claim 1, wherein said second station comprises read means for reading an image by an image sensor and generating the image data representing black/white information of the image.
- 4. A system according to claim 1, wherein said converting station comprises memory means for storing a conversion table for converting the character code data or the image data to the image data or the character code data, respectively.
- 5. A data transmission system according to claim 1, wherein said stations are connected in a closed loop by a data transmission line.
- 6. A data transmission system for transmitting data through a data transmission line, comprising:
- a first station for sending character code data onto the data transmission line;
- a second station for sending the character code data onto the data transmission line, said second station being different from said first station;
- a third station for receiving the character code data sent from said first and second stations through the data transmission line, and converting the received character code data to image data which is sent onto the data transmission line; and
- a fourth station for receiving the image data sent from said third station through the data transmission line and processing the received image data.
- 7. A data transmission system according to claim 7, wherein said stations are connected in a closed loop by a data transmission line.
- 8. A system according to claim 6, wherein at least one of said first and second stations comprises word-processing means for creating a sentence and generating the character code data corresponding thereto.
- 9. A system according to claim 6, wherein said fourth station comprises print means for printing an image in accordance with the received image data.
- 10. A system according to claim 6, wherein said third station comprises memory means for storing a conversion table for converting the character code data to the image data.
- 11. A system according to claim 6, wherein said third station comprises data memory means for storing the character code data corresponding to a page of a document.
- 12. A data transmission system for transmitting data through a data transmission line, comprising:
- a transmitting station for sending character code data onto the data transmission line;
- a plurality of receiving stations, each of which receives image data from the data transmission line, can process the received image data and has a respective address associated therewith; and
- a converting station including memory means for storing the addresses of said receiving stations, an address of the receiving station being included in the data from said transmitting station to indicate the destination of the data, converting means for receiving the character code data sent from said transmitting station through the data transmission line and converting the received character code data to the image data, and means for transmitting, through the data transmission line, the image data from said converting means to the receiving station represented by the address stored in said memory means.
- 13. A system according to claim 12, wherein said converting station comprises data memory means for storing the character code data corresponding to a page of a document.
- 14. A system according to claim 12, wherein said transmitting station comprises word-processing means for creating a sentence and generating the character code data corresponding thereto.
- 15. A system according to claim 12, wherein said receiving station comprises print means for printing an image in accordance with the received image data.
- 16. A system according to claim 12, wherein said converting means comprises store means for storing a conversion table for converting the character code data to the image data.
- 17. A data transmission system for transmitting data through a data transmission line, comprising:
- a first station for sending one of character code data and image data onto the data transmission line;
- a second station for processing the character code data received from the data transmission line;
- a third station for processing the image data received from the data transmission line; and
- a converting station for receiving the data from said first station through the data transmission line, converting data, which cannot be processed by one of said second and third stations which is designated by said first station, to data which can be processed thereby, and sending, through the data transmission line, the data which can be processed to said one of said second and third stations which is designated by said first station.
- 18. A system according to claim 17, wherein said first station comprises one of word-processing means for creating a sentence and generating the character code data corresponding thereto, and reader means for reading an image by an image sensor and generating the image data representing black/white information of the image.
- 19. A system according to claim 17, wherein said converting station comprises memory means for storing a conversion table for converting the character code data or the image data to the image data or the character code data, respectively.
- 20. A system according to claim 17, wherein said stations are connected in closed loop by a data transmission line.
