Claims
- 1. An image communicating apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting code data such as a character code or the like;
- converting means for converting said input code data into image data;
- transmitting means for transmitting the code data inputted by said input means or the image data converted by said converting means; and
- control means for judging a faculty of a communication partner station and for judging a line state, thereby selecting either one of a mode for transmitting the code data and a mode for transmitting the image data converted by the converting means in accordance with the faculty of the communication partner station and the line state.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said transmitting means transmits the code data in accordance with a facsimile communicating procedure in an error retransmitting mode.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising memory means for storing information indicative of a faculty of the communication partner station,
- and wherein said control means judges the faculty of the communication partner station in accordance with the information stored in said memory means.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising memory means for storing information indicative of a state of the line connected to the communication partner station,
- and wherein said control means judges a state of the line connected to the communication partner station in accordance with the information stored in said memory means.
- 5. An image communicating apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting code data such as a character code or the like;
- converting means for converting said input code data into image data;
- transmitting means for transmitting the code data inputted by said input means or the image data converted by said converting means; and
- control means for judging a faculty of a communication partner station and for judging a line state, thereby selecting either one of a mode for transmitting the code data and a mode for transmitting the image data converted by the converting means in accordance with the results of the judgment,
- wherein said transmitting means transmits the code data in accordance with a facsimile communicating procedure in an error retransmitting mode, and
- wherein when said code data is transmitted in the error retransmitting mode and error data remains due to a defective line state, said control means selects the mode for transmitting the image data resulting from operation of said converting means.
- 6. A data communicating apparatus for communicating code data, comprising:
- converting means for converting said code data to be transmitted into image data;
- transmitting means for transmitting said code data or said image data; and
- control means for judging a faculty of a communication partner station and for judging a communicating condition, thereby selecting either one of a mode for transmitting said code data and a mode for transmitting said image data converted by said converting means in accordance with the faculty of the communication partner station and the communicating condition.
- 7. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said transmitting means transmits the code data in accordance with a facsimile communicating procedure in an error retransmitting mode.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising memory means for storing information indicative of a faculty of the communication partner station,
- and wherein said control means judges the faculty of the communication partner station in accordance with the information stored in said memory means.
- 9. An apparatus according to claim 6, further having memory means for storing information indicative of the communicating condition with the communication partner station,
- and wherein said control means judges the communicating condition with the communication partner station in accordance with the information stored in said memory means.
- 10. A data communicating apparatus for communicating code data, comprising:
- converting means for converting said code data to be transmitted into image data;
- transmitting means for transmitting said code data or said image data; and
- control means for judging a faculty of a communication partner station and for judging a communicating condition, thereby selecting either one of a mode for transmitting said code data and a mode for transmitting said image data converted by said converting means in accordance with the results of the judgement,
- wherein said transmitting means transmits the code data in accordance with a facsimile communicating procedure in an error retransmitting mode, and
- wherein when said code data is transmitted in the error retransmitting mode and the error data remains due to a defective communicating condition, said control means selects the mode for transmitting the image data of said converting means.
- 11. A communicating method of code data, comprising the steps of:
- judging a faculty of a communication partner station and a communicating condition;
- transmitting the code data as it is in the case where said communication partner station has a receiving function of the code data and the communicating condition is good; and
- converting the code data into image data and transmitting said image data in the case where the communicating condition is not good even if the communication partner station has the receiving faculty of the code data.
- 12. A method according to claim 11, wherein when the communication without a communication error can be performed, it is determined that the communicating condition is good, on the other hand, when there is a communication error, it is decided that the communicating condition is defective.
- 13. A method according to claim 11, further comprising the steps of:
- previously registering information indicative of the faculty of the communication partner station; and
- judging the faculty of the communication partner station in accordance with said registered information when the code data is transmitted.
- 14. A method according to claim 11, further comprising the steps of:
- previously registering the faculty of the communication partner station and information indicative of a past communicating condition with said communication partner station; and
- judging the faculty of the communication partner station and the communicating condition in accordance with said registered information when the code data is transmitted.
