Patent number: 5226074Abstract: A method for interactively diagnosing and controlling a state of a remote facsimile device which communicates with a center facsimile device of an after-service center by using non-standard format by writing or reading data into or from memory includes the steps of: requesting entry of a telephone number of the remote facsimile device after determining a remote control mode exists when a function key is pressed; checking whether a memory reading or writing mode is selected and determining whether a remote diagnosis process, a name registration process, a telephone number registration process and an option reading process are selected. When the above processes are selected respectively, each process is performed and results are printed. If, however, the option reading process was not selected, the method proceeds to a memory reading process for repeatedly performing the foregoing steps.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1991Date of Patent: July 6, 1993Assignee: SamSung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Sang-Ho Han

Patent number: 5179446Abstract: Radio transmitting and receiving circuits are disclosed which operate wireless without interference and where the main body of a video camera is detached from the view finder. A timing controller applied to a radio transmitting circuit inserts an encoding signal into a video signal having a predetermined horizontal synchronizing signal interval. Meanwhile, a timing controller applied to a radio receiving circuit extracts the encoded video signal and supplies it to a decoder. The decoded signal is read in conjunction with a reference code signal in a code discriminator, and the received signal is displayed in the view finder only if the codes match.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1991Date of Patent: January 12, 1993Assignee: SamSung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kwon-pyo Hong
