Color Image Communication Device and Color Image Communication Method

Abstract

A color image communication device includes a transmission unit which carries out a facsimile transmission of image data of a sYCC-Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) color space, and a control unit which controls a facsimile transmission of the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space without setting size information in a facsimile communication protocol when the image data to be transmitted by facsimile is the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space.

       19 . A color image communication device comprising:
 means for receiving a file of image data a sYCC-Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) color space in accordance with a facsimile communication protocol; and   means for controlling, to process the file of the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space in accordance with function information attached to the received file of the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space, without determining size information of the facsimile communication protocol when the received color image data is the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space.   
   
   
       20 . The color image communication device according to  claim 19 , wherein when the received color image data is the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space, the means for controlling processes the file of the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space in accordance with the function information attached to the received file of the image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space, without determining the size information in accordance with a Digital Command Signal (DCS) of the facsimile communication protocol. 
   
   
       21 . The color image communication device according to  claim 19 , wherein when the received color image data is not image data of the sYCC-JPEG color space, the means for controlling processes the image data of the color space other than the sYCC-JPEG color space in accordance with the size information included in the facsimile communication protocol. 
   
   
       22 . The color image communication device according to  claim 21 , wherein a CIELAB color space is included as the color space other than the sYCC-JPEG color space.
