Transmitter device having means for automatically transmitting data remaining therein upon its re-activation
First Claim
1. A transmitter device comprising:
- a power source for activating the transmitter device;
input means for inputting a request signal;
first control means formulating data to be transmitted based on the request signal, the first control means including a memory device which is able to memorize the request signal therein as a backup request signal even when a power source becomes unable to activate the transmitter device, the first control means eliminating the backup signal from the memory device upon completion of transmission of the data;
second control means for formulating the data to be transmitted based on the backup request signal upon reactivation of the transmitter device if the backup request signal is still memorized in the memory device; and
means for transmitting the data formulated in the first control means and in the second control means.

Abstract
Data formulated according to a user'"'"'s request signal is transmitted from a transmitter device to a receiver device under a wireless or a wired system. The transmitter device includes a transmission controller that formulates the data to be transmitted and memorizes the request signal as a backup signal. If the data transmission is not completed due to a power source trouble such as a voltage drop, the data to be transmitted is automatically formulated again based on the backup signal and sent out to the receiver. If the data transmission is successful, the backup signal is eliminated from a memory. Thus, the data requested by the user is transmitted without fail even if the transmitter becomes temporarily inoperative.

6. A method of transmitting data from a transmitter to a receiver, the method comprising steps of:
-
inputting a request signal to the transmitter;
formulating data to be transmitted based on the request signal;
memorizing the request signal as a backup request signal;
transmitting the formulated data to the receiver;
eliminating the backup request signal if transmission of the data is completed;
formulating data to be transmitted, upon reactivation of the transmitter, based on the backup request signal if the backup request signal is still memorized; and
transmitting the data formulated based on the backup request signal to the receiver.
