Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a user easily and promptly understand a transmitting source by producing a specific melody or sounds corresponding to the transmitting source based on the data related to the transmitting source at the time of completing reception. CONSTITUTION:Signals transmitted from transmitting-side facsimile equipment 1 are sent to receiving-side facsimile equipment 2 designated by the key operating section 3 of the equipment 1 through a public telephone circuit 6. At the time of transmitting the signals, a password to be transmitted as coded data is designated by operating the section 3 on the equipment 1 side. When a transmitting original is set to the equipment 1 and the transmission to the equipment 2 is started after direct inward dialing, the password is sent together with the NSS signal of an option frame. On the equipment 2 side, the transmitted password is stored and the piece of music corresponding to the password is read out from a sound synthesizing LSI 7 by means of a control means at the moment when the protocol of the communication is terminated. The sound of the read-out piece of music is produced through a loudspeaker 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device that transmits image data that does not change over time using a telephone line or the like.

[Prior Art] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional facsimile machine.
In the figure, 1 is a sending facsimile machine, 2 is a receiving facsimile machine, 3 is a key operation section of each facsimile machine 1, 2, 4 is a main control microcomputer board of each facsimile machine 1, 2, 5 is each facsimile machine 1 ,2 speakers,
A public telephone line 6 connects the facsimile machines 1 and 2.

Next, the operation will be explained. Sending facsimile machine 1
The signal transmitted from the facsimile machine 2 is sent via the public telephone line 6 to the receiving facsimile machine 2 input and designated by the key operation unit 3, and is received and recorded by the facsimile machine 2. At the end of recording (reception), a buzzer sounds from the speaker 5 for a certain period of time in response to a command from the main control microcomputer board 4 to notify the user.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional facsimile device is configured as described above, the buzzer from the speaker 5 only sounds when reception is completed, and the destination cannot be known without looking at the received recorded image. I couldn't.

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and is a facsimile machine that makes it possible to easily and immediately determine whether received data has been sent from a specific recipient without looking at the recorded image. The purpose is to obtain equipment.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile device according to the present invention includes a storage means for storing a plurality of types of melodies or voices, and a specific facsimile device corresponding to the transmission destination based on data regarding the transmission destination included in the transmission data. and control means for reading out the melody or voice from the storage means and generating it from the speaker when reception is completed.

[Function] In the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, when transmission data from the transmission destination is sent, the control means obtains data regarding the transmission destination from the transmission data,
Based on this data, a specific melody or voice corresponding to the transmission destination is read out from the storage means and generated from the speaker when reception is completed. This notifies the user, operator, etc. that data has been sent from a specific destination.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, like the conventional device, 1 is a sending facsimile device, 2 is a receiving facsimile device, 3 is a key operation section of each facsimile device 1, 2, 4 is a main control microcomputer board of each facsimile device 1, 2, Reference numeral 5 indicates a speaker of each facsimile machine 1, 2, and 6 indicates a public telephone line connecting the facsimile machines 1 and 2. L
An SI (storage means) 7 is provided, and several melodies are registered and stored in advance in this speech synthesis LSI 7.

Also, on the main control microcomputer board 4, there is a voice synthesis LSI 7.
A control means is provided for successively controlling the melodies stored in the LSI 7, and this control means performs speech synthesis to synthesize a specific melody corresponding to the destination, based on data regarding the destination included in the transmission data. Read from
It is generated from the speaker 5 at the end of reception.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be explained.

Similar to the conventional device, the signal transmitted from the sending facsimile device 1 is sent to the key operation unit 3 through the public telephone line 6.
The data is sent to the receiving facsimile machine 2 inputted and specified by the facsimile machine 2, and is received and recorded by the facsimile machine 2.

At this time, in the sending facsimile W1, a password is designated by operating the key operation section 3, and this password is transmitted as encoded data in the communication protocol. For example, if you enter a 2-digit password as II OI II
shall be. In addition, in the speech synthesis LS17, "01"
is song A, II O2II is song B, II O31+ is song C
A password and the corresponding song are set.

After specifying the password, the user places the original to be sent on the sending facsimile machine 1 and dials the number to start sending the original to the receiving facsimile machine 2. When the communication state is entered, for example, in phase B of the G3 mode communication protocol, the password is included in the NSS signal of the option frame and transmitted.

The receiving facsimile machine 2 stores the transmitted password (data related to the destination included in the transmitted data) 1101'', and when the communication protocol is completed, the control means changes the password to ``01''. The corresponding song A is read out from the speech synthesis LSI 7, and the song A is emitted from the speaker 5.

In this way, according to the apparatus of this embodiment, the user.

A specific melody notifies the operator that data has been sent from a specific destination.
The destination of the transmission can be determined very easily and immediately without looking at the receiving record.

Note that in the above embodiment, the melody is stored in the speech synthesis LSI 7 and emitted from the speaker 5, but even if a speech message is stored in the speech synthesis LSI 7 and emitted instead of the melody, the same effect as in the above embodiment is achieved. It has a similar effect.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a specific melody or voice corresponding to the transmission destination is generated at the end of reception based on data regarding the transmission destination, so that the user, This has the effect that an operator or the like can determine the destination of the transmission very easily and immediately.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
