Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically connect the line between the line of transmission destination of transmitting originals and the title equipment by providing a sheet on which a transmission number is written, a recognition circuit for the sheet, and a line connecting circuit. CONSTITUTION:A sheet recognition circuit 2 reads recognition information 6 of the sheet, which is previously attached to the cover of the transmitting originals, and on which line connection information about the transmission destination number of the transmitting originals, the number of transmitting originals, etc., are written, discriminates to which destination the transmitting originals are to be transmitted, and outputs a line connection request signal 7 and line connection data 8 to a line connecting circuit 3 based on the recognized information. Namely, when the transmitting originals are to be transmitted, the sheet recognition circuit 2 reads the sheet, detects the contents of the sheet, automatically connects the line, and transmits the transmitting originals by attaching the sheet, on which the transmission destination number is written, to the cover of the transmitting originals. Thus, the line which is conventionally connected by dialing can be automatically connected.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to facsimile devices.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of facsimile machine, as shown in FIG. 3, after setting a transmission document in the transmission document insertion slot 11, the transmission operator dials the number of the destination to connect the line.
The manuscript was being sent out.

That is, a dial signal is transmitted using a telephone or a dial key provided in the network control unit 13 that controls connection with the telephone line, and when the destination is connected and there is a response, the transmission control unit 12 detects the response and performs a predetermined transmission. The original to be sent was sent out through the following control procedures.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the conventional facsimile machines mentioned above, when connecting the line to the other party, a person has to turn the dial one time at a time. If the device was in the process of sending another document, it would have to wait until that transmission was finished, or if the device had a reserved dialing function, it would have to enter the destination's transmission number to send the document. Either way, the drawback is that a person must turn a dial to connect the line.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile device of the present invention includes a sheet insertion slot for placing a sheet of paper with a destination number written thereon together with a transmission document;
It is configured to include a paper recognition circuit that recognizes the destination number and outputs a line connection request signal, and a line connection circuit that receives the line connection request signal, dials the destination number, and establishes a line connection. .

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, there is a multi-stage sheet insertion slot 1 in which a sheet with the destination number written on it is placed as the cover of the transmission document together with the transmission document, and a line that recognizes the destination number on the sheet. A paper recognition circuit 2 that outputs a connection request signal 7, a line connection circuit 3 that sends a dial signal to the destination number in response to the line connection request signal 7 and connects the line 5, and a Discharging roller 4-. 4b
.

4°.

That is, when sending a transmission document, by attaching a sheet with the destination number written on the cover of the document to be sent, the sheet recognition circuit 2 reads the sheet, detects its contents, and automatically sends the document. Since the line is connected and the original to be transmitted is transmitted, the only human work required is to place the original to be transmitted in the sheet insertion slot 1.

The paper recognition circuit 2 reads the paper recognition information 6, which is stamped on the cover of the transmission document and describes the line connection information of the destination number of the transmission document, the number of sheets, etc., and determines where the transmission document should be sent. It determines whether the data should be transmitted, and outputs a line connection request signal 7 and line connection data 8 to the line connection circuit 3 based on the recognized information. However, the paper recognition information 6 recognized by the paper recognition circuit 2 is not transmitted to the other party, and the paper is ejected from the apparatus via ejection rollers 4a to 4°.

The line connection circuit 3 connects the line to the destination of the transmission document based on the information from the paper recognition circuit 2.

If the line with the destination cannot be connected, the call will be made again.
If the line cannot be connected even after re-calling a predetermined number of times, the line is disconnected, the original to be sent is ejected, and the process moves on to transmitting the next original.

This makes it possible to automatically connect a line that previously was connected by turning a dial.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the second embodiment, a branch circuit 9 is provided between the sheet insertion slot 1 and the paper recognition circuit 2 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The information written on the paper includes information that is necessary and unnecessary from the perspective of the other party, so information that is unnecessary from the perspective of the other party, such as line connection information, is transferred to the branch circuit 9. Carry out the separation.

Therefore, the line connection information 63 is only sent to the paper recognition circuit 2 and not to the other party, and other information is sent to the other party.

The paper recognition circuit 2 determines where to send the transmission document based on the information transmitted from the branch circuit 9, and sends a line connection request signal 7 and line connection data to the line connection circuit 3. Transfer 8. The line connection circuit 3 connects the line to the destination of the transmission document based on the information from the paper recognition circuit 2. If the line with the recipient cannot be connected, it will make a re-call, and if it is not connected even after calling a predetermined number of times at a predetermined time interval, the line will be disconnected, the original to be sent will be ejected, and the next original will be sent. Move to.

This makes it possible to automatically connect a line that previously was connected by turning a dial.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has a paper on which a transmission number is written, a paper recognition circuit for the paper, and a line connection circuit, thereby automatically connecting the line to the destination of the transmission document, which was conventionally connected by a human. There is an effect that can be connected.
