Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to recording destination information of received documents in a facsimile machine connected to an ISDN network.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as additional information recorded in addition to a received document by a facsimile device connected to an ISDN network, the facsimile caller number display of the source of the document is
It was only done.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the above conventional example, although the source can be identified,
If a single facsimile machine is shared by multiple people and the recipient's name is not listed in the received document, it may be difficult to know who the recipient is without looking at the contents of the received document. There was a drawback that it was.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, even if a recipient's name is not written in a document received by a facsimile machine, an ISDN sub-address is assigned to destination information, and this destination information is By decoding it on the receiving side and recording it on the received paper along with the received document, it is possible to determine to whom the document was sent.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a G4 facsimile machine connected to an ISDN network will be explained as an example.

FIG. 1 is a connection diagram showing a state in which the facsimile apparatus of this embodiment is connected to an ISDN network.

1 is a network termination device which is a network termination; 2 is a bus line connecting the network termination device 1 and a plurality of terminal devices; 3 is a subscriber line; 4 is a facsimile device to which the present invention is applied; It is connected to the bus circuit 2. 5 and 6 are terminal devices connected to the bus circuit 2, 5 is a teletex device, and 6 is a digital telephone.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a facsimile machine to which the present invention is applied.

In the figure, reference numeral 21 is an operation panel section in which dials and switches for operation by an operator are arranged, and 22 is a reading section that scans a document on a transmission platform to form an image signal. 23 is LB
24 is a recording device consisting of a non-volatile memory; 25 is an operation panel control section for controlling the operation panel section; be. 26
27 is a printer control unit that controls the printer; and 28 is additional information for recording additional information on the recording paper 23-1, as will be explained in more detail later. The output control section 29 is a storage device control section for controlling the storage device 24.

210 is a microprocessor unit that controls the overall operation of this facsimile machine, and 211 is an additional information storage unit that stores destination information, which is additional information corresponding to each sub-address, in the form of a character code. It consists of a table configuration as shown in FIG.

212 is a buffer memory for storing image data;
Reference numeral 13 denotes an encoding/decoding unit 21 that compresses the image data read by the reading unit 23 or expands the compressed image data sent from the ISDN bus circuit 215.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a communication control unit that controls communication between this facsimile machine and other facsimile machines connected to the ISDN network.

Further, M is a random access memory, and 215 is an I
This is an SDN bus line.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the ISDN number system, where Fl is a subscriber number section indicating a subscriber number, and F2 is a subaddress section.

FIG. 4 shows a table structure of additional information for each sub-address, where Fil indicates a 3-digit decimal sub-address section, and Fl2 indicates a destination additional information section corresponding to each sub-address.

For example, subaddress 000 is assigned additional information "Mr. AB", subaddress 001 is assigned additional information "CD Department", and subaddress 002 is assigned additional information "EF".
The section manager is assigned, and subaddress 003 is assigned additional information "Mr. GH", and each subaddress Fil is assigned destination F12 in advance, and this additional information is stored as a character code. .

Next, regarding the control procedure of the microprocessor section 210 by the facsimile machine explained with reference to FIG. 2 above,
This will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG.

When a document is received via the communication control unit 214 in step S1, the presence or absence of a subaddress is determined in step S2. If there is no subaddress, in step S4, the received signal is decoded by the code post combination unit 213 and stored in the buffer memory 212. The stored signals are sequentially read out from this buffer memory 212 under the control of the printer control unit 27 and added to the printer 23.
A normal reception record is performed on the recording paper 23-1 using.

Note that when the printer 23 cannot record, the received document is stored in the storage device 24 under the control of the storage device control unit 29, and when the printer 23 becomes available, the contents are read out and recorded by the printer 23. Of course.

If it is determined in step S2 that there is a subaddress, the process proceeds to step S3, and destination additional information is determined according to the subaddress. That is, the received sub-address is stored in the memory M, this received sub-address is compared with the sub-address Fll of the additional information storage unit 211, and additional information F12 corresponding to the matched sub-address Fit is provided in the additional information output control unit 28. The data is stored in a memory (not shown). For example, when the received subaddress is 003, after storing 003 in the memory M, the storage device 211 is searched to read out the additional information "Mr. GH", and "Mr. GH" expressed in character code is added. Information output control section 2
Store in 8.

The additional information output control section 28 has a character generator and a dot memory, and converts the additional information (code signal) stored in the unillustrated memory into a dot signal using the character generator. , is stored in the dot memory (not shown).

When such processing is completed, the process proceeds to step S5, where additional information is added to the received document and output.

That is, the printer control unit 2 is controlled by the additional information output control unit 28.
7, and move the recording paper 23-1 to a predetermined position, for example, at a position defined by the n-th scanning line from the start of recording and the position starting from the m-th dot from the left end position of recording. Control is performed so that the additional information stored in the additional information output section 28 is output.

Figure 6 shows the recording paper 23 when the receiving subaddress is 003.
-1 indicates the recording status to sub address 00
"Mr. rGH", which is additional information corresponding to item 3, is recorded on the upper right corner of the recording paper.

[Other Embodiments] In the above embodiments, additional information was stored in the additional information storage section 211 in the form of a character code, but image data consisting of dots may be stored instead of storing code signals. good.

In this case, the character generator provided in the additional information control section 28 is not required.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, since additional information can be recorded according to the subaddress, it is possible to see at a glance whether the document came from Gaen without having to read the contents of the received document. be.
