Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily know the telephone number of a called party equipment, to which an original is desired to be transmitted, according to destination information from an arbitrary terminal by transmitting the destination information by a request signal detected from a line to which a call is incoming. CONSTITUTION:A facsimile equipment is composed of a communication network control part 1, a modulation/demodulation part 2, a transmission control part 3, a slip preparation part 4, a destination information storage part 5, an operation part 6, a terminal control part 7 and a communication network line 8. The destination names and the telephone numbers of the plural called party terminals are included in the destination information and these information are stored. Then, the picture signal of a slip prepared from the destination information is outputted. When the request signal to request the transmission of the slip is detected from the line to which the call is terminated, the picture signal is transmitted to the line by the request signal. Thus, it is not necessary to investigate the telephone number of the called party terminal at the time of communication.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine that transmits information in response to an incoming call from a receiving side.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional facsimile machines, the destination information of the other party's terminal with which you frequently communicate can be registered in one-touch dialing or speed dialing inside the device, allowing you to communicate without having to dial the telephone number of the other party's terminal each time.
A call is being made using speed dialing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile device is convenient and good when communicating with a second terminal that is registered with the speed dial on the first terminal, but it is convenient when communicating with a second terminal that is registered with the speed dial on the first terminal. If you want to send a message and you do not remember the telephone number of the second terminal, there is a drawback that it takes time and effort to look up the telephone number of the second terminal.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a means for storing destination information including destination names and telephone numbers of a plurality of destination terminals, a means for outputting an image signal of a form created from the destination information, and a means for outputting an image signal of a form created from the destination information, and The apparatus includes means for detecting a request signal requesting transmission of a form, and means for transmitting the image signal to the line in response to the request signal.

〔Example〕

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

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2(a)
, (b) are communication sequence diagrams of communication control procedures for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

Communication control procedure 1 detects a ringer signal from line 8,
The terminal control unit 7 is notified of the incoming call and a line is set up. At this time, the terminal control section 7 informs the transmission control section 3, modem section 2, and communication network control section 7 that it is a facsimile device to the line 8.
and waits for the second dial signal to be sent from the terminals connected via line 8.

The terminal control unit 7 that has communicated the second dial consisting of the password and the function number determines the type of form requested by the other party's terminal, and requests form creation n4 to create the form.

The form creation unit 4 transmits the image signal of the form created from the destination information of the destination terminal stored and managed in the destination information storage unit 5 through the modulation/demodulation unit 2, the communication network control unit 1, and the line 8, and sends the image signal to the other party. The terminal prints out the form.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are communication sequence diagrams of the communication control means for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

Here, the procedure signal conforms to CCITT (International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee) recommendation T30.

Figure 2(a) shows the normal operation procedure, in which the called transmitter:
It automatically responds in response to a ringer signal from a calling receiver requesting a report output, and a called station identification signal (hereinafter referred to as CED) is followed by a digital identification signal (hereinafter referred to as D), which is an initial identification signal.
IS) is returned to the calling receiver. Upon receiving this, the calling receiver notifies the called transmitter of the password and the function number indicating the form type using the second dial, and the called transmitter
Only when the password matches the pre-registered password and the function number is appropriate, an acknowledgment (hereinafter referred to as ACK) is returned to the calling receiver. The operator on the calling receiver side receives this and presses the communication switch to receive DI.
S is sent, and a request to have the form sent is output to the called transmitter. The called transmitter returns a digital command signal (DC3) to the DIS, and thereafter transmits the CCITT Recommendation T301.
Figure 2 (b), in which the specified form is sent to the calling receiver according to the calling procedure, is used when the format of the second dial sent from the calling receiver is incorrect or the passwords do not match. The called transmitter, which has received the incorrect second dial, sends a line disconnection command signal (DCN) to the calling receiver and restores the line 8.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows any terminal to easily know the telephone number of the other party's device to which the document is to be sent based on the destination information by transmitting the destination information using the request signal detected from the incoming line. .
