Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the operator of a caller to prevent a sent text from being left without need of making a new phone call to the operator of a called party after the transmission of a text. CONSTITUTION:An operation section 6 outputs a telephone number of an opposite equipment entered and designated at text transmission and a code corresponding to the telephone number of a specific telephone set. A network control section 1 sends a non-standard equipment setting signal resulting from a facsimile control protocol signal added with the code from the operation section 6 to a line. A code decoding section 3 informs the code in the non-standard equipment signal received from the line to a control section 4. When the reception of a text is finished, the control section 4 calls the telephone number corresponding to the received code when the reception of the text is finished and a voice generating section 5 sends a preset voice signal (representing the reception of text) according to the reply of the telephone set receiving a call.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine that is used on a telephone line and has an automatic calling function.

0002

[Prior Art] In a conventional facsimile device, the telephone number of the receiving facsimile machine that sends the facsimile message is input, and after the message transmission is completed, the sender calls the recipient and notifies the recipient that the message has been sent. do.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus requires that the sender sends a message by facsimile and, after the transmission is completed, notifies the recipient of the message by phone, that the transmitted data cannot be returned. There is a problem in that documents are left unattended at the facsimile machine.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The facsimile device of the present invention includes means for specifying a telephone number of a destination device and a code corresponding to a telephone number of a specific telephone by inputting an operation;
means for transmitting a non-standard device setting signal in which the code is added to a facsimile communication control procedure signal; a means for decoding the code in the non-standard device signal received from a line; and completion of receiving the facsimile communication. means for calling a telephone number corresponding to the code to the line when
and means for transmitting a preset voice signal to the line when an incoming call due to the call is detected.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0006] The CCITT Recommendation T30 allows the optional use of non-standard equipment specification signals (hereinafter referred to as NSS) as procedure signals for transmission control. When transmitting a document, the operator inputs the telephone number of the other party's device and the code corresponding to the telephone number of a specific other party's telephone from the operation unit 6. The network control unit 1 transmits the NSS in which the specified code is added to the specific bits in addition to the procedure signal.

[0007] During reception, the demodulation unit 2
A procedure signal is sent to the demodulator 2, and the data demodulated is sent to the code decoder 3. The code decoder 3 first determines whether or not NSS exists in the procedure signal, and if NSS exists, determines the presence or absence of a specific bit in NSS, and if there is a specific bit in NSS, In this case, a code specifying a specific party is notified to the control unit 4. The control unit 4 controls the network control unit 1 to make a call to the telephone number corresponding to the notified code, and when the other party's telephone responds, the voice generation unit 5
control and send a voice notification to a specific recipient through the telephone line that an incoming facsimile call has been received.

[0008]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention notifies the telephone designated by the sender of the incoming message using a preset voice signal when the reception of the facsimile is completed, so that the operator on the sender side can There is no need to call the person handling the call again, and it is possible to prevent the sent message from being left unattended.
