Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a memory transmission function capable of confirming, for each sender, whether or not a communication result is proper when executing the memory transmission mode.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Recently, a facsimile machine having a memory transmission function has been widely used in the field of business and the like.In a facsimile machine having such a memory transmission function, the reading of an original by the image reading section is performed. The scanning and the image data transmitting operation are separated, and the image data read and scanned by the image reading unit is once stored in the image memory and then automatically read from the image memory and transmitted.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when such a fax machine is shared by many people, it is not possible to immediately determine whether or not the original sent to the memory has been properly sent to the recipient, and a communication journal or management report is printed for confirmation. Even if a specific person prints out this communication journal or management report, the communication results of all the originals sent by the fax machine will be printed out as a list, so more information than necessary will be added. There were problems such as making the discrimination difficult. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and if the ID code assigned to the sender is input and set prior to the execution of the memory transmission mode, an inquiry is made by designating the ID code. Occasionally, the results of executing the memory transmission mode for documents with the ID code are aggregated, and it is an object to provide a facsimile machine with a new function that allows the display to be confirmed on the display unit. To do.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention proposed to achieve the above-mentioned object is a method for inputting an ID code of a sender and an ID code input means for transmitting an original to a memory. An ID code automatic adding means for adding the ID code to the transmitted image data, and an ID code setting / inquiring means for inquiring the transmission result of the original having the ID code after transmitting the original to the memory. The configuration is provided with a signal processing unit for discriminating the execution result of the memory transmission mode of the original document to which the ID code is inquired by the ID code setting / inquiring means and displaying the list on the display unit.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, the sender ID code is set and inquired by the sender ID code setting / inquiring means prior to sending the original to the memory (when the sending time is designated, the sending time is also set at the same time) If the input is made), the signal processing unit performs the memory transmission operation of the original document to which the ID code is added, then determines the communication result, and stores the transmission result and the transmission time. Then, when the sender ID code setting / inquiring means designates the ID code and inquires about the communication result, the signal processing unit displays the communication result on the document to which the designated ID code is assigned on the display unit. Let

【Example】

 An embodiment of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of a facsimile device A of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a sender's ID code input means, 2 is a means for adding the ID code input by the ID code input means 1 to the transmitted image data when transmitting an original to a memory. It is an ID code setting / inquiring means for inquiring about the transmission result of the original having the ID code added after it is sent to the memory, and the original having the ID code added inquired by the ID code setting / inquiring means 3 The execution result of the memory transmission mode is discriminated by the signal processing unit 4 and displayed on the display unit 5 as a list.

Here, the sender's ID code input setting means 1 is realized by a combination operation of a function key and a numeric keypad provided on the operation panel, and a personal identification number of a predetermined digit is input and set as the sender's ID code. Further, as the display unit 5, the LCD provided on the operation panel is used as it is. The signal processing unit 4 is configured by using a microcomputer, and includes a reading / scanning unit that reads and scans a document, a print output unit that prints received image data on recording paper, various control operation keys, and operation of a facsimile machine. It is connected to an operation panel (not shown) having a display unit (not shown) necessary for the above.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration in which a sender's ID code is input and set using a memory card without operating various keys on the operation panel. The facsimile device A is provided with an IC card slot 6 into which a memory card C such as an IC card can be removably inserted. Therefore, the memory card C is inserted into the slot 6. When you select the memory transmission mode and operate the start switch (when you make a transmission reservation, you also set the scheduled transmission time), the documents (not shown) set in the document guide 7 are read sequentially. After being scanned, it is stored in the image memory and then transmitted to the destination. The signal processing unit determines the result of the transmission operation at this time, and the internal memory (a part of the image memory may be allocated) Then, the result is stored together with the ID code and the transmission time. In this way, after the original is transmitted to the memory, the sender's ID code is designated, or the memory card C is inserted into the slot 6 and the transmission confirmation switch 10 provided on the operation panel 9 is operated. As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission result of the document with the ID code is displayed on the display unit 8. In the figure, the set time (input time) of the memory transmission, the transmission completion time, and the transmission result OK are displayed. When there are many transmission results to be displayed, the screen of the display unit 8 is sequentially scrolled each time the transmission confirmation switch 10 is operated.

FIG. 4 shows a memory transmission confirmation monitor in which a transmission result confirmation lamp provided in advance on the operation panel of the facsimile apparatus A is turned on so that the execution result of the memory transmission can be confirmed. In the figure, five lamps are provided to display the results of memory transmission for four persons A, B, C and D. For example, if you input the ID code of A and execute memory transmission, the memory transmission One of the lamps L1 to L5 according to the number of times lights up, operate the confirmation switch to enter the ID code, and inquire about the transmission result. If the inquired original is normally transmitted, If the display lamp for the number of times of transmission is extinguished and an error occurs in transmission, etc., the display lamp blinks as shown in L 3 of the figure, so check these display states visually. Then, the transmission results of the A, B, C, and D originals can be immediately determined. Such a memory transmission confirmation monitor may be provided separately from the main body of the facsimile apparatus, and may be, for example, wireless or may transmit a code signal to be displayed.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the execution result of the memory transmission mode can be easily confirmed on the display unit for each sender, which is extremely convenient when the memory transmission is executed.
