Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus capable of confirming registered contents such as one-touch keys and speed dial keys by displaying them on a display.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus, registered contents such as one-touch keys and speed dial keys, for example, telephone numbers are stored in a memory. When confirming the registered contents, the registered contents stored in the memory are read out and printed out on the dial list.

Here, the operation of the conventional facsimile apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When trying to confirm the registered contents of the one-touch key or speed dial key stored in the memory (step 4
1) The key input control unit monitors whether the instruction input from the key input unit is the output of the dial list (step 42). In the case of a dial list output command, registered contents, such as a telephone number, are read from the memory (step 43), and the read registered contents are output to the printing unit to create a dial list (step 44). .

FIG. 5 shows an example of a dial list in which one-touch key numbers 51, speed dial key numbers 52, station names 53, telephone numbers 54, etc. are recorded.

[0005]

In the conventional facsimile apparatus, the dial list is printed out each time the registered content is confirmed. Therefore, it takes time to print out and the work is complicated. Also, the amount of paper consumed for creating the dial list increases.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of confirming registered contents such as one-touch keys and speed dial keys without creating a dial list.

[0007]

A facsimile apparatus of the present invention comprises a key input section for inputting registration contents of one-touch keys or speed dial keys, and a memory for storing the registration contents input from the key input section. A display for displaying the registration contents read out from the memory, a dial control unit for dialing the registration contents read out from the memory, and a line for transmitting a signal to a destination dialed by the dial control unit. And an NCU device that is an interface with the above, and the registered contents of the one-touch keys and speed dial keys stored in the memory are displayed on the display so that the registered contents can be confirmed.

[0008]

According to the above configuration, when confirming the registration contents of the one-touch key or the speed dial key, the registration contents are displayed on the display without creating the dial list. Therefore, it is easy to confirm the registered contents and the amount of paper consumed is reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. A display 1 displays information such as a telephone number, and its display operation is controlled by the display control unit 2. A key input unit 3 is used to input registration contents of one-touch keys or speed dial keys, for example, a telephone number, using the key input unit 3. The operation of the key input unit 3 is controlled by the key input control unit 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a document reading unit, which reads a document or the like under the control of the reading control unit 6. Reference numeral 8 denotes a memory, which stores telephone numbers as registration contents and other information. A printing unit 9 outputs a document or dial list sent from the outside. The printing unit 9 is controlled by the printing control unit 10. A dial control unit 11 outputs a dial such as a telephone number read from the memory 8. Further, 12 is an NCU (Network Control Unit), which serves as an interface between the line 13 and each device. Reference numeral 14 denotes a main control unit, which receives a signal from a device that constitutes a facsimile device, outputs the received signal to another device, and controls the entire operation.

Next, the operation of the facsimile apparatus having the above-mentioned structure will be described with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG.

First, the operation for confirming the registered contents of the one-touch key or the speed dial key stored in the memory 8 is started (step 21). At that time, is the one-touch key pressed in the key input unit 3 (step 22)?
Or is the speed dial key pressed? (Step 2
3) is monitored by the key input control unit 4.

Then, when the key is pressed, the main control unit 14 determines from the conditions of the document reading unit 5 and the reading control unit 6 whether there is a transmission document (step 24). In this determination, if there is no original to be transmitted, the main control unit 14 controls to read out the registered content such as a telephone number from the memory 8 (step 25). Then, the read registration content is displayed on the display 1 under the control of the display control unit 2.

If it is determined in step 24 that there is a document, the main controller 14 controls the dial controller 11, and the NCU 12 controls the dialing through the line 13 (step 26). After the dialing is completed, the reading control unit 6 controls the document reading unit 5 to read the transmitted document (step 27). The transmission data read by the document reading unit 5 is NCU under the control of the main control unit 14.
It is sent from 12 to the line 13 and communicated.

FIG. 3 shows an example of displaying the registered contents of the one-touch key or the speed dial key on the display. When the operator confirms the registration contents of the first one-touch key, if the telephone number 012-345-6789 is registered in the one-touch key, for example, the number K of the one-touch key is displayed as 31 on the display. Or a telephone number N.
The registered contents can be confirmed by a dial list as appropriate.

According to the above configuration, when the operator confirms the registered contents of the one-touch key or the speed dial key stored in the memory, the registered contents can be displayed on the display, which facilitates the confirmation work. Become.

[0017]

According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a facsimile apparatus in which the registered contents of a one-touch key or a speed dial key can be displayed on a display for easy confirmation.
