Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automatic facsimile sending device, and more particularly to a facsimile sending device suitable for sending data to an automatic receiving facsimile device connected to an extension of an exchange.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, when a facsimile machine is connected to an extension of an exchange, the calling party manually dials a representative number to call an operator and informs the operator that the facsimile is to be sent. After calling the extension facsimile, the operator connects to the calling party. After receiving the signal issued by this connection and confirming the connection, the originating party connects the originating party's facsimile device and performs facsimile communication. Therefore, the time it takes to connect the extension to the facsimile varies depending on the operator's intervention. In addition, in the case of automatic transmission, for example, JP-A-58-1
As described in Publication No. 70171, there is a known example in which a timer is monitored after the other party answers (off-hook), and when a predetermined response signal cannot be detected within a certain period of time, it is treated as an incorrect dial. There is a problem that the timer value cannot be changed according to the situation.

In other words, when a conventional automatic facsimile sending device automatically sends a message to a receiving device connected to an extension, the processing time for the intervening operator is undefined, but on the automatic sending device's side, if there is no response within a certain amount of time, There was an inconvenience that the call was unilaterally determined to be an incorrect dial and was processed.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic facsimile transmission device that can respond to situations on the receiving side including operators.

[Summary of the invention]

In the automatic facsimile transmission device of the present invention, when a representative number is dialed using automatic dialing to call an operator, this is a facsimile transmission, and the number of the extension to be connected is output from the voice response device to the operator side, and then the extension's facsimile device The hold tone sent by the operator is detected until the line is connected, and the line is kept on hold during that time. Thereafter, when the operator connects the facsimile, automatic transmission is performed by detecting the facsimile signal on the receiving side.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a block diagram of an automatic facsimile transmission device, in which the network control unit (hereinafter referred to as NCU) connected to circuit 1s4 is shown.
A microprocessor (hereinafter referred to as MPU) 1 is connected to 3. A memory 2 storing the telephone number of the other party and an image information recording section 12 are connected to the MPU 1.

A response detection unit 7 is provided between the line 4 and the MPU 1, and a voice response device 8 is provided between the MPU 1 and the NCU 3.
I On Hold Music Detection Unit 9. Modems 11 are provided in parallel.

FIG. 2 shows the automatic facsimile transmission device shown in FIG.
This is the sequence of signal transmission and reception performed between the exchange, operator, and extension-connected facsimile. Next, referring to FIG. 1 and based on FIG. 2, a procedure for connecting an automatic facsimile transmission device to an extension-connected facsimile device will be explained.

After reading the telephone number of the other party stored in the memory 2, the MPU 1 of the automatic facsimile transmitting device sends the NCU 3,
dial 114 times through the exchange and call the operator at the other end. When called, the operator goes off-hook. Thereby, the exchange forms a known DC loop and undergoes a known polarity reversal. When this is detected by the response detection section 7, it is notified to the MPU 1.

In response to this notification, the MPU 1 activates the voice response device 8 and connects the voice response device 8 to the line 4 side via the NCU 3. Voice from voice response device 8 (For example, this is a facsimile being automatically sent. Please connect to extension XXX.

etc.), the operator sends a hold tone to the facsimile automatic transmitter and puts the line on hold. On the facsimile automatic transmission device side, when the hold tone detection unit 9 detects this hold tone, it notifies the MPU 1,
Hold the line and wait while the hold music continues.

During this time, the operator calls the facsimile machine connected to the extension and confirms that it has answered (for example, listens to the CHD signal indicating a non-voice terminal on the facsimile IJ).
Turn off the hold tone and connect the facsimile device connected to the extension to the automatic facsimile transmitter via the exchange.

Then, when the digital identification signal DLS and the signal NSF indicating a non-standard device are input from the receiving facsimile device to the modem 11 via the NCU 3, MPTTl is transferred to the memory 2.
The digital command signal DO8 and the training check signal TCP are read out from the facsimile machine on the receiving side and sent to the facsimile machine on the receiving side. When the receiving facsimile device receives these signals and confirms that it has sent the reception preparation confirmation signal CFR, the automatic facsimile transmitting device transfers the image information stored in the image information recording section 12 to the receiving facsimile device. Send.

When the transmission of image information is completed and a procedure end signal EOP is sent from the automatic facsimile transmitter to the receiving facsimile machine, a message confirmation signal MCF is sent back, and the automatic facsimile transmitter that receives this sends a line disconnection command D.
It sends the CN to the receiving side, disconnects its own line, and completes the entire procedure.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the hold tone sent from the operator side is detected before the connection is made to the extension, and the hold tone is placed on standby while the hold tone continues, so it is possible to respond to the situation of the sending party, and automatic transmission operation is performed. can be improved.
