Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a call transfer device in a facsimile.

(Prior art) As shown in FIG. 5, incoming call forwarding is when a facsimile device for destination B is set to forward a call to the facsimile device of destination B, and a call is sent from another destination S, for example. 111
! This is a mode in which when A receives a manuscript (calligraphic information), the received manuscript is recorded in a device at A and transferred to B.

There is a limited memory capacity (W) for storing incoming documents in the device at destination A, and complex documents with a large amount of information may be sent that exceeds the memory capacity. The device transfers only the amount that can be stored in its memory to destination B. In the meantime, as shown in FIG. 2, destination A outputs a recording paper called delivery confirmation written on its own terminal. Receiving side B simply receives the incoming manuscript, so if the incoming manuscript is finished halfway, it is not known whether it is due to memory overload on the destination side or whether the manuscript has actually finished halfway. There was a sense of fukaidai.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the call forwarding mode in the conventional facsimile machine, when a document with an amount of information exceeding the memory capacity is sent, the own terminal is notified that the memory is over. Outputs a delivery confirmation displaying . However, in this case, the transfer destination is a type that transfers only the amount inside the memory, and therefore, the calligraphy and drawing information ends in the middle at the transfer destination. There, I couldn't tell if the manuscript was finished mid-way due to transfer or if it was a manuscript of that kind.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art as described above, and to make it possible to clearly determine whether or not a memory overflow has occurred at a transfer destination.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a memory over detecting means for detecting memory over during incoming call forwarding mode;
When a memory overflow is detected by the memory overdetection means, the apparatus is characterized by comprising means for transmitting a delivery notification to the effect that a memory overflow has occurred, following the transfer of the transfer document with the memory overflow to the next destination. It is.

(Function) According to the present invention, when it is necessary to transfer a document that has overflowed the memory in the incoming call transfer mode, after the forwarded document is transferred to the next destination, a delivery notification that describes the content that the memory has exceeded the memory is sent as a subsequent page. Since it is sent, the next pair 11i that was forwarded! clarified that the receiver of the station was out of memory.
It can be determined by the TN that the IH communication f1 is directed to -1.
,do.

(Example) FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

The facsimile machine of this embodiment includes a document reading section 1 that reads a document, a recording section 2 that records received signals on recording paper, a line memory 3 that records signals read by the reading section 1, and a line memory 3 that transmits signals. a data compression/reproduction unit 4 that compresses and decompresses and reproduces received compressed data; a buffer for normal transmission or reception;
and a communication control unit CCU (not shown) is leaked to a page memory in which transfer information and the like can be recorded. The facsimile apparatus further includes a control section for controlling various operations of the facsimile apparatus including these components, and this control section is configured by software executed by the CI 110, and includes an incoming call transfer control section. 9 includes a memory over detection section 91 and a memory over notification control section 92, which are features of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the concept of the operation of this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the incoming call transfer delivery notification.

As shown in FIG. 2, the manuscript for incoming call transfer to destination B sent from destination S to destination A is stored in page memory 6, and when it exceeds its capacity, destination A All documents from S are received using the buffer memory 5 and page memory 6.

Further, the amount stored in the page memory 6 is transferred to destination B, and the incoming call transfer delivery notification stored in the page memory 6 is transmitted as a subsequent page. The incoming call transfer delivery notification is received at destination B as shown in the example of FIG. 3, and indicates the situation, that is, the memory is full and only what is in the memory can be transferred. From this delivery notification, it is possible to easily know the result of the transfer of what was received at destination B.

FIG. 4 is an operational flow diagram for explaining the operation of the call transfer control unit 9 shown in FIG. The image information to be transferred to the incoming call is stored in the page memory 6 via the CCIJ, reproduced by the data compression/reproduction section 4, and recorded on recording paper by the recording section 2.

During reception, the memory over detection unit 91 displays the page memo 11J.
6 oppuff] code is monitored, and if a memory overflow is detected, a memory overflow flag is set. When transferring to destination B, the memory over delivery notification control unit 92 checks whether the memory over flag is on or not.
If there is a call forwarding notification, control is performed to unconditionally transmit an incoming call forwarding notification as the second page following the end of the forwarding.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained below, the present invention has the following advantages:
The system is configured to monitor memory overflow, and if memory overflow occurs, a call forwarding delivery notification indicating that memory overflow occurs will be sent as a subsequent page. On the receiving side, even if the original is finished halfway, the situation can be checked, and the reliability of communication can be improved.
