Abstract

PURPOSE:To miniaturize the titled equipment and to simplify its operation by controlling the action of the equipment based on the ON/OFF state of the hook switch of a telephone set. CONSTITUTION:In a waiting state, a relay 12 is connected to a side A. When the telephone is hooked off, the line is connected to the opposite party, and a start switch 15 is turned on with a terminal identifying signal. The facsimile equipment 14 confirms the ON-state of the hook switch 18, turns to the relay 12 to a side B, and starts facsimile communication. After ending the communication, the equipment 14 turns the relay 12 to the side A. And at the time of hooking on of the telephone set, the telephone line is cut off. In case a telephone reservation switch 16 is turned ON amid the communication, reservation control is executed after the ending of the communication. In case the reservation is acknowledged, the equipment 14 sounds so that the telephone set is hooked off. If the telephone set is hooked off, the equipment 14 stops the sounding, and turns the realy 12 to the side A to attain the communication. Thus the turning ON/OFF of the hook switch is directly inputted to the facsimile equipment, eliminating a need for a line current detection circuit, and also, the communication through the telephone reservation action is made available only by the hooking-off of the telephone set by the sounding. In such a way, the operation is simplified.

Normal facsimile transmission ends.

Next, the telephone reservation operation will be explained. The process up to the start of facsimile communication is the same as the above-mentioned normal facsimile transmission. When the telephone reservation switch 26 is turned on during facsimile communication, after the facsimile communication ends, telephone reservation control is performed with the receiving side, and if the telephone reservation is established, the facsimile device section 24 generates a warning sound to prompt the user to take the receiver off-hook. When the operator takes the receiver of the telephone unit 23 off-hook and turns on the telephone switch 27, the facsimile unit 24 stops the warning sound prompting on-hook, switches the line switching relay 22 to the A side, and can make a call.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, a telephone detection circuit is required to check the line status when starting facsimile communication. Furthermore, when making a telephone reservation, after the telephone reservation is established, the operator is required to take off-hook the receiver and then turn on the telephone switch, which is a complicated operation.

In view of the above problems, the present invention eliminates the need for a current detection circuit, and
Furthermore, the present invention provides a facsimile device with a built-in superior telephone that allows an operator to make a call by simply taking the telephone receiver off-hook if a warning sound prompting the telephone receiver to be taken off-hook is issued during a telephone reservation operation.

Means for Solving the Problems 5 8-7 In order to solve the above problems, the facsimile machine of the present invention is provided with a telephone section that is equipped with a mechanical hook switch that opens and closes when the handset is on-hook and on-hook; The facsimile device section has a facsimile device section whose control input is an open/closed state, and the operation of the facsimile device section is controlled by the open/closed state of the hook switch.

Effect of the Invention With the above-described configuration, the present invention directly checks the state of the hook switch when starting facsimile communication, thereby eliminating the need for a current detection circuit, and also directly checks the state of the hook switch when making a telephone reservation operation. This makes it possible for the operator to switch the telephone line to the telephone set simply by taking the receiver off-hook.
