Abstract

PURPOSE:To save recording paper and electric power and alto to ensure the reception of required information by requesting the transmission of an identification label to an opposite party at incoming and using the identification label to decide whether or not the signal is to be received thereby rejecting the reception of unnecessary information. CONSTITUTION:When a call comes, a reception-side facsimile equipment 1 uses a voice synthesis unit 11 to request the transmission of the identification label in voice. A transmission-side operator sends the numeral of the identification label of the reception 12 to detect the identification label and to compare it with the identification label registered in advance. If both the identification labels are dissident or the identification label is not sent within a prescribed time, the reception-side facsimile equipment 11 uses the voice synthesis unit 11 to announce that the identification label is not received to cut off the line. Thus, the identification label is not informed depending on the opposite party to reject the unnecessary reception thereby saving the recording paper and electric power and also ensuring the reception of required information.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and particularly to a facsimile machine equipped with an automatic call/call type network control device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in facsimile machines, especially automatic call/receiver type network control equipment, when a call is received from the sending facsimile,
The power will be turned on automatically and reception will begin automatically.

Therefore, such conventional facsimile devices receive all transmitted information regardless of the recipient.

However, depending on the recipient, the recipient may send unnecessary information or information that the recipient does not want to receive, such as advertisements. In such cases, conventional facsimile machines are configured to automatically turn on the power and receive all information when there is a call from the sender's facsimile machine. This has the problem of having to receive information that one does not want, which not only wastes recording paper and electricity, but also prevents the reception of necessary information.

(Purpose of the Invention) Therefore, the present invention requests the other party to transmit an identification label when a call is received, and determines whether or not to receive information based on the identification label, thereby refusing to receive unnecessary information. The purpose is to save recording paper and power, and to ensure that necessary information is received.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a facsimile machine equipped with an automatic call/termination type network control device that requests the other party to send an identification label when a call is received, and sends an identification label that has been sent. This feature is characterized in that reception starts only when the label matches a pre-registered identification label.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on examples.

FIG. 1.2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a facsimile machine, which includes a console 2, a central processing unit (CPU) 3,
Scanner 4, reading processing device 5, plotter 6, recording processing device 7, encoding/decoding unit (IPU) 8, memory 9, input/output device l1010, speech synthesis unit 11, tone detector 12, modem 1
3 and an automatic call/termination type network control device, 14, etc.

The operation console 2 is a so-called operation unit of a facsimile machine, and is a part through which an operator operates the facsimile machine 1. A central processing unit (IPU) 3 controls a scanner 4 and a block 6 based on commands from a console 2 and signals from an external line inputted from an automatic call/receiver type network control device 14, and also controls an automatic call/receiver type network controller 14. Communication with external lines is controlled via the network control device 14.

1 The reading processing device 5 sends the information written on the document to the scanner 4.
The recording processing device 7 drives the block 6 to record the information sent from the external line on recording paper. The encoding/decoding unit (IPU) 8 encodes the information (image signal) read by the scanner 4 and converts it into MH code and MR code, and also encodes the information (encoded information) sent from the external line. is converted into a black and white image signal and sent to the recording processing device 7. The memory 9 temporarily stores information sent from an external line via the automatic call/receiver network control device 14 and information read by the scanner 4, and also stores programs and various information necessary for controlling the facsimile device 1. are doing. The speech synthesis unit 11 includes an I10 adapter, an audio LSI, a ROM, an audio amplifier, etc., and audio data is input in advance into the ROM by an audio input device. The speech synthesis unit 11 selects and outputs appropriate speech from pre-input speech data according to instructions from the central processing unit (CPU) 3. Tone detector 2 detects dial pulses and multi-tones from pushbuttons sent from the sending facsimile machine. The modem 13 is a modulation/demodulation device that modulates the image information encoded by the encoder/decoder (IPU) 8 and sends it to the automatic call/receiver type network control device 14, and also demodulates the information sent from the external line. and outputs it to the encoding/decoding unit (rPU) 8. The automatic call/call type network control device 14 automatically starts without any operator operation, and when a message is sent from an external line, it is automatically turned on and receives the message, and is generally called AA-NCU. This is what is being done.

Next, the operation will be explained based on the time chart shown in FIG.

First, when the sending facsimile machine emits a 16Hz bell tone and calls, the receiving facsimile machine
responds to this, receives a call, and sends an identification label (10) to the other party.
request for transmission. This identification label (ID) transmission request is made by voice to the other party's operator. That is, when the receiving facsimile machine 1 receives a call, it sends the voice synthesis unit 1
1, for example, utters, "This is the facsimile of OO○. Please send the identification label." to request the other party's operator to send the identification label. This identification label (ID) is numerically registered for each facsimile machine or for each group of facsimile machines at each office. In response to the request for this identification label (ID), the transmitting operator sends the numerical value of the identification label (10) of the receiving facsimile machine 1 by dial or by telephone, and the receiving facsimile machine 1 transmits this identification label (ID) by tone.・
It is detected by the detector 12 and compared with a pre-registered identification label (ID). When the transmitted identification label (10) does not match the registered identification label (ID), or when the identification label (ID) is not transmitted within a predetermined time, the receiving facsimile machine 1
For example, the speech synthesis unit 11 announces, "Reception is not possible because the identification labels (IDs) do not match." and disconnects the line. Therefore, by not informing the other party of the advertisement, etc. of the identification label (ID), it is possible to refuse to receive unnecessary information, and it is possible to save recording paper and electricity. , the facsimile machine 1 can be placed on standby to receive the necessary information, thereby ensuring reception of the necessary information.

On the other hand, when the transmitted identification label (ID) matches the registered identification label (10), as shown in FIG. Please send the manuscript.

” and press the communication button on the sending side,
The called station identification signal (C, E D >) and the non-standard function identification signal (NSF) are transmitted. The sending facsimile machine receives this signal and sends the mode setting command signal (D OS) and the training check signal (TCP). The receiving facsimile machine l then outputs a reception preparation confirmation signal (CFR) to notify that the reception preparation is complete.Receiving this CFH signal, the sending side sends the information (M
ESSAGE), and when the information transmission is completed, a communication end signal (EOP) is output. Then, the receiving side outputs a reception completion signal (MCF), the transmitting side outputs a line disconnection command signal (DCN), and the communication ends.

In the above embodiment, it goes without saying that the voice-based identification label request and reception rejection notification are not limited to those described above.

(Effects) According to the present invention, when a call is received in a facsimile machine equipped with an automatic call originating/terminating type network control device, it is possible to request the other party to transmit an identification label and determine whether or not to receive the call based on the identification label. This allows you to refuse to receive unnecessary information, saving recording paper and electricity, and
Reception of necessary information can be ensured.
