Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a data broadcast transmission job and to reduce the operating burden when the different parts of a single piece of transmission data are sent to plural opposite parties in a broadcast transmission method by sending selectively the transmission data which are divided according to the priority of every destination of transmission to the these destinations of transmission. SOLUTION: When an operator designates a destination of transmission via an input part 6, a priority designation program 10 adds the priority to every destination of transmission according to a set rule and produces a priority management table 9. Meanwhile, an address book retrieval program 12 retrieves an address book 1-3-a to use the priority that is set for every address. When the input operations are over for the transmission data and a destination of transmission, a transmission data conversion program 11 converts the transmission data into a new form and sends it to every destination on the basis of the table 9 and the transmission data dividing method that is previously designated. Thus, all data are sent only to the important destinations and then only a part of data is sent to the destinations of lower priorities respectively.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a data broadcasting system in a communication terminal such as a facsimile apparatus and an electronic mail terminal for transmitting / receiving data via a communication line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when data of the same content is transmitted to a plurality of parties by an e-mail terminal device or a facsimile device, a broadcast transmission function is used to create and transmit a transmission data set once. By the first input operation, the same data can be transmitted to a plurality of destinations. However, if you want to send partially different data depending on the destination, for example, if there are a number of people who send the text with attachments attached to the same text as the one sending the text, create transmission data for each group Had to be sent.

FIG. 25 shows the flow of processing of the prior art in a case where a partner who needs to transmit all of the transmission data and a partner who needs to transmit only a part of the transmission data coexist. First, in S202, all transmission data is specified, and in S204, the destination of the destination to which all data is to be transmitted is input, the data is converted into a transmission format in S206, and transmitted in S208. Next, in order to transmit a part of the data transmitted in the above processing, the part of the data to be transmitted is designated as the transmission data again. S212
In step S214, the destination of the other party who needs to transmit only a part of the data is input. As understood from the above description, although the transmission data is basically the same, it is necessary to divide the data twice and start again from the data input, and there is a problem that the operation is complicated.

[0004] To improve this point, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-2443 has been proposed.
There are 76. In this publication, a facsimile machine has a page unit memory and a transmission page table for each destination,
At the time of broadcast transmission, only a necessary page is transmitted by searching a transmission page table for each destination, thereby reducing the trouble of repeatedly reading the same document.

If the communication terminal has a destination memory function such as a telephone directory and a group registration function, data can be transmitted to necessary members only by specifying a group at the time of broadcast transmission. However, the conventional group registration method,
Since this is a method of selecting a destination registered in the telephone directory in advance from a list, the operator needs to perform two operations of destination registration and group registration, and there is a problem that the operator's labor is large.

To improve this, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-133101 discloses
There is. In this publication, when registering a destination in a telephone directory, a group identifier consisting of a simple character string can be added to each destination to perform group registration. Furthermore, by grouping in advance by area based on the area code, it is possible to perform grouping by destination information without inputting a group identifier, thereby reducing the trouble of group registration.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-244376, it is necessary to re-enter the destination and the transmission page table every time the transmission data is changed.

In JP-A-6-133101, operations at the time of destination registration and group registration are simplified.
It is necessary to register a destination in the memory in advance and then perform a group registration operation. In addition, when it is desired to transmit only a part of the data to a partner having different importance in the same group, the group registration cannot be used, and the registration must be performed manually as shown in FIG. Further, the same contents are transmitted to members in the group, which causes a problem of wasting communication resources such as a network and a disk.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, simplify the data broadcast transmission operation, and reduce the number of operations for broadcasting different portions of one transmission data to a plurality of parties. Things.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a method for broadcasting data using a communication line, wherein transmission data is created and the transmission data is classified according to priority. Inputting a destination and a priority of the destination, selecting transmission data classified according to the priority based on the priority for each destination, and transmitting the selected data to each destination. This is a data broadcast transmission method.

Further, the present invention provides a method for broadcasting data using a communication line, wherein transmission data is created, the transmission data is classified according to priority, and a transmission destination is sequentially designated. Determining the priority of each transmission destination based on the order, selecting transmission data classified according to the priority based on the priority, and transmitting the selected transmission data to each transmission destination. This is a data broadcast transmission method.

Still further, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for broadcasting data using a communication line used in a communication terminal device having an address book function, wherein transmission data is created and the transmission data is classified according to priority. Then, the transmission destinations are sequentially designated, the priority of each transmission destination is determined based on the description in the address book, and the transmission data classified according to the priority is selected for each transmission destination based on the priority. And transmitting the data to each transmission destination.

The present invention also relates to a method of broadcasting data using a communication line, wherein transmission data is created, the transmission data is classified according to priority, and a transmission destination and a priority of the transmission destination are determined. , And a program for a data broadcast transmission method characterized in that transmission data classified according to the priority is selected for each transmission destination based on the priority and transmitted to each transmission destination. It is a storage medium.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a data broadcast transmitting method according to the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a CPU that controls the entire operation, 2 is a rewritable program memory such as a flash memory in which a control program for operating the CPU 1 is stored, and 3 is necessary to operate the CPU 1 RAM (temporary storage memory) for storing important data and backed up by a battery. In addition to the control program, the program memory 2 stores a broadcast transmission program 8, a priority designation program 10, a transmission data conversion program 11, an address book search program 12, and an address book change program 13.

The broadcast transmission program 8 is a broadcast transmission unit for controlling the broadcast transmission processing, and its detailed operation follows the flowchart of FIG. 2 (described later). The priority designation program 10 is a priority designation unit that designates the priority of a broadcast transmission destination. Each time transmission is instructed, the priority designation program 10 associates each transmission destination with a priority, and Management table
It is managed as 9. The priority management table 9 is deleted when the transmission is completed. The priority designation program 10 is stored in the program memory 2 and the priority management table 9 is stored in the RAM 3, and the detailed operation will be described later with reference to FIGS.
3, FIG. 15, FIG. 16, and FIG. 19 will be described. The transmission data conversion program 11 is a transmission data conversion unit. When transmission is instructed by the operator, the transmission data conversion program 11 extracts necessary data from the transmission data file (1-3-b) stored in the RAM 3 and executes a priority management table. According to 9, the transmission data is converted into a data format that can be transmitted through the line.
The address book search program 12 is an address book search section, which searches the address book (1-3-a) for the priority of the address of the transmission destination, and searches for the name of the address of the transmission destination. When there is an address book change command, the address book change program 13 changes the address book. The operation will be described with reference to FIG.

In the RAM 3, a priority management table 9 which is a feature of the present invention, and an address book (1-
3-a), a transmission data file (1-3-b), a transmission history list (1-3-c), and the like are stored. It is also used for a work list area (1-3-d) used temporarily for work.

4 is a modem functioning as a communication means, 5 is a CD
-An external storage device such as a ROM and a floppy disk, and 6 is an input unit for inputting a character string and an instruction of an operator, and includes a keyboard, a pen tablet, a scanner for reading an image, and the like. Reference numeral 7 denotes a display unit for displaying transmission data contents, messages from the system to the operator, and the like, and includes a liquid crystal display, a CRT display, and the like. Reference numeral 14 denotes a storage medium that can be separated from the main body, and is typically a CD-ROM or a floppy disk. The storage medium 14 has a source program, which is a program necessary for implementing the present invention,
Intermediate programs, executable programs, and the like are stored. The executable program read from the storage medium 14 is expanded in the program memory 2 by the CPU 1. Note that each control program stored in the program memory 2 may be read from a communication line via the modem 4.

The transmission data file (1-3-b) is input to the input unit 6
It is input by the operator, downloaded from a server or a communication destination via the modem 4, or acquired from the external storage device 5. As a storage medium for registering an address book (1-3-a), a data file (1-3-b), and the like, a RAM3 or the like is representative.
Considering portability, depending on the type of information, external storage device 5
May be registered.

Next, the outline of the present invention will be described. When a user broadcasts one piece of data to a plurality of parties having different degrees of importance, the data to be transmitted is first created. The operator performs an input operation through the input unit 6, but may call data from the external storage device 5. If the input unit 6 has a scanner or the like, the read image data may be used. The read data is stored in the transmission data file (1-3-b) of the RAM 3. When the data creation is completed, a data delimiting method for transmitting only a part of the data for transmission is specified. There are various methods of distinction such as a page unit, text data and binary data, for example. Details will be described with reference to FIG. This delimiting method is temporarily stored in the transmission data conversion program 11.

Next, when the operator designates a transmission destination from the input unit 6, the priority designation program 10 adds a priority to each destination based on the set rules, and creates a priority management table 9. I do. At this time, the address book (1-3-a) is searched by the address book search program 12, and the priority set for each address can be used.

When the input of the transmission data and the destination by the operator is completed, the transmission data conversion program 11 next executes data transmission for each destination based on the priority management table 9 and the transmission data dividing method specified previously. Is converted to a transmission format and transmitted.

In the conventional transmission method, the operator performs the transmission process in two separate steps. However, the above process merely adds an operation for designating a transmission data dividing method.
A priority is automatically added to each destination, all data is transmitted only to important destinations, and a part of data, such as only a message, can be transmitted to destinations with low priority.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the overall operation in the embodiment of the present invention. This flowchart is controlled by the broadcast transmission program 8.

Here, taking e-mail transmission as an example,
A series of flows for broadcasting data in which a binary file is attached to text data, will be described. In this embodiment, text data and attached data (binary file)
To all data, send all data only to important destinations,
Send only the text part to other destinations.

When performing broadcast transmission, in S2, the operator creates transmission data. This is input or selected from the input unit 6, and is text data input by a keyboard, image data read by an optical scanner or the like, data received via a communication line, or recorded in the external storage device 5. It is created / input by various methods such as reading data, and the data file for transmission (1-3
-b).

Next, at S4, a data delimiter is set when transmitting data is input. This delimiter is, for example, per page, text data and binary data, etc.
There are various distinction methods.

As a method of designating a data delimiter, for example, there is a method of preparing several options in advance on the system side. As an example, a selection screen as shown in FIG.
7, there is a method in which the operator selects an appropriate delimiting method from the input unit 6.

In the present embodiment, since the text and the attached data are divided, "text and attached data" (3-1) is selected from the input unit 6. In this case, since the text and the attached data file are usually already distinguished at the time of input, it is not necessary for the operator to input a data separation position or the like.

When another item (3-2, 3-3) is selected, the transmission data is once displayed on the display unit 7, and the operator inputs a separation position from the input unit 6.

In this example, the delimiting method is designated every time transmission is performed. However, if the information once selected is stored in the RAM 3 or the like and the same delimiting method is used until the next change instruction, the number of operations is further increased. Can be reduced.

Next, in S6, the operator inputs a broadcast destination address from the input unit 6. The input address is stored in the RAM3. The address can be entered in the address book (1-3-
You may choose from a). FIG. 4 shows an example of an address input. In this example, two persons are inputted to To (main destination) and one person is inputted to Cc (sub destination).

At S8, it is determined whether there is a plurality of addresses. If there is a single address, all data is transmitted to the designated address at S22. If a plurality of addresses are specified, a priority is automatically added to each address in S10, and a priority management table 9 as shown in FIG. 5 is created. This priority adding process is controlled by the priority specifying program 10.

Here, the priority adding process S10 to a plurality of designated destination addresses will be described with reference to FIG.
For example, the destination specified in the To column has a high priority, and the destination specified in the Cc column has a low priority.

It is assumed that the address shown in FIG. 4 has been input in S6 of FIG. In S26 (FIG. 6),
First, obtain the destination address for one person from the To column, here, the first person aaa@xyz.com (4-1), and in S28, set the priority of the address (4-1) to high and manage the priority Register in Table 9. Next, in S30, it is determined whether there is an unprocessed address in the To column. In this case, since bbb@xyz.com (4-2) still remains, the process returns to S26 again, and a priority is similarly added.

When all addresses in the To column have been processed, the process proceeds to S32, where the first address ccc@test.co.jp (4-3) is obtained from the Cc column. Table 9
Register to Similarly, the processing is repeated until it is determined in S36 that there is no unprocessed destination in the Cc column.

With the above processing, the priority can be automatically added to each destination as shown in FIG. Further, by using the priority management table 9 at the time of transmission, the body + attached data is sent to aaa @ xyz.com, bbb @ xyz.com (8-1) having high priority, and ccc@test.co. Since the priority is low, only the text data can be transmitted to .jp (8-2).

When sending an e-mail to a plurality of parties,
It is a common practice to enter high-priority parties in the To column and low-priority parties in the Cc column, and the operator does not need to use any special input method. Transmission becomes possible.

Returning to FIG. 2, in S12, the priority management table 9 created in S10 is displayed on the display unit 7, and the operator is asked for confirmation (FIG. 7). Here, when the operator wants to change, it can be easily corrected by pointing a toggle button on the right side of each destination with a pen tablet or the like. If all addresses are assigned low priority in S10, a message (6-1) indicating that there is no destination to which the attached data should be transmitted is displayed as shown in FIG. Prompt.

Next, it is determined in S14 whether or not the operator has modified the priority management table 9, and if there is a modification, the process proceeds to S16.
To change the priority management table 9, and if there is no correction, the process directly proceeds to S18.

In S18, based on the priority management table 9 created in S10 and corrected in S16, first, data to be transmitted for low priority is created by the transmission data conversion program 11.
Since the delimiter of the transmission data set in S4 is “text and attached data”, only the text is converted into the transmission format for the low-priority destination, and transmitted to the low-priority destination in S20.

Similarly, in S22, the transmission data conversion program 11 collectively converts the text and attached data into a transmission format for high priority, and transmits the transmission format to the destination with high priority in S24. The transmitted data and destination information are registered in the transmission history list (1-3-c) in S25.

In a destination having a low priority, not all data is required, and only contact is often required. In that case, if all data is sent to all destinations,
This wastes memory and communication resources on the receiving side. In this case, conventionally, when transmitting data to a partner having a different importance, transmission data is created in accordance with the priority, and thereafter, all the transmission operations are manually performed. By simply performing the transmission processing described above, it is possible to automatically transmit data to a plurality of destinations in accordance with the degree of importance without having to perform group registration.

Next, an example of processing for creating transmission data for each priority will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of transmission data creation processing S22 for high priority, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart of transmission data creation processing S18 for low priority. FIG. 11 shows an example of actual transmission data.

Since the priority management table 9 (FIG. 11) and the transmission data input for each destination have been completed by S16 in FIG. 2, first, in S120 (FIG. 9), the priority management table 9 Of the address book, and in S122, the address book 1-3
a (FIG. 12) as a result of searching for a name (FIG. 11 (23-2-
a)) is inserted at the beginning of the text (23-2-b) as a destination in S124.

Next, in S126, a low-priority destination is obtained.
Inserts the result of searching for a name from the address book 1-3-a (FIG. 12) (FIG. 11 (23-2-c)) at the end of the sentence, and adds a message (23-2-d) in S132. In FIG. 9, since the process is the data creation process for the high priority, the destination of the low priority is listed at the end of the sentence, and a message indicating that only the communication is made is automatically added. Through the above processing, the created data is converted into a transmission format in S134.

FIG. 10 shows the flow of the transmission data creation processing for the low priority, and this flowchart shows the processing in the transmission data creation processing for the high priority shown in FIG. 9 by exchanging the low priority and the high priority. Therefore, the description is omitted. FIG. 11 shows an example of transmission data for low priority created by this flow.

In the above embodiment, the transmission data creation processing is simply performed for each priority. For example, by creating transmission data for each domain, unnecessary destinations can be prevented from being listed and confidentiality between companies can be maintained. Can be implemented.

By performing the above processing, it is possible to transmit necessary data for each priority, and to automatically add a message indicating which data is being transmitted to which destination.

Next, another priority adding method will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. In this method, priorities are set in accordance with the order in which destinations are specified. For example, a method in which only the first destination in the To column has high priority and the remaining destinations have low priority.

If an address as shown in FIG. 4 has been input in S6 of FIG. 2, one destination in the To column is acquired in S38 and registered as a high priority in the priority management table 9 in S40. . In FIG. 4, the destinations are displayed in the order in which the destinations are input. Here, aaa@xyz.com (4-1) is registered with a high priority. Next, in the determination of S42, since the destination remains in the To column, the destination bbb@xyz.com (4-2) of the remaining To column in S44
And registers it in the priority management table 9 with a low priority. The above processing is repeated, and if it is determined that all the destinations in the To column have been processed in S42 and S48, the address ccc@test.co.jp (4-3) is obtained from the Cc column in S50, and priority is given in S52. It is registered in the degree management table 9 with a low priority. The above process is repeated until there is no unprocessed address in the Cc column.

When all the processes are completed, the priority is automatically added to each destination as shown in FIG.
9 can be created. Furthermore, by using this priority management table 9, aaa@xyz.com (1
0-1) to the body + attached data, bbb @ xyz.com, ccc @ tes
Since the priority is low, only the text data can be transmitted to t.co.jp (10-2).

Next, still another priority adding method will be described with reference to FIG. In this method, the priority is set according to the set value registered in the address book.
Here, as shown in FIG. 12, when the address book has an item for setting whether or not data is attached at the time of sending an e-mail in addition to the name and address items, the setting item of the attached data is regarded as a priority. "Attach" has a high priority, and "do not attach" has a low priority.

In S6 of FIG. 2, if an address as shown in FIG. 4 has been input, one address is obtained from the destination field in S56, and the address book search program 12 obtains one address in S58.
Search the address book (1-3-a) recorded in RAM3.

The address book is searched for aaa@xyz.com (4-1), and S6
In step 2, since the setting (12-1) set in the address book (1-3-a) is "attach", it is registered in the priority management table 9 with a high priority. If the address is not registered in the address book (1-3-a), the address is registered in the priority management table 9 as low priority in S64. Next, if an unprocessed address remains in the destination field in S66, the process returns to S56, and the same processing is performed. When processing of all addresses is completed, FIG.
As shown in 4, the priority can be automatically added.

Next, still another priority adding method will be described with reference to FIG. This method is characterized by designating a priority for each domain. For example,
When a plurality of destinations of the same domain are specified in the destination column, one high-priority destination is specified from the same domain, and all the remaining destinations are specified as low priority.

In S6 of FIG. 2, it is assumed that the address shown in FIG. 17 is inputted as a destination and stored as (15-1) in FIG.

First, one destination is acquired in S68, and the domain name of the address is extracted in S70. Here, first, aaa@xyz.com is obtained from the destination list (15-1), and the work list 1-3-d
Register in (15-2). Extract the domain name `` xyz.com '' and S
Bbb @ xyz which is the destination of the same domain name from the destinations in 72.
com, ddd@xyz.com is obtained and added to the work list 1-3-d (15-2). Next, from S74, the address aa acquired in the first case
a@xyz.com is set to the high priority, and the other addresses are set to the low priority from S76 and registered in the priority management table 9 (15-3), and the work list 1-3-d is cleared. The unprocessed destination list is as shown in (15-4), and in the determination of S78, the process returns to S68 and performs the same process again. First, ccc@test.co.jp is obtained and registered in the work list 1-3-d (15-5). The destination of the same domain as “test.co.jp” is extracted, and eee@test.co.jp is registered in the work list 1-3-d (15-5). Next, ccc@test.co.jp is added to the priority management table 9 as high priority and eee@test.co.jp as low priority.

By the above processing, at least one high-priority address is selected as the destination of the same domain.
Here, the number of high-priority destinations in each domain is one, but a plurality of destinations may be selected. As a result, when transmitting data to a plurality of sites, since the priorities are set for each site, it is possible to save communication resources without causing transmission omission or duplicating transmission of the same data to the same site. it can.

Next, another priority adding method will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. Although the determination condition in the priority adding process described so far is single, the one described here is an example in which a plurality of conditions are used together. For example, a description will be given of a priority specifying method in which a method of specifying a priority by a destination input field and a method of specifying a priority for each domain are combined.

In S6 of FIG. 2, it is assumed that an address as shown in FIG. 17 has been input. For example, the display unit 7
20, the attached data transmission method is displayed as shown in FIG. 20, and the priority is added by applying the condition selected by the operator. One or more conditions may be set, and the priority of the conditions may be specified by the operator. This screen is not displayed for each transmission process. For example, it is called from the condition setting function or the like, and if the setting is performed when necessary, the operation does not become complicated.

In the present embodiment, the choices for the conditions are “To destination only” (17-1) and “the same domain is up to the ○ th case” (17-2).
The case where both conditions are selected will be described.
FIG. 21 shows a case where the processing is advanced according to FIG.
It is a work list (1-3-d) and nine examples of the priority management table.

First, in S80 (FIG. 19), condition diagram 2
It is determined whether 0 (17-1) is selected. If not selected, the selection target is To and Cc, that is, all destinations in S81, and if selected, only the To (main destination) is selected in S82. Next, FIG.
From (18-1), one destination is selected from the selection targets in S83, and registered in the work list 1-3-d (18-2). Condition diagram 2 in S84
If 0 (17-2) is selected, obtain the domain name of the destination in S85, obtain the destination of the same domain from the selection target in S86, and add it to the work list 1-3-d (18-2) I do. Condition in S84
If (17-2) is not selected, the process proceeds to S87 without acquiring any further destination. In this example, first, aaa@xyz.com is obtained from the addresses in the To column in S83, bbb@xyz.com is obtained in S86, and registered in the work list 1-3-d (18-2) . Next, S87
Then, one address is acquired from the work list and registered in the priority management table 9 (18-3) with a high priority. Where the condition
If (17-2) is not selected, only one address is registered in the work list.
Proceed to. If the condition (17-2) is selected, it is determined in S88 whether an unprocessed address remains in the work list 1-3-d (18-2). In step S89, repetition of the destination acquisition processing with high priority by the set number of conditions (17-2) is performed, and in step S90, the work list 1-3-d
The address remaining in (18-2) is registered in the priority management table 9 with a low priority. With the processing so far, the work list 1-3-d (1
All the addresses in 8-2) are subjected to priority addition processing. In this example, since only the first case from the same domain has high priority, a
Set aa@xyz.com to high priority and bbb@xyz.com to low priority. Next, in S91, it is determined whether an unprocessed destination remains in the selection target. Since the address remains in To in the destination list (18-4), the process returns to S83, and the same processing is repeated. When there are no unprocessed destinations in the selection target, go to S92,
All the non-selected addresses are registered as low priority in the priority management table 9 (18-8).

By performing the above-described processing, it is possible to combine a plurality of conditions and perform more precise priority addition.

As described above, according to the present invention, data can be transmitted in accordance with the importance of the data transmission destination, but a reply is sent from a low priority destination that transmits only a part of the data. In this case, it is necessary to change the priority setting value registered in the address book (1-3-a). An example of an address book change process used for this will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This flowchart is controlled by the address book change program 13.

In S100, if there is a reply from the previously transmitted partner, the sender's address is analyzed in S102. Whether or not a reply is sent is "Re:" in the email subject,
Whether there is a character string indicating a reply such as "Reply:"
It can be determined by analyzing the header. The address book 1-3-a (FIG. 1) is searched from the sender's address in S104, and if it is not registered in S106, nothing is performed and the process ends. If it is registered in the address book 1-3-a, check the setting value of the priority in S108, and if the priority is already set to high,
The process ends. If the priority is low, the display 6
23 displays a change confirmation message of the address book 1-3-a as shown in FIG. At this time, not only the change of the address book, but also whether the attached data previously transmitted to the destination with the higher priority is retransmitted to the address is also displayed. S1
In step 12, if the operator selects to change the setting,
In S114, the set value of the address book 1-3-a is changed. In this example, since the sender is Jiro Sato (ccc@test.co.jp) and the priority was set to low, the setting value of the address book 1-3-a is updated to "attach" (Fig. 24).

Further, if retransmission of the attached data is selected in S116, the corresponding data is obtained from the transmission history list (1-3-c), converted by the transmission data conversion program 11, and then converted in S118. Resend the attached data to the sender.

As described above, even when the priorities are once set in the address book 1-3-a, the priorities are learned by repeating the communication, and the set values can be easily changed.

The contents of the embodiments described above are not limited to the contents described above unless the gist of the present invention is changed.

[0070]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When broadcasting the same data to parties of different importance,
