Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the recall fed from an originating office through a telephone in case an operator of the remote side is absent, by providing a remote side identifying signal memory part to a control part at the incoming side of a facsimile equipment together with a message control part connected to said control part. CONSTITUTION:A control part 9 of an incoming office 2 of a facsimile equipment outputs a ringing signal B and a display signal C to drivers 10 and 11 according to call control signals PRI-EOP. Then a monitor part 14 of the part 9 transmits a control signal F to a message to a message controller 16 in case no operator appears even after a prescribed period of time. The controller 16 extracts the message data D out of a file 17 as well as an originating office ID out of a remote side office identifying signal memory part 21 and transmits them to a character generating part 18. The data D is converted into the character data through the part 18. An output part 19 delivers a message M, an incoming office name G, an originating office name H and the data information T onto a form 20. This omits the recall fed from the originating office through a telephone.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a contact request information recording method for recording contact request information from a transmitting station at a receiving station in a facsimile system or the like.

In facsimile systems and the like, prior to transmitting information, a transmitting station calls a destination station (receiving station) and then transmits the information, but there is a desire to simplify this calling procedure.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional method of calling the other party in a facsimile system will be explained using FIGS. 2 and 3. 〇 FIG. 2 is a block diagram explaining the conventional example, and FIG. 3 is a time chart explaining the control procedure in the conventional example. .

In FIG.
(hereinafter referred to as the terminating station) is connected by line 3.

There are two methods for the originating station 1 to call the operator of the terminating station 2: The first method is to call the operator using the telephone 4, and the second method is to call the operator using the paging control signal PRI'/EOP immediately after transmitting the image information (for example, the image information of the first page) PX. It is. This second
The method will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In FIG. 2, a receiving station (having an automatic transmission and reception function) 2 that receives a calling signal CALL from a calling station l sends control signals CHD and DIS and a called station identification signal I shown in FIG. 3 to the calling station l. do. The control signal CED is a signal indicating that the reception is OK, and the control signal DI8 includes an identification hood ID in the receiving station identification signal I, which notifies the capability of the own station.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
P is sent to the receiving station 2. The digital control signal DC8 is a signal specifying the transmission/reception mode, and the control signal TCP
is a signal for determining the line status.

On the other hand, the receiving station 2 confirms that reception is OK as shown in FIG.
A control signal CFR indicating this is sent to the transmitting station 1.

The transmitting station 1 that received this control @CFP transmits the image information (
4) One page worth of picture message 4) px is sent to the receiving station 2. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, an end signal EOP (indicated by a broken line) is sent.

However, if it is desired to call the operator of the receiving station 2 after the image information PX ends, the call control information pRI-EOp shown in FIG. 3 is sent instead of the end signal IGoP.

In FIG. 2, a paging signal PRI-EOP from a signal generating section 5 of a calling station 1 is sent by a control section 6 to a receiving station 2 via a line 3.

At the receiving station 2, the received paging control signal PRI-F
The iOP passes through the line control section 7 and modem 8, and then is sent to the control section 9. Upon receiving this, the control unit 9 outputs the ringing signal B.
At the same time, the display signal C is sent to the driver 11.

As a result, the buzzer 12 sounds, and a message (not shown) to call the operator is displayed on the display 13 (problem to be solved by the invention).
If the operator is called and the operator does not appear within a predetermined time, the time monitoring unit 14 in the control unit 9 will disconnect the line, and the calling station j will use the telephone 4 to receive the call again. There was a problem that station 2 had to be called. [Means for solving the problem] The above problem was solved by using a first device and a second device having a means for outputting a calling signal such as a clear voice. In a system in which a second device is connected to the device by a line and receives a call control signal from the first device and outputs a call signal, means for monitoring the elapsed time since the start of output of the call signal; The second device is provided with a storage unit storing an identification code of a partner station corresponding to the call control signal, and a printout means for outputting a contact message, and the second device is connected to the first device. When the calling signal is output in response to the calling control information, when the output duration of the calling signal exceeds a predetermined time, the communication message information that reports the arrival of the ejection control signal is printed out. This problem is solved by the contact request information recording method.

[For production]

In the present invention, a first device (for example, a transmitting station of a facsimile machine) is connected to a second device (for example, a receiving station of a facsimile machine).
When calling the operator on the side, a call control signal is sent, and when the second device that receives the signal outputs the call signal, if the operator is absent (unresponsive to the call signal),
It is designed to print out a communication message to notify the arrival of a call control signal. Therefore, since the operator can later see this communication message and make a telephone call to the first device, there is no need for a telephone calling operation from the first device to call the operator of the second device.

〔Example〕 .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a transmitting station 1 transmits image information PX,
When calling the operator on the receiving station 2 side, a paging control signal PRI-EOP is sent from the signal generator 5.

In the receiving station 2, the control unit 9 sends out a ringing signal B and a display signal C to the drivers IO and 11^ based on the received paging control signal PRI-gOP. This causes the buzzer 12 to sound, and the display 13 outputs and displays a paging message (not shown).

However, if the operator does not appear even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the monitoring section 14 in the control section 9 sends a control signal F to the message control section 16. The message control section 16 reads the message data D (for example, "Please contact me") in the file 17 and the sending station fD (from the other station identification signal storage section 21).
H) and sends it to the character generator 18. The message data D is given a character code C by the character generator 18.
After being converted into H, it is sent to the output section 19.

The output unit 19 prints "Please contact me" on the paper 20 as shown in the figure.
In addition to outputting the message M, it also outputs the called station name (or code) 01, the calling station name (or code) H, and the date and time information T.
Also output.

As described above, in the present invention, when the originating station calls the operator of the destination (terminating) station by sending out visual information and calling control signals, if the operator of the destination station is absent, the called record is saved. Since it is printed out, the operator who sees this record later can immediately contact the originating station.Therefore, the originating station can once again contact the operator of the other party (terminating) station by telephone. No calling procedure is required.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention has the effect that when calling a partner station operator using a control signal, when the calling station sends a call control signal, even if the partner station operator is absent, there is no need for the calling station to call again by telephone. bring.
