The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a copy count check report from a remote facsimile to a center, particularly when a facsimile facsimile is requested for a copy count check.

As the demand for plain paper facsimile increases, it is necessary to check the usage of the facsimile for the purpose of checking the usage of the paid facsimile service or checking the facsimile of the facsimile. For example, when checking or managing the number of use of the facsimile in each room as part of a hotel or room service, in order to check the number of use of the facsimile, the user must go directly to the place where the facsimile is installed. There was a problem that it took a lot of time and effort to check the number of copies of multiple faxes.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for checking the number of copies of a remote facsimile for solving the above problems.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a copy count check key input process for inputting a key signal at a center to check the copy count of a remote facsimile, and the call mode by dialing a remote telephone number after the copy count check key input process. After the process of forming the, and the call mode forming process, the process of transmitting a variety of data values in a non-standard code to the center side, and analyzing the transmitted non-standard code at the center side detects the number of copies to the command code Image data transmission for transmitting the image data of the copy count check report generated in the process of transmitting to the remote site, receiving the transmitted command code from the remote site, creating a copy count check report, and creating the copy count check report. Image of the copy count check report transmitted in the process and the image data transmission process Characterized in that the image data receiving process for receiving data.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a facsimile system according to the present invention,

A central processing unit 200 for controlling the system according to a predetermined program;

A memory unit 300 storing a program including protocol data and character data, and accessing or storing data under the control of the main controller 200;

In addition to the key for checking the number of copies of the system, OPE 800 having a plurality of keys for generating key data such as various function setting keys,

A scanner 400 which scans a copy count check report image and converts the image into digital image data and provides the same to the central processing unit 200;

The modem 500 is controlled by the central processing unit 200, modulates and outputs the output data of the central processing unit 200 into analog data, and demodulates and outputs the analog reception data into digital data.

It is operated by the control of the central processing unit 200 to form a call loop of the telephone line (Tel-Line), and NCU (NETWORK) for interfacing the signal of the modem 500 and the signal of the telephone line (Tel-Line) CONTROL UNIT) (600),

The printer 700 is configured to print reception data according to a control signal of the central processing unit 200.

2 is a control flowchart of a center side facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a control flowchart of a remote side facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. 4 is a protocol between two facsimiles when receiving a copy count check request from a center facsimile apparatus according to the present invention.

CNG (calling tone), CED (called station identification), NSF (non-standard facilities), CSI (called subscriber identification), DIS (digital identification orientation singnal), NSC (non-standard commend), CIG (called identification), DTC (digtal command), NSS (non-standard set up), TSI (transmitting subscriber identification), DCS (digital command signal), TCF (training check), CFR (confiration to reseive), EOP (end of procedure), MCF ( Signal flows such as massages and disconnect commands are shown.

5 is a format of the copy count check report according to the present invention.

One preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 above.

First, in step 70, the central processing unit 200 determines whether a copy count check key has been input from the OPE 800. Then, when the copy count check key is input, the central processing unit 200 on the center side dials the telephone number of the remote side in step 80, and in step 90 the central processing unit 200 sends the CNG tone to the remote site. Send it out.

At this time, in step 10, the central processing unit 200A of the remote branch determines whether the ring is received, and when it is determined that the ring is received, the CED tone is sent to the center in step 20. Then, in step 100, the central processing unit 200 determines whether the transmitted CED tone is received. At this time, when the CED tone is received and transmits and receives the protocol as shown in FIG.

Next, the protocol of FIG. 4 will be described below. First, as described above, when the CED tone is received at the center side, the central processing unit 200A at the remote side is configured with Non-Standard Facilities (NSF), Called Subscriber Identification (CSI), and DIS ( Digital Identification Signal) signal is sent. In this case, the data format of the Non-Standard Facities (NSF) is shown in Table 1 below.

Thereafter, the central processing unit 200 on the center side receives the signal transmitted from the remote site and transmits a non-standard commend (NSC), call subscriber (CIG), and digital commend (DTC) signal. In this case, the NSC signal includes various data commands formatted in the NSF signal including a copy count check and a password command.

Then, the central processing unit 200A on the remote side analyzes the transmitted NSC signal to determine whether there is a copy count check request. When it is determined that the copy count check request is made, the central processing unit 200A of the remote site prepares a copy count check report and transmits a non-standard set up (NSS), a TSI (Transmitting Subscriber Identification) and a DCS (Digital Command Signal) signal. To the center. The remote site then sends a TCF (training check) signal to the center. The center side then sends a CFR signal to the remote site in response to the TCF signal. The remote branch receives the CFR signal and transmits the copy count check reporter image data to the center side. At this time, when one page of image data is transmitted, an EOP (End of Page) signal is transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver. Then, when the receiving side transmits the MCF (Message Confirmation) signal in response to the EOP to the center side, the transmission and reception of one page of image data is terminated, and the remote side again transmits the non-starndard facilities (NSF) to transmit and receive the next page. Called subscriber identification (CSI) and digital identification signal (DIS) signals are transmitted to the center to repeat the above-described operation.

As described above, the present invention provides a copy count check reporter at a remote facsimile when a copy count check request is received from a center facsimile. In order to check the number of times of use, you have to go to the place where the facsimile is installed and check it.
