How to manage usage history by mobile device in wireless fax machine with multiple mobile devices

The present invention relates to a method for managing usage history for each portable device in a wireless fax system having a plurality of portable devices.

Typically, a wireless facsimile device includes one fixture and a plurality of portable devices, and the fixture is connected to a wire so that a user can make a direct call or receive a document from the outside. Or, you can make an extension call with a fixed device wirelessly, and also send and operate a fax document placed on the document glass wirelessly. The wireless fax machine stores a transmission / reception report in a memory in a fixed device and prints the transmission / reception history when the user operates the usage confirmation key. However, recently, when using multiple mobile devices in one fixed device for each department of an office, a function of managing usage history for each mobile device is required to distinguish between fax transmission and reception and telephone voice call history for each department. .

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for managing usage history for each portable device in a facsimile system using multiple portable devices.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for managing fax transmission / reception and voice call history for each portable device in a facsimile system using a plurality of portable devices.

The present invention for achieving the above object is to register the usage history for fax transmission and reception and voice call for each portable device in the fixed device of the fax machine with a radiotelephone, and output the usage history of the desired portable device if necessary. It is characterized by.

7A and 7B are exemplary views of outputting a usage list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7A and 7B, an operation of outputting a usage list for each portable device will be described in detail.

The usage history for each mobile device is the telephone number, the date and time of the call or fax transmission.

First, when the user presses the call key of the portable device to make a call using the portable device in the standby state of step 101, the fixed device is applied to the CPU 50 of the facsimile unit 72 through the fixed device wireless unit 70. In step 102, the CPU 50 checks whether there is a call request by pressing the call key of the portable device and proceeds to step 103 when there is no call request of the portable device. In step 103, the CPU 50 checks whether the call key (not shown) provided in the facsimile unit 72 is pressed or the handset (not shown) is lifted to the hook-off state. In step 104, the CPU 50 receives the dial key signal from the OPE 52, dials through the modem 58, and proceeds to step 105. In step 105, the CPU 50 checks whether there is a response from the counterpart, and proceeds to step 106 if there is a response from the counterpart. In step 106, the CPU 50 performs a call. The CPU 50 stores the call date and the call start time in the fixed device table area of the memory 54 as shown in FIG. In step 107, the CPU 50 reads the phone number stored in the dial buffer, stores the phone number in the fixing device table area of the memory 54 as shown in FIG. In step 108, the CPU 50 checks whether the call is terminated. If the call is terminated, the CPU 50 proceeds to step 109. In step 109, the CPU 50 calculates the call time by subtracting the stored call start time from the current time and stores the call time in the fixed device table as shown in FIG.

However, if the call key of the rest device is pressed in step 102 and the call request is received from the portable device, the process proceeds to step 111 to search for the portable device in which the call key is pressed from the fixed device controller 32. In this case, the fixed device controller 32 is assigned a unique number for each of the plurality of portable devices, so it can be recognized in which mobile device the call key is pressed. You can search for which mobile device's call key was pressed. Then, when the user presses the telephone number to call using the keypad 10 of the mobile device, the telephone number is applied to the fixing unit control unit 32 through the antenna 44 and the RF receiving unit 36, and the fixing unit control unit 32 uses the dial unit 46. Perform dialing. After that, the fixed device controller 32 transmits the dial completion signal to the CPU 50 through the line controller 42. At this time, the CPU 50 proceeds to step 113 after receiving the dial completion signal in step 112 and checks whether there is a response from the other party. In step 114, the CPU 50 stores the call date and the call start time in the corresponding mobile device table area of the memory 54 as shown in FIG. In addition, when there is a response from the other party, the fixed device controller 32 applies the dialed telephone number to the CPU 50. Then, in step 116, the CPU 50 receives the dialed phone number and stores the phone number in the corresponding mobile device table area of the memory 54 as shown in FIG. In step 117, the CPU 50 checks whether the call is terminated. If the call is terminated, the CPU 50 proceeds to step 110. In step 110, the CPU 50 calculates a call time by subtracting the stored call start time from the current time and stores the call time in the corresponding portable device table as shown in FIG.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, 7A, and 7B after the usage history is registered for each fixed device or portable device, the usage history for each fixed device or portable device is described. 12 checks whether the history check key is pressed from the keypad 16 and proceeds to step 202 when the history check key is pressed. In operation 202, the portable device controller 12 transmits a portable device usage history confirmation request command to the CPU 50 through the fixed device wireless unit 70. Then, in step 301, the CPU 50 checks whether a usage history confirmation request command is received from the portable device, and proceeds to step 304 when the usage history confirmation request command is received. In step 304, the CPU 50 transmits a notification sound generation signal for selecting the number selection menu of the portable apparatus or the number of the portable apparatus to the portable apparatus. In step 203, when the mobile device controller 12 receives the notification signal for selecting the number of the mobile device or the number of the mobile device through the antenna and the receiver 24, the mobile device controller 12 indicates that the mobile device is connected to the display device. The number selection menu is displayed, and the notification sound generated from the notification sound generation unit (not shown) is sent to the handset 16 through the voice amplifier 14. Then, the user inputs the number of the portable device for confirming the usage history after hearing the notification sound, and in step 204, the portable device controller 12 checks whether the portable device number has been input. When the number of the portable device is input, in step 205, the portable device controller 12 transmits the input number of the portable device to the fixed device wireless unit 70, wherein the fixed device wireless unit 70 applies the number of the portable device to the CPU 50. do. At this time, the CPU 50 checks whether the portable device number is received in step 305 and proceeds to step 206 when the mobile device number is received. In step 206, the CPU 50 prints a usage history list of the portable device. For example, if the number 1 of the portable device is selected after pressing the usage history confirmation key provided on the keypad 10 of the portable device, the history list of the portable device 1 is printed in the facsimile unit 72 as shown in FIG. 7B.

However, in step 301, the CPU 50 proceeds to step 302 when the command for confirming usage history is not received from the mobile device. In step 301, the CPU 50 checks that the history check key is pressed from the OPE 52. Proceed. In step 303, the CPU 50 controls the printer 56 to print a usage list of the fixed device as shown in FIG. 7A.

As described above, the present invention prints the usage history for each fixed device or a plurality of portable devices in a facsimile device equipped with a wireless telephone, so that users of the portable device can efficiently recognize and manage the details of faxes or telephone calls. There is an advantage.
