< main process >

The main process performed in FAX device 10 is described with reference to Fig. 4.Main process starts when the power supply opening of FAX device 10.The CPU12 starting main process has judged whether incoming call (S100).CPU12, when the CI signal sent from switch 80 being detected via PSTN90, has been judged as incoming call.

But, when the originator's number of itself is not set to not notify setting and calls out by the other side's device 50, before the detection of CI signal, in FAX device 10, receive originator's number of the other side's device 50.The reception of originator's number is undertaken by the method identical with existing method, its overview of simple declaration.Be sent out after 6 times at the exhalation signal for originator's number sent from switch 80, send originator's number from switch 80 equally.CPU12 after 6 exhalation signals for originator's number being detected, the timing controlled Department of Communication Force 30 in during predetermined.In Department of Communication Force 30, receive the originator's number sent via PSTN90.CPU12 obtains the originator's number received by Department of Communication Force 30.In Japan, after exhalation signal for originator's number of transmission 6 times, undertaken connecting the circuit of PSTN90 by Department of Communication Force 30, after receiving originator's number, carry out circuit disconnection.CI signal is detected after receiving originator's number.When the other side's device 50 is not for notifying setting, do not send originator's number, in Department of Communication Force 30, not receiving originator's number.Thus CPU12 also cannot obtain originator's number.

When there being incoming call (S100: yes), CPU12 performs and receives process (S102).Illustrate later and receive process.After execution receives process, CPU12 makes process return S100, and performs this S100.When not incoming call (S100: no), CPU12 judges the releasing timer that is associated with any originator's number stored in access-in management table, and whether time is up (time up) (S104).In S104, CPU12 accesses access-in management table, using the object record recorded as S104 stored in access-in management table.Such as, CPU12 using the record that stores in access-in management table from upper successively as object record.When CPU12 compares the current time measured by timing unit 28 and the releasing timer be associated with originator's number in object record.At current time through removing moment of timer, CPU12 is judged as that the releasing timer of object record is not in that time is up (S104: no).Now, CPU12 makes process enter S110.

At current time through removing moment of timer, CPU12 is judged as that the releasing timer of object record is in that time is up (S104: yes), and the access set information to object record arranges " OFF " (S106).Then, CPU12 is to the releasing set timer "None" (S108) of object record.After execution S108, using whole records of storing in access-in management table as object, judge whether the process of S104 ~ S108 terminates (S110).When there is untreated record, when not ending process to whole record (S110: no), CPU12 makes process return S104.Afterwards, a untreated record as object record, is performed the process of above-mentioned S104 ~ S108 by CPU12.Do not having untreated record, to whole record end when process (S110: yes), CPU12 makes process return S100.CPU12 performs main process repeatedly, until the power-off of FAX device 10.

S104 ~ S110 is illustrated according to Fig. 2.In this explanation, when the current time measured by timing unit 28 is 12 15 points.After the judgement of S100 is negative (S100: no), when performing S104 first, the releasing timer comprised in this record " when 12 10 points " and current time " when 12 15 points " as object record, compare by CPU12 by the record (originator's number " 123-456-7890 ") that stores in the upper of the access-in management table shown in Fig. 2.Now, current time " when 12 15 points " have passed through the moment of removing timer " when 12 10 points ", and therefore CPU12 carries out certainly (S104: yes) at S104.Then, the access set information " ON " be associated with originator's number " 123-456-7890 " in object record is set to " OFF " (S106) by CPU12, will remove timer " when 12 10 points " and be set to "None" (S108).Thus, in the object record of access-in management table, the access set information be associated with originator's number " 123-456-7890 " and remove timer and become " OFF " and "None" respectively.

Then, CPU12 performs S110, when current object record is the record of originator's number " 123-456-7890 ", untreatedly to record three (with reference to Fig. 2).Therefore, CPU12 carries out negating (S110: no) in S110, using the record of originator's number " 234-567-8901 " as object record, the releasing timer comprised in this record " when 12 20 points " and current time " when 12 15 points " are compared.Now, current time " when 12 15 points " is through the moment of removing before timer " when 12 20 points ", and therefore CPU12 carries out negating (S104: no) in S104, makes process enter S110.CPU12 also performs the process of S104 ~ S110 respectively to all the other two records.The record " do not notified " by originator's number is as object record, to this judgement at S104 for negating (S104: no), when process enters S110, CPU12 thinks and to terminate the process of whole records stored in access management table, carry out certainly (S110: yes), making process return S100 in S110.

< receives process >

The reception process performed in S102 with reference to the main process of the key diagrams 4 such as Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.Start the CPU12 receiving process and judge whether receive originator's number (S200) by Department of Communication Force 30.As mentioned above, originator's number was received by Department of Communication Force 30 before the detection of CI signal.When receiving originator's number (S200: yes), CPU12 sets the originator number (S202) of acquired originator's number as this.When not receiving originator's number (S200: no), CPU12 setting does not notify the originator's number (S204) as this.

After execution S202 or S204, CPU12 accesses access-in management table, judges and the originator's number as this and whether access set information that originator's number of setting is associated is " ON " (S206).Such as, suppose originator's number as this and the originator's number set as " not notifying ".In the access-in management table shown in Fig. 2, " do not notify " that the access set information be associated is " OFF " with originator's number.In this case, CPU12 carries out negating (S206: no) in S206, makes process enter S208.When this originator's number is not stored in access-in management table, access set information is processed as " OFF ".Therefore, CPU12 makes process enter S208.Suppose originator's number as this and the originator's number set as " 123-456-7890 ".In the access-in management table shown in Fig. 2, the access set information be associated with originator's number " 123-456-7890 " is " ON ".In this case, CPU12 carries out certainly (S206: yes), making process enter S210 in S206.In addition, CPU12, when arranging " ON " to access set information, removing the moment (S312, S314 with reference to Fig. 6) removing set timer simultaneously, describing in detail later to this.Afterwards, when not having to send a telegram here (S100 with reference to Fig. 4: no), be in for releasing timer the record that time is up, CPU12 arranges " OFF " to access set information, and to removing set timer "None" (S106, S108 with reference to Fig. 4).Thus be " ON " (S206: yes) at access set information, when processing execution S210, releasing timer is not in that time is up.

In S208, CPU12 controls the automatic access based on the set point number stored in flash rom 18.That is, CPU12 is when the CI signal of set point number being detected, exports the instruction being used for circuit and connecting, control Department of Communication Force 30 to Department of Communication Force 30.Thus, in Department of Communication Force 30, carry out connecting the circuit of PSTN90.In S210, CPU12 controls the automatic access based on the number of times being less than the set point number stored in flash rom 18 (hereinafter referred to as " exception access number of times ").That is, CPU12 is when receiving the CI signal of exception access number of times, exports the instruction being used for circuit and connecting, control Department of Communication Force 30 to Department of Communication Force 30.Exception access number of times is such as set to 1 time.Thus, in Department of Communication Force 30, carry out connecting the circuit of PSTN90.

After execution S208 or S210, CPU12 judges whether receive CNG signal (S212) by Department of Communication Force 30.When not receiving CNG signal (S212: no), CPU12 controls common communication process (S214).Common communication process refers to, such as the process of so-called home mode.Specifically, the message that it is content with " when carrying out FAX transmission, pressing the start button of the other side's device 50, when phone, remaining standby " that CPU12 exports.Hear that the user of the other side's device 50 of this message makes behavior according to message.When user presses start key to start FAX to send, in FAX device 10, at this timing receipt CNG signal, receive FAX data afterwards.CPU12, when receiving FAX data, controls printing portion 22.In printing portion 22, recording paper prints the image corresponding with received FAX data.When the user of the other side's device 50 does not press start key, CPU12 performs the process such as ring ringback tone.When the user of FAX device 10 makes response, control Department of Communication Force 30 etc., perform the process of the telephone communication based on sound.Have leave word call function at FAX device 10, when being set as leave word call pattern, as common communication process, CPU12 performs the process being used for leave word call function.Home mode and leave word call pattern also realize in existing FAX device.Therefore, other explanations related to this are omitted.After execution S214, CPU12 makes process enter the S304 of Fig. 6.

When receiving CNG signal (S212: yes), CPU12 judges the reception number of times (S216) of the CNG signal received.When receiving number of times and being less than CNG reception number of times (S216: be less than CNG and receive number of times), CPU12 makes process enter the S310 of Fig. 6.When receiving number of times and being CNG reception number of times (S216:CNG receives " CNG1 " and " CNG 2 " of number of times/reference Fig. 3), CPU12 controls Department of Communication Force 30, sends CED signal and DIS signal (S218/ is with reference to " CED " and " DIS " of Fig. 3) successively.CED signal and DIS signal are received by the other side's device 50 respectively.After execution S218, CPU12 makes process enter the S300 of Fig. 6.As mentioned above, in S218, also can omit the transmission of CED signal.DIS signal is the command signal comprising the relevant receiver ability information of the decoding capability corresponding to the coded system of view data.

In the S300 of Fig. 6, CPU12 judges whether receive DCS signal by Department of Communication Force 30.When not receiving DCS signal (S300: no), CPU12 makes process enter S310.When receiving DCS signal (S300: be/with reference to Fig. 3 " DCS "), CPU12 controls Department of Communication Force 30, receives FAX data (S302).CPU12 controls printing portion 22.In printing portion 22, recording paper prints the image corresponding with received FAX data.CPU12 accesses access-in management table, to the originator's number as this and access set information that originator's number of setting is associated arranges " OFF " (S304).Then, the releasing set timer "None" (S306) that is associated of the CPU12 pair of originator's number set with the originator's number as this.At this, as this originator's number and the originator's number set is not stored in access-in management table when, CPU12 adds new record, in added record, originator's number that also the originator's number as this can be set, access set information " OFF ", releasing timer "None" are associated and add storage.Afterwards, CPU12 controls Department of Communication Force 30, according to the standard of FAX communication, performs the pre-arranged procedure, terminates this access (S308).When terminating access, in Department of Communication Force 30, the circuit carried out from PSTN90 disconnects.

In S310, CPU12 thinks and does not receive the CNG signal (with reference to the S216 of Fig. 5: be less than CNG and receive number of times) that CNG receives number of times, or does not receive DCS signal, is judged as taking defeat of the FAX data that this FAX communicates.CPU12 accesses access-in management table, to the originator's number as this and access set information that originator's number of setting is associated arranges " ON " (S312).Then, the releasing set timer that the CPU12 pair of originator's number set with the originator's number as this is associated removes the moment (S314).The set releasing moment is from the current time measured by timing unit 28 moment after a predetermined time.Such as, send in failed the other side's device 50 at FAX, repeatedly perform failed FAX at predetermined intervals and send.Certain hour for removing the moment is considered repeatedly to perform the interval that sends again and sets in advance.Such as, certain hour is set to 10 minutes, thus the releasing moment is set to the moment from current time after 10 points.At this, the originator's number set at the originator's number as this is not stored in access-in management table, CPU12 adds new record, in added record, originator's number that the originator's number as this is set, access set information " ON ", be associated add storage as removing releasing moment of timer.

After execution S314, CPU12 accesses access-in management table, judges whether the number of the access set information " ON " stored in access-in management table is more than base value (S316).Base value presets, such as, be stored in flash rom 18.Base value also can be operated operating portion 26 by user and change.The Rule of judgment of S316 can be whether the number of access set information " ON " is more than base value.When the access set information " ON " determining to store in access-in management table several, each record of storing in access-in management table successively as object, counts the number of access set information " ON " by CPU12.Now, RAM16 guarantees the counting region for counting.Such as, for the access-in management table shown in Fig. 2, the number of access set information " ON " is " 2 " (each records with reference to upper 2 sections), and the value managed in the counting region therefore on RAM16 is " 2 ".The number of the access set information " ON " managed in the counting region on RAM16 is less than base value, and when not being more than base value (S316: no), CPU12 makes process enter S308, terminates this access as described above.More than base value (S316: yes), CPU12 is indication example exhalation number of times input picture (S318) as shown in Figure 7 on display part 24.Exhalation number of times input picture, as the information relevant to the renewal of set point number, as shown in Figure 7, comprises the message relevant to the renewal of the number of times that takes defeat and breathe out, current exhalation number of times and input frame 241.About the exhalation number of times in exhalation number of times input picture, in FAX device 10, as mentioned above, corresponding with exhalation signal, ringback tone ring set point number, therefore exhalation number of times is corresponding with set point number.If with FAX device 10 for benchmark, then exhalation number of times input picture can also be called set point number input picture.But according to the renewal done the input of this exhalation number of times input picture, the content that user is familiar with is the change of the number of times (exhalation number of times) of ringback tone ring.Therefore, in exhalation number of times input picture, be exhalation number of times by set point number token.When upgrading exhalation number of times according to the display of exhalation number of times input picture, user such as operates the numeric keypad comprised in operating portion 26, inputs new exhalation number of times.The new exhalation number of times inputted is presented in input frame 241.When determining inputted exhalation number of times, the confirming button comprised in user such as push portion 26, when not upgrading exhalation number of times, the cancel button comprised in user's push portion 26.

Then, CPU12, according to the display of exhalation number of times input picture, judges whether to have input new exhalation number of times (S320).Have input new exhalation number of times as mentioned above, when the OK button of operating portion 26 is pressed, carrying out in S320 certainly (S320: yes).Now, CPU12 obtains inputted new exhalation number of times as new set point number, the set point number stored is updated to new set point number (S322) in flash rom 18.In the situation that the cancel button of operating portion 26 is pressed, or when not carrying out any input and have passed through the scheduled period, carry out negating (S320: no) in S320.When S320 is negative (S320: no), or after performing S322, CPU12 makes process enter S308, terminates this access as described above.

The effect > of < present embodiment

According to the present embodiment, following effect can be obtained.
