You. If NO in steps S11 and S12,
Steps S11 and S12 are repeated. If YES in step S11, the telephone number input in step S13 is stored in the transmission history table 7c, and then the process proceeds to step S14. Further, if YES in step S12, a call is made to the input destination in step S14, and it is determined whether a CSI signal is detected in step S15. If NO, the process directly proceeds to step S17, while YES If step S1
After storing the telephone number in the CSI signal in the transmission history table 7c in step 6, the process proceeds to step S17. Next, in step S17, it is determined whether an NSF signal has been detected. If NO, the process directly proceeds to step S19, while if YES, the name data in the NSF signal is stored in the transmission history table 7c in step S18. ,
In step S19, the TSI, NSS, and DCS signals are transmitted. In step S20, image data is transmitted for facsimile communication. In step S21, the line is opened, and the transmission process ends.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a registration process executed by the main controller 1 of the facsimile machine 20 of FIG. In FIG. 7, first, in step S31, the set value RN of the record number is initialized to 1, and in step S32, whether the registration processing based on the transmission history table 7c or the registration processing based on the reception history table 7b is selected. In the former case, the process proceeds to step S33, while in the latter case, the process proceeds to step S41.
Proceed to.

In the registration process based on the transmission history table 7c, the data of the record number RN is read from the transmission history table 7c in step S33, and step S34 is performed.
It is determined whether or not there is a dialed telephone number in the data of the record number RN read out at step S36. If YES, the process proceeds to step S36.
Proceed to 35. Next, in step S35, it is determined whether or not there is a telephone number of the CSI signal. If YES, the process proceeds to step S36, while if NO, the process proceeds to step S51. Further, in step S36, it is determined whether or not there is name data of the NSF signal. If YES, the process proceeds to step S37, while if NO, the process proceeds to step S51.

In the registration processing based on the incoming call history table 7b, the data of the record number RN is read from the incoming call history table 7b in step S41, and the process proceeds to step S42.
It is determined whether there is a telephone number of the outgoing telephone number information from the exchange based on the outgoing telephone number notification service. If YES, the process proceeds to step S43, while if NO, the process proceeds to step S44. In step S43, T
It is determined whether there is a telephone number of the SI signal. If YES, the process proceeds to step S44, while if NO, the process proceeds to step S51. Next, in step S44, it is determined whether or not there is name data of the outgoing telephone number information from the exchange. If YES, the process proceeds to step S37,
If NO, the process proceeds to step S45. Further, it is determined in step S45 whether or not there is name data of the NSS signal. If YES, the process proceeds to step S37,
If NO, the process proceeds to step S51.

In step S37, record number RN
Is displayed on the display unit 4, and it is determined in step S38 whether or not the registration key 5a is turned on. If NO, the process directly proceeds to step S51, while if YES, the speed dial table is obtained in step S39. After storing the displayed telephone number and name data of the registered content in 7c, the process proceeds to step S51. Next, in step S51, it is determined whether or not the record is the last record in the history table. If YES, the registration process ends,
If NO, the record number RN is incremented by 1 in step S52, and the process returns to step S33.

In the registration process of FIG. 7, the registration process is performed by displaying one record at a time on the display unit 4 for each record number. However, the present invention is not limited to this. After the cursor position is moved using the keys, the registration process may be performed by turning on the registration key 5a.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the telephone number and the name from the exchange of the telecommunications carrier based on the other party's facsimile machine or the outgoing telephone number notification service via the public telephone line L at the time of an incoming call. And the received telephone number and name are stored in the incoming call history table 7b in the RAM 7 (steps S5 and S2 or S7), and the main controller 1 registers the telephone number and name in the incoming call history table 7b at the time of registration. The telephone number and name of the other party stored together are displayed on the display unit 4 (step S37), and when the operator turns on the registration key 5a (YE in step S38).
S) Control is performed so that the displayed telephone number and name of the other party are stored in the speed dial table 7a (step S39). Therefore, it is not necessary to input the name data when registering the abbreviated dialing based on the incoming call history table 7b, which is troublesome, the registration process can be performed efficiently, and the operability is greatly improved. be able to. In addition, since the registered contents are registered by displaying and confirming the registered contents in advance and then turning on the registration key 5a, it is possible to confirm whether or not the registered contents are accurate and to register accurately, and not to register. Unnecessary destinations are not displayed, so the registration operation is not confused.

According to this embodiment, a telephone number and a name are received from a facsimile apparatus of the other party via the public telephone line L at the time of outgoing call, and the received telephone number and name are stored in a transmission history table 7c in the RAM 7. (Step S13 or S16 and S18), and at the time of registration, the main control unit 1 displays on the display unit 4 the telephone number and name of the other party whose telephone number and name in the outgoing call history table 7c are both stored. Then, when the operator turns on the registration key 5a (YES in step S38), control is performed so that the displayed telephone number and name of the other party are stored in the speed dial table 7a (step S39). Therefore, when registering the abbreviated dialing based on the transmission history table 7c, it is not necessary to input the name data, which is troublesome, the registration process can be performed efficiently, and the operability is greatly improved. be able to. In addition, since the registered contents are registered by displaying and confirming the registered contents in advance and then turning on the registration key 5a, it is possible to confirm whether or not the registered contents are accurate and to register accurately, and not to register. Unnecessary destinations are not displayed, so the registration operation is not confused.

<Modification> In the above embodiment, the example of the facsimile apparatus 20 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is connected to a public network such as a public telephone network or a public digital network. For example, the present invention can be applied to a communication terminal device including a telephone, a data communication device, and the like.

In the embodiment described above, the abbreviated dial table 7a in FIG. 2 is configured so that the telephone number and name can be automatically registered. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The automatic registration of the telephone number and the name may be performed in another automatic dial table.
