Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transfer reception of facsimile to a user who is near facsimile equipment of transfer destination and to speedily announce a feeding state by transmitting at least one kind of information from among call originating telephone numbers, the abbreviated name of the party and the presence/absence of automatic recording as a facsimile image to the facsimile equipment at the transfer destination, when fax is received during transfer mode. SOLUTION: When facsimile equipment FSI is called, a call originating telephone number detecting circuit 14 detects the call originating telephone number and displays the telephone number of a display part on an automatic answering telephone set. A CPU 1 is the central control part and controls the entire equipment according to the contents of a program stored in an ROM 2. Moreover, an SRAM 3 registers setting of an operator and the CPU 1 controls the equipment as a whole, while watching the registered contents in the SRAM 3 as well. An original is read by a contact sensor(CS) 9, encoded through a read control gate array 10 and stored in an image memory 13. Stored images are compounded and outputted by an LBP 12.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a facsimile apparatus having a calling telephone number notification service function (number display function) capable of displaying a telephone number of a called party on a telephone when a call is received.

[0003]

However, the conventional number display function is not always effective.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus which can transfer a facsimile reception to a user near a destination facsimile apparatus and can promptly notify that a call has been made. Things.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a calling telephone number notifying service function and a transfer function of transferring a received facsimile image to another facsimile when a call is received during a transfer mode. , The outgoing telephone number, the destination abbreviation,
The facsimile apparatus transmits at least one of the information with and without answering machine as a facsimile image.

[0006] Thus, it is possible to promptly notify the user near the transfer destination facsimile of the call.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a facsimile apparatus FS1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In the facsimile apparatus FS1, when a call is received, the outgoing telephone number detecting circuit 14 detects the outgoing telephone number and displays it on the display unit of the answering machine 15. CPU
Reference numeral 1 denotes a central control unit which controls the entire apparatus according to the contents of a program stored in the ROM 2. Also, SR
The settings of the operator are registered in AM3,
Controls the entire apparatus by also seeing the registered contents of the SRAM 3.

An original is read by a contact sensor (CS) 9 and read control gate array (R-CN).
T) Image memory (DRAM) encoded through 10
13 is stored. The stored image is decoded by the recording control gate array (W-CNT) 11. The laser printer (LBP) 12 prints and outputs the recording paper.

[0010] Alternatively, after being subjected to PM-AM modulation by a modem (MODEM) 4, it is transmitted to a line through an NCU 5.

The received image data is input to the MODEM 4 through the NCU 5, demodulated, decoded, inspected for image errors, decoded if correct, and printed out on a recording paper by the printer 12.

When the operator presses the key (KEY) 8, various instructions / settings can be performed.
The contents are stored and held in the SRAM 3 and can be confirmed on the display unit (LCD) 7. The CPU 1 detects key input data through the panel control gate array (OP-CNT) 6 and causes the LCD 7 to display necessary data.

Next, the operation of the facsimile machine FS1 will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the facsimile machine FS1.

The facsimile apparatus FS1 has a number display function and a facsimile transfer function of transferring a received facsimile image to a destination facsimile registered in advance in the facsimile apparatus FS1.

In the facsimile apparatus FS1, when a call is received (S101), the outgoing telephone number detecting circuit 14 having a number display function detects the outgoing telephone number (S10).
2) After that, it is determined whether facsimile reception or telephone call is received by CNG detection (S103).

If CNG is detected (S10)
3) Facsimile reception, facsimile apparatus FS
If 1 is in the transfer mode (S104), after receiving the image, the facsimile image is transferred to the transfer destination set in advance in the facsimile machine FS1 (S105).

On the other hand, if the facsimile machine FS1 is not in the transfer mode (S104), the image is received and printed out in the same manner as in the normal facsimile operation (S10).
6).

When no CNG is detected (S1)
03), a telephone call is received, and if the facsimile machine FS1 is in the transfer mode (S107) and there is no reception by picking up the handset (S108), the calling telephone number,
Information such as the abbreviated name of the destination, absence / absence of answering machine, date, and time is transferred as a facsimile image to a destination set in advance in the facsimile machine FS1 (S111).

If the facsimile machine FS1 is not in the transfer mode (S107) and picks up and receives the handset (S108), nothing is done.

According to the above embodiment, a facsimile apparatus having a calling telephone number notification service (number display) function and a transfer mode for transferring a received facsimile image to another facsimile receives a call during the transfer mode. The facsimile reception is transferred to the user near the destination facsimile machine by transmitting the destination telephone number, the destination abbreviation, and the information with or without answering machine as a facsimile image to the destination facsimile. Not only can be played, but also can be promptly notified of the call.

[0022]

According to the present invention, a facsimile apparatus having a calling telephone number notification service (number display) function and a transfer mode for transferring a received facsimile image to another facsimile receives a call during the transfer mode. In this case, not only the effect of transferring the facsimile reception to the user near the destination facsimile machine but also the effect of being able to promptly notify that a call has been made is provided.
