DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a communication terminal device such as a facsimile device, the use of European special characters is required overseas. There is no problem if a special code is uniquely assigned to a part closed in the system, but if there is data exchange with the outside, it is necessary to use a unified code system.

In general, even when a unified code is used, it is desired to use a code as small as possible (one-byte code).
In this case, the coding system differs between Japan and other countries. In other words, at present, katakana characters and European special characters have a code system in which codes overlap.

On the communication protocol, the code system can be determined by the manufacturer when performing communication between Japan and overseas, but there is a restriction in using a 1-byte code. For example, if uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and katakana have been used in the past, adding a European special character will not fit in one byte.

[0005]

On the other hand, if the code on the protocol is changed for that purpose, a compatibility defect with the machine from the past may occur, and garbled characters may occur at the stage of visual output such as display or report printing. Therefore, it is necessary to process to avoid garbled characters.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a communication terminal device that can handle katakana characters and European special characters without garbled characters.

Returning to FIG. 1, the communication control unit 10 controls G3 or G4 facsimile communication via the network control unit 11. The network control unit 11 is connected to a PSTN or ISDN line and controls connection with the line.

The EEPROM 12 is an electrically rewritable read-only memory for storing various information necessary for the operation of the apparatus and to be retained even when the power of the apparatus is cut off. The system bus 13 is a signal line through which the above components exchange data.

The facsimile apparatus 1 having the above configuration is similar to that shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in the storage areas 3a and 3b of the ROM 3, the European special character code system font table of 1-byte code and the font table shown in FIG.
1 stores a katakana character code system font table of one byte code which is specifically shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the tables 3a and 3b differ in the characters assigned to the codes A0h to FFh.
In FIG. 3A, European special characters are assigned, and in Table 3b, katakana characters are assigned.

The EEPROM of the facsimile machine 1
As shown in FIG. 5, the destination registration table 12
a is registered and stored.

FIG. 6 shows a specific configuration of the destination registration table 12a.

In the figure, the destination registration table 12a
Is configured as a set of items of a destination fax number, a destination name code string, and a code system identification flag Fcode for each destination corresponding to each registration number corresponding to the abbreviated number or one-touch key number. ing.

The destination fax number is information on a destination number to be called. The destination name code string is displayed on the display 9k when the destination is designated by abbreviated dialing or one-touch dialing, or a report of the registered contents of the abbreviated dialing or one-touch dialing is recorded and output to the plotter 6 created by the plotter. This is information that is visually output in a predetermined form, such as performing. The code system identification flag Fcode has a value 0 indicating that the corresponding destination name code sequence is registered in the European special character code system, and a value 1 corresponding to the destination name code sequence corresponding to the katakana character code system. Indicates that it is registered.

Next, a procedure for registering a destination registration table in the facsimile machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

In the same figure, the destination registration table 12a
Is input from the operation display unit 9 (process 1).
01), when the destination fax number is similarly input (process 102), a display D10 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 9k to determine whether or not to use European special characters. , [Left arrow] key 9jl or [Right arrow] key 9jr
Is pressed to set it. If it is OK, the user is prompted to press the [Yes] key 9d (process 103), and the cursor (underline) is displayed each time the [left arrow] key 9jl or the [right arrow] key 9jr is pressed. Is moved to the character string "Suru" or "Sinai" and the cursor control for storing the current cursor position (process 104) is repeated until the [Yes] key 9d is pressed (No loop of the judgment 105).

When the [Yes] key 9d is depressed (Yes in decision 105), the current cursor position is confirmed (decision 106), and if "YES", 0 is set in the code system identification flag Fcode. Set (process 107)
In the case of “Sinai”, the coding system identification flag Fcod
e is set to 1 (process 108).

Then, the input process of the destination name code string through the operation display section 9 is performed (process 109), and the process 101 is executed.
In step 107 or step 10, the destination fax number input in step 102 and the destination name code string input in step 109 are associated with the registration number input in step 109.
8 is registered in the destination registration table 12a in association with the code system identification flag Fcode set in step 8 (step 11).
0).

Thus, the destination registration table 12
In a, a destination name code string is registered, and a code system of the destination name code string is set.

Thus, the destination registration table 12a
The destination name code string registered in the telephone number is displayed in a font-expanded form on the display 9k when the destination is designated by one-touch dialing or abbreviated dialing when making a call, or a report of the registered contents of the one-touch dialing or abbreviated dialing is provided by the plotter 6. It will be recorded and output and will be visually output.

In this case, the procedure for font expansion of the destination name code string is the procedure shown in FIG. 9.
First, a font table to be referred to corresponding to the value of the corresponding code system identification flag Fcode is a European special character code system font table 3a or a katakana character code system font table stored in advance in the ROM 3 as shown in FIG. 3b (step 201).

Then, the destination name code string to be visually output is collated with the selected font table to develop the font (process 202).

As a result, the destination name code string is font-expanded with the correct European special character code or katakana character code, and the destination name code string is set with either the European special character code or the katakana character code. However, it is possible to perform visible output without garbled characters.

The EEPROM of the facsimile machine 1
12, as shown in FIG. 10, the destination registration table 12b
May be stored in advance, and the coding system identification flag Fcode may be registered and stored in the storage area 12c.

In that case, the destination registration table 12b
As shown in FIG. 11, in the configuration in which the item of the coding system identification flag Fcode is deleted from the table 12a shown in FIG. 6, instead of deleting the item of the flag Fcode,
In the storage area 12c, a code system identification flag Fco for all destination name code strings registered in the table 12b is stored.
de is registered. The storage area 1
The code system identification flag Fcode of 2c indicates that a value of 0 indicates that the destination name code sequence is registered in the European special character code system, and a value of 1 indicates that the destination name code sequence is registered in the katakana character code system. It is shown that it is. The coding system identification flag Fc of the storage area 12c
The setting of the mode can be easily performed by inputting the setting from the operation display unit 9, and the setting of the code system identification flag Fcode may be, of course, set by hardware such as a dip switch.

As described above, the code system identification flag Fcode in the storage area 12c is set to the value 1 when the shipping destination of the device is Japan, and is set to the value 0 when the shipping destination is other than Japan. The font table to be referred to when the registered destination name code string is expanded into a font can be correctly specified, and the character table can be visually output without being garbled. In addition, the area required for storing the destination registration table can be reduced by deleting the item of the flag Fcode.

The EEPROM of the facsimile machine 1
12, as shown in FIG. 12, the destination registration table 12b
Is stored in advance, and the coding system identification flag Fcode is registered and stored in the storage area 12c.
The communication management table 12d can be stored.

In that case, the destination registration table 12b
Specifically, it is shown in FIG. 11, and a code system identification flag Fcode relating to all the destination name code strings registered in the table 12b is registered in the storage area 12c. Note that the code system identification flag Fcode of the storage area 12c has a value of 0, indicates that the destination name code string is registered in the European special character code system, and a value of 1 indicates that the destination name code string has katakana characters. It indicates that it is registered with the code system of.

The communication management table 12d is, specifically,
The content shown in FIG. 13 includes various information corresponding to each communication identified by each management number. Specifically, the various types of information include “notified destination information” and “registered destination information” in addition to the communication “date” and the communication “time”.

In the ordinary communication management table, the destination information to be registered is only “notified destination information” notified from the destination during communication, but in this example, “registered destination information” is also added. I try to register.

The "registered destination information" is a copy of the destination name code string registered in the destination registration table 12b corresponding to the destination fax number specified at the time of calling and registered. is there.

If there is no "notified destination information", the destination fax number is stored instead. If there is no "registered destination information", the destination fax number is stored instead. "Notified recipient information" is also "registered recipient information"
If there is no destination fax number to be stored instead, that is, if the handset is lifted and dialed from the handset, or if there is an incoming call from the other party and there is no information notified by the other party, the Both the "notification destination information" and the "registered destination information" are blank.

As the "notified destination information", European special characters are never entered. On the other hand, the "registered contact information"
It is treated as katakana in Japan, and special European characters outside Japan.

Here, when the information is displayed in the communication management report, the "notified destination information" is prioritized over the "registered destination information" and the same code area is treated as katakana. The “registered destination information” is displayed only when the “notified destination information” is blank. At this time, katakana / Europe special characters can be distinguished even in the same code area depending on the destination, so that the characters are not garbled.

In the case where "notification destination information" is selected as "registration destination information" according to such a rule, and a communication management report based on the communication management table 12d is visually output in a form of being printed on recording paper by the plotter 6. FIG. 14 shows an output example.

As shown in the figure, "notified destination information"
Also, when any of the “registered destination information” is selected as a display target, the characters are displayed in the correct character code system, so that the characters are not garbled.

Further, as the communication management table 12d, a configuration having the configuration shown in FIG. 15 may be applied instead of the configuration having the configuration shown in FIG.

The table 12d shown in FIG. 15 is the destination information shared / notified / registered for "notified destination information" and "registered destination information" in the configuration shown in FIG. The destination information registered as “notified / registered destination information” and whether the destination information registered as “notified / registered destination information” is a European character code system (value 0) or a katakana character code system (value 1) ), An item of a coding system identification flag Fcode is added.

At the time when the "notified destination information" is obtained, there is "registered destination information", that is, the "destination name code string" registered corresponding to the destination in the destination registration table 12b. In this case, it is stored as “notified / registered destination information”, and the value of the corresponding code system identification flag Fcode is set to the value 1 indicating the katakana character code system.

If there is no “notified destination information”, “registered destination information” is stored as “notified / registered destination information”, and the corresponding code system identification flag Fcode is set as the value of the corresponding code system identification flag Fcode. Set to the value 1 indicating the character code system. Except for Japan, the value is 0, which indicates the European special character code system.

When displayed on a report, the value of the coding system identification flag Fcode is checked to determine whether the character is a katakana / Europe special character and the corresponding font table is referenced for display.

Here, it is assumed that European special characters can be notified through communication. In communication, a CSI frame (standard protocol) and an RTI frame (non-standard protocol) are sent. It is advisable that CSI frames can only use spaces and + from 0 to 9. However, since the RTI is a frame that can be used independently by the manufacturer, there is no problem in exchanging European special characters. If katakana, alphabets (uppercase and lowercase) and symbols are supported, one byte cannot support more characters. However, I want to answer somehow when there is a request for European special characters. Normally, when performing international communication, a fax number including a country code is registered in the CSI. If the country code is received and the country code is Japan based on the CSI, the value of the code system identification flag Fcode in the communication management table shown in FIG. 15 is registered as the value 1 indicating the katakana character code system. If it is other than Japan, the value of the code system identification flag Fcode is registered as the value 0 indicating the European special character code system.

Since the country code of Japan is 81, the called terminal identification signal CSI is registered as "814462201109". Since the country code of the United States is 1, the called terminal identification signal C
The SI is registered as “1462220109”.

In this case as well, when displayed on a report, the value of the coding system identification flag Fcode is determined, katakana / Europe special characters are determined, and the corresponding font table is referred to for display.

The state is returned to a state where European special characters are not allowed in communication information. In a system in which an area for storing the code system identification flag Fcode cannot be secured, FIG.
In the communication management table 12d shown in FIG. 12, the item of the coding system identification flag Fcode is omitted, and the configuration shown in FIG. 16 is employed. A software-like or hardware-like switch is provided to set whether to handle as katakana characters.

If there is "notified destination information", it is registered in "notified / registered destination information". If the switch is set to katakana, "registration destination information" is registered when "notified destination information" does not exist. However, since the name is katakana, there is no problem if it is handled as katakana as it is. If the switch is a European special character, "Registered destination information" is registered if there is no "Destination destination information", but if the name is entered in European special characters and registered as it is, "Notified destination information" (Katakana) cannot be distinguished. Therefore, if there is a character in the code region (A0h to FFh) of a European special character, it is not registered because it is a European special character. However, there is always a number to be called at the time of transmission, so registering the number makes it possible to determine the destination. At the time of reception, there is no number to call, so the destination cannot be determined. However, when a name is present in the transmission, the character is not garbled by substituting the number.

The communication management table 12d shown in FIG. 16 from which the item of the code system identification flag Fcode is omitted.
In, there is no area for storing the code system identification flag Fcode. For this reason, it is not determined whether the registered “notified / registered destination information” has a katakana character or a European special character code system, and the content of “notified / registered destination information” is katakana / Europe. Determined by one of the special characters. As the “notified / registered destination information”, katakana and European special characters can be used, but the European special characters and katakana are determined depending on the destination because they share a part of the same code area.

When there is no “notified destination information”, the “registered destination information”, which is a copy of the destination name code string registered in the destination registration table 12b, is changed to “notified /
It is used as "registered destination information". In this case, it is not possible to distinguish whether the contents of "notified / registered destination information" are katakana characters or European special characters.

Therefore, if the contents of the "notified / registered destination information" match the destination name code string registered in the destination registration table 12b, it is converted into katakana according to the katakana / Europe special character set first. deal with. Thereby, garbled characters can be prevented.

At this time, if the name registered as the communication management information is deleted, it is erroneously determined that the name registered in the communication management information is not changed. The name deleted after the communication management information is accumulated and cannot be stored can be changed.

Now, the sender name code string notified from the sender is visually output by printing it on the receiver side. In the sender record printing, the sender expands the image information into image information in G3, but notifies on the communication in G4. The received information is expanded into image information on the receiving side. FIG. 17 shows an example of the mode of source record printing. In the figure, the "RICOH TODA (TTI)" portion is a portion in which the sender name code string is expanded and printed.

The information to be notified on the communication is TTI (non-standard G4), and katakana and European special characters can be used. At this time, the characters may be garbled. In the TSI printing, the information notified on the communication in G3 is developed into image information on the receiving side. Information notified on the communication is RTI (non-standard G3), CSI
(Standard G3) is non-standard and has katakana, but European special characters cannot be used. Therefore, the characters are not garbled, and there is a problem only with respect to the G4 source record printing.

Therefore, the TTI is used in common with G3, but in a system to which G4 is connected, European special characters are prevented from being registered as a source name code string. Alternatively, a sender name code string including characters in the code area of European special characters is not notified to the other party.

By doing so, when notifying the other party with G4, there is no European special character, so that it is displayed as katakana and no garbled characters occur.

Further, on the transmitting side, the TTI can be registered by setting the character code type to either katakana or European special character, but there is no method of notifying the other party of the setting. Then, it is converted into a 2-byte code such as SJIS and sent in such a way that katakana / Europe special characters can be identified. S on the receiving side
Since it is sent in a 2-byte code such as JIS, Katakana / Europe special characters can be identified, so it is converted to an internal code (1 byte) and the character is determined by whether or not the special characters are included in the conversion. The code type is determined to be either a European special character or a Katakana character, and a font table to be referred to when the notified source name code string is visually displayed can be properly selected and the font can be expanded, without garbled characters.

Also, when performing international communication, the country code of the partner is entered in the calling number. If this calling number has a country code of Japan, the TTI is not sent if there is a special European character. By doing so, the source name code string including the European special characters is not notified on the communication, so that the characters are not garbled on the display on the receiving side.

The CSI (standard G3) is a called terminal identification signal determined by the standard G3 protocol. R
The TI (non-standard G3) is determined by the non-standard G3 protocol, and has different names and code systems for each manufacturer. G4TID (standard G4) is determined by the standard G4 protocol, and is an abbreviation for a terminal. Although alphanumeric in the recommendation, JIS8 (including katakana) can be displayed between domestic manufacturers. TTI (Non-standard G4)
It is determined by four protocols, and the name and code system are different for each manufacturer.

As described above, according to this embodiment, katakana characters and European special characters can be handled without being garbled.

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a G3 or G4 facsimile apparatus. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can be similarly applied to other communication terminal devices such as a communication terminal device that performs notification in column communication and a communication terminal device that includes destination information as an item of communication management information.

Prepare the two with the destination information,
According to the priority order, when the notified destination information is selected and described in a report, it is treated as katakana characters, and when the registered destination information is selected and described in a report, it is treated as a European special character. , When the destination name is described in the communication management report and output visually,
There is obtained an effect that katakana characters and European special characters can be handled without being garbled without being garbled.

According to the invention of claim 4, as the destination information to be registered in the communication management table, the notified destination information notified at the time of communication from the destination device and the registered destination information registered in the own device in advance. One of the two types of destination information with the destination information is registered in accordance with a predetermined priority, and the character code type of the registered destination information is also registered. When described in a report, based on the identification information, the notified destination information is treated as katakana characters, and the registered destination information is treated as European special characters. When written in a report and visually output, it is possible to handle katakana characters and European special characters without garbled characters without garbled characters. Obtained. Further, there is an advantage that a required storage area can be reduced as compared with a case where both the notified destination information and the registered destination information are registered as the destination information in the communication management table.

According to the invention of claim 5, as the destination information to be registered in the communication management table, the notified destination information notified at the time of communication from the destination device and the registered destination information registered in the own device in advance. One of the two types of destination information with the destination information is registered in accordance with a predetermined priority, and the character code type of the registered destination information is also registered. When described in a report, based on the identification information, when the notified destination information and the destination is Japan,
As katakana characters, when the notified destination information was not Japanese, or because the registered destination information was treated as European special characters,
When the destination name is described in the communication management report and visually output, there is an effect that it is possible to handle katakana characters and European special characters without garbled characters without being garbled. Further, there is an advantage that a required storage area can be reduced as compared with a case where both the notified destination information and the registered destination information are registered as the destination information in the communication management table.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, when the destination information registered in the communication management table is set to be handled as katakana characters, there is a possibility that the characters may be garbled into katakana characters. If the registered destination information including the character code is not registered as the destination information, and if the destination information registered in the communication management table is set to be treated as European special characters, Notification destination information including katakana character codes that may be garbled into special characters is not registered as the destination information, so the destination name is described in the communication management report and is visually output. In addition, there is obtained an effect that the katakana character and the European special character can be handled without being garbled without being garbled. Further, since it is not necessary to individually store the character code type for each of the other party information registered in the communication management table, there is an advantage that the necessary storage area can be reduced accordingly.

According to the seventh aspect of the invention, when the destination information registered in the communication management table is the registered destination information registered in the destination registration table, the European special character is automatically set. Because it was treated as code,
When the destination name is described in the communication management report and visually output, there is an effect that it is possible to handle katakana characters and European special characters without garbled characters without being garbled. Further, since it is not necessary to individually store the character code type for each of the other party information registered in the communication management table, there is an advantage that the necessary storage area can be reduced accordingly.

[0093] According to the invention according to claim 8, European special characters are prevented from being input as the source name code string to be visually output in a predetermined format on the communication partner device side. Characters are not garbled when the caller name code string is visually displayed on the destination device side, and an effect is obtained in which katakana characters and European special characters can be handled without being garbled.

[0094] According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, when the source name code string to be visually output in a predetermined format on the communication partner device side includes a European special character, the communication partner device is connected to the other party. Since the destination device is not notified, garbled characters do not occur at the time of visually displaying the source name code string on the communication partner device side, and katakana characters and European special characters are handled without garbled characters. The effect that becomes possible is obtained.

According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, whether or not the source name code string is a European special character can be identified by the receiving side device, so that the source name code string is visible on the receiving side device. This has the effect that characters are not garbled during output.

According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, when the communication destination is Japan, the destination name code string which is visually output in a predetermined format as katakana characters on the destination apparatus side is included in the source name code string. If the special characters are included, the destination device is not notified, so that no garbled characters occur when the communication destination device side visually displays the source name code string, and katakana characters and European special characters are used. An effect is obtained in which characters can be handled without being garbled.
