The CPU 22 controls the facsimile apparatus and executes various control procedures related to facsimile transmission. The control program is stored in the ROM 24. That is, the ROM 24 also stores a control program corresponding to the flowcharts of FIGS.

FIGS. 3 to 10 are flowcharts showing a control procedure for ring-type broadcast transmission in the first embodiment.

When the operation is started (step S0), the CPU 22 initializes the memory 18 (step S2). Then, it is registered in the memory 18 that the ring-type broadcast transmission is not started (step S4).

Next, the display unit of the operation unit 20 is cleared via the bus 26 (step S6), and the NCU 2 is turned off by CML (step S8).

Then, information is input from the operation unit 20 via the bus 26, and it is determined whether or not the registration for starting the ring-type broadcast transmission is selected (step S1).
0). As a result, when the registration of the start of the ring-type broadcast transmission is selected, the information of whether or not to start the ring-type broadcast transmission is registered in the memory 18 based on the input information (step S12). ), Step S
Proceed to 14, and if the above registration is not selected, skip step S12 and proceed to step S14.

In step S14, information from the operation unit 20 is input via the bus 26, and it is determined whether registration of information corresponding to the ring type broadcast transmission number has been selected. As a result, if registration of information corresponding to the ring-type broadcast transmission number has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S22 described later. On the other hand, if registration of information corresponding to the ring-type broadcast transmission number is selected, when ring-type broadcast transmission is started, it is determined whether or not the information is registered in the memory 18 (step S16).

As a result, if it is registered that ring-type broadcast transmission is to be started, the input information, that is, the ring-type broadcast transmission number, nickname, subaddress signal, and next destination are registered in the memory 18 ( Step S18) and proceed to step S22. Step S1

In step S16, if it is not registered to start ring-type broadcast transmission, the input information, that is, the ring-type broadcast transmission number, nickname, subaddress signal, and next destination are registered in the memory 18. Then (step S20), the process proceeds to step S22. In step S20, only one subaddress signal and one next destination can be registered corresponding to one ring-type broadcast transmission number.

In step S22, it is determined whether or not the start of ring-type broadcast transmission has been selected. As a result, if the start of ring-type broadcast transmission is not selected,
Proceed to step S80. On the other hand, when the start of the ring-type broadcast is selected, it is determined whether or not the start of the ring-type broadcast is registered in the memory 18 (step S24). As a result, if it is not registered to start the ring-type broadcast transmission, a message “Ring-type broadcast transmission cannot be started from this facsimile machine” is displayed on the display unit of the operation unit 20 via the bus 26. (Step S26), returning to step S8. This display can be deleted by operating any key.

On the other hand, if it is registered that the ring-type broadcast transmission is to be started, it is determined whether or not the ring-type broadcast transmission execution flag is "0" (step S28).
As a result, if the ring-type broadcast transmission in progress flag is not “0”, it means that the ring-type broadcast transmission is being executed, and the “ring” is displayed on the display unit of the operation unit 20 via the bus 26. Cannot transmit because pattern broadcast is being executed "(step S30), and the process returns to step S8. In addition,
This display can be deleted by operating any key.

On the other hand, if the ring-type broadcast transmission in progress flag is "0", it means that the ring-type broadcast transmission is not being executed. Judge the nickname (step S3
2). Then, the control of the ring-type broadcast transmission is changed according to the number of the subaddress signal and the next destination corresponding to the selected nickname.

For example, in the example of FIG. 2B, when a nickname of tennis circulation is selected, only one sub-address signal and one next destination corresponding to this nickname are registered. "1" is set to the loop counter of the type broadcast transmission (step S3).
4). Next, "1" is set to the ring-type broadcast transmission execution flag, and the NCU 2 is turned on by CML (step S3).
6, S38). Then, a call is made to "03-3555-3333" registered as the next destination in response to the tennis circulation (step S46). Next, as a pre-procedure, "1234" registered as a subaddress signal (SUB signal) corresponding to the tennis circulation is transmitted to the call destination (step S48). Then, the image signal is read by the reading circuit 14 and transmitted to the call destination (step S50),
A post procedure is performed (step S52), and the process returns to step S8.

In the example of FIG. 2B, if a nickname of kindergarten circulation is selected, two subaddress signals and two next destinations corresponding to this nickname are registered. "2" is set to the broadcast transmission loop counter (step S40). next,
Set “1” to the ring-type broadcast transmission in progress flag and set N
CU2 is turned on by CML (steps S42 and S44). Then, a call is made to "03-3111-3333", which is registered first as the next destination in response to the kindergarten circulation (step S54). Next, as a pre-procedure, "1111" registered as a sub-address signal (SUB signal) corresponding to the first next destination is transmitted to the call destination (step S56). Then, the image signal is read by the reading circuit 14, stored in the memory 18, and transmitted to the call destination (step S58).

Next, a post-procedure is performed (step S6).
0), CML off of NCU 2 (step S62), 6
After waiting for 0 seconds (step S64), the CML is turned on (step S66). Then, "03-3222-333" which is registered secondly as the next destination in response to the kindergarten circulation.
Call "3" (step S68). Next, as a pre-procedure, a sub-address signal (SU
"1222" registered as (B signal) is transmitted to the above-mentioned call destination (step S70). And the memory 18
Is transmitted to the call destination (step S).
72). Next, a post-procedure is performed (step S74), and NC
U2 is turned off by CML (step S76), the image signal stored in the memory 18 is deleted (step S78), and the process returns to step S8.

If it is determined in step S22 that the start of ring-type broadcast transmission has not been selected, it is determined whether reception has been selected (step S80). As a result, when the reception is not selected, the processing related to other selection is executed (step S82), and the process returns to step S8.

On the other hand, when reception is selected, the facsimile apparatus which has started ring-type broadcast transmission performs the following processing. That is, the CCU turns on the NCU 2 (step S84), and notifies that the SUB signal can be received as a pre-procedure (step S86). Then, it is determined whether a SUB signal has been received (step S88), and
If no signal is received, an image signal is received and recorded, a post-procedure is performed (steps S90, S92), and the process returns to step S8.

On the other hand, when a SUB signal is received, the SUB signal indicates a ring-type broadcast transmission. For example, in the example of FIG. 2B, "1111", "1222",
It is determined whether it is any of “1234” (step S94). As a result, SUB indicating ring-type broadcast transmission
If the signal is not a signal, a reception process based on the received SUB signal is performed (step S96), and the process returns to step S8.

On the other hand, if the SUB signal indicates ring-type broadcast transmission, an image signal is received and recorded, a post-procedure is performed, and the NCU 2 is turned off by CML (steps S98 and S1).
00, S102). Then, the ring-type broadcast transmission loop counter is decremented by 1 (step S10).
4).

Next, it is determined whether or not the ring-type broadcast transmission loop counter has become 0 (step S106). As a result, if the ring type broadcast transmission loop counter is not 0, that is, the ring type broadcast of n (n = 1, 2, 3,...) Loops corresponding to one ring type broadcast transmission If the transmission has not been completed, the process returns to step S8. On the other hand, if the ring type broadcast transmission loop counter is 0, that is, the ring type broadcast transmission of n (n = 1, 2, 3,...) Loops corresponding to one ring type broadcast transmission Is completed, the ring-type broadcast transmission execution flag is set to 0 to permit the ring-type broadcast transmission for the next ring-type broadcast transmission number (nickname) (step S108). Then, the process returns to step S8.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the facsimile apparatus for starting the ring-type broadcast transmission is fixed, but n (n = 1, n = 1) corresponding to the ring-type broadcast transmission number (nickname). When 2, 3,...) Subaddress signals and the next destination are registered, the ring-type broadcast transmission is sequentially performed in n loops. Even if there are many, the transmission can be completed in a short time.

When ring-type broadcast transmission is performed in n loops, the ring-type broadcast transmission number (nickname) for the next ring-type broadcast transmission number (nickname) must be detected on condition that n returns are detected. If the broadcast transmission is permitted and n returns are not detected, a message indicating that the ring broadcast transmission is being executed is displayed, and the next ring broadcast number (nickname) is displayed.
, The usability is improved.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

Since the hardware configuration of the second embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the differences will be mainly described here.

The memory 18 is provided with an area for registering a subaddress signal, a next destination, and information on whether or not to start ring-type broadcast transmission, corresponding to the ring-type broadcast transmission number. Can be registered as follows. The ROM 24 stores a control program corresponding to the flowcharts of FIGS.

FIGS. 12 to 15 are flowcharts showing a control procedure for ring-type broadcast transmission in the second embodiment.

When the operation is started (step S200), the CPU 22 initializes the memory 18 (step S202), and sets "0" to a counter (step S204).

Next, the display unit of the operation unit 20 is cleared via the bus 26 (step S206), and the NCU 2 is
L is turned off (step S208).

Then, information is input from the operation unit 20 via the bus 26, and it is determined whether or not registration of a ring-type broadcast transmission number has been selected (step S210). As a result, when the registration of the ring type broadcast transmission number is selected, the input information, that is, the ring type broadcast transmission number, the subaddress signal, the next destination, and the ring type broadcast transmission start information are registered in the memory 18. (Step S21
2), proceed to step S214.

On the other hand, if the registration of the ring-type broadcast transmission number has not been selected, the process skips step S212 and proceeds to step S214. In step S214, it is determined whether reception has been selected. As a result, if the reception is not selected, a process corresponding to the operation of the operation unit 20 is performed (Step S216), and Step S2 is performed.
Return to 08.

On the other hand, if reception is selected, NCU2
Are turned on (step S218), and a pre-procedure such as notifying that there is a sub address signal (SUB signal) reception function is performed (step S220). Next, it is determined whether a SUB signal has been received (step S222). As a result, if the SUB signal has not been received, the image signal is received / recorded (step S224), a predetermined post-process is performed (step S226), and the process returns to step S208.

On the other hand, when the SUB signal is received, it is determined whether or not the SUB signal is "1234" (step S228). As a result, the SUB signal becomes “123”.
If not "4", processing based on the SUB signal is performed (step S230), and the process returns to step S208.

On the other hand, if the SUB signal is "1234", it is determined whether or not the ring-type broadcast transmission is displayed on the display of the operation unit 20 (step S).
232). As a result, when it is displayed that the interruption is being performed, the process returns to step S208.

On the other hand, if it is not displayed that ring-type broadcast transmission is being interrupted, image signal reception / recording processing is performed (step S234), predetermined post-processing is performed (step S236), and NCU 2 Is turned off (step S238).

Then, it is determined whether or not the counter is "0" (step S240). As a result, if the counter is "0", the number (page number) of the image signals received this time is set in the number counter (step S24).
2). Then, the current date / time (year / month / day / time) is set in the communication start date / time register (step S244), “1” is set in the counter (step S246), and the process returns to step S208.

On the other hand, if the counter is "0", the flow advances to step S248 to determine whether or not the number of image signals received this time matches the number set in the number counter. As a result, if they do not match, "0" is set in the counter (step S250), and the process returns to step S208.

On the other hand, if the number of image signals received this time matches the number set in the number counter, the counter is incremented by "1" (step S25).
2) It is determined whether or not the counter has reached “5” or more (step S254).

As a result, if the counter has not reached “5” or more, the process returns to step S208. On the other hand, if the counter is greater than or equal to “5”, the value obtained by subtracting the communication start date and time set in the communication start date and time register from the current date and time is divided by the counter value, that is, the ring-type multiple times. The cycle of report transmission is determined, and it is determined whether or not this cycle is 0.5 hours or less (step S256).

As a result, if the time is less than 0.5 hour, it is considered that the same information is transmitted indefinitely in the form of a ring broadcast, and the process proceeds to step S258. If it is determined that the same information has not been transmitted indefinitely to the ring type broadcast, step S208
Return to

In the step S258, the counter is set to "7".
It is determined whether or not this is the case. As a result, if the counter is not "7" or more, the display unit of the operation unit 20 displays "Ring-type broadcast transmission may be in an infinite loop. Please check." (Step S260), and return to step S208.

On the other hand, if the counter is equal to or more than "7", it is possible that "ring-type broadcast transmission is in an infinite loop.""Transmission is suspended. Please check." (Step S262), and the process returns to Step S208. Note that the display contents in steps S260 and S262 can be erased by any key operation, and the value of the counter is also cleared with this erase.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the facsimile apparatus which has started the ring type broadcast transmission transmits the information related to the ring type broadcast transmission to the next destination several times due to some trouble, and Even in the case where the broadcast transmission falls into an infinite loop, the facsimile apparatus that executes the ring-type broadcast transmission can detect the fact and notify the operator. Therefore, the ring-type broadcast transmission can be stopped by the user performing a predetermined operation in response to the notification.

If the ring-type broadcast transmission is not stopped in response to the above display, the facsimile apparatus can forcibly interrupt the ring-type broadcast non-transmission, and the ring-type broadcast transmission can be forcibly stopped. It is possible to reliably prevent the information transmission from falling into an infinite loop.

[0071]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Even if the facsimile apparatus which starts the ring-type broadcast transmission is fixed, the ring-type broadcast transmission can be completed quickly.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent ring-type broadcast transmission from being executed indefinitely.
