[0033]
First, in step S601 shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the wireless telephone device 103 is in the call mode, that is, the user is using the wireless telephone device 103 to talk with the other party. More specifically, the wireless telephone device 103 is not connected to the facsimile device 101 but is operating alone. The wireless telephone device 103 is connected to the wireless line 104 so that a telephone call can be made, and the communication device i / f of the ADPCM codec 203 is connected to the wireless telephone device 103. The input / output path is cut off to enable input / output of the microphone 201 and the speaker 202.
[0034]
Next, in step S502, it is detected whether or not the user of the wireless telephone device 103 has connected the wireless telephone device 103 to the facsimile device 101. That is, detection of whether or not the connector 213 is connected, detection of the presence / absence of a signal from the facsimile machine 101 exchanged with the communication device i / f unit 212, or the use of the connector 213 with a dedicated mechanical switch Whether or not the wireless telephone device 103 is connected to the facsimile device 101 is detected by a part or all of a method of detecting that the connection operates in synchronization with turning on and off of the switch.
[0035]
Here, the connection between the wireless telephone device 103 and the facsimile device 101 may be made via a cable.
[0036]
If it is not detected in step S502 that the wireless telephone device 103 has been connected to the facsimile device 101, it is monitored in step S603 whether or not a call termination operation has been performed. The call mode is ended to end the operation of the wireless telephone device 103 of the present embodiment. If the call end operation is not performed, the process returns to step S601 to continue the call mode.
[0037]
On the other hand, if it is detected in step S502 that the wireless telephone device 103 has been connected to the facsimile device 101, then in step S604 the wireless telephone device 103 terminates the call mode and transmits data so that the facsimile device 101 can perform facsimile communication. The communication mode is set. That is, the wireless telephone device 103 enters a data communication mode for operating the wireless adapter function of the data communication device, the ADPCM codec 203 interrupts input / output signals of the microphone 201 and the speaker 202, and connects a facsimile signal transmitted / received to / from the G3 modem to the connector. 213, input and output from the communication device i / f unit 212.

[0039]
Upon detecting that the wireless telephone device 103 has been connected in step S701, the facsimile device 101 detects in step S702 whether a transmission original has been set. That is, the reading unit 305 detects whether or not the transmission document is set in the reading unit based on, for example, an on / off signal of a document sensor.
[0040]
In step S702, when the facsimile apparatus 101 detects that the transmission original is set, in step S703, the facsimile apparatus 101 reads the transmission original by the reading unit 305, converts the read original into electronic data, and converts the electronic data into facsimile transmission data. Facsimile transmission data is in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation T.30. 4 or may conform to another recommendation.
[0041]
Then, in step S704, facsimile transmission of the facsimile transmission data obtained in step S703 is performed. That is, for example, according to ITU Recommendation T. In accordance with 30, normal G3 facsimile transmission starting from CNG transmission is performed via the wireless telephone device 103. Specifically, the analog signal input / output line of the G3 modem of the communication control unit 307 is connected to the ADPCM codec 203 through the wireless telephone device i / f unit 309 and the communication device i / f unit 212 of the wireless telephone device 103. I have. Since the wireless telephone device 103 is in the data communication mode for operating the wireless adapter function of the data communication device, the ADPCM codec 203 cuts off the input / output signals of the microphone 201 and the speaker 202 and inputs a facsimile signal transmitted / received to / from the G3 modem. Output. The wireless line 104 is connected using a channel codec 204, a wireless communication unit 205, and an antenna 206. It is assumed that the wireless channels are connected in a mode in which facsimile signals can be communicated. Therefore, facsimile communication using a wireless line can be performed by the operation of the G3 modem. Thus, the operation of the facsimile apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment ends.
[0042]
On the other hand, if the facsimile apparatus 101 does not detect that the transmission original is set in step S702, the facsimile apparatus 101 detects in step S705 whether or not transmission data is stored in the RAM 303, for example. That is, it is detected whether the transmission original is read in advance by the reading unit 305 and converted into facsimile transmission data and stored in the RAM 303, or whether the transmission data is input by another external input and stored in the RAM 303.
[0043]
If the transmission data is stored in step S705, the facsimile apparatus 101 performs the facsimile transmission of the transmission data stored in the RAM 303 in step S704 as described above, and ends the operation of the facsimile apparatus 101 of the present embodiment. I do.
[0044]
Here, the order in which steps S702, S703 and S705 are processed may be reversed. That is, first, it may be determined whether or not transmission data is stored in step S705, and if not, whether or not a transmission original is set in step S702.
[0045]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S705 that the transmission data is not stored, the facsimile apparatus 101 determines that the operation to be performed is not facsimile transmission but facsimile reception, and starts facsimile reception in step S706. That is, for example, according to ITU Recommendation T. In accordance with 30, normal G3 facsimile reception starting from transmission of CED and DIS is performed via the wireless telephone device 103. The connection with the wireless telephone device 103 and the signal path are the same as described above. Therefore, facsimile communication using a wireless line can be performed by the operation of the G3 modem. Thus, the operation of the facsimile apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment ends.
