The display unit 70 can display a key image on a display screen (not shown). And the display part 70 is provided with the well-known touch panel 67 (refer FIG. 1) on the surface. The touch panel 67 has a detection area corresponding to the key image that is superimposed on the display screen and allows the key image to be seen through and a key press operation by the user is detected. When the detection area corresponding to the displayed key image detects a key pressing operation, the MPU 10 detects that there is a key input corresponding to the key image displayed at that time.

  The image memory 80 is configured by a DRAM or the like, and temporarily stores received image data and read image data read by the reading unit 40. The codec 90 encodes (encodes) the read image data read by the reading unit 40 according to the MH, MR, MMR method or the like for transmission. The codec 90 decodes (decodes) the received image data.

  The modem 100 is an ITU-T recommendation T.30. 30 based on the facsimile transmission control procedure according to 17, V. 27ter, V.L. Modulates and demodulates transmission / reception data according to 29. The NCU 110 has a function of controlling connection with the telephone line L1 and detecting the transmission and reception of dial signals corresponding to the destination telephone number (including the FAX number). A LAN I / F (interface) 120 is a connection interface with a LAN (local area network) L2, and the facsimile apparatus 1 performs transmission / reception of electronic mail via the LAN I / F 120 via the LAN L2. . The facsimile apparatus 1 can be shared with a plurality of network terminals (not shown) via the LAN I / F 120 and the LAN L2.

  Further, by a user input operation or the like from the operation unit 60 of the facsimile apparatus 1, a one-touch / abbreviated number, a FAX number or a mail address, a destination name, and a facsimile apparatus installed at the destination (hereinafter referred to as “destination apparatus”). Are received in the RAM 30.

  As the reception capability information, together with a plurality of pieces of destination information, the reception capability information of the destination device is stored in the RAM 30 in association with each destination information. The reception capability information is information about the format of image data that can be processed by the destination device by receiving the image data and performing print distribution. That is, a telephone directory table 150 as shown in FIG. 4 is formed in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30, and a one-touch / abbreviated number is stored in the “one-touch / abbreviated” column 150a. In the example of FIG. 4, the abbreviation “01”, the abbreviation “13”, and the abbreviation “22” indicate that the abbreviation number is input by operating the abbreviation key 62 and the numeric keypad 64, and the one-touch “A” In the one-touch key 63, the key corresponding to A is selected. Further, information on the destination name is stored in the “destination name” field 150b, and a FAX number or mail address is stored in the “FAX number / mail address” field 150c as destination information that is a transmission destination. Furthermore, information about the resolution, encoding method, format size, etc. of the image data is stored in the “reception capability” column 150d as reception capability information via a delimiter such as “comma”. The phone book table 150 corresponds to a transmission destination storage unit.

  The facsimile apparatus 1 has an Internet facsimile function for communicating image data by electronic mail (mail communication). The facsimile apparatus 1 attaches the image data read by the reading unit 40 and stored in the image memory 80 to the electronic mail. For example, it can be transmitted to other network terminals or mail terminals on the Internet that are communicably connected. Further, the facsimile apparatus 1 can receive an electronic mail transmitted from another communication terminal apparatus or a mail terminal, and print out the image data attached to the electronic mail.

  In this specification, full dial input does not mean that the NCU 110 reads and sets a FAX number or mail address registered in advance in the phone book table 150 by operating the abbreviated key 62 or one-touch key. This is an operation of typing by direct operation (direct input) of the numeric keypad 64 or the character key 68. For convenience of explanation, a FAX number (dial number) or mail address of a transmission destination input by full dial is referred to as “direct destination”.

  In the present embodiment, the case of performing broadcast transmission will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a broadcast transmission reservation program executed when the program stored in the ROM 20 is read and executed by the MPU 10 when the broadcast transmission mode is set by operating the mode setting key 61.

  In S10, the transmission destination for broadcast transmission is input by the operator. Specifically, full dial input using the numeric keypad 64 and character key 68 and transmission destination input using the one-touch key 63 and shortening key 62 are performed. When the full dial is input, the MPU 10 stores it in a dial memory 30a as storage means in the RAM 30. A direct destination identification flag for identifying that the direct destination is input by the full dial is assigned to the direct destination input by the full dial. When the transmission destination is input by the one-touch key 63 or the abbreviated key 62, the MPU 10 sequentially stores the transmission destinations assigned to the one-touch key 63 or the abbreviated key 62 and registered in the telephone book table 150 in the dial memory 30a. .

  In this manner, when the input of all transmission destinations for broadcast transmission by the operator is completed and the start key 65 is depressed in S20, the MPU 10 transmits the transmission stored in the dial memory 30a in S30. It is determined based on the presence or absence of the direct destination identification flag whether there is a transmission destination (that is, a direct destination) input by full dial. If 10a determines that there is no direct destination, the process jumps to S110.

  In S30, if the MPU 10 determines that there is a direct destination, the direct destination designation location is counted in S40. In S50, the MPU 10 prompts the display unit 70 to re-enter the destination directly, for example, “Please re-enter the transmission destination input by full dial.”

  In S <b> 60, the operator inputs the fax number or mail address of one destination directly with the numeric keypad 64 or character key 68, and operates an input end key (not shown) that is a key image provided on the touch panel 67. . The MPU 10 receives the operation input of the input end key, and the MPU 10 determines whether or not the OK key 69 or the start key 65 is input in S70. When the OK key 69 is operated, the MPU 10 searches in S80 to determine whether there is a match between the re-input direct destination and the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a. judge.

  If the MPU 10 determines that there is no match, the display unit 70 displays “There is no re-input destination” in S120, and informs the operator that there is a mismatch. Inform.

  The MPU 10 determines whether or not they match as follows. The MPU 10 determines whether or not the re-entered FAX number or mail address matches the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a from the upper digit (station number side). In addition, you may determine whether it corresponds from a low-order digit.

  In S120, as a result of comparing all the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a with the direct destination re-input this time, it is stored in the dial memory 30a that has been determined that the number of places with the most matched digits is large. One direct address is estimated to be the fax number or mail address that the operator has re-entered correctly, and is displayed on the display unit 70. In this case, the position of the digit that is not correctly input by re-input and is not matched is displayed with an identification symbol different from the number (indicated by “#” in FIG. 5 as an example) and matched. Display the digit part with the correct number. In this way, by directly displaying the destination, it is possible to notify the operator which digit is inconsistent.

  After performing the display for a predetermined time (for example, several seconds), the MPU 10 estimated in S130 that the fax number or mail address that the operator wanted to re-enter correctly from the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a. The destination is directly deleted, and the process proceeds to S90. When this deletion is performed, the MPU 10 stores the direct destination that is the target of the deletion in a re-input mismatch recording area (not shown) of the RAM 30. In other words, the MPU 10 disables broadcast transmission to the direct destination by deleting from the dial memory 30a the direct destination that did not match by the search determination.

  In S80, if there is a match between the re-input direct destination and the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a by searching and determining, the MPU 10 matches the re-input direct destination. At the same time, a checked flag is assigned to the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a, and the process proceeds to S90. In other words, when the search determination is a match, the MPU 10 performs a confirmation process for adding a checked flag to the matching direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a and making the direct destination valid.

  In S90, the MPU 10 adds a checked flag to all the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a to determine whether or not the match determination by re-input is completed for all the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a. Judgment based on whether or not. If the MPU 10 determines that re-input has not been completed for all direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a, the process returns to S60. If the MPU 10 determines that re-entry has been completed for all direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a, the process proceeds to S100.

  When the start key 65 is pressed in S100, in S110, the MPU 10 sets a timer (not shown) for executing broadcast transmission after a predetermined time in order to make a transmission reservation. The flowchart ends.

  In S70, when the start key 65 is operated, it is assumed that a start instruction is issued by the start key 65. In S140, the MPU 10 is re-input until the start key 65 is operated in S70. The direct destination and the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a are searched to determine whether there is a match.

  If the MPU 10 determines that there is no match, the display unit 70 displays “There is no re-input destination” in S160, and the operator is informed that there is a mismatch. Inform. In S170, the same processing as S130 is performed. That is, in S170, the direct destination estimated to be the fax number or mail address that the operator has re-entered correctly is deleted from the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a, and the process proceeds to S150. When this deletion is performed, the MPU 10 stores the direct destination that is the target of the deletion in a re-input mismatch recording area (not shown) of the RAM 30. In other words, the MPU 10 disables broadcast transmission to the direct destination by deleting from the dial memory 30a the direct destination that did not match by the search determination.

  In S140, if there is a match between the re-input direct destination and the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a by searching and determining, the MPU 10 matches the re-input direct destination. At the same time, a checked flag is assigned to the direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a, and the process proceeds to S150. In other words, when the search determination is a match, the MPU 10 performs a confirmation process for adding a checked flag to the matching direct destination stored in the dial memory 30a and making the direct destination valid.

  In S150, the MPU 10 adds a checked flag to all the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a to determine whether or not the match determination by re-input is completed for all the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a. Judgment based on whether or not. If the MPU 10 determines that re-input has not been completed for all direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a, the process proceeds to S180. In S180, the MPU 10 deletes the direct destination to which the checked flag is not given, that is, not re-input from the dial memory 30a. When this deletion is performed, the MPU 10 stores the direct destination that is the target of the deletion in a re-input non-execution recording area (not shown) of the RAM 30. That is, the MPU 10 disables broadcast transmission to the direct destination by deleting the direct destination that has not been re-inputted from the dial memory 30a.

  If the MPU 10 determines that re-input has been completed for all the direct destinations stored in the dial memory 30a, the process of S110 is performed, and this flowchart ends.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a broadcast transmission program executed by the MPU 10 when the timer set for transmission reservation in S110 times out.
When this program is started, the MPU 10 sequentially reads a plurality of transmission destinations stored in the dial memory 30a by repeating the processing of S200 and S210. To do. At this time, when the transmission destination is a mail address, the MPU 10 transmits to another network terminal or mail terminal on the Internet via the LAN interface 120. At this time, the MPU 10 stores the broadcast transmission result in the broadcast transmission result recording area of the RAM 30.

  In S210, when the MPU 10 determines that transmission of all reserved transmission destinations is completed, the process proceeds to S220. In S220, the MPU 10 determines the same based on the direct transmission stored in the re-transmission mismatch recording area and the re-input non-execution recording area (both not shown) as a result of the broadcast transmission stored in the broadcast transmission result recording area of the RAM 30. A report transmission result report is created and output to the recording paper P by the recording unit 50, and the broadcast transmission program is terminated.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a broadcast transmission result report printed on the recording paper P. In FIG. 6, in the transmission destination (direct destination) column Pb, the direct destination where the broadcast transmission is performed is recorded, and when the result of the broadcast transmission is successfully performed for each direct destination, the transmission result column “Communication ○” is recorded in Pa, and “x” is recorded in the case of failure. In the broadcast transmission result report, when the re-input direct destination does not match the direct destination input first time, the direct destination input first time is recorded in the destination column Pb. In the transmission result column Pa, a record indicating that there is a mismatch at the time of re-input is recorded. Furthermore, in the broadcast transmission result report, if there is a transmission destination that has not been re-input from the dial memory 30a and has not been broadcast in S180, the transmission result field Pa Is recorded that the re-input has not been executed, and the deleted direct destination is recorded in the transmission destination column Pb.

Now, according to this embodiment, there are the following features.
(1) When the facsimile apparatus 1 re-enters the transmission destination and receives a start instruction from the start key 65 for starting broadcast transmission, the MPU 10 sends the destination stored in the dial memory 30a. Broadcast transmission is not executed for destinations that have not been re-entered. Then, the MPU 10 performs broadcast transmission to a destination that matches the destination of the broadcast transmission that has been re-input from among the plurality of destinations that are stored in the dial memory 30a and that are to be broadcast.

  As a result, in this embodiment, broadcast transmission can be performed when the re-input destination requested to re-input the transmission destination matches the already-input transmission destination. Furthermore, if there is an instruction to start broadcast transmission while re-entering the transmission destination, if the transmission destination already re-input matches the transmission destination already input for the first time, Transmission can be performed, and broadcast transmission can be prevented from being performed on a transmission destination that has not been re-input.

  As a result, there is an effect that it is not necessary to perform broadcast transmission to a transmission destination in which an input error has been made in the first input, and it is not necessary to re-input all destinations. Also, when performing broadcast transmission, if there is at least one input mistake in the transmission destination among a plurality of transmission destinations input at the first time, re-enter all the transmission destinations that perform broadcast transmission from the beginning. Broadcast transmission can be performed to a destination that is not necessary and has no input error.

  (2) The facsimile apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is provided with the telephone directory table 150 for registering transmission destinations corresponding to both the shortcut key 62 and the one-touch key 63. The facsimile apparatus 1 is provided with a numeric keypad 64 and a character key 68 capable of full dial input together with the shortening key 62 and the one-touch key.

  The dial memory 30a can store a transmission destination for broadcast transmission stored in the telephone book table 150 based on the input operation of the speed key 62 or the one-touch key. Enabled to store the transmission destination for broadcast transmission entered in. In addition, the MPU 10 transmits the broadcast destination re-input by full dial using the numeric keypad 64 or the character key 68, and the broadcast destination stored in the dial memory 30a and input by full dial using the numeric keypad 64 or the character key 68. Only the determination of whether or not the transmission destination to be sent matches is made.

  As a result, even if there is at least one full-dial input error in the first input, broadcast transmission to the first transmission destination in which there was an input error is processed in an impossible manner, so all destinations There is no need to redo the input.

  (3) In the facsimile apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, when re-inputting a destination for broadcast transmission is performed, the MPU 10 is already stored in the dial memory 30a (storage means) with respect to the display unit 70 as display control means. The destination for broadcast transmission was not displayed.

  As a result, the operator cannot see the broadcast transmission destination already entered and stored in the dial memory 30a when re-inputting the broadcast transmission destination. For this reason, it can be expected that the operator carefully re-inputs the transmission destination. If the transmission destination that has already been stored is displayed on the display unit 70, the operator sees it and re-enters it, so that the possibility of making the same input mistake increases.

  (4) In the facsimile apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, after a plurality of destinations for broadcast transmission are input and stored in the dial memory 30a, the MPU 10 displays re-entry of the destination for broadcast transmission as a re-input promoting means. This is displayed on the section 70 to prompt the operator. As a result, in the present embodiment, the MPU 10 can display a message for prompting re-input on the display unit 70 and prompt the operator to re-input.

  (5) In the facsimile apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the MPU 10 determines whether or not the re-input direct destination and the first direct input are coincident with the display unit 70 as display control means. The result was displayed.

  As a result, the determination result as to whether or not the re-input direct destination matches the first input direct destination is displayed, so that it is possible to inform the operator which transmission destination has an input error.

  (6) In the facsimile apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, a transmission destination to which broadcast transmission is not performed by the MPU 10 can be displayed (that is, notified) by the display unit 70 that notifies the operator. As a result, it is possible to notify the operator that no transmission destination has been transmitted.

  (7) In the facsimile apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the recording unit 50 as the second notification unit records the transmission destination where the broadcast transmission is not performed after the completion of the broadcast transmission on the recording paper P and notifies the operator. I tried to do it. As a result, it is possible to notify the operator of a transmission destination where the broadcast transmission is not performed after the completion of the broadcast transmission.

In addition, you may change embodiment of this invention as follows.
In the above-described embodiment, in S130 and S170, the direct destination that is not matched in S80 and S140 is deleted from the dial memory 30a so that broadcast transmission cannot be performed. Instead of deleting from the dial memory 30a, a flag indicating that broadcast transmission is not performed is given (that is, processing is disabled), and when performing broadcast transmission, the direct destination to which the flag is added May be configured such that broadcast transmission is not performed, and a direct destination without the flag is broadcast. In addition, the MPU 10 determines the direct destination determined to be coincident without adding a flag (that is, the direct destination is valid). Then, after completing the broadcast transmission, the MPU 10 may delete all the destinations stored in the dial memory 30a. Even if it does in this way, there exists an effect similar to the said embodiment.

  In the above embodiment, the transmission destination is registered in the telephone book table 150 as the transmission destination storage unit corresponding to both the speed key 62 and the one-touch key 63 as speed dial keys. The transmission destination may be registered corresponding to the above.

  ○ In the above-mentioned embodiment, it is embodied in a facsimile machine that can perform network scanning, but it can also be applied to a multifunction device equipped with a telephone, a facsimile, and a copy function, and a transmission destination is designated by using a numeric keypad, a one-touch key, or a speed dial key. The present invention may be embodied in a communication terminal device having a dial function that can be transmitted and a broadcast transmission function that can specify transmission to a plurality of destinations.

  In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the broadcast transmission mode is selected by the mode setting key 61 when performing the broadcast transmission. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and program settings may be made. In this case, even if it is not set to the broadcast transmission mode, a method of having a means for discriminating from the broadcast transmission mode can be adopted as long as a plurality of destinations are designated before the predetermined time elapses.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the MPU 10 displays the identification symbol so that the position of the mismatched digit is indicated by “#”, but the location of the mismatched digit is indicated by the cursor. Or, blinking display control may be performed.

  In the embodiment described above, the recording unit 50 records the transmission destination on which the broadcast transmission is not performed on the recording paper P after the completion of the broadcast transmission and notifies the operator. Instead of this, the MPU 10 may control the recording destination 50 to record the transmission destination on which the broadcast transmission is not performed on the recording paper P and notify the operator when performing the broadcast transmission. This makes it possible to notify the operator of transmission destinations for which broadcast transmission is not performed during broadcast transmission.

  In addition, a recording output key (not shown) that is a key image may be provided on the touch panel 67 as a notification request unit operable by an operator. Based on the operation of the recording output key, the MPU 10 controls the recording unit 50 as the second notification means to record the transmission destination on which the broadcast transmission is not performed on the recording paper P and notify the operator. May be. In this way, based on the notification request from the touch panel 67, it is possible to notify the operator of a transmission destination where broadcast transmission is not performed. Note that the notification requesting unit is not limited to the touch panel 67, and may be configured by a function key other than the touch panel 67.

  In the above-described embodiment, the character key 68 is provided as a destination input key so that an e-mail address can be input so that Internet facsimile communication is possible. However, the character key 68 is omitted, and the character key 68 is similar to the numeric keypad of the mobile phone. The key function may also be used.
