Description

  The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus capable of restricting facsimile transmission according to a facsimile number designated as a transmission destination.

  A plurality of 1xy special numbers such as 110 and 108 using a telephone line are used. For example, No. 110 is a police notification telephone, and No. 108 is an automatic collect call number. These outgoing calls using the 1xy system special number are basically based on the premise of a voice call, and there is no necessity for facsimile transmission in the first place.

  However, for a 1xy special number, it is possible to perform a call operation and line capture for transmission from an ordinary facsimile machine. Such an action not only has no transmission significance but also wastes telephone line resources.

  As a consideration for the hearing impaired, there is a 1xy special number that allows facsimile transmission. 119 (firefighting / hospital connection), etc. that can accept facsimiles addressed to 119 by local governments, 110/118 (Japan Coast Guard connection) etc. are provided with a different facsimile number There are things.

  In addition, there are other 1xy special numbers (for example, 104: telephone number guidance, 106: collect call, 114 busy investigation, 117: hourly report, 177: weather forecast, etc.) where facsimile transmission itself does not make sense. If facsimile transmission is performed to such a destination, not only is there no meaning, but a telephone line is wasted.

  In response to such a problem, in Patent Document 1, a telephone number of a specific destination is registered as a means for avoiding a call to a specific destination of a facsimile, and the number is compared with the transmission number at the time of transmission. In this case, means for avoiding facsimile transmission has been proposed.

JP 2006-50448 A

  The invention of Patent Document 1 regulates dialing itself to a telephone number of a specific destination as a transmission avoiding means. However, if the dial itself is restricted in this way, it is not possible to make a call using a facsimile machine to make a call to a 1xy special number such as 110 (report to the police) or 117 (hourly report). .

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can perform flexible outgoing call restriction according to the situation when making a call from a facsimile machine to a 1xy special number.

  1xy special number starting from 1, 1xy special number storage means for storing facsimile transmission restriction information corresponding to the 1xy special number, facsimile accepting means for accepting a facsimile transmission request, and determination of the accepted facsimile transmission type When the transmission type of the facsimile to be transmitted is determined to be memory transmission by the first determination unit and the first determination unit, it is determined whether or not the transmission destination number is a 1xy system special number. When the second determination means and the second determination means determine that the transmission destination number is not a 1xy system special number, dialing is made to the transmission destination number, while the transmission destination number is 1xy system If it is determined to be a special number, the destination number is determined according to the facsimile transmission restriction information stored in the 1xy special number storage means. It has a transmission limit means for performing a dial lock, the.

According to the present invention, it is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile machine capable of performing flexible outgoing call restriction according to the situation when making a call from a facsimile machine to a 1xy special number.

When facsimile transmission is selected by the operation, the set original is read by the scanner unit 300, and the telephone number input by the telephone number input receiving unit 105 or the telephone number stored in the address book is received.

  The call device 110 performs a call operation to the public line 150 to the received telephone number. When a call path with the other party's call device 120 and the facsimile device 130 is established, the facsimile device 100 transmits the read original to the other party. This is called direct transmission (manual transmission). In this system, it is impossible to determine whether the communication is facsimile communication or normal communication until a path is established.

  On the other hand, the data read by the scanner unit 300 or stored in a storage device such as a PC can be transmitted in memory, and the user can perform facsimile transmission in this case. can do.

The transmission permission / inhibition determination unit 106 determines whether or not facsimile transmission can be performed to a 1xy phone number stored in the 1xy phone number storage unit 107. Details will be described later. The message notification unit 107 transmits the transmission determination result to the user. The output unit 108 performs received facsimile, printing, copying, and the like.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the 1xy special number dial list in the embodiment of the present invention.

  It is stored in the 1xy system telephone number storage unit 107 in FIG. 1 and is registered in advance by the system administrator. This is used for restricting outgoing calls such as whether dialing is permitted or not permitted for a registered 1xy system special number or whether it is permitted with a condition.

  A number dialed from a subscriber to a special service is called a subscriber special number. In addition, there are special numbers for telephone company replacements and maintenance personnel. These special numbers are given to those which are desired to be unified nationwide, and are usually used as 3-digit numbers in 1xy format.

  A special telephone number is registered in the 1xy system special number 301. The description 302 describes the 1xy special number. In the type 303, a type classified by the type of 1xy special number is set. Here, type A to type C are set, but the number of types is not limited to this.

  The display message 304 is a display message to be presented to the user when it is determined that the transmission is restricted according to the state when the corresponding 1xy system special number is transmitted. In the transmission possible number 304, another number dedicated to facsimile is set to the dialed 1xy special number. This may be provided as part of the service by, for example, local governments or public offices, and is not set for all 1xy special numbers.

  For example, even if a facsimile is sent to 110, which is a report to the police, the destination (police) number cannot receive the facsimile, but a separate facsimile number is prepared so that the facsimile can be reported. .

  In emergency / fire-fighting, 119 may be used for facsimile transmission as it is, and in this case, a 1xy special number is written in the transmittable number 305. For local governments that cannot use 119 as it is, a facsimile notification number is separately described as an alternative number.

  Type A 311 includes F network, which is a facsimile communication network service, and a number for setting a caller number notification such as whether or not to notify the caller number by prefixing a telephone number. It is a group of the type that may be given and sent by facsimile.

  Type B312 can be used for facsimile transmission with the same number as in emergency or fire fighting, or another facsimile number may be prepared as in the case of the police or Japan Coast Guard. ”Type group.

Type C313 is a telephone number such as a number used for service or a time signal, and is a group of “useless facsimile transmission” (useless transmission type).
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a 1xy special number dial number determination process at the time of facsimile transmission of the facsimile apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  5 is a flowchart showing dial number determination of the facsimile machine 100, and steps S401 to S407 indicate processing steps. 4 is realized by the CPU 301 of the facsimile 100 executing an execution program stored in the ROM 303 using the RAM 302. It is started when the user performs facsimile transmission.

  First, in step S401, the facsimile apparatus 100 receives an input of a facsimile transmission number from the user via the operation unit 104 or the like. The facsimile transmission number can also be selected from a stored address book, a telephone number storage unit, or the like.

  The facsimile apparatus 100 that has received the input of the facsimile transmission number determines the facsimile transmission type in step S401. The transmission types to be determined are roughly divided into two types, and one of the following is determined.

The first is facsimile transmission (hereinafter referred to as memory transmission) in which data conversion is completed by scanning a document with the scanner unit 300 and waits for a dial operation. The second is a document that is scanned with the scanner unit 300. Data transmission by scanning is not yet completed, and after dialing, data transmission is performed by facsimile transmission (hereinafter referred to as direct transmission).
Note that the memory transmission includes facsimile transmission of electronic data created in advance by a personal computer or the like.

  In step S401, if the facsimile transmission type is memory transmission, the process proceeds to step S402 to determine whether or not the input facsimile number is a three-digit number starting from 1 (or starting from this three-digit number). . On the other hand, if it is direct transmission, the process proceeds to step S404, dial transmission is started, and the process is terminated. The reason why dial transmission is permitted here is that, in the case of direct transmission, since transmission processing is performed after connecting to the other party, it may be used as a telephone instead of facsimile transmission, and the transmission cannot be restricted.

  If it is determined in step S402 that the entered facsimile number is other than the 1xy special number, the process proceeds to step S404, dial transmission is started, and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is a 1xy special number, the process proceeds to step S403.

In step S403, with reference to the 1xy special number list (FIG. 3), it is determined whether the number is of a certain type (type A in the embodiment) when the input number is added to the head and the facsimile is transmitted. As a result of the determination, if the number is a type A number, this number may be assigned and facsimile transmission may be performed. Therefore, in order to start transmission without performing dial restriction, the process proceeds to step S404 and dial transmission is started.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S403 that the input number is not added to the head, the process proceeds to step S405.

  In step S405, it is determined whether the number is of a type (type B in the embodiment) that can be transmitted to the transmission destination corresponding to the input number. As a result of the determination, if it is type B, the process proceeds to step S408, and type B outgoing restriction processing is performed. Details will be described with reference to FIGS.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S405 that there is no case where transmission is possible, that is, if the number is of a type (type C in the embodiment) that is meaningless (not desired to be transmitted), the process proceeds to step S406 and a message is displayed. . An example message is shown in FIG.
FIG. 7 is a facsimile transmission suppression screen of the facsimile machine 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The message screen 701 is provided with a message display field 702. The message content is output according to the situation determined by the facsimile apparatus. When the OK button 703 is pressed, the message is deleted.

  For example, in the message displayed in step S406 of FIG. 4, a message “facsimile transmission to the dialed number cannot be executed” is displayed. Thereafter, the operation is terminated without executing dialing to the entered facsimile number.

In this flowchart, the input facsimile number is determined for each type, but it may be determined by a number registered in the 1xy special number list. In that case, the numbers may be grouped and registered, or a determination criterion may be registered for each number.
In addition, when displaying the message described below the drawing, the corresponding message is displayed in the message display field 702.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the outgoing call restriction process of the facsimile machine type B in the embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S501, the user mode setting is determined. The user mode is a mode that is set in advance by the user, and sets what behavior is to be performed when the 1xy special number accepted for input can be transmitted by facsimile. Settings are made on the user mode installation screen shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a user mode selection setting screen of the facsimile apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows an example of the user mode selection setting screen of the facsimile apparatus in this invention embodiment.

It is set in advance by the user or administrator. This is used for the determination in step S501 in FIG. 5, and specifies an operation when a conversion number is set for the input facsimile number.
On the user mode setting screen 900, “send message” 901 and “forward to dial for facsimile transmission” 902 can be selected.

  When “send message” 901 is selected, a message is displayed to notify the user of the transmission possible number (305 in FIG. 3) corresponding to the 1xy special number input to the user and to redo the call.

  When “Forward to facsimile transmission dial” 902 is selected, the facsimile apparatus changes the destination to the transmission possible number (305 in FIG. 3) corresponding to the 1xy special number input to the user and transmits the transmission. Done. According to this, the user performs facsimile transmission to the set transmission possible number without dialing again.

  Returning to the description of FIG. In step S501, if the user mode is "transfer to dial for facsimile transmission only", the process proceeds to step S509, the transfer process described in FIG. 6 is executed, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if “message is output”, the process proceeds to step S502, a record corresponding to the number is acquired from the 1xy special number list, and it is determined in step S503 whether transmission is possible as it is.

  “Transmitted as it is” means that the input 1xy special number and the transmittable number are the same. For example, in FIG. 3, 119 corresponds to this. 119 can perform facsimile transmission. When transmission is not possible as it is, the input 1xy special number is different from the transmittable number.

  If it is determined in step S503 that transmission is possible, the process proceeds to step S504, and message 2 and message 4 are displayed. The content of the message varies depending on the input 1xy special number. The message shown here is an example, and the message is not limited to this. The message is displayed in the message display field 702 in FIG.

  In step S507, after obtaining the user's consent on the display screen, the facsimile transmission is stopped and the process is terminated. If the user's consent is not obtained, if there is no input for a predetermined time by a timer, etc., it may be considered that the approval has been received, and if the predetermined time has passed even if the approval has not been obtained, transmission will be stopped You may make it do.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S503 that transmission is not possible, the process proceeds to step S505 and message 3 is displayed. Message 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a transmission selection screen of the facsimile apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The transmission selection screen 801 is a screen that allows the user to select an operation related to dialing. A message display field 802 is provided, and a message indicating whether or not to send a facsimile under the displayed conditions is displayed in the message.
In addition, when displaying the message described in the lower part of the drawing, the corresponding message is displayed in the message display field 802.

When the transmission button 803 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S508, and facsimile transmission is performed for the input number, that is, “facsimile number: 119” displayed in the figure. When the cancel button 804 is pressed, the process advances to step s507 to stop facsimile transmission.
The transfer process in step S509 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of transfer processing of the facsimile apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.
First, in step S601, a transmittable number corresponding to each number is acquired from the 1xy special number list and converted to a dial number.

  In step S602, a specified value for the number of facsimile transmissions is determined. Note that this specified value can be arbitrarily set for each mounted device. This can prevent more than the necessary number of facsimile transmissions (for example, mischief).

  If the number of facsimile transmissions is less than the specified value in step S602, the number of facsimile transmissions is counted in step S603, and facsimile transmission is performed in step S604.

  If the number of facsimile transmissions is greater than or equal to the specified value in step S602, it is regarded as a malicious facsimile, the message screen shown in FIG. 7 is output in step S605, the count of emergency notification facsimile transmissions is reset to 0 in step S606, and step S607 is performed. To stop sending faxes.

Note that the function of counting the number of facsimile transmissions and using the specified value to limit can be omitted. In that case, the number is converted in step S601, the facsimile is transmitted in step S604, and the process ends.
As a result, a facsimile number that can be converted into a different number without changing the meaning of transmission can be changed and transmitted.
