Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus, and more particularly to a facsimile apparatus having a function of notifying a partner facsimile apparatus of telephone number information.

(Conventional example)

A conventional facsimile apparatus having a function of notifying the other party facsimile apparatus of the telephone number information has mainly notified the other party facsimile apparatus of the telephone number information by the following two methods.

The first method is a procedure signal based on the procedure of CCITT Recommendation T30 (called station identification (CSI) signal, calling station identification (CIG) signal,
This is a method of notifying the other party facsimile apparatus of telephone number information by a transmission station signal (TSI) signal).

The second method is a method in which the transmitting side informs the receiving side of the telephone number of the transmitting side, and adds telephone number information as transmission source information to a part of the transmission image.

However, in the conventional method, only one type of telephone number information is notified to the other party's facsimile machine. This one type of telephone number information is fixed regardless of the state of the facsimile machine.

For this reason, usually, the telephone number information of the connected facsimile machine is often notified to the partner facsimile machine. For example, a case in which the transmitting side informs the receiving side of the telephone number information to which the facsimile apparatus of the transmitting side is connected to the receiving side from the telephone number information of the transmission source information added to a part of the transmission image from the transmitting side to the receiving side. Think. In this case, the receiving operator may want to talk to the transmitting operator after reading the received information. The operator on the receiving side may dial the transmitting side after seeing the telephone number information of the source information added to a part of the image information, but the facsimile apparatus on the transmitting side is set to automatic reception. There was a drawback that a call could not be made. If the facsimile apparatus on the transmitting side is set to manual reception, the operator on the receiving side can talk with the operator on the transmitting side. However, in this case, when the transmitting facsimile apparatus performs the receiving operation, there is a drawback that the operator's intervention is necessary and the operator's hand is troubled,
There was a drawback that incoming operation could not be performed without an operator.

Next, consider a case where the telephone number information of a telephone located near the facsimile apparatus is notified. For example, when the transmitting side informs the receiving side of the telephone number information of the telephone near the facsimile apparatus of the transmitting side from the telephone number information of the transmission source information added to a part of the transmission image from the transmitting side to the receiving side. think of. In this case, the receiving-side operator sometimes wants to transmit the image information to the transmitting-side facsimile apparatus after reading the received information. The operator on the sending side may dial the sending side after seeing the telephone number information of the sender information added to a part of the image information, but dials the calling telephone near the facsimile machine. Therefore, there is a major drawback that facsimile transmission cannot be performed.

〔Purpose〕

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example and to notify a telephone number of a telephone to a facsimile apparatus of a partner.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the outline of the present invention will be described.
If your facsimile machine is set for manual reception, inform the other party facsimile machine of the telephone number to which the facsimile device is connected, and if your facsimile machine is set for automatic reception, The other party's facsimile device is notified of the telephone number for communication to which the facsimile device is connected and the telephone number for communication near the facsimile device.

Specifically, when the facsimile apparatus of the own machine is set to manual reception, the telephone number information of the connected facsimile apparatus is used as the telephone number information of the transmission source information added to a part of the transmission image. When the facsimile device is set to automatic incoming call, the telephone number information for the communication to which the facsimile device is connected is used as the telephone number information of the sender information added to a part of the transmission image And transmitting telephone number information for a telephone call located near the facsimile apparatus.

In a specific example, when the sending facsimile machine is set to automatic incoming, the receiving operator
This makes it possible to recognize the telephone number information for communication on the transmission side and the telephone number information for communication on the transmission side, and both communication and communication with the transmission side have become possible. When the sender's facsimile machine is set for manual reception, the phone number for the caller's call is the same as the phone number for the sender's communication, so the operator on the receiver's side is connected to the facsimile machine. If the telephone number information can be recognized, communication and communication with the transmitting side can be performed.
