DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a function of transmitting and receiving an image signal and a function of copying an inserted document.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when an image signal is transmitted by a facsimile apparatus of this kind, a document is first inserted, a dial number addressed to a partner facsimile apparatus is pressed, and then a communication button is pressed. Then, the line is automatically captured, and the depressed dial number is sent out as a dial signal to the captured line to call the other device. Then, when the partner device responds, the image information is read from the document and transmitted as an image signal.

When a copy button is pressed after a document is inserted, image information is read from the inserted document and copied to recording paper. Also, when an incoming call arrives at a facsimile machine for which the automatic reception mode is set,
The apparatus automatically responds to the incoming call after a predetermined number of ringing tones, and subsequently receives an image signal transmitted from the partner apparatus and records it on recording paper. Also, when an incoming call arrives at the facsimile apparatus when the automatic reception mode is not set (ie, in the manual reception mode), the apparatus detects this and sounds a ring tone. When the operator notices the incoming call and goes off-hook, a response to the incoming call is made. In this case, a facsimile signal (CN
When the operator presses the receive button by listening to the (G signal), the image signal from the partner device is received and recorded on the recording paper.

[0004]

In such a conventional facsimile apparatus, dedicated buttons are required to realize the functions of transmitting, receiving, and copying an image signal, and the facsimile apparatus is small and economical. There is a disadvantage that it cannot be configured. Also, if the number of buttons to be operated becomes large, an unskilled user may be confused as to which button to operate in which case, which is not convenient. In particular, when receiving facsimile information manually, if an incoming call is answered off-hook and a CNG signal indicating that the other device is a facsimile device is heard, the inexperienced operator immediately goes on-hook to set up the capture line. In some cases, the facsimile information is retransmitted to the partner device, which causes a problem.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when functions such as reception, transmission, and copying of image information are realized in a facsimile apparatus, a dedicated button is omitted to make the apparatus compact and economical, and to improve operability. The purpose is to let them.

You. As a result, image information can be transmitted simply by inserting a document into the apparatus and, for example, the telephone connected to the apparatus performing an off-hook and dial operation. Is simplified. Also,
The receiving state is set according to each non-detection output of the document detection means, the detection output of the line capture detection means, and the non-detection output after the detection output. As a result, if the off-hook and on-hook operations are performed while the telephone connected to the apparatus is in the on-hook state and no original is inserted in the apparatus, the reception state is automatically set and the image signal can be received. Therefore, a dedicated reception button is not required at the time of facsimile reception, and the reception operation is simplified. Further, when the presence of a document is detected by the document detection means, the image information of the document is recorded on the recording paper in accordance with the non-detection output of the line capture detection means. As a result, when the telephone connected to the apparatus is in an on-hook state and an original is inserted into the apparatus, the image information of the original is copied, so that a dedicated button is not required at the time of copying. When the presence of a document is detected by the document detection means and the line capture state is detected by the line capture detection means, an image signal is transmitted, and the non-detection output of the document detection means and the presence detection output of the line capture detection means are output. The reception state is set by the non-detection output after the presence detection output, and the image information of the document is copied to the recording paper in accordance with the presence detection output of the document detection means and the non-detection output of the line capture detection means. As a result, the dedicated buttons can be omitted during image signal transmission / reception and copying, and each operation is simplified to improve operability. Further, after the dial signal of the line is detected by the dial signal detecting means, the end of dial signal transmission is detected by the dial end detecting means, and an image signal is transmitted in accordance with the detection output. As a result, the image signal is transmitted after the completion of the transmission of the dial signal is reliably checked, so that the image signal can be reliably communicated to the partner device. The receiving state is set in the apparatus for a certain period of time in accordance with the detected output of the line capture detecting means and the non-detected output after the detected output, and the detected output of the line capture detecting means is monitored. As a result, it is possible to immediately cope with a case where this telephone immediately recalls after the telephone is abandoned. After the incoming state of the line is detected, the apparatus shifts to the receiving state according to the detected output of the line capture detecting means and the non-detected output after the detected output. As a result, the device can be reliably shifted to the reception state. If the CNG signal is not detected after shifting to the reception state, the reception state is released. As a result, if the other device is not a facsimile device when responding to the incoming call, the receiving state is immediately released, and the useless use of the line for a certain time is avoided. In addition, if the reversal signal is detected after shifting to the reception state, the reception state is released. As a result, the receiving state can be immediately released after the calling side abandons the call, so that the line use efficiency can be improved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. The facsimile apparatus accommodates a line L such as a telephone line and is connected to a telephone 3. In FIG. 1, the facsimile machine 1 is configured as follows. That is, 11 is an incoming call detection circuit for detecting an incoming signal arriving on the line L, 12 is a relay for switching the line L to the facsimile machine 1 side or the telephone 3 side, and 13 is a current flowing to the telephone 3 via a relay 14 contact.

(Hereinafter, a loop detection circuit) 16 is a reversal detection circuit for detecting reversal of the line L.

A modem 17 transmits and receives a facsimile signal via the transformer T1 and receives a PB dial signal transmitted from the telephone 3 via the transformer T2 and the capacitor C. A modem 18 controls the entire apparatus 1. A CPU 19 is a setting switch for setting an automatic reception mode for the apparatus 1. A reference numeral 20 is a document detection sensor for detecting whether a document is set. Reference numeral 21 denotes a thermal head that records image information on recording paper (not shown), 22 denotes a gate array, 23 denotes an image sensor that reads image information from a document, and 24 denotes a CPU that processes image information read by the image sensor 22 and processes the image information. Image processing LSI to be transmitted to

The facsimile apparatus thus configured can realize a facsimile communication function of communicating facsimile information without using a special function button and a copy function of copying image information of a document. That is,
When the presence of a document is detected by the document detection sensor 20 and the telephone 3 is in the on-hook state via the loop detection circuit 15 at this time, the CPU 18 reads the image by the image sensor 23 and processes the image by the image processing LSI 24. The image information of the document is transmitted to the thermal head 21 via the gate array 22 and recorded on the recording paper.

When the presence of a document is detected by the document detection sensor 20 and the telephone 3 is detected to be in an off-hook state via the loop detection circuit 15 at this time, the CP
U18 is followed by the loop detection circuit 15 or the modem 1
7, a DP dial signal or a PB dial signal operated by the telephone 3 is detected. When the end of the transmission of the dial signal is detected, the relay 12 is driven to switch its contact to the modem 17 side, and at the same time, the contact of the relay 14 is closed to connect the current supply circuit 13 and the telephone 3. And an image processing LSI read by the image sensor 23
The image information of the document processed at 24 is transmitted to the line L via the modem 17 and the transformer T1.

When an incoming call from the line L is detected via the incoming call detecting circuit 11, the CPU 18 detects the off-hook of the telephone 3 via the loop detecting circuit 15, and further detects the on-hook of the telephone 3 thereafter. Then, the contact of the relay 12 is switched to the b side to shift to the facsimile reception mode. When the automatic reception mode is set by the setting switch 19, when the incoming call of the line L is detected and the number of ringing thereof reaches a predetermined number, the contact of the relay 12 is set to b.
To the automatic reception mode. With this configuration, each function button can be omitted when each of the above-described functions is realized, so that the device can be configured compactly and economically and operability can be improved.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the CPU 18 of the above embodiment. The operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on this flowchart.
First, when the presence of a document is detected via the document detection sensor 20 and the determination in step ST1 becomes "Y", the CPU 18 determines via the loop detection circuit 15 whether or not the loop based on the off-hook of the telephone is closed in step ST2. If the loop is determined to be "Y" here, the process proceeds to step ST3. Next, in the processing after step ST3, a dial signal based on the operation of the telephone 3 is detected. In this case, in step ST3, first, a timer for a time until the dial transmission is securely terminated is started. Then, a dial signal operated by the telephone 3 is detected via the loop detection circuit 15 or the modem 17, and the detected number of digits of the dial becomes a predetermined number, and the end of the dial in step ST4 is "Y", or When the timeout of step ST5 becomes "Y", the contact of the relay 12 is switched to the b side, that is, the modem 17 side, and the contact of the relay 14 is closed in step ST6 to enter a facsimile transmission mode.

The CPU 18 detects a CED signal indicating automatic line switching from the receiving device via the modem 17, reads image information of the original by the image sensor 23 in step ST7, and performs image processing to perform image processing. Is transmitted to the line L via the. When the transmission of the image information of one page of the document is completed, the presence or absence of the next document is determined in step ST8. If there is no next document, the facsimile transmission is terminated.
Side, that is, the telephone 3 side, and at the same time, the contact of the relay 14 is opened, and the process proceeds to the standby state of step ST10.

When an off-hook of the telephone 3 is detected via the loop detecting circuit 15 when a document is inserted as described above, the dial signal transmitted from the telephone 3 is checked and the mode is shifted to the facsimile transmission mode. The operator can perform facsimile transmission simply by hooking off-hook, inserting the original, and dialing the other party's number, so that facsimile transmission can be performed with simple operations and the transmission button is not required, making the device compact. It can be constructed economically. Further, in the case of detecting the dial signal of the telephone 3 and shifting to the transmission mode, the end of the dial is checked according to the number of digits of the dial or the expiration of the timer of a predetermined time. Can be.

When a document is set on the apparatus 1, the off-hook of the telephone 3 is not detected and a step S
When the determination of T2 becomes "N", in step ST11, the above-described copying operation of reading the image information of the original and recording it on the recording paper is performed. When copying of one document is completed, it is determined in step ST12 whether or not the next document is present. If the result is "N", the process proceeds to a standby state in step ST10. By immediately shifting to the copy mode when a document is inserted in the on-hook state, the copy button can be omitted.

Next, if no document is set on the apparatus 1 and the result of the determination in step ST1 is "N", the mode is set to the facsimile reception mode. That is, in this case, the CPU 18 detects the state of the setting switch 19 in step ST13, and determines whether or not the automatic reception mode is set in the apparatus 1. Then, if the automatic reception mode is set, the arrival of an incoming call in step ST14 is determined. Here, if an incoming signal arriving at the line L via the incoming call detection circuit 11 is detected, the number of ringing of this incoming call is counted and, for example, 3
If the number of ringing times is counted and “count up” in step ST15 is determined to be “Y”, step ST15 is executed.
At 16, the contact of the relay 12 is connected to the b side (that is, the modem 17 side).
To answer the incoming call, close the contact of the relay 14, and enter the facsimile reception mode.

When the CPU 18 receives a facsimile image signal transmitted from the partner device via the modem 17, the CPU 18 drives the thermal head 21 to record image information corresponding to the received image signal on recording paper. To step S
This is performed at T17. When reception of such a facsimile is completed for one page, in step ST18, it is determined whether or not there is image information of the next page. I do. When there is no more image information to be received, the end of facsimile reception means that the contact of the relay 12 is switched to the side a (that is, the telephone 3 side) in step ST19, and the contact of the relay 14 is opened to wait in step ST10. Move to.

When the automatic reception mode is not set and the answer is "N" in step ST13 (that is, in the case of the manual reception mode), the above-mentioned incoming call is confirmed in step ST20 and this is set to "Y". , Then step S
In T21, the off-hook of the telephone 3 is detected by the loop detection circuit 15.
The detection is determined via. When this becomes "Y", an incoming call response is made. In this case, an off-hook determination is further performed in step ST22. Here, the operator of the telephone 3 will continue talking if the partner device is a telephone, and the on-hook state will continue. If the other device is a facsimile device, the device is immediately hooked on, so that the determination in step ST22 is “N”.

In this case, the CPU 18 immediately proceeds to step S
At T23, the contact of the relay 12 is set to the b side (that is, the modem 17).
Side) and the contact of the relay 14 is closed to enter the facsimile reception mode. Then, in step ST24, a timer for a predetermined time is started. Next, the CPU 18
Is the on-hook detection of the telephone 3 in step ST25, the reception of the CNG signal in step ST27, and the step ST3.
In step 1, each determination of the above-mentioned timer timeout is sequentially performed.
If the off-hook of the telephone 3 is detected through the loop detection circuit 15 and the determination in step ST25 becomes "Y", the facsimile reception mode is canceled by re-transmitting the telephone 3, and the relay 12 is released in step ST26.
Is switched to the a side (that is, the telephone 3 side), and the contact of the relay 14 is opened to shift to the standby state of step ST10.

If the above-mentioned CNG signal indicating that the other device is a facsimile device is received via the modem 17 and the determination in step ST27 becomes "Y", the CPU
18 receives the facsimile image signal transmitted from the partner device via the modem 17, and performs the above-described receiving operation of recording on a recording sheet in step ST28. When such facsimile reception is completed for one page, step ST29 is performed.
Then, the presence / absence of the image information of the next page to be received is determined, and if there is the image information of the next page, the image information of the subsequent page is continuously received and recorded on the recording paper. When there is no more image information to be received, the contact of the relay 12 is set to a in step ST30.
Side (that is, the telephone 3 side) and the relay 14
Is opened, and the process shifts to the standby state of step ST10. During the operation of the above-mentioned timer, the timer times out because the off-hook of the telephone 3 or the CNG signal from the partner device cannot be received, and if the determination in step ST31 becomes "Y", facsimile reception is performed in steps ST28 and ST29. After that, each relay is switched to shift to the standby state of step ST10.

As described above, when the off-hook operation and the on-hook operation of the telephone 3 are detected while the original is not set on the apparatus and the apparatus is in the manual reception mode, the facsimile operation is performed for a fixed time (timer set in step ST24). In the receiving state, the CNG signal from the partner device is detected and the off-hook of the telephone 3 is detected during this period. If the on-hook of the telephone 3 is detected during this period, the contact of the relay 12 is immediately sent to the telephone 3. By switching, the reception state of the facsimile can be canceled. Therefore, in the case where the telephone immediately re-calls after the telephone 3 is abandoned, the transition of the apparatus to the reception state can be immediately canceled. Further, after the incoming state of the line L is detected, each operation of the off-hook and on-hook of the telephone 3 is detected and the apparatus shifts to the facsimile reception state, so that the apparatus can be reliably shifted to the facsimile reception state. it can.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second embodiment of the facsimile apparatus, showing an example of the operation of receiving a facsimile. 3, the same operations as those shown in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. That is, in FIG. 3, step ST24 in FIG.
Steps of "timer start" of step ST31 and "timeout" of step ST31 are omitted.
27 is obtained by adding “relay switching” of step ST33 after it is determined that “CNG reception” of No. 27 is “N”.

That is, after detecting each off-hook and on-hook operation of the telephone 3 in each of steps ST21 and ST22, each relay is switched in step ST23 to enter a facsimile reception state. If not received, the contact of the relay 12 is immediately switched to the a-side (that is, the telephone 3 side) in step ST33, and the contact of the relay 14 is opened to release the signal in step ST33.
It is configured to shift to the standby state of No. 10. As a result,
If the other device is not a facsimile device when responding to the incoming call, the facsimile reception state is immediately released, thereby avoiding wasteful use of the line for a certain period of time.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the third embodiment of the facsimile apparatus, showing an example of the operation of facsimile reception. 4, the same operations as those shown in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. That is, in FIG. 4, step ST31 of FIG.
After the "timeout" is determined to be "N", each step of "polarity inversion" in step ST32 and "relay switching" in step ST33 is added.

That is, after the off-hook and on-hook operations of the telephone 3 are detected in steps ST21 and ST22, the facsimile reception state is entered after "relay switching" in step ST23 and "timer start" in step ST24. Here, the CPU 18 determines in step ST
25, on-hook detection of the telephone 3, reception of a CNG signal in step ST27, timeout of the timer in step ST31, and reversal detection circuit 16 in step ST32.
Are sequentially performed, and at this time, the "polarity inversion" is detected first, and step ST32 is performed.
Is "Y", the CPU 18 proceeds to step ST3.
3 immediately changes the contact of the relay 12 to the a side (that is, the telephone 3
Side), the contacts of the relay 14 are opened, and the process proceeds to the standby state of step ST10. With this configuration, the reception state is released immediately after the call abandonment of the calling side is detected, and the state can be shifted to the standby state, so that the line use efficiency can be improved.

As a result, a dedicated transmission button can be omitted at the time of facsimile transmission, and the transmission operation is simplified. Also, the receiving state is set according to each non-detection output of the document detection means, the detection output of the line capture detection means, and the non-detection output after the detection output, so that the telephone connected to the apparatus can be used.
