Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus capable of detecting a plurality of pattern signals sent from an exchange.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a facsimile apparatus capable of detecting a plurality of pattern signals sent from an exchange, for example, DRPD used in the United States has been used.

This changes the pattern of the calling signal according to the telephone number dialed by the calling side. For example, if a telephone call is desired, 0221-3366-990 is dialed, and if a facsimile communication is desired, 0221-3366- is used.
Dial 991.

When the exchange detects 0221-3366-990, it outputs a ringing signal A to the called side, and 0221-
When 3366-991 is detected, the calling signal B is output to the called side.

On the other hand, when the facsimile apparatus detects the calling signal A, it rings the bell of the telephone to enable a call off-hook, and when it detects the calling signal B, it receives the facsimile.

[0006]

However, in the conventional facsimile apparatus, the ringing signal A can be obtained only by performing the above control.
If the scheduled operation is not performed, such as when communication is performed off-hook after detecting the call, or when the operator answers the call after detecting the ringing signal B, the operator is notified of nothing in particular. Didn't.

Although there is a switch for enabling or disabling the detection of a plurality of pattern signals from the exchange, when the switch is effective, the control as described above is executed to detect only one pattern signal from the exchange. However, nothing is notified to the operator, and when the above switch is invalid, even if a plurality of pattern signals from the exchange are detected, they are regarded as one pattern signal and controlled. For this reason, there is a drawback in that the response to the plurality of pattern signals from the exchange is not accurately performed.

The present invention is responsive to signals sent from a switch.
A fax machine that can perform the same incoming call operation
In addition, it is intended to improve the usability of the user.

In S78, the signal line 48g is displayed. The signal of the signal level "0" is output, and the display circuit 56 indicating that the network service is not provided is set not to be displayed. Further, in S80, the signal of the signal level "0" is output to the signal line 48j, and the display circuit 62 for confirming the network service is set to the non-display state.

Further, in S82, the network service selection circuit 64 is set to DRPD, and in S84, the signal "0" is output to the signal line 48c, and the switching circuit 12 connects the signal lines 8a and 8b to the signal line 6a. Set to connect to 6b.

Next, in S86, the signal of the signal level "0" is output to the signal line 48a to turn off the CML, and in S88, there is any key input from the operation unit 46, that is, whether or not the operator responds. To judge. Then, when the operator responds, the process proceeds to S90,
A signal having a signal level “0” is output to the signal line 48j so that the display circuit 62 for confirming the network service is set not to be displayed, and the process proceeds to S92. If the operator has not responded, the process directly proceeds to S92.

In S92, the information of the signal line 46a is input, and it is determined whether or not the registration of the incoming call operation corresponding to the DRPD pattern is selected. If it is selected, the process proceeds to S94.

If registered, the process proceeds to S102, in which the registration circuit is registered. The registered incoming call operation is performed corresponding to the calling signal pattern registered in 42, and if the detected calling signal pattern is not registered in the registration circuit 42, the process proceeds to S116.

In S104, it is judged whether or not an operation other than the incoming call operation registered in the registration circuit 42 is selected corresponding to the pattern of the calling signal. If it is selected, the process proceeds to S108, Control based on the selected incoming call operation is performed, and if not selected, the process proceeds to S106.

In S106, it is determined whether or not the incoming call operation corresponding to the pattern of the calling signal is completed. If completed, the process proceeds to S84, and if not completed, the process proceeds to S102.

In S110, it is determined whether or not the operation selected in S108 is completed. If completed, the process proceeds to S112. If not completed, the process proceeds to S108.

At S112, an operation other than the incoming call operation registered in the registration circuit 42 is selected in accordance with the pattern of the calling signal, so the display circuit 62 for confirming the confirmation of the network service (DRPD service) is displayed. , Inform the operator.

Next, in S114, an alarm is generated for 30 seconds to notify the operator. Here, when the key input, that is, the operator responds, the alarm sound is stopped,
Proceed to S84.

Further, in S116, the incoming operation according to the display of the incoming mode display circuit 40 is executed.

Also, the information of the pattern of the calling signal for the past 30 times is cleared, and this routine will not be executed until the incoming operation of 30 times is performed at the earliest.

In S184, it is determined whether or not there are different calling signal patterns in the past 30 times. If there is a different calling signal pattern, the process proceeds to S186, and if there is no different calling signal pattern, the process proceeds to S188. Here, even if the patterns of the calling signals for the past 30 times are not complete, it is sufficient that different calling signals have patterns.

In S186, the signal of the signal level "0" is output to the signal line 48d to designate the DRPD service,
The signal of the signal level "1" is output to the signal line 48e, the network service (DRPD service) is not selected for the circuit 54, but a plurality of DRPD signals are detected and the network service is used for the circuit 54.
