BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a device configuration of a communication system to which a facsimile apparatus (communication terminal apparatus) according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. In FIG. 1, when receiving a fax or telephone call from a transmission source 13 to a user having a facsimile apparatus 11 via an exchange 12, transferring received information to a transfer destination 14 via the exchange 12, It is assumed that the transfer setting is changed for the facsimile apparatus 11 through the exchange 12 from.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 2, the facsimile apparatus 11 includes an NCU 1, a modem 2, an image memory 3, a RAM 4, a ROM 5, a main control unit (CPU) 6, a display unit 7, an operation unit 8, A recording unit 10;
[0011]
The NCU 1 has a function of controlling connection with the telephone line 21 and detecting transmission and reception of a telephone number (= corresponding dial signal) of the other party. The modem 2 conforms to ITU-T Recommendation T.30. 30 based on a facsimile transmission control procedure according to V.30. 17, V.I. Modulation and demodulation of transmission / reception data according to 27ter, V29 and the like are performed. The modem 2 also has a V23 function for receiving the number display information. The image memory 3 temporarily stores received image data and image data read by the reading unit 9. The RAM 4 temporarily stores various information on the facsimile machine. The ROM 5 stores a program for controlling the entire apparatus. The main control section 6 is constituted by a CPU, and controls each section constituting the apparatus according to a program stored in the ROM 5. The display unit 7 displays various information such as the operation state of the device. The operation unit 8 includes ten keys, one-touch keys, a start key, and other keys. The reading unit 9 reads image data on a document and outputs black and white binary image data. The recording unit 10 is composed of an electrophotographic printer, and records received image data and image data of a document read by the reading unit 9 on recording paper in a copying operation.
[0012]
However, the hardware configuration of the facsimile apparatus 11 of the embodiment shown here is not particularly novel, and each circuit configuration itself is already well known. A new feature of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment resides in a function achieved by processing executed by the main control unit 6 using a system program stored in the ROM 5.
[0013]
The RAM 4 includes a telephone transfer table shown in FIG. 3A and a fax transfer table shown in FIG. 3B. The telephone transfer table stores the transfer time zone, the numbers of the transfer destination 1, the transfer destination 2 and the transfer destination 3, and the permission flag of each transfer destination. The facsimile transfer table also stores a transfer time zone, numbers of the transfer destination 1, the transfer destination 2 and the transfer destination 3, and a permission flag of each transfer destination.
[0014]
Next, the features and processing operations of the processing functions of the communication terminal device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
[0015]
At the start of the operation, first, in step ST1, it is determined whether or not there is a CAR signal (information receiving terminal activation signal). If there is no CAR signal, it waits until it becomes present. On the other hand, if there is a CAR signal, the process proceeds to step ST2. In step ST2, source information is detected. Then, the process proceeds to step ST3.
[0016]
In step ST3, whether or not the caller is a pre-registered number is compared with the received caller information and the transfer destination numbers in the telephone transfer table and the fax transfer table, and the caller is registered in advance. It is determined whether or not. If the number is registered in advance, the process proceeds to step ST4. On the other hand, if the number is not a previously registered number, the process proceeds to step ST11.
[0017]
In step ST4, it is determined what the setting method is. Here, the setting method is a method of externally setting the transfer destination, which is either the number of incoming calls or the number of rings. The number of incoming calls is set based on the number of incoming calls in one minute, and the number of bells is set based on how many times the bell rings. If the setting method is the bell number method, the process proceeds to step ST5. On the other hand, if the setting method is the number of incoming calls, the process proceeds to step ST12.
[0018]
In step ST5, a call bell signal is detected. Then, the process proceeds to step ST6. In step ST6, it is determined whether or not the number of calling bells is one. If the number of calling bells is one, the process proceeds to step ST8. On the other hand, if the number of bells is not one, the process proceeds to step ST7. In step ST8, the number of the caller is designated and input as the transfer destination, and if the current time is not in the transfer time zone, a transfer permission flag is set to allow the transfer, and the processing operation ends.
[0019]
In step ST7, it is determined whether the number of calling bells is two or three. Here, the sound is not sounded more than four times. If the number of bells is two, the process proceeds to step ST9. On the other hand, if the number of bells is three, the process proceeds to step ST13. In step ST9, it is determined whether or not the transmission source is the currently selected transfer destination. If it is the currently selected transfer destination, the process proceeds to step ST10. If the transfer destination is not currently selected, the process proceeds to step ST14.
[0020]
In step ST10, the transfer to the currently set transfer destination is stopped. That is, the permission flag of the transfer destination corresponding to the transmission source is turned off. Then, the processing operation ends. In step ST14, the caller number is excluded from the transfer destinations for today's transfer time zone. Also in this case, the permission flag of the transfer destination corresponding to the transmission source is turned off. Then, the processing operation ends. The routine of steps ST4 to ST14 shows a process of changing the transfer setting based on the difference in the number of calling bells.
[0021]
In step ST13, the line is closed, and the process proceeds to step ST15. In step ST15, it is determined whether or not CNG (non-voice terminal signal) is detected. In the case of CNG detection, the process proceeds to step ST16. If there is no CNG detection, the process proceeds to step ST23.
[0022]
In step ST16, the transmitted image is received and stored in the image memory 3. Then, the process proceeds to step ST17. In step ST17, the line is disconnected. Then, the process proceeds to step ST18. In step ST18, it is determined whether or not it is in the fax transfer time zone. If it is a fax transfer time zone, the process proceeds to step ST19. On the other hand, if it is not the fax transfer time zone, the process proceeds to step ST22.
[0023]
In step ST19, it is determined with reference to the facsimile transfer table whether there is a permitted transfer destination. If there is a permitted transfer destination, the process proceeds to step ST20. However, if there is no permitted transfer destination, the process proceeds to step ST22. In step ST20, the authorized transfer destination is dialed. Then, the process proceeds to step ST21. In step ST21, the received image stored in the image memory 3 is transmitted. Thus, the process ends. In step ST22, since it is neither the transfer time zone nor the permitted transfer destination, only the received image is printed, and the process is terminated. The routines of steps ST15 to ST22 show a fax reception process and a transfer process thereof.
[0024]
In step ST23, it is determined whether or not it is in the telephone transfer time zone. If it is not the telephone transfer time zone, the process proceeds to step ST24. On the other hand, if it is the telephone transfer time zone, the process proceeds to step ST25. In step ST24, the call is performed, the transfer is not performed, and the process ends.
[0025]
In step ST25, it is determined whether or not the transfer is permitted. If it is the transfer destination, the process proceeds to step ST26. If there is no permitted transfer destination, the process proceeds to step ST32. In step ST26, a transfer destination that can be transferred is selected from the transfer destination 1. Then, the process proceeds to step ST27. In step ST27, the line is hooked, and the process proceeds to step ST28. In step ST28, the transfer destination number is dialed, and the process proceeds to step ST29.
[0026]
In step ST29, it is determined whether or not the other party (transfer destination) has responded. In the case of the other party response, the process proceeds to step ST30. If there is no other party response, the process proceeds to step ST31. In step ST30, the line is released. That is, the process ends when the transfer is completed.
[0027]
In step ST31, it is determined whether the number is a number that can be transferred without being dialed. If there are more transferable numbers, the process returns to step ST28. If there is no transferable number, the process proceeds to step ST32. In step ST28, the retransmission destination number is dialed. In step ST32, the line is released, and the process ends. The routines of step ST15 and steps ST23 to ST32 show a telephone reception process and a transfer process.
[0028]
In step ST12, it is determined whether or not the previous incoming call from the same partner is within one minute. If not within one minute, the process proceeds to step ST8. If it is within one minute, the process proceeds to step ST9. In step ST8, the number of the caller is specified as the transfer destination, and if the transfer time period is reached, the transfer is permitted and a flag is set. In step ST9, it is determined whether or not the transmission source is the currently selected transfer destination. In the case of the selected transfer destination, the process proceeds to step ST10. On the other hand, if the destination is not selected, the process proceeds to step ST14. In step ST10, the transfer to the currently set transfer destination is stopped, and the process ends. In step ST14, the caller number is excluded from the transfer destinations for today's transfer time zone. The routines of steps ST4, ST12, ST8 to ST10, and ST14 show processing for changing the transfer setting depending on the difference in the number of incoming calls.
