Description

The present invention relates to a communication terminal apparatus, control method of the communication apparatus, and relates to a program.

  When the communication terminal device transmits an e-mail to a mail server, an upper limit value may be set for the number of destinations that can be specified as a transmission destination. In that case, before sending the e-mail, each e-mail must be divided into a plurality of e-mails so that the number of destinations does not exceed the upper limit value. In general, the communication terminal device is internally divided into a plurality of e-mails so that the number of individual destinations is equal to or less than the upper limit value so that the user does not need to be aware of restrictions on the mail server. On the other hand, in the communication terminal device, transmission results (normal end, abnormal end, cancel, etc.) are held for each job operated by the user as a transmission history, and these can be visually output as a communication management report (conventional) Technology 1). In addition, the following has been proposed as another conventional technique.

  In the apparatus described in Patent Document 1, in order to display a communication management report, one of a plurality of mail addresses is described as a representative address, and the number of addresses is added thereto.

  In the apparatus described in Patent Document 2, an image corresponding to unsent document information is attached to a communication management report and output.

In the device described in Patent Document 3, the transmission history is continuously managed regardless of whether it has been transmitted or not transmitted, and when the data corresponding to the history information is retransmitted without change, it is further added to the history. .

  However, in the prior art 1, even if it is divided into a plurality of outgoing mails internally due to mail server restrictions, the transmission history is combined into one because it is a series of operations when viewed from the user. .

  That is, if even one of a plurality of divided mails is not transmitted normally, all the destinations are registered in the transmission history information as if they were not transmitted normally. For example, when the upper limit of the number of transmission destinations of the mail server is 100, if the user designates 150 destinations, the number is divided into 100 and 50. Even if 100 of the first split mails were sent normally, if 50 of the second split mails were not sent normally due to some error, abnormal termination was performed for all destinations as shown in FIG. It will be like that. Although only some destinations were not transmitted normally, the user had to recognize that all destinations were not transmitted normally and had to retransmit to all destinations. On the recipient side, the recipient who has successfully sent receives the same e-mail. Further, in the case of an e-mail attached with large data such as image data, there is a possibility that the network traffic or the storage area on the receiving side will be exceeded.

  In addition, the apparatus described in Patent Document 1 cannot know whether transmission is possible for all destinations. In the device described in Patent Document 2, it is not considered to continuously manage the transmission history. Also, no consideration is given to the case where the mail is internally divided into a plurality of outgoing mails due to mail server restrictions. In the apparatus described in Patent Document 3, no consideration is given to the case where the mail is internally divided into a plurality of outgoing mails due to the restriction of the mail server.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems , and provides a communication terminal device, a communication terminal device management method, and a program capable of retransmitting mail for a destination whose transmission has not been performed normally The purpose is to do.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides a communication terminal device having a predetermined upper limit for the number of destinations that can be specified as destinations when sending an e-mail to a mail server. A dividing unit that divides the outgoing mail into a plurality of outgoing mails so as not to exceed the upper limit when the upper limit value is exceeded; a transmitting unit that sends the divided mails divided by the dividing unit; and the transmitting unit a holding means for holding in association with destinations that are included in the divided mail transmission result of the division mail by for each of the divided mail is a communication terminal apparatus characterized by having a.
Further, according to the present invention, in a communication terminal device that has a predetermined upper limit for the number of destinations that can be specified as destinations when sending an e-mail to a mail server, the number of destinations specified for outgoing mail exceeds the upper limit. dividing means for dividing into a plurality of outgoing mail the outgoing mail so as not to exceed the upper limit value when a transmission means for transmitting the divided mail that is divided by the dividing means, the transmission of the divided mail by the transmission means only the transmission result that was not successful, a communication terminal apparatus characterized by having a holding means that holds the destination contained in the divider mail.

According to the present invention, it is possible to retransmit a mail for a destination that has not been normally transmitted. Since the user only has to retransmit only the destinations for which transmission has not been performed normally, the work is reduced, and waste that the recipient receives a plurality of the same e-mails can be prevented. In addition, when large data such as image data is attached, it is possible to prevent network traffic and the storage area from being exceeded on the receiving side by sending unnecessary e-mails. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the use area of transmission history information can be reduced.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a communication terminal device, a communication terminal device management method, and a program capable of retransmitting mail for a destination that has not been normally transmitted.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the communication terminal apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the communication terminal device 1 includes a destination number determination unit 2, a transmission mail division unit 3, a mail transmission unit 4, a transmission result association unit 5, a transmission history holding unit 6, and a management report output unit 7. .

  The communication terminal device 1 has a function capable of transmitting an e-mail, and has an environment in which the number of destinations that can be specified as a transmission destination when an e-mail is transmitted to a mail server has a predetermined limit. The destination number determination means 2 determines whether or not the number of transmission destinations specified for one outgoing mail exceeds the upper limit value. The transmission mail dividing means 3 internally divides the transmission mail into a plurality of transmission mails so as not to exceed the upper limit value when the number of destinations specified for the transmission mail exceeds the upper limit value. The mail transmission means 4 transmits a plurality of divided mails.

  The transmission result association unit 5 associates the transmission result with the destination included in the divided mail. The transmission history holding unit 6 holds the transmission result by the mail transmission unit 4 and the destination included in the divided mail as transmission history information in association with each other. The management report output means 7 outputs the transmission history information including the transmission result and the destination held in the transmission history holding means 6 as a management report so that it can be visualized.

  Figures 3 to 7 show that the upper limit of the number of mail server destinations is 100 and the number of destinations specified by the user is 150 (user_001@fujixerox.co.jp to user_150@fujixerox.co.jp) A history holding example or a display example is shown. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a transmission history when a transmission result is held for each destination. As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission history includes a number, a subject, an attached file name, the number of destinations, the number of divided transmissions, a result, and a destination name. The outgoing mail with the number “123” has 150 destinations, so the outgoing mail dividing means 3 internally divides the outgoing mail into 100 outgoing mails and 50 outgoing mails. The transmission history holding means 6 holds the transmission result (normal or abnormal) for each destination included in the divided mail. As a result, it is possible to re-send mail for a destination that has not been successfully sent.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the transmission result when the transmission result is held for each divided mail. As shown in FIG. 4, the transmission history includes a number, a subject name, an attached file name, the number of destinations, the number of divided transmissions, a result, and a destination name. The outgoing mail with the number “123” has 150 destinations, so the outgoing mail dividing means 3 internally divides the outgoing mail into 100 outgoing mails and 50 outgoing mails. If all the 100 destinations of the first divided mail are normal and the second 50 are abnormal, the transmission history holding means 6 sends the transmission result (normal or abnormal) as shown in FIG. Is stored for each divided mail (divided transmission 1, divided transmission 2), the memory or hard disk area to be used can be reduced.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a transmission history when a destination is held only for a divided mail that has not been normally transmitted among the divided mails. As shown in FIG. 5, the transmission history includes a number, a subject name, an attached file name, the number of destinations, the number of divided transmissions, a result, and a destination name. The outgoing mail with the number “123” has 150 destinations, so the outgoing mail dividing means 3 internally divides the outgoing mail into 100 outgoing mails and 50 outgoing mails. The transmission history holding means 6 can further reduce the use area of the memory or the hard disk by holding the destination only for the divided mails that are not normally transmitted among the divided mails. By holding in this way, the user can know all destinations that have not been transmitted, and can retransmit only to destinations that have not been transmitted.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of a transmission history when the address book ID is used when the destination is registered in the address book. As shown in FIG. 6, the transmission history includes a number, a subject name, an attached file name, the number of destinations, the number of divided transmissions, a result, and a destination name. The outgoing mail with the number “123” has the number of destinations of 150, so the outgoing mail dividing means 3 internally divides the outgoing mail into 100 outgoing mails and 50 outgoing mails. When the destination is registered in the (predetermined) address book in the communication terminal device 1, the transmission history holding unit 6 holds the address book ID (for example, ID: 001) as the destination in association with the transmission result. As a result, the use area of the transmission history information can be reduced.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of a transmission history when only one domain name is held when all destination domains are the same and only an account name is held for each destination. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the transmission history includes a number, a subject name, an attached file name, the number of destinations, the number of divided transmissions, a result, and a destination name. The outgoing mail with the number “123” has the number of destinations of 150, so the outgoing mail dividing means 3 internally divides the outgoing mail into 100 outgoing mails and 50 outgoing mails. When the destination domain name (fujizerox.co.jp) is common, the transmission history holding means 6 holds the common domain name (fujizerox.co.jp) and each account name (for example, user_001) as the destination. As a result, the use area of the transmission history information can be reduced. The determination of the domain name may be performed for all destinations designated by the user, or may be performed for the destination for each divided outgoing mail. FIG. 7 shows the former example.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart when the destination is held only for the divided mail that has not been normally transmitted. First, in step S1, the destination number determination means 2 acquires the number of transmission destinations designated by the user, and in step S2, determines whether or not the upper limit value of the number of transmission destinations of the mail server is exceeded. If it is equal to or smaller than the value, the process proceeds to step S3, where all destinations are selected and a transmission mail is created. If the number of destinations is greater than or equal to the upper limit value in step S2, the process proceeds to step S4, where the outgoing mail dividing means 3 internally divides the outgoing mail into a plurality of outgoing mails so as not to exceed the upper limit value. Select a destination and create a send mail. In step S5, the mail transmission means 4 transmits the created transmission mail. If a transmission error occurs in step S6, in step S7, the transmission result associating means 5 associates the transmission result with the destination included in the divided mail, registers “abnormal” in the transmission history information, In step S8, all transmission destinations are registered in the transmission history information.

  If the transmission is successful in step S6, in step S9, the transmission result associating means 5 associates the transmission result with the destination included in the divided mail, and registers “normal” in the transmission history information. . In step S10, the destination number determination means 2 next determines whether or not the upper limit value of the number of transmission destinations of the mail server is exceeded for the remaining transmission destinations. Return to step S4. If the number of remaining destinations is less than or equal to the upper limit value in step S10, the remaining destinations are selected and a transmission mail is created in step S11. In step S12, the mail transmission means 4 transmits the created mail.

  If a transmission error occurs in step S13, in step S14, the transmission result associating means 5 associates the transmission result with the destination included in the divided mail, registers “abnormal” in the transmission history information, In step S15, all transmission destinations are registered in the history information. If the transmission is successful in step S13, in step S16, the transmission result associating unit 5 associates the transmission result with the destination included in the divided mail, registers “normal” in the transmission history information, The process ends. If there is a user interface screen display instruction or a print instruction for the communication management report from the user, the management report output means 7 displays or prints the transmission history information.

  The communication terminal device management method according to the present invention is implemented using, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and the program is stored in a hard disk device or a CD-ROM. Each step is realized by installing from a portable storage medium such as a ROM, DVD or flexible disk, or downloading from a communication circuit, and the CPU executing this program. The program divides the outgoing mail into a plurality of outgoing mails so that the outgoing mail does not exceed the upper limit value when the number of destinations specified in the outgoing mail exceeds a predetermined upper limit value. The computer executes a transmission step of transmitting the divided mail, and a holding step of holding the transmission result of the transmission step and the destination included in the divided mail in association with each other.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications, within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims, It can be changed.
