Description

The present invention relates to a fax transmission device, a fax transmission system, a fax transmission method and a program.

Either you can specify an address from a PC (Personal Computer) and send it by facsimile (hereinafter abbreviated as Fax), or when you specify an address, you can select a fax destination using the address book you have. Is already known.
In addition, when specifying the destination, not only the fax number is directly specified, but also the registration ID (identification information) of the address book held by the transmitting device is specified, and the fax number held by the transmitting device is used. It is already known to perform fax transmission.

However, in the case of operation in which the address book held by the conventional transmitter is acquired and held and used on the client (PC) side, the difference is that the address book is updated separately on the transmitter side and the client side after acquisition. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to determine which is the latest one.
If there is a difference between the transmitting device and the client, it is not possible to know which address book information should be used for transmission from the fax job data. In that case, if the information is sent using either the communication device or client information, an erroneous transmission will occur. there is a possibility.

To explain this point concretely, when performing a fax transmission to a destination in the address book, for example, "ID0001", the user understands that the fax number of the destination "ID0001" is, for example, "123426". If so, it is possible that the fax number of the destination "ID0001" has changed to "987324" because another user has changed the address book.
In this case, if the user performs a fax transmission without knowing that, the fax is not transmitted to the number "123426" intended by the user, but is transmitted to the number "987324". In other words, it is an erroneous transmission that the user does not intend.

In order to avoid this problem, a problem occurs even when a fax number is specified and transmitted instead of specifying the destination ID in the address book.
That is, for example, if the user's address book is an old destination (Yamada: 123426) and the address book of the transmitting device is a new destination (Yamada: 987324), the new address book number "987324" should be used. If you use the old address book number "123426" to send where you have to send, it will also be an erroneous transmission.

Looking at the patent documents in this regard, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-041250) provides a shared address book used for fax transmission via a network for the purpose of reducing the load of address book update work. A system for updating (personal address book sharing system) is disclosed.
This system updates the address book when necessary, but when a PC (Personal Computer) sends a fax, the fax job sent is erroneously sent to the destination intended by the sending user. The problem that it may be done has not been solved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to make a mistake in transmitting fax job data from an information processing device to a destination that the user does not intend. It is to prevent it from being transmitted.

The present invention is a Fax transmission device having a Fax transmission means for Fax sent to the specified destination on the basis of the Fax job data address book information of the designated destination is granted received from the information processing apparatus, the information processing Comparison of the address book comparison means for comparing the address book information of the designated destination given to the fax job data received from the device with the address book information of the designated destination of the fax transmission device, and the address book comparison means. As a result, when there is a difference between the address book information of the designated destination, the fax transmission is characterized by having a solution processing setting means for processing and controlling the fax job data so as not to be transmitted to a destination not intended by the user. It is a device.

According to the present invention, when fax job data is transmitted from an information processing device to a destination, it is possible to prevent erroneous transmission to a destination not intended by the user.

According to the present invention, in a fax transmission system, when there is a difference in the address book of the information processing device (PC) that transmitted the fax job and the fax transmission device (for example, the MFP (combined machine)) that received the job, the information processing device. (Fax driver) adds the address book information of the designated destination to the conventional fax data when transmitting the fax job, and the fax transmission device assigns the designated destination assigned by the fax driver when the fax job is received. Reads the information in the address book of the fax machine, compares it with the address information of the specified destination in the address book of the fax transmission device, corrects the destination, etc. based on the result, and does not erroneously send to the destination not intended by the user. To do so.

If the address book information of the designated destination given to the fax job is newer than the address book information of the designated destination of the fax transmission device, the fax transmission device uses the designated destination given to the fax job. Use it to send a fax. If the address book information of the designated destination in the address book of the fax transmission device is newer than the address book information of the designated destination given to the fax job, the fax transmission device is assigned to the fax job. The designated destination information is discarded, and fax transmission is performed based on the designated destination information of the address book information owned by the user.

The fax driver 101 includes a UI unit 101a, a drawing unit 101b, and a resolution processing setting unit 101c.
The UI unit 101a provides an interface that enables the user to change the fax setting, and accepts the setting at the time of fax job transmission.
The drawing unit 101b includes a fax data generation unit 101b (1) and an address information addition unit 101b (2).

"Fax data generator"
The fax data generation unit 101b (1) reflects the fax settings including the destination information set by the UI unit 101a, and converts the fax data into fax job data that can be interpreted by the MFP2.
"Address information giving department"
The address information giving unit 101b (2) adds the information of the address book 102 used by the UI unit 101a and the fax data generating unit 101b (1) to the fax job data.

"Solution processing setting unit"
The resolution processing setting unit 101c receives the latest information from the MFP2 and updates the destination when there is a difference in the designated destination address book information of the address book held by the PC1 and the MFP2 based on the address book information comparison result in the MFP2. Set the processing when a difference such as job cancellation occurs. Further, the resolution processing setting unit 101c presents a UI (for example, the one shown in FIG. 9), causes the user to set it, and conveys the processing content to the MFP 2. Although the resolution processing setting unit 101c is shown as a driver module in FIG. 4, it may exist as a module in the PC1 instead of as a module of the fax driver 101.

"Address book"
The address book 102 is a list of IDs, destination names, destination numbers, and the like necessary for setting a fax destination.
The fax driver 101 refers to the address book 102 when setting the destination.
Although FIG. 4 shows that the address book 102 is arranged in the PC 1, the address book 102 may exist in another place (PC1 / storage) on the network instead of the same PC1.

"MFP"
The MFP 2 includes an address book comparison unit 201, a destination / address book update unit 202, a fax transmission unit 203, a resolution processing setting unit 204, and an address book 205, and performs fax transmission according to a fax job generated by the fax driver 101.
"Address book comparison department"
The address book comparison unit 201 compares the information of the address book 102 in the fax job received from the fax driver 101 with the information of the address book 205 of the MFP 2.

"Destination / Address Book Update Department"
As a result of the address book comparison, the destination / address book update unit 202 updates the destination of the fax job or the address book 205 of the MFP 2 if necessary.

The resolution processing setting unit 204 sets the processing when there is a difference such as update of the destination or job cancellation when there is a difference from the result of the address book comparison unit 201. The resolution processing setting unit 204 presents a UI (for example, shown in FIG. 9) and performs processing control according to the user's setting.
The address books 102 and 205 exist in the PC1 and the MFP2, respectively, but these address books 102 and 205 can be updated separately. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that the address books 102 and 205 of PC1 and MFP2 have the same contents.

It should be noted that each part of the module configuration of the fax driver 101 and the MFP 2 of the PC 1 shown in FIG. 4 and described above shows the functions obtained by the function realizing means realized by having the computer read the program. Therefore, the function realization means corresponding to each module is expressed as a "means" corresponding to the "part" (for example, the "address comparison unit" is expressed as an "address comparison means").

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of specific contents of an address book in this fax transmission system.
The address book in this fax transmission system will be described.
The address in the address book has not only the fax number as the destination but also information such as the ID, name, and company name in the address book.
In the illustrated example, in addition to the ID, name, company name, and fax number, the name furigana and the company name furigana are registered.

When the address books 102 and 205 of the client PC1 and the MFP2 are synchronized, the PC1 simply specifies the ID of the address book 102 when sending a fax, and the MFP2 has the fax number from the address book 205 to the ID in the received job. Fax transmission can be performed by acquiring.
Further, as information for embedding address book information in a fax job and comparing it, it may have information such as an address book name, an update date, and a version.

6A and 6B are diagrams showing a specific example of embedding address information in a fax job in the present fax transmission system.
The part surrounded by the frame in the figure is an example of address book information.
Here, two examples of methods for embedding address book information will be given.
The example shown in FIG. 6A embeds the name of the address book (“hoge”) and the update date (20160122) in the fax job, and the example shown in FIG. 6B shows the information of the destination address (“ID:”). 0001, Name: Yamada, Number: 21958123 ”, etc.) is an example of embedding.
Of course, in addition to this, for example, the version of the address book may be used instead of the update date and time, or the update date and time information may be added to the address.

The "update date and time for the address" is the date and time when the address was updated. In this case, the fax driver 101 and the MFP 2 perform a process of storing not only the updated date and time for the entire address book but also the update date and time corresponding to a specific address (specific ID) in association with each address. Do it. This makes it possible to compare the date and time when the currently specified address was updated. That is, it is possible to determine which was later changed for a particular address.
The data format to be assigned is not limited to the PJL format shown in the figure, and may be a fax command format or a format such as XML (Extensible Markup Language). Of course, it goes without saying that both the address book and the address information may be embedded.

Further, the content to be given may be changed according to the method of specifying the destination in the fax driver 101. For example, when specifying a destination by fax number, the name and fax number are required as the minimum information for comparing whether they are the same in the address book, but when specifying the destination by ID, the destination is specified. You will need your ID, name and fax number. As described above, since the required information differs depending on the method of designating the destination, the information to be given may be changed according to the method of designation.
The MFP2 compares this embedded information with the address book 205 of the MFP2.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure at the time of fax job generation by the fax driver 101 in the fax transmission system.
The flow at the time of fax job generation by the fax driver 101 on the PC 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7.
In this process, the user first sets the fax transmission setting (S101). That is, the user sets the fax job to be transmitted by the UI unit 101a of the fax driver 101. Here, settings related to transmission such as selection of a destination, addition of a cover page, and designation of a transmission time are made from the address book 102.

After completing the fax transmission setting, the user gives a transmission instruction (S102). That is, the fax driver 101 receives a transmission instruction and generates fax job data such as a transmission destination and transmission contents (S103).
Next, the fax driver 101 adds the information of the address book 102 used at the time of transmission setting or data generation to the fax job data as described in relation to FIG. 6 (S104). After that, the fax driver 101 transmits the generated fax job data to the fax transmission device (in this case, the MFP) 2 (S105), and ends this process.

The fax driver 101 adds information (address book information) of the address book 102 to the fax job data conventionally generated as described above. The added address book information is sent to the MFP 2 which is a fax transmission device, and the MFP 2 which receives the fax is used for the address book information comparison process in the address book comparison unit 201.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart illustrating a processing procedure for comparing address book information with the MFP 2 and updating the information in the fax transmission system.
In this processing procedure, the MFP 2 first receives the fax job data generated and transmitted by the fax driver 101 (S201).
Next, the address book information of the address book 102 assigned to the fax job data is compared with the address book information of the address book 205 of the MFP 22 that has received the address book 102 (S202).
If there is no difference between the two (S202, no difference), the fax transmission process is performed as it is (S206), and this process is terminated.

If there is a difference in step S202 (S202, there is a difference), a comparison is made as to which of the address book information given to the fax job data and the address book information held by the MFP 2 is newer (S203). Here, if the address book information held by the MFP 2 is new (S203, new), the destination information in the fax job data is updated according to the address book information of the address book 205 of the MFP 2 (S204).

If the address book information in the fax job data is newer, that is, the address book information in the address book 205 is older (S203, old), the designated destination information in the fax job data is set in the address book of the fax transmission device. It is reflected (that is, updated) in 205 (S205), a fax transmission process is performed based on the updated fax job data (S206), and this process is terminated.

In the example of FIG. 8, the fax job data or the address book 205 of the MFP 2 is updated from the comparison result of the address book information. However, if there is a difference between the address books 102 and 205 in step S202, the user is notified after that. Processing (post-processing) can be selected.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a display (UI) when the user is made to select a subsequent process when there is a difference in the address book information in the fax transmission system.
Here, FIG. 9 shows three methods: (i) transmission at the specified destination, that is, transmission as it is, (ii) updating to the address book 205 of the MFP2, and (iii) canceling (cancelling) transmission. Shows the screen to select. The fax transmission device processes the target fax transmission job by the method specified by the user.

The post-processing may be controlled by the resolution processing setting unit 101c on the PC1 side or may be controlled by the resolution processing setting unit 204 of the MFP2. Further, the UI may be displayed and set on the MFP (Fax transmission device) 2 side, or may be displayed and set on the PC1 side by notifying the PC1 to which the MFP2 has given a transmission instruction.
Further, although not shown in the figure, different destination information may also be presented to the user. Further, when there is a difference in the address book information and the address book information of the address book 205 of the MFP 2 is newer, the address book 102 of the information processing apparatus may be updated.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an update process at the time of address book comparison in the fax transmission system.
Here, FIG. 10A shows the address book 102 used when the destination is specified by the PC 1, and FIGS. 10B to 10D show the address book 205 (Examples 1 to 3) in the transmission device.

The update process at the time of address book comparison in this fax transmission system will be described.
The behavior (prescription) when the address book 205 in the MFP 2 is different from the address book 102 used when the destination is specified on the PC1 (last updated date (2016/01/15)) as shown in Examples 1 to 3 will be explained. The behavior in this case is to update the fax number (destination number) in the latest address book and send the fax.

Address book 205 in MFP (Fax transmitter) 2 (Example 1):
In this example, the address book 205 on the MFP2 side is newer (last updated (2016/01/19), and the destination number has changed to (992452342). In this case, Yamada: 123876521 as the destination from PC1. Even if is specified, the address book 205 on the MFP2 side is updated to 992452342, which is the destination number, and fax transmission is performed with the updated destination number.

Address book 205 in MFP2 (Example 2):
In this example, the address book 205 on the MFP2 side is newer (last updated (2016/01/25), and the ID has changed (ID0004). In this case, the ID is "ID: 0001:" as the destination from the PC1. Even if "Yamada" is specified, the address book ID "0004" on the MFP2 side is updated and fax transmission is performed.

Address book 205 in MFP2 (Example 3):
In this example, the address book 102 of the PC1 is newer (last updated date (2016/01/15), and the destination number (992452342) of the last updated date (2016/01/19) of the address book 205 on the MFP2 side is It has changed to the destination number (445631558) of the last update date (2016/01/05).
In this case, the information in the address book 205 on the MFP2 side is not used as the transmission destination from the PC1, and the fax is transmitted by "Yamada: 1238765321" specified by the PC1.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in the present Fax transmission system in which the address book is updated before transmission when the transmission time is specified.
That is, in the fax job at which the time is specified, the fax is not transmitted immediately, but the fax is transmitted at the specified time.
In FIG. 11, when the MFP2 receives the fax job, the information of the fax job and the address books 102 and 205 of the MFP2 are the same in (0001) Yamada: 1238765321, but after that, the address book 205 of the MFP2 It has been updated and changed to (0001) Yamada: 9992341, so there is a difference.
Therefore, if the transmission is performed at the designated time as it is, the transmission will be performed with the destination information ((0001) Yamada: 1238765321) of the old address book 102.
In the present embodiment, in such a case, the address books 102 and 205 can be compared at the time of transmission to send to the updated destination ((0001) Yamada: 9992341), so that erroneous transmission can be prevented.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above.
(I) The fax driver 101 adds the destination information of the address book 102, which is the source when setting the destination, in addition to the conventional fax data when transmitting the fax job.
(Ii) When the MFP2 receives a fax job, it reads the information in the address book 102 assigned by the fax driver 101 and compares it with the information in the address book 205 held by the MFP 2.
(Iii) When the information in the address book 102 given to the job is newer than the address book held by the MFP 2, the MFP 2 performs fax transmission using the destination information given to the fax job.
(Iv) If the address book 205 of the MFP2 is newer than the information of the address book 102 given to the job, the MFP2 discards the destination information given to the job and uses the information of the address book 205 of its own. Fax transmission is performed based on the original.
According to this embodiment, fax transmission can be performed based on the information in the new address book as described above.
