Abstract

PURPOSE:To connect with plural communication lines by accumulating a data memory received from one of the plural communication lines, selecting a different communication line, executing an outgoing call and transferring the data of a memory. CONSTITUTION:When an incoming cell is received from either of lines 9 or 11 at the time of an automatic receiving, a CPU 1 connects the line of an automatic receiving side with a device. At the time of a manual communication, the CPU 1 detects the condition of receivers 10 and 12 by monitoring an off- hook detection parts H1 and H2, when a start key 2 is pressed and either of the receivers is in the off-hook condition, that line is connected with the device. At the time of an automatic outgoing call, the automatic call to a line instructed by a code is executed, at the time of a relay, received image data are once accumulated in an image memory 30, after the line is selected by the instructed code and the automatic outgoing call is executed, the image data are transmitted from the image memory 30. Thus, the plural lines can be accommodated and a communication between nets unable to connect can be executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outside the Technical Field] The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and particularly to a facsimile device to which a plurality of communication lines can be connected.

[Conventional example]

Conventionally, this type of device has been limited to being connected to one line, so it has not been possible to connect to both a dedicated line and a general telephone line and use them accordingly.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional examples.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a facsimile machine according to this embodiment. In Fig. 1, 1 is a CPU that controls the entire device, 2 is an operation panel that displays and inputs operations, 3 is a reading section that reads originals, 4 is a recording section for copying and receiving, and 5 is a program containing part. ) 10M, 6 is a RAM necessary to run the program, 7 is a modem unit that modulates and demodulates transmitted and received signals, 8 is an interface with a line, 5NCU, 9 is a public telephone line LL, L2 . 10 is the telephone TEC1, 11 connected to 9
is an extension, L3. L4.12 is a telephone device 2, 28, and 29 connected to 11, and off-hook detection units H1, H2, and 30 for detecting the state of the receiver are image memories for storing image data.

Moreover, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the NCU 3. In Figure 2, 1

FIG. 3 is an example of an operation panel, and in FIG.

24 is a stop key, 24 is a one-touch key, 25 is a fine standard changeover switch, 26 is an automatic/manual reception changeover switch, and 27 is an outside line selection/extension line selection changeover switch.

Next, in the above configuration, (1) If a call is received from either line during automatic reception, the CPUI will switch to sw26 (automatic reception/manual reception switch)
If that side of the line is set to automatic reception, the CM on that side
Subtract 2 to connect the line to the device. From now on, even if a call arrives from the other line, the call will not be accepted while the other line is communicating.

(2) During manual communication, the CPU 1 detects the state of the handset by monitoring H1 and H2, and when the start key 2 is pressed, if either handset is off-hook, that line is connected to the device. Connect with. If both are off-hook, connect the line selected with 5w27 (line selection switch) to the device.

(3) When making an automatic call, for example, adding a ward to the beginning of the phone number will select an internal line, and adding the country will select an external line. If these codes are prefixed to the telephone number registered in the one-touch key 24 or entered from the numeric keypad 21, a call is automatically made to the line indicated by the code.

(One possible method that does not use these codes is to automatically call the line selected in 5W27.) (4) When receiving from one side and relaying it, the image data received from one line will be sent once. The image is stored in the image memory 30. After selecting a line and making an automatic call in the same way as in (3) using the code added to the beginning of the relay destination number instructed by the other party, image data is transmitted from the image memory 30.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration according to this embodiment.

〔effect〕

As described above, the present invention enables communication between networks that cannot be connected by accommodating multiple lines.
