Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute an automatic transmission with a command from a telephone set by providing a storing means to receive and to store facsimile remote commanding information consisting of a fixed signal transmitted a remote side, and a transmitting means to execute the automatic transmission of a facsimile signal to a designed remote destination by the remote commanding information. CONSTITUTION:A remote commander dials from an external telephone 1, uses the push button of a telephone 3 and inputs a box number in which an original is put and a transmitting destination telephone number. When some incoming is detected, at a facsimile equipment 2, it is judged whether it is a telephone incoming or a facsimile incoming. When it is the facsimile incoming, an original receiving processing is executed. After that, when the connection of a circuit is cut off, dialed to a designed remote destination facsimile equipment 4 depending on the stored transmitting destination telephone number, and the original in an original memory 22 is transmitted.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to improvements in facsimile machines.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of facsimile device performs a document transmission operation only when a predetermined @ bow is received from a numeric keypad, function key, etc. provided on the operation panel of the main body of the device. .

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In this way, the conventional 7? 6. With facsimile machines, documents cannot be sent unless you use the control panel on the device itself, so if you want to send a document to someone from your home facsimile while you are out, for example, you will have to go all the way home to do so. There were some inconveniences such as having to do it.

This invention provides a facsimile device of this type with 3!
The object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily transmit a document using an IwA command.

[yI! [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention receives and stores a facsimile remote command a message consisting of a predetermined signal sent from the other party. The present invention is characterized by comprising a storage means and a transmission means for automatically transmitting a facsimile signal to a designated destination based on the facsimile speed command iml stored by the storage means.

(Function) According to the above configuration, automatic facsimile transmission can be performed by a remote command from the telephone U1.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a telephone exchange 1 installed at a central office is connected to a facsimile machine @2° telephone R3 and a destination facsimile machine 4 according to the present invention.

The facsimile machine 2 is provided with a push button tone (hereinafter referred to as PB tone) receiving section 21 and a document memory 22, and in this document memory 22, each box Ff1 corresponds to a message to be sent. Only multiple sets of manuscripts can be recorded and edited.

It should be noted that such memory transmission functions are well known in this type of technical field, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

As is well known, the control section of the facsimile machine 2 is composed of a CPU mainly based on a microprocessor, and by executing each of its control programs, sends &! Noh,
Various functions such as receiving functions and copying functions are realized.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a control program for realizing an automatic transmission function by remote command according to the present invention among the above-mentioned functions 1a.

The operation of this embodiment apparatus will be explained below with reference to this flowchart.

6, which issues a remote command, calls the facsimile machine 2 from the external telephone n1, waits for the other party's response, and then uses the push button on the telephone 3 to call the facsimile machine 2. Enter the box number containing the manuscript and the destination phone number.

On the other hand, when the facsimile machine 2 detects an incoming call (step 201), it determines whether it is a telephone call or a facsimile call (step 202).

When receiving a facsimile call (step 2o2),
Document reception processing is performed as usual (step 203).

On the other hand, when there is an incoming call (step 2)
02), decipher the box number and destination telephone number from the received Pa tone (step 204), and store the deciphered content (step 205).

After that, if the line connection is broken (step 206
), calls the designated destination facsimile machine @4 using the stored destination telephone number (step 207);
The original stored in the specified box in the original memory 22 is sent (step 208).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to send a document to the specified destination facsimile device 4 by a remote command from the telephone f13. Therefore, for example, if the document is sent to someone from the facsimile device at home while going out, be able to.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the remote control for transmitting a document has been described, but the present invention can be applied to various other remote controls.

[y! The effect of light! l! ] As described above, according to the present invention, in this type of facsimile machine, document transmission by remote command can be easily performed.
