Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform terminal set identification information of a transmission destination of an original or the like in an audible sense by combining a voice of a telephone number, e.g., and a predetermined voice and outputting the result in the case of sending an original. CONSTITUTION:A voice data of telephone number 'xx' of terminal identification information is stored in a storage data circuit 7 in the case of sending an original. Moreover, voice data such as 'The original sent at present', 'is sent correctly to Mt.xx' and 'is not sent correctly to Mr.xx' are stored in a voice data storage circuit 11. Then every time an original is sent, or at the end of the transmission of the original, the voice data are read in the order of 'The original sent at present', 'is sent correctly to Mr.xx' or 'The original sent at present' 'is not sent correctly to Mr.xx' and the data is synthesized in a voice synthesis circuit 12. Thus, the voice of 'The original sent at present is sent correctly to Mr.xx' or 'The original sent at present is not sent correctly to Mr.xx' is outputted from a speaker.

"The message was not sent correctly" is output.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In addition, in the figure, the same parts as in FIG. 4 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

In FIG. 1, the facsimile device includes a storage data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data storage circuit 7, and a data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data storage circuit 7, and a data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data storage circuit 7, and a data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data storage circuit 7, and a data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data memory circuit 7, and a data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data memory circuit 7, and a data storage circuit 10 that stores voice data corresponding to terminal identification information stored in a data memory circuit 7. Voice data storage circuit 1 in which the voice data of "is sent correctly", "was sent correctly", and "was not sent correctly to..." are stored.
1, an audio synthesis circuit 12 that synthesizes an audio signal based on the audio data stored in the storage data storage circuit 9 and the audio data storage circuit 11, and a speaker 13 that outputs audio according to this audio signal. It is provided.

Note that the audio data stored in the storage data storage circuit IO may be converted by the control circuit 9, and the audio data of the terminal identification information (numbers 0 to 9 such as a telephone number) may be stored in the memory in advance. You can leave it there.

Next, the operation of the facsimile machine having the above configuration will be explained based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, in FIG. 2, when the operator of the facsimile machine calls the facsimile machine to which the document is to be sent, a dial signal output from the dial sending section 6 is received at the facsimile machine to which the document is to be sent.

Thereupon, terminal identification information is responded from the original facsimile machine, and the terminal identification information is stored in the data storage circuit 7 by the control circuit 9 of the facsimile machine (step 5TI). When the operator performs an operation to start transmitting the document based on a response (for example, a beeping sound) from the receiving facsimile machine, the document is transmitted (step 5T2). At this time, the data storage circuit 10 stores data of a voice (for example, the voice "XX" of a telephone number) corresponding to the stored terminal identification information.

Subsequently, a determination is made as to whether or not − sheets of the original have been transmitted (step 5T3), and when − sheets of the original have been transmitted, among the audio data stored in the audio data storage circuit 11,
The voice data of "What is the current manuscript?" is read out, and the voice synthesis circuit 12 synthesizes a voice signal based on the voice data (step 5T4). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice ``What is the current manuscript?''. Furthermore, the audio data stored in the storage data storage circuit 10 is read out, and an audio signal based on the audio data is synthesized in the audio synthesis circuit 12 (step 5T5). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice of the telephone number "XX".

Next, it is determined whether or not the document currently being sent is normally received by the receiving facsimile machine (step 5T6). If so, the audio data storage circuit 11
The voice data of "It was sent correctly" stored in is read out, and the voice synthesis circuit 12 synthesizes a voice signal based on the voice data (step 5T7).
).

Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice message "The transmission was completed correctly." Furthermore, it is determined whether or not there is a document to be transmitted (step 5T8), and if a document is still set, the process returns to step ST2, and steps ST2 to Sr1 are repeated until there is no document to be transmitted. It will be done.

On the other hand, in step ST6, if normal transmission is not performed and the document is not received correctly on the receiving side,
Audio data stored in the audio data storage circuit 11,
The data "The message was not sent correctly" is read out, and the speech synthesis circuit 12 synthesizes a speech signal based on the speech data (step 5T9). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice saying "The document was not transmitted correctly", and the document transmission mode is terminated because the document transmission is not performed correctly.

In this way, each time a document is sent, a voice message saying "The current document was sent correctly to Mr. XXX" or "The current document was not sent correctly to Mr. XXX" is output. Therefore, the operator of the facsimile machine must
The destination of the original and the transmission status can be known aurally, and there is no need to look at each character displayed on the display circuit 8.

Next, in FIG. 3, when terminal identification information is responded from the document receiving facsimile machine, the terminal identification information is stored in the data storage circuit 7 by the control circuit 9 of the facsimile machine (step 5TI). . Based on the response from the receiving facsimile machine, when the operator performs an operation to start transmitting the document, the document is transmitted.

Further, the data storage circuit 10 stores voice data (for example, telephone number rXXJ) corresponding to the stored terminal identification information.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the document currently being transmitted is normally received by the receiving facsimile machine (step 5T2). If the transmission is successful and the document is correctly received at the receiving end, a determination is made as to whether or not there is a document to be sent (step 5T3). If there is still a document set, step The process returns to ST2 and is repeated until all documents are transmitted. When the last manuscript is transmitted, among the voice data stored in the voice data storage circuit 11, the voice data of "What is the current manuscript?" is read out, and the voice synthesis circuit 12 reads out the voice data of "What is the current manuscript?" The voice signals are synthesized (step 5T4). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice ``What is the current manuscript?''. Furthermore, the voice data stored in the storage data storage circuit IO is read out, and the voice synthesis circuit 12
An audio signal based on the audio data is synthesized at
Step 5T5). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice of the telephone number "XX".

Subsequently, a determination is made as to whether or not the document currently being transmitted is normally received by the receiving facsimile machine (step 5T6). If normal transmission is performed and the original is correctly received on the receiving side, the audio data storage circuit 11
The voice data stored in , ``Your message was sent correctly'' is read out, and a voice signal based on the voice data is synthesized (step 5T7). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice message "The transmission was completed correctly."

On the other hand, in step ST6, if normal transmission is not performed and the document is not received correctly on the receiving side,
Audio data stored in the audio data storage circuit 11,
The data "The message was not sent correctly" is read out, and the speech synthesis circuit 12 synthesizes a speech signal based on the speech data (step 5T8). Then, the speaker 13 outputs the voice message "The message was not transmitted correctly."

In this way, when the sending of the original is completed, a voice message saying ``The current original was sent correctly to XX'' or ``The current original was not sent correctly to XX'' is output. Even if the operator of the facsimile machine misses the telephone number of the destination displayed on the display circuit 8 when transmitting the document, he or she can know it from the voice at the end.
