Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit an operator on a transmission side to recognize an opposite destination number and to previously prevent an erroneous dial operation by outputting the opposite destination number which has been dialled from a sound circuit under the control of a micro processor. CONSTITUTION:The micro processor 3 normally supervises the state of respective blocks as to the whole system. First, whether a handset is taken up, and a hook is turned on or not is decided and whether a dial operation is performed or not is sequentially decided. Furthermore, whether the opposite destination number which has been set by the dial operation is stored in a dial memory 2 or not is checked. When it is stored, the opposite destination number is outputted from the sound circuit by sound based on data on the stored opposite destination number. Thus, an accident that the document of other person is sent to an unexpected opposite party is previously prevented by permitting the operator on an originating side to hear the recognition of the opposite destination number.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a facsimile device that prevents erroneous sending of documents to recipients.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a block connection diagram showing a conventional facsimile machine. In the figure, ■ is a dial input device, 2 is a dial memory that stores dial data input from the dial input device 1, that is, the destination number, and 3 is a dial memory for storing the dial data input from the dial input device 1. A microprocessor 4 processes the dial data stored in the dial memory 2, and 4 converts the dial data into numbers (images).
The display device that converts and displays the data, 5 is a transmission permission circuit, and when the operator on the sending side confirms that the destination number displayed on the display device 4 is correct, he or she operates the YES/No button to the YES side and makes the first call. It is designed so that it can be done. Next, the operation will be explained. First, to send a document, place it in the document tray, then raise or leave the handset and dial the recipient's number (the same applies to pushbutton dialing). Then, the dialed destination number is input from the dial input device 1 to the dial memory 2 as number data and is stored therein. This stored number data is read out by the microprocessor 3 and displayed on the display device 4.
is entered, and the destination number is displayed here in numbers. Here, the sending operator checks this destination number and
After confirming that there are no errors, select YES from the transmission permission circuit 5.
/ Move the No button to the YES side. At this time, it becomes possible to transmit for the first time, and transmission can be started.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] Conventional facsimile machines are configured as described above, so if you misjudge the destination number for transmission,
Simply by pressing the S/No button, document data could be immediately sent to a business partner with the wrong recipient number, causing problems such as information leaks and other problems that could harm corporate activities. This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by audibly conveying the destination number to the operator on the sending side, it is possible to check for errors in dialing the destination number. The purpose is to obtain a facsimile device that can [Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile device according to the present invention uses a destination number stored in a dial memory as input data, and a microprocessor outputs voice data for the destination number,
The voice circuit converts this voice data into the voice of the destination number and outputs it.

[For use]

The microprocessor in this invention converts the dialed destination number into sound using an audio circuit, and outputs the sound from a speaker, etc., so that the operator on the sending side can aurally confirm the dialed destination number. Make it.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes an audio circuit, which converts the input data of the destination number stored in the dial memory 2 by the microprocessor 3 into audio and outputs the result. Reference numeral 7 denotes a speaker which outputs the voice-converted destination number as voice. Note that other blocks that are the same as those shown in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation thereof will be omitted. Next, the operation will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Normally, the microprocessor 3 monitors the status of each block in the entire system (step 5T).
I). First, it is sequentially determined whether the handset is lifted and the hook is turned on, and whether a dial operation has been performed (steps ST2, 5T3).
Also, it is checked whether the destination number set by the dial operation is stored in the dial memory 2 (step 5T4), and if it is stored, the destination number is determined based on the data of the stored destination number. , the destination number is outputted audibly from the audio circuit, and the operator on the sending side confirms the dialed destination number by ear (step 5T5). As a result of this confirmation, if the destination number is a predetermined destination number, operate the YES/NO button in the transmission permission circuit 5 to the YES side to call the facsimile machine of the destination number (step 5T6), and then send the document. Start transmission (Step 5TY). If the result of confirmation is that the number is incorrect, set the YES/No button to the NO side and reset the number. In this way, the calling operator can contact the other party. By hearing the confirmation of the number by voice, it is possible to prevent accidents such as inadvertently sending another person's documents to an unintended recipient. In the above embodiment, only the destination number in the dial memory 2 is stored each time a dial call is made, but the company name and name of the destination are also stored, and these are also output as voice along with the destination number. By this,
Furthermore, the other party can be confirmed more reliably. Further, as a special specification, by adding a modulator/demosulator for modicolating/demosulating the transmitted and received documents, the confidentiality of communication can be maintained.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, according to the present invention, the dialed destination number is outputted by voice from the audio circuit under the control of the microprocessor, so the operator on the sending side confirms the destination number by ear. Therefore, it is possible to prevent document transmission due to incorrect dialing or dialing to a person other than the intended party, and has the effect of preventing transactional accidents such as leakage of trade secrets. .

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a facsimile machine that automatically makes a call to a destination number stored in a dial memory through a dial operation, a microprocessor that uses the destination number stored in the dial memory as input data and outputs voice data corresponding to the destination number. and an audio circuit that converts audio data from the microprocessor into audio of the destination number and outputs the same.
