Abstract

PURPOSE:To save the paper by reading out a memory content optionally with a memory content readout switch and copying and extracting the information content displayed on a display device selectively through the drive of a copy means with a copy command switch. CONSTITUTION:When a memory content readout switch 7 is depressed, the information stored in a memory 4 is displayed on a display 5 sequentially, the required information among the stored information is copied out by a copy means through the depression of a copy command switch 8 and the extracted information is erased from the memory 4 with a memory erasure signal 9. In this case, a memory content readout switch 7 is depressed, the content of the information displayed on the display 5 is observed and the information not required is erased for each occasion hy depressing a memory erasure command switch 10. Or the required information is extracted by a copy means 6 and then erased in the lump by using the memory erasure command switch 10. Thus, only the required information is selected by the receiver side and waste of paper is avoided.

Description

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

The present invention relates to a facsimile machine that allows output selection on the receiving side depending on the transmitted content.

[Prior art]

When a commonly used facsimile machine receives a predetermined transmission, regardless of the transmission content, as long as there is paper, the transmission content is copied onto the paper and sequentially ejected.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When such facsimile machines became popular for home use, they also came to be used for direct mail. In such a case, it is a waste of paper to receive even unnecessary direct mail that you do not want to receive, and it is unreasonable that the receiving side has to pay for the paper. Therefore, facsimile has the problem of waste and irrationality that cannot be chosen by the recipient. (Means for Solving the Problems) As a specific means for solving the problems of the conventional example, the present invention provides a reception notification means, a memory for storing reception information, a display for displaying the contents of the memory, and a display for displaying the contents of the memory. The contents of the memory can be read out arbitrarily by a memory contents readout switch, and the information contents displayed on the display can be selectively read out by driving the copying means with a copy instruction switch. The facsimile machine provides a facsimile machine with selectable output, which is characterized by being able to copy and retrieve information, thereby allowing necessary information and unnecessary information to be selected and retrieved as appropriate, and unnecessary information to be retrieved immediately. Since there is no need to erase and copy, paper waste and unreasonableness can be solved. ■Example] Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an illustrated example. 1 is a facsimile receiving device; The device 1 is driven by receiving a predetermined signal from an unspecified transmitter 2.This receiving device 1 incorporates appropriate reception notification means 3, memory 4, display 5, and copying means 6. The reception notification means 3 notifies the reception based on the information transmitted from the transmitter 2, and the contents of the information are recorded in the memory 4 and displayed on the display 5. The stored information can be arbitrarily taken out and displayed on the display 5 using the memory content reading switch 7, and the content can be copied by the copying means 6 using the copy instruction switch 8. In this case. Furthermore, since there is no need to leave the copied information in the memory 4, when the driving of the copying means 6 is completed, the copied information is erased from the memory 4 by the memory erase signal means 9. The information stored in the memory 4 can be erased individually or all at once using a memory performance instruction switch 10.

[Explanation of operation]

In the facsimile of the present invention having the above configuration, the reception notification means 3 emits a reception sound to notify reception based on a transmission signal of information transmitted from an unspecified transmitter 2. The contents of the transmitted information are stored in the memory 4 and displayed on the display 5 at the same time. At this time, when you see the content of the information displayed on the display 5 and press the copy instruction switch 8, the information is immediately copied and taken out by the copying means 6, and after the copying is completed, a memory erase signal 9 is sent from the copying means 6. The corresponding information in memory 4 is deleted. Further, when the user looks at the information displayed on the display 5 and finds that the information does not need to be copied, the information is immediately erased from the memory 4 by pressing the memory erase instruction switch 10. Furthermore, when the user is away from home and cannot view the information at the same time as it is received, each piece of received information is stored in the memory 4 in sequence. An appropriate indicator lamp is then lit to indicate that the information has been received. This display lamp is turned off by pressing the memory content readout switch 7. When the memory contents readout switch 7 is pressed, the information stored in the memory 4 is sequentially displayed on the display 5, and the necessary information is copied by the copying means by pressing the copy instruction switch 8 and taken out. The stored information is erased from the memory 4 by a memory erase signal 9. In this case, press the memory content read switch 7, look at the information displayed on the display 5, and delete unnecessary information by pressing the memory deletion instruction switch 10 each time, or copy the necessary information. After taking it out by the means 6, the memory erase instruction switch 10 is pressed all at once.
It can be erased by In any case, only the necessary information can be selected, copied, and retrieved on the receiver side.

【Effect of the invention】

As explained above, the output selectable facsimile according to the present invention includes a reception notification means, a memory for storing reception information, a display for displaying the contents of the memory, and a copying apparatus for copying the information contents displayed on the display. The content of the memory can be arbitrarily read by a memory content reading switch, and the information content displayed on the display can be selectively copied and retrieved by driving the copying unit by a copy instruction switch. , even if a large number of unnecessary direct mails are sent, the recipient can select and retrieve the necessary and unnecessary information as appropriate, and the unnecessary information will be immediately erased and no copies will be made. This has the excellent effect of eliminating waste and eliminating economic irrationality. In addition, for simple information stored in memory, it is sufficient to just look at the display without having to copy and retrieve it, which also eliminates wasted paper and reduces the possibility of running out of paper during facsimile machines. It also has various excellent effects such as being able to receive data even in the case of
