Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid waste of retransmission of same page by informing it to a sender side at what page of the original an error takes place when an error takes place at a receiver side during facsimile transmission. CONSTITUTION:When an error takes place in a facsimile equipment 1 on the way of reception, a telephone reservation is applied at the end of the page. After an opposite party (sender side) hooking off its handset 4 is confirmed, a page having an error is informed automatically to the opposite party with a message such as 'The facsimile data sent just now has an error on the 2nd page.' at a voice synthesis circuit 11 to terminate the phone call. When no telephone reservation is available, a phone call is made again to the sender and the page having an error is informed to the sender by the voice message.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine. [Prior Art] In conventional facsimile machines, if an error occurs on the receiving side during transmission, the sending side emits an alarm or the like to notify the sender that an error has occurred. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with conventional facsimile machines, it has not been possible to notify the sender of the page of the manuscript in which an error occurred. Therefore, especially when the sender and recipient cannot contact each other by phone, there is an inconvenience in that when the sender sends a manuscript after an error, the sender has to send it from the beginning. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that allows the transmitting side to know on which page of a document the error occurred when an error occurs on the receiving side during facsimile transmission. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides, when an error occurs during reception, an identification means for identifying on which page of the received manuscript the error has occurred, and a voice indicating the page where the error occurred based on the identification result of the identification means. The present invention is characterized by comprising a voice generating means for generating a message, and a notification control means for calling the sender to a telephone on the sending side and conveying the voice message generated by the voice generating means. [Operation] According to the present invention, when an error occurs in the facsimile machine during reception, the sender is called on the sender's telephone by, for example, a telephone reservation, and the page in error is notified by a voice message. Additionally, if telephone reservation cannot be used, the sender will be called back and a voice message will be sent to notify the sender of the error page. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. This facsimile machine has a CPU that controls the entire machine.
12, a ROM 13 storing control programs for the CPU 12, and a RAM 14 used as a work area for the CPU 12. The facsimile device l also includes a modular connector 2 for connecting a telephone line, a telephone circuit 3, a receiver 4 for communicating with the other party, a ringer 5 for generating a ring tone, and a relay 6 for switching between a telephone and a facsimile. A relay 7 that generates a pulse dial, an operational amplifier 8 that is an amplifier, a transformer 9, and a modem 10 that modulates and demodulates transmitted and received signals.
A voice synthesis circuit 11 for issuing a voice message, a hook switch 15 for connecting and disconnecting the telephone line and the telephone circuit 3, and the like are provided. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the reception operation in the facsimile machine I as described above. First, when a facsimile call is received (S1), CPU1
2 detects an incoming call, switches the relay 6 to the modem 10 side, closes the relay 7, connects the line, and starts facsimile reception (S2). And if there is no error (S3
). End as usual (S l 2). Also, when the number of bits of the l line does not match and some lines are missing and an error occurs (S3'). At the end of the page, make a telephone reservation (S4), and after confirming that the other party (sender) picks up the phone (SS
). The speech synthesis circuit 11 automatically informs the other party of the error page, such as "There was an error on the second page of the facsimile you sent me."
S l l) . Hang up the phone (12). Also, in S5, if the other party does not pick up the phone even after a certain period of time has elapsed (36). When the error ends (S7), the line is disconnected once (S8), and after a certain period of time has passed (S9). If the telephone number of the other party is registered in the information of the facsimile that caused the error, make a call to that number (S t O). Then, if you hear a fax response from the other party, send a text message using the fax machine saying, ``This is ΔΔ Corporation, but the second fax you sent me was in error.'' Also, if the answer tone of the fax machine. If not, the speech synthesis circuit 1l transmits the same sentence as above to the other party as a voice message (
S 1 1), also. If you are unable to make a telephone reservation due to another error in "S3", disconnect the line (38).S
Follow the steps from 9 onwards to notify the other party of the error page. Note that in the above embodiment, in step 311, text transmission by facsimile and notification by voice over the telephone are used together, but the notification may be made only by telephone. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, since the sending side can tell which page of the transmitted document the error occurred on, the sending side can retransmit from the page where the error occurred, thereby eliminating the waste of resending the same page. It has the effect of eliminating the problem. It also has the effect of being able to identify the error page even if there is no one on the receiving end.
