Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent mis-transmission caused due to an error in a telephone number in use or a wrong dialing by comparing an identification signal sent from a 1st equipment with a registration signal registered in a storage section in a 2nd equipment and interrupting a communication line to be connected when the identification signal not registered is received. CONSTITUTION:A 1st equipment at a sender side sets a call to a 2nd equipment being a transmission destination with an inputted telephone number, then a signal to inform the 2nd equipment to be a nonvoice terminal equipment is sent. The 2nd equipment sends a signal in response to the signal of the 1st equipment to establish the line. The 2nd equipment sends, e.g. a telephone number as an ID signal (information signal) to the 1st equipment. The 1st equipment compares the sent ID signal with the registration signal stored in the 1st equipment and when the received ID signal is not stored in the 1st equipment, the communication line is interrupted and the information is not sent to prevent mis-transmission.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] r Field of Application of the Invention j The present invention is a method of converting information such as characters, figures, symbols, etc. written on a manuscript into an electrical signal and transmitting the electrical signal to a long distance using electrical communication means. It is related to.

``Conventional Technology J'' Traditionally, various forms of information transmission, such as meeting and talking, have been used as needed. , it has become important to quickly obtain the necessary information.

Facsimile communication is a means of quickly and accurately transmitting this information to long distances. This method was described in the manuscript,
It converts information such as letters, figures, symbols, etc. into electrical signals and transmits them over long distances using telecommunications means. Specifically, information such as letters, figures, symbols, etc. on a manuscript is converted to electrical signals using an image sensor. It converts into electrical signals and transmits these electrical signals to long distances using public lines such as telephone lines.

In this case, the only way to distinguish between optical transmissions is to use the calling number (telephone number) of the public telephone line, and if the telephone number is entered incorrectly, the information will be transmitted to an unintended recipient, and important documents may There was a problem in that the information was inadvertently handed over to a third party.

Further, in the future, as the information society develops further, it is conceivable that one facsimile machine will become widespread in each household.

In this case, as you can imagine with current direct mail such as postal mail, even if the receiver of the information does not recognize the sender of the information, information can be sent to the receiver regardless of whether it is necessary or unnecessary. Conceivable.

In the case of direct mail such as postal mail, you can simply look at the address and name of the sender written on the envelope or postcard and throw it away if it is unnecessary. Regardless of whether the recipient needs it or not, the information received is always recorded on recording paper by the facsimile machine, so in such a situation, the recording paper runs out quickly, and the problem is that even if the information is unnecessary, the recipient always sees the contents. was there.

Furthermore, while receiving unnecessary information, the facsimile machine cannot send or receive data, and this is equivalent to the facsimile machine not operating.

``Purpose of the Invention'' The present invention solves these problems and provides a particularly effective electric transmission method when facsimile machines become widespread in households.

"Structure of the Invention" In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a first device that transmits information that receives an identification signal transmitted from a second device that receives the information, and a memory in the first device. Compare the information with the registered signal registered in the section, and after confirming a match, send the information to the second device, and if there is a mismatch, disconnect the line and do not send the information. The second device receiving the information compares the identification signal transmitted from the first device transmitting the information with the registration signal registered in the storage unit in the f52 device, and after confirming a match, transmits the information. When the identification signal transmitted from the first device is compared with the registration signal registered in the storage section of the second device, and an unregistered identification signal is received. The feature is that the connected communication line is disconnected.

The phase of normal facsimile transmission consists of the following five phases.

■Sequence for call setup and line establishment ■Sequence for checking the status of terminals, transmission paths, etc. and controlling the terminal ■Transmission of information ■Sequence for sending a signal indicating the end of information transmission and confirming reception ■Call recovery In other words, the communication line is disconnected.The present invention checks the destination by comparing the identification signal of the receiving destination with the registered signal of the sending source in phases ① and ② out of these five phases and prevents erroneous transmission. Or, at the receiving end, the registration signal registered in the receiving end's facsimile machine is compared with the identification signal sent from the sending end, and only if they match, the sequence is performed so that the next step is proceeded to. In,
The registration signal registered in the recipient's facsimile is compared with the identification signal sent from the recipient, and if the identification signal is not registered, the communication line is disconnected and unnecessary information is removed. This is to prevent the reception of such information in advance.

Examples are shown below.

r Example work 1 FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of the electric transmission method of the present invention.

The first sending device sets up a call to the second destination device using the entered telephone number, and then sends a signal to inform the second device that it is a non-voice terminal. The second device transmits a signal responsive to the first device's signal to establish the line. Thereafter, the second device transmits a signal indicating the reception capability of the second device to the first device, and the first device sets the transmitted conditions.

Next, the second device transmits, for example, a telephone number as an ID signal (identification signal) to the first device.

The first device compares the transmitted ID signal with the registration signal stored in the first device, and if they match, moves to the next step of transmitting information.

At this time, if the received ID signal was not stored in the first device, the communication line was disconnected and information was not transmitted to prevent erroneous transmission.

In the case of this embodiment, after setting the communication conditions with the second device, the ID signal from the second device was received and the destination was confirmed, but the process is not limited to this stage. The ID signal may be checked immediately after the communication line is connected.

By doing this, it is possible to prevent erroneous transmissions caused by incorrectly dialing a telephone number.

rExample 2” FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the electric transmission method of the present invention.

The first sending device sets up a call to the second destination device using the entered telephone number, and then sends a signal to inform the second device that it is a non-voice terminal. The second device transmits a signal responsive to the first device's signal to establish the line. Thereafter, the second device transmits a signal indicating the reception capability of the second device to the first device, and the first device sets the transmitted conditions.

Next, the first device transmits an ID signal, and the second device compares the transmitted ID signal with the ID signal registered in advance in the second device, and if they match, the second device The next step is to receive information. If the ID signal is not registered in the second device, the second device will disconnect the currently connected communication line and will not receive unnecessary information. I did it like that.

In the case of this embodiment, after setting the communication conditions with the second device, the ID signal from the first device was received and the destination was confirmed, but this step is not particularly limited.
, the ID signal may be checked immediately after the communication line is connected.

In this way, information that is unnecessary to the recipient can be eliminated in advance.

It is also possible to transmit and receive ID signals between the first and second devices and confirm each other's ID signals before proceeding to the next step. In this case, erroneous transmission and unnecessary reception can occur. It was possible to eliminate them at the same time.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ID signal from the first device is transmitted to the second device.
If the ID signal is not registered in the second device, the communication line is disconnected, but the ID signal sent to the second device is displayed on the display device of the second device without disconnecting the communication line, and at the receiver's discretion,
It is also possible to decide whether or not to receive the message and then proceed to the next step. In this case, if the receiver determines that the receiver can receive the ID, the I
It is convenient if the D signal is registered and the ID signal file is updated so that the recipient does not have to go through the trouble of registering.

Furthermore, if the ID signal transmitted from the first device is not registered, and the second device sends a message to the effect that it is not registered to the first device, the first device If the sender of the device really needs to send, the sender should separately contact the receiver by phone or other means and request them to register the ID signal or cancel the ID signal identification procedure, and then send the device. In this way, it has become possible to eliminate unnecessary information from senders that the recipient does not know.

Especially when the ID signal is a phone number, the registered ID
The signal file serves as a telephone number database and can also be used for other information.

"Effects" With the configuration of the present invention, it is possible to prevent erroneous transmissions caused by the sender's incorrect telephone number or incorrect telephone number.

In addition, it was possible to eliminate in advance the transmission of information that the recipient did not need, and it was possible to select and receive only the information that was truly necessary. In particular, it has been possible to save facsimile recording paper and effectively utilize facsimile machines without unnecessarily receiving information that is unnecessary for recipients, such as facsimile and direct mail.
