Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for the caller operator to make a phone call to a called party and to prevent the sent telegraphic message from being left unattended by sending a voice signal stored in advance to a telephone set of the operator of the called party when the transmission of a telegraphic message is finished. CONSTITUTION:When a caller hooks up a handset 1, a call is sent to a CPU 10 via a trunk 4 and a controller 8 and required connection is applied. When the caller uses a numerical symbol button 3 to enter the number of a called party facsimile equipment 13 and the telephone set 15, each number is stored in the CPU 10 and the caller facsimile equipment 2. The connection is made by a command of the CPU 10, a telegraphic message is sent and the number of the telephone set 15 stored in the facsimile equipment 2 is sent to the CPU 10 to call the telephone set 15 when the transmission of the telegraphic message is finished. A routine message of the telegraphic message transmission notice stored in the facsimile equipment 2 is sent in a voice signal and the communication is terminated. Thus, the transmission of the telegraphic message is apprized to the called party and the transmitted telegraphic message is prevented from being left unattended.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile communication system, and more particularly to a facsimile communication system for notifying the end of transmission of a facsimile message.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional facsimile communication system, the telephone number of the receiving facsimile machine that sends the facsimile message is input, and after the message transmission is completed, the sender calls the recipient to notify them that the message has been sent.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional facsimile communication method described above, when a caller sends a message by facsimile, the transmitted document is sent as a facsimile until the sender informs the recipient by phone that the message was sent by facsimile after the message has been sent. There is a problem of being left alone.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile communication system of the present invention includes a first means for storing a telephone number of a destination device to which a facsimile message is transmitted and a telephone number of a recipient of the message based on an operation input, and an audio signal indicating that the facsimile message has been transmitted. and a third means for transmitting the voice signal to a telephone set having the telephone number of the called party which is called and connected when the transmission of the facsimile message is completed.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, 1 is a handset, 2 is a calling facsimile, 3 and 14 are number/symbol buttons for sending out, 4 is an incoming trunk (TRKO), and 5 is a tone sending trunk (TRKO).
NT), 6 is a receiver for receiving number information (RFC), 7
is an exchange machine.

8 is TRKO4, TNT5. RFC6, SDR control controller, 9 is switch control device (SPC), 10
1 is a central processing unit CP that controls the entire exchange, 11 and 12 are outgoing trunks, 13 is a facsimile on the receiving side, and 15 is a telephone set.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the caller raises the handset 1 of the calling facsimile 2 in order to transmit data from the calling facsimile 2 to the called facsimile 13, the incoming trunk 4 is activated.
The control controller 8 detects this. The control controller 8 notifies the central processing unit 10 of the activation,
The central processing unit 10 instructs the exchange control device to connect 21 between the incoming trunk 4 and the tone sending trunk 5, and connects the dial tone from the tone sending trunk 5 to the control controller 8 via the sending facsimile 2. Instructs the handset 1 to transmit. The poet trunk 4 and the receiver 6 for receiving number information are connected in advance via the connection 22, and the caller presses the number and # button of the receiving facsimile 13 using the number/symbol button 3 of the sending facsimile 2. Then, when the number of the telephone 15 is input, the connection 21 of the tone sending trunk 5 is disconnected, and only the number of the called facsimile 13 is stored in the receiver 6 for receiving number information via the exchange 7, and the number of the telephone 15 is It is stored in the originating facsimile 2. The accumulated number information of the called facsimile machine 13 is stored in the central processing unit 10 via the control controller 8, and at the same time, the central processing unit 10 connects the incoming trunk 4 and outgoing trunk 11 to the exchange control device 9. Instruct. Furthermore, in order to send a ring tone to the receiving facsimile 13, the connection 24 between the tone sending trunk 5 and the outgoing trunk 11 is connected to the exchange control device 9.
The ringing tone is sent to the called facsimile 13 via the outgoing trunk 11, and at the same time to the handset 1 of the calling facsimile 2. When the receiving facsimile 13 answers the call, an answer tone is sent to the handset 1 of the calling facsimile 2. After hearing this, the caller presses the transmission start button on the calling facsimile 2, and the message transmission begins. Put down the receiver 1.

Further, the controller 8 detects that the sender's facsimile 2 presses the transmission start button, and the exchange control device 9 controls the connection 24.
cut.

When the originating facsimile 2 finishes transmitting the message, a disconnection signal is sent to the controller 8 via the large trunk 4, and when the controller 8 detects the disconnection signal, the exchange control device 9 disconnects the connection 23. . Next, the originating facsimile 2 automatically activates the incoming trunk 4 in order to call the electric machine 15, and when the control controller 8 detects this, the exchange control device 9 sends out the incoming trunk 4 and tone based on the instructions from the central processing unit 10. The connection 21 of the trunk 5 is made. And the tone sending trunk 5 is connected to the connection 2.
1 to the originating facsimile 2. When the originating facsimile 21 detects the dial tone, the originating facsimile 21 transmits the dial tone to the originating facsimile 2 via the connection 2 to which the incoming trunk 4 and receiver 6 for receiving number information are connected in advance. The number of the telephone set 15 stored inside is sent out. At this time, the connection 21 is disconnected, and the number of the telephone 15 sent from the originating facsimile 2 is stored in the receiver 6 for receiving number information. The number information receiving receiver 6 activates the control controller 8 and sends the number information to the central processing unit 10. The central processing unit 10 connects the large trunk 4 and the outgoing trunk 12 to the exchange control device 9.
5 and connection 2 is disconnected. Furthermore, in order to send a ring tone to the telephone 15, a connection 26 between the tone sending trunk 5 and the outgoing trunk 12 is made by the exchange control device 9, and the telephone 15 is called. When telephone 15 is answered by the called party, a response signal is sent to originating facsimile 2 via connection 25 and connection 26 is disconnected. When the originating facsimile 2 receives the response signal, the originating facsimile 2 sends a fixed message to the telephone 15 as an audio signal to inform that the facsimile message stored in advance has been transmitted, and then disconnects the connection 25.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, when the transmission of a message is completed by an operation designation, a pre-stored audio signal is sent to the telephone of the called party, so that the calling party can contact the called party There is no need to make another phone call, and sent messages can be prevented from being left unattended.
