Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily recognize the existence of a confidential document by printing out a message representing the presence of the confidential document in a picture memory after the reception of the confidential document is finished based on a transmitter identification code in an opposite destination storage section. CONSTITUTION:When a communication control section 1 detects confidential command information in a transmission control procedure signal, a telephone number of a transmitter included in a transmission terminal equipment identification signal is stored in an opposite destination storage section 8, the received picture signal is stored in a picture memory 2 and a confidential document reception LED 3a is lighted. After the end of picture signal reception, an identification code conversion section 9 fetches a telephone number in the opposite destination storage section 8 and a message representing the presence of the confidential document in the picture memory 2 is added, it is converted into picture information in a form able to be handled by the recording section 4 and the result is outputted to the recording section 4. The recording section 4 prints out the recording picture. Thus, the presence of the confidential reception document is more easily recognized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having a confidential reception function.

(Prior Art) FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional facsimile machine. In the figure, 1 is a communication control unit that detects various information in a transmission control procedure signal, and 2 is an image memory that stores confidential documents. , 3a is a confidential reception LED which is a confidential reception display section, 3
b is a numeric keypad for inputting passwords; 3 is an operation panel including a confidential reception LED 3a and a numeric keypad 3b; 4 is a recording unit that prints out confidential documents; a modem that demodulates the signal; 6 a network control unit (NCU) that receives the received signal;
7 is a public telephone line.

Next, the operation will be explained. NCU from public phone line 7
The transmission control procedure signal received by the modem 6 is demodulated into a digital signal by the modem 5, and analyzed by the communication control section 1. When the confidential instruction information is detected in the setting signal (NSS), the received image signal is not printed out from the recording section 4, but is stored in the image memory 2, and the confidential reception LED 3a is turned on. When the operator recognizes that the confidential reception LED 3a is lit, he enters the password that he has agreed upon with the transmitter operator in advance on the numeric keypad 3b.
Enter more information. Then, the communication control section 1 outputs the image signal stored in the image memory 2 as image information to the recording section 4, and the recording section 4 prints out the image information. After the printout is completed, the confidential reception LED 3a turns off.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since the conventional facsimile machine is configured as described above, if the operator overlooks the confidential reception display section 3a, the confidential document will be left in the image memory 2 for a long period of time, reducing the usage efficiency of the image memory 2. I did it. Furthermore, when multiple confidential documents exist in the image memory 2, the destination of each confidential document cannot be known unless the password is actually entered and the document is printed out, which is inconvenient for the operator. there were.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that allows an operator to more easily recognize the existence of a confidential received document after the reception of the confidential document is completed. shall be.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A facsimile apparatus according to the present invention includes a destination storage section that stores a transmitter identification code in a transmission control procedure signal, and a destination storage section that stores the transmitter identification code in the destination storage section as image information. and an identification code conversion unit that converts the code into an identification code and outputs the code to the recording unit.

[Operation] The identification code converting section in the present invention converts the transmitter identification code in the destination storage section into image information in a format that can be handled by the recording section, and outputs the image information to the recording section.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, 1 is a communication control unit, 2 is an image memory, 3a is a confidential reception LED, 3b is a numeric keypad, 3 is an operation panel, 4
5 is a recording unit, 5 is a modem, 6 is an NCU, and 7 is a public telephone line, all of which are the same as those of the conventional facsimile machine shown in FIG. Reference numeral 8 denotes a destination storage section that stores the transmitter identification code in the transmission control procedure signal, and 9 an identification code conversion section that converts the transmitter identification code in the destination storage section 8 into image information.

Next, the operation will be explained. The transmission control procedure signal is analyzed by the communication control unit 1 in the same way as in conventional facsimile machines.The communication control unit 1 detects confidential instruction information in the NSS of the transmission control procedure signal that complies with CCITT Recommendations T and 30. Then, store the telephone number of the transmitter included in the transmitting terminal identification signal (T-3I) in the destination storage unit 8. For example, if the telephone number set in the transmitter is 06-23-1234. Then 0
The code corresponding to 6-23-1234 is stored in the destination storage unit 8.
Next, the received image signal is stored in the image memory 2, and the confidential reception LE03a is turned on. After receiving the 0 image signal, the identification code converting section 9 converts the telephone number 06- in the destination storage section a. 23-1234, adds a message indicating that the confidential document exists in the image memory 2, converts it into image information in a format that can be handled by the recording unit 4,
Output to the recording section 4. The recording section 4 prints out the recording section as shown in FIG. 2. The operation of outputting a confidential document in the 0 image menu is the same as that of a conventional facsimile machine, so the explanation will be omitted here.

In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the telephone number of the transmitter included in the TSI is stored in the destination storage unit 8, but the NS
The comment data of the transmitter included in S may be stored in the destination storage unit 80. For example, if the NSS includes comment data "Osakashiten", the third
A recording section as shown in the figure is printed out.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the identification code converter 9 adds an appropriate message, but the message may be in a different text or may be omitted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the facsimile device is configured to print out a message indicating that a confidential document exists in the image memory after confidential reception is completed, based on the transmitter identification code in the destination storage unit. This configuration has the effect of providing a facsimile device that can more easily notify an operator of the existence of a confidential document than conventional devices.
