Abstract

PURPOSE:To send information in response to destination by selecting the information to be sent from plural bits of information stored based on the destination information. CONSTITUTION:When a transmission request of a map of an area map in a terminal equipment 1 is sent from the terminal equipment 1 to a FAX picture transmission equipment 4, the FAX picture transmission equipment 4 obtains the position of the terminal equipment 1 based on the telephone number of the terminal equipment 1 and sends the map including the position to the terminal equipment 1. Moreover, the FAX picture transmission equipment 4 selects a map to be sent based on the information representing a terminal station 2 connecting to the terminal equipment 1 giving the transmission request. Thus, the user selects the picture information such as a map to be sent without sending the position of the terminal equipment 1 of the FAX picture transmission equipment 4 from the terminal equipment 1 to attain the transmission.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information transmitting device that transmits stored information in response to a transmission request.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in order for a terminal to issue a transmission request to select and transmit the desired information from multiple pieces of information stored in the main device, the terminal had to transmit the information for selection. .

[Problem that the invention is trying to solve] However,
In the conventional example described above, in order for the main device to send out information that depends on the location of the terminal, such as a map or weather chart, the location of the terminal must be sent to the main device. Therefore, if the user does not know the location of the terminal, there is a problem in that information cannot be sent to the main device.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention includes a storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of information to be transmitted;
An input means for inputting a transmission request and destination information of the information stored in the storage means, and based on the destination information,
By providing an information transmitting device characterized by having a selection means for selecting information to be transmitted from a plurality of pieces of information stored in the storage means, it is possible to transmit information according to a destination. This is what I did.

[First example] FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a terminal, which is an analog telephone line terminal, a terminal in a digital network such as 15DN, and a mobile terminal such as an automatic telephone in these terminals. 2 is the terminal station that connects the terminal line, 3 is the upper station of terminal station 2, and 4 is the facsimile (FAX)
) An image transmitting device that stores image information to be transmitted, such as maps and weather maps.

When terminal 1 sends a request to send a map of the area where terminal 1 is located to fax image transmitting device 4, fax image transmitting device 4
is the telephone number (or call address, 15DN number,
15DN subaddress), and sends a map containing the location to terminal 1.

Also, the FAX image transmitting device 4 is connected to the terminal 1 that issued the transmission request.
The map to be transmitted can also be selected based on information representing the terminal station 2 to which the terminal station 2 is connected.

In addition to maps and weather maps, the information to be sent includes road congestion information,
It may also be information on vacant hotels.

In this way, the user can select and transmit image information such as a map to be transmitted without transmitting the location of the terminal 1 from the terminal 1 to the FAX image transmitting device 4.

[Second example] FIG. 2 shows a configuration diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention.

7 is a FAX image selection device. Components that are the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers,
Explanation will be omitted.

A plurality of terminals 1 and one FAX image transmitting device 4 are connected to each terminal station 2, and the FAX image transmitting device 4
stores information about the area in which the corresponding plurality of terminals 1 are included.

In this configuration, when a transmission request is sent from terminal 1,
The FAX image selection device 7 issues an information transmission command to the FAX image transmission device 4 corresponding to the terminal 1 that sent the transmission request.

Even in this case, information on the area corresponding to the terminal 1 can be transmitted without transmitting the location of the terminal 1.

In addition, the FAX image transmitting device 4 obtains information such as "one place north of the current location" or "a large area including the current location" from the terminal 1, and provides the location information of the terminal station 2 to which the terminal 1 is connected, as well as the information obtained earlier. It is also conceivable that the FAX image transmitting device 4 selects or creates a FAX image to be transmitted to the terminal 1 based on the information obtained.

In this case, additional selection information is sent from the terminal 1 to the FAX image transmitting device 4. The FAX image transmitting device 4 selects or creates a FAX image to be transmitted based on this additional selection information and information about the positions of the terminal station and the upper station.

If the terminal 1 is a G3 FAX, the terminal 1 places this additional selection information in the image to be transmitted to the FAX image transmitting device 4.

The FAX image transmitting device 4 reads additional selection information from the image information sent from the terminal 1 using an optical mark reader, an optical code reader, or the like.

[Third example] FIG. 3 shows a configuration diagram of a third embodiment of the present invention.

5 is a connected VT terminal. The same reference numerals as those of the constituent elements of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are given, and explanations thereof will be omitted.

The FAX image transmitting device 4 has multiple types of databases. It is assumed that the terminal 1 is subscribed to one of the plurality of databases.

The FAX image transmitting device 4 is a terminal! When it is determined that there is a database access request from , the terminal 1 recognizes the subscribed database based on the terminal operator's telephone number, etc., and connects the terminal 1 and the database.

In this way, it is possible to connect to the terminal 1 without specifying the database to be connected from the terminal 1 side.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably send information depending on the destination. therefore,
By making a transmission request, the user can save the trouble of inputting destination information.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a third embodiment. 1 is a terminal, 2 is a terminal station, and 4 is a FAX image transmitting device.
