is selectively captured and sends a facsimile call signal to the facsimile terminal device 4-2.

When the facsimile terminal device 4-2 that has received the facsimile call signal s returns a response signal C, the telephone network 1-2 returns a connection completion signal d to the facsimile storage and conversion device (STQC) 8.

The facsimile storage and conversion device (
STOC) 8 restores the facsimile signal P to which the facsimile signals P, , □ have been added from a digital signal to the original signal, and transmits it to the receiving facsimile terminal device 4-2 via the telephone yIl-2.

The facsimile terminal device 4-2 receives and records the received facsimile signals P and P,1□, and sends the calling telephone number n.
Output the received original with 2 recorded.

The user of the facsimile terminal device 4-2 (hereinafter referred to as the called party) recognizes the sender of the received document by the calling telephone number n2 recorded in the received document outputted by the facsimile terminal device 4-2.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As is clear from the above explanation, in the conventional facsimile communication system, the telephone network 1-1 identifies the calling telephone number n2 and transmits it to the facsimile communication V42, and the facsimile communication network 2 identifies the transmitted calling telephone number n2. It is converted into a facsimile signal P7□, added to the facsimile signal P, and transmitted to the receiving facsimile terminal device 4-2.

Therefore, what the called party can recognize is the calling telephone number n2 of the facsimile terminal device 4-1 used for the outgoing call, and if the user of another facsimile terminal device uses the facsimile terminal device 4-1, It was impossible to recognize the true caller.

An object of the present invention is to enable a called party to recognize a caller regardless of the facsimile terminal device used by the caller.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile storage and conversion device (STOC) 7 that has received the facsimile signal P uses the number addition unit (ADD) 74 to add the caller's telephone number n3 transferred from the telephone network 1-1 to the facsimile signal P. Convert to 3, fax terminal bag W
It is added to the facsimile signal P transmitted from 4-4, converted into a digital signal, and transferred at high speed to the facsimile storage and conversion device (STOC) 8 together with the incoming telephone number n.

The facsimile storage and conversion device (STOC) 8 sends the called telephone number n1 transferred from the facsimile storage and conversion device (STOC) 7 to the telephone network 1-2.

In the telephone network 1-2, a toll switch (TS) 6-2 and a local switch (LS) 5-2 selectively capture the incoming telephone 3-2 and send a facsimile call signal to the facsimile terminal 4-2. Send a message.

When the facsimile terminal device 4-2 that has received the facsimile call signal s returns a response signal C, the telephone network 1-2 returns a connection completion signal d to the facsimile storage and conversion device (STOC) 8.

The facsimile storage and conversion device (
STOC) 8 restores the facsimile signal P to which the facsimile signal Pn3 has been added, from a digital signal to the original signal, and transmits it to the incoming facsimile terminal device 4-2 via the telephone network 1-2.

The facsimile terminal device 4-2 receives and records the received facsimile signals P, P,,3, and sends the calling telephone number n.
Output the received original with 3 recorded.

The recipient recognizes the true sender of the facsimile signal P based on the caller's telephone number n3 recorded in the received document output by the facsimile terminal device 4-2.

As is clear from the above description, according to this embodiment, the called party can identify the true caller using the caller's telephone number n3 specified by the caller recorded in the received manuscript.

Note that FIGS. 2 and 3 are only one embodiment of the present invention, and for example, the configuration of the telephone network 200 and the facsimile signal storage means 100 is limited to the telephone network 1 with the facsimile communication network 2 attached thereto. Although many other modifications may be considered, the effect of the present invention remains unchanged in any case. Further, the configuration of the telephone terminal device 300 is not limited to the telephone 3 with a facsimile terminal device 4 attached thereto, and many other modifications may be considered, but the effects of the present invention remain the same in any case.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, in the facsimile communication system, the caller sends a predetermined code followed by his/her own unique second telephone number, so that the callee can receive a true message regardless of the calling telephone terminal device. This makes it possible to notify the sender of the facsimile communication system, thereby improving the serviceability of the facsimile communication system.
