Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform a specified receiver of the reception of a specified document by giving information of the reception of the document when transmission source specified information at the time of termination and registered one coincide. CONSTITUTION:A registration means 1 registers transmission source specified information specifying a transmission source which the receiver has designated and gives registered information to a comparison means 5. A transmission source specification means 4 extracts information specifying the transmission source from a protocol signal at the time of termination and gives it to the comparison means 5. The comparison means 5 compares transmission source specified information which the transmission source specification means 4 has extracted and that registered in the registration means 1. When they are detected to be coincident, it is informed to an information means 6. When the comparison means 5 detects coincidence, the information means 6 informs the receiver the reception of the document. Thus, information of the reception of the document can be given to the specified receiver.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Objective of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having an automatic reception function.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when the receiving party knows in advance that a document will be sent by facsimile from the other party, the receiving party will not be able to receive the document if the receiving party's facsimile machine is set to receive the document automatically. , I sometimes go to the 71 Kushimiri device on the receiving side,
After confirming whether or not the communicated document has been received, the document is accepted. However, the recipient must visit the facsimile machine several times before receiving the document, and the more important the document is, the more
Because the intervals between visits are short and the number of trips increases, it interferes with other duties and tasks.

Therefore, by using a device that can notify the recipient that a document has arrived, it is possible to reduce the number of times the recipient has to visit the facsimile machine. However, since this type of device sends notifications without limiting the recipients, each time there is an incoming notification from the device, a person must go to the facsimile machine, and this does not lead to a fundamental solution. Ta.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, when it is known that a document will be sent by facsimile to a specific recipient, conventional facsimile machines do not allow the specific recipient to receive the document. Since there is no means for notifying the recipient of the document, there is a drawback that the recipient must visit the facsimile machine many times before receiving the document. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provides a facsimile machine that can notify a specific recipient of the receipt of a specific document.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a facsimile machine having an automatic reception function, which includes a registration means for registering sender identification information for identifying a sender, and a transmission method based on a protocol signal at the time of incoming call. A source specifying means extracts information for identifying the source, and compares the source specifying information extracted by the sender specifying means with the sender specifying information registered in the registration means to determine whether the two match. The apparatus is configured to include a comparison means for detecting a match, and a notification means for notifying reception of a document when the comparison means detects a match between the two.

(Operation) In the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, the registration means registers sender specifying information for specifying the sender designated by the recipient, and provides the registered information to the comparison means. The source specifying means extracts information for specifying the source from the protocol signal at the time of arrival, and provides this to the comparing means. The comparison means compares the transmission source identification information extracted by the transmission source identification means with the transmission source identification information registered in the registration means, and when a match is detected, notifies this to the notification means. When the comparison means detects the match, the notification means notifies the recipient of the reception of the document. This allows the recipient to know that the intended document has been received.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a main part of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. 1 is the sender ID that identifies the sender
(For example, the recipient ID that holds the sender's phone number information)
a registration unit; 2 is a network control unit that performs line acquisition and release control m+;
3 is a protocol control unit that performs predetermined 7-axis communication to receive a document from the sending side; 4 is a protocol signal;
For example, TSI (transmitting terminal identification) signal or N5S (
Non-standard function setting) Receiving ID analysis unit that extracts the sending side telephone number information which is the sending source ID included in the signal, 5 is the receiving I
D: An ID comparison unit that compares the telephone number information extracted by the analysis unit 4 with the telephone number information registered in advance in the destination ID registration unit 1; This is an ID match notification unit that uses a buzzer or the like to notify a specific recipient that a target document has been received.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, the recipient who has received a document transmission notification from the sender must use the sender's ID,
Here, the sender's telephone number is registered in the destination ID registration section 1 using a keyboard (not shown). However, in addition to the above-mentioned telephone number, the sender ID may be a name, code, etc. that can identify the other party. Next, in the automatic reception mode, the network control unit 2 detects an incoming call and closes the line with the transmitting side. Thereafter, the protocol control section 3 transmits and receives signals according to a predetermined facsimile communication procedure, and then receives image data (document) from the other party. At this time, the reception ID analysis section 4 analyzes the signal during the facsimile communication procedure, extracts the sender's telephone number included in the TSI signal or NSS signal, and outputs this to the ID comparison section 5. The ID comparison section 5 compares the sender's telephone number sent from the received ID analysis section 4 with the telephone number registered in the destination ID registration section 1, and when the two match, an ID match notification section 6 is sent. Activate. When activated, the ID match notification section 6 amplifies a message informing the arrival of a document using a speaker or the like or uses a buzzer or the like to notify the user of the message. As a result, the recipient who has registered the sender ID in the destination ID registration section knows that the desired document has arrived, and goes to the facsimile machine to receive the received document. Note that the destination ID registration section 1 and the protocol control section 3
, the received ID analysis section 4, and the ID comparison section 5 are constituted by, for example, a CPU, a main memory, and a programmer of a control section of a facsimile machine.

According to this embodiment, if the ID of the sender who sends the document is registered, when the document is received, this can be notified to the recipient, so the recipient can receive the desired document. This eliminates the need to frequently visit the facsimile machine to check whether the document has been received, and the user can efficiently receive and receive the desired document.

In addition to the above-mentioned notification means, the IO coincidence notification unit 6 may also use a light such as a lamp or LED, and when a document is received, the IO coincidence notification unit 6 may call a telephone number registered in advance by the recipient. A configuration may also be used in which a voice response is used to notify that the target document has arrived.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention,
Receipt of a specific document can be notified to a specific recipient.
