CONSTITUTION:Upon the entry of a telephone number of a communication destination from a telephone number entry section 1 by the sender, dial information 100 corresponding to the telephone number is inputted to a time difference calculation section 2 and a dial generating section 6. The dial generating section 6 generates a dial signal and the time difference calculation section 2 discriminates whether or not the inputted telephone number is an international telephone number. In the case of discrimination as the international telephone number, the district of the dial transmission destination is decided by an international number and a district number, the time difference with a corresponding sender is calculated by using a time difference table and time difference information 200 is outputted to a time difference calculation section 4. The time difference calculation section 4 calculates the present time 400 of the dialing destination from the time difference information 200 and the present time 300, outputs the time to a sender information addition section 5, in which the sender name and the date are added and the resulting information is sent to an opposite facsimile equipment in a form of a picture data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and particularly to time information added to a transmission document as sender information.

(Conventional technology) In conventional facsimile machines, documents are sent to the other party (receiving side).
When sending to a facsimile machine, sender information was added to the transmitted document to clearly identify the sender. Further, the sender information includes the date and time of transmission, and the receiving side recognizes the date and time of receipt of the manuscript by looking at the date and time of transmission written on the received manuscript. However, since the sending date and time included in the above sender information is the date and time of the sender's region, if there is a time difference between the sender and receiver's regions due to overseas communication, etc., the receiver's Only the date and time could be known, and it was not possible to accurately know the date and time when the receiving side received the manuscript.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In the sender information addition function at the time of transmission, which is provided in the conventional 71-kushimi device described above, the sending date and time added to the transmitted document is the time in the sender's region. When a document is sent to an area with a time difference, there is an inconvenience in that the reception time is not displayed on the document received by the receiving facsimile machine. Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks by adding the date and time of the destination region of the document to the transmitted document as sender information when transmitting the document to an area that has a time difference with the region of the sender. The object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device capable of transmitting data.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a facsimile machine having a function of adding transmission time information to a transmission document and transmitting the same to a recipient, in an area where the facsimile machine is installed. an input means for inputting telephone number information of the destination to which the document is to be sent; and a determination device for determining the region of the destination based on the telephone number information input from the input means. means, a time difference calculation means for calculating the time difference between the region of the destination determined by the determination means and the region where the facsimile machine is installed, and a time difference obtained by the time difference calculation means and the time measurement means. a time calculation means for calculating the current date and time of the destination from the current date and time of the destination; It has a configuration including additional means.

(Function) In the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, the timekeeping means measures the current date and time in the area where the facsimile apparatus is installed and informs the time calculation means of the time.

The determining means determines the region of the destination based on the telephone number information input from the input means, and passes the result to the time difference calculating means. The time difference calculating means calculates the time difference between the region of the destination determined by the determining means and the region where the facsimile machine is installed, and passes the calculated time difference to the time calculating means. The time calculation means calculates the current date and time of the other party based on the time difference obtained by the time difference calculation means and the current date and time obtained by the time measurement means, and sends it to the information addition means. The information addition means adds the current date and time of the destination obtained from the time calculation means to the transmission document as sender information, and transmits the document. As a result, the accurate date and time of reception is written on the received document on the receiving side, which is the other party.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus of the present invention. 1 is a telephone number input section for inputting a telephone number by an operator's operation; 2 is a time difference calculation section for calculating the time difference between the calling side and the dial destination (destination) from the input telephone number; 3 is a time difference calculation section for calculating the time difference between the calling party and the dial destination (destination) A clock for measuring the time, 4 a time calculation unit for calculating the date and time of the dial destination, 5 a sender for adding the calculation result of the time calculation unit 4 to the original as sender information and transmitting it. Information addition section, 6
is a dial generator that generates a dial signal corresponding to the input telephone number.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, when the sender inputs the telephone number of the communication partner from the telephone number input section 1 such as a keypad, the dial information 1 corresponding to the telephone number is displayed.
00 is input to the time difference calculation section 2 and the dial generation section 6. Here, the dial generating section 6 starts a dial signal generating operation based on the input dial information 100. The time difference calculation unit 2 determines whether the input telephone number is an international telephone number based on the input dial information 100. In addition,
Even when dialing in Japan through KDD (International Telegraph and Telephone), the access code OO1 is added to the beginning of the telephone number, so it can be easily determined whether the telephone number is an international telephone number. If the telephone number input by the time difference calculation unit 2 is determined to be an international telephone number,
The time difference calculation unit 2 determines the region to which the dial is to be sent based on the country code and area code added to the dial information 100,
The time difference with the transmission source corresponding to this area is calculated using a time difference table registered in advance, and the time difference information 200 obtained in this way is output to the time calculation section 4. The time difference table is a table that lists the time differences between the region of the dial destination and the dial source determined from the country code and area code, and is stored in a ROM or the like. Next, the time calculation unit 4 calculates the current time 400 (including the date) of the dial destination from the time difference information 200 obtained from the time difference calculation unit 2 and the current time 300 of the transmission source obtained from the clock 3. The current time 400 of this dial destination is output to the caller information adding section 5. The sender information adding section 5 adds the sender's name and the time adding section 4 as sender information to the leading edge of the transmission document.
Add the date and time obtained from , convert it into image data,
Send to the other party's facsimile machine.

According to this embodiment, if there is a time difference between the sending region and the destination region, the transmission date and time is converted to the date and time in the destination region, and the converted date and time is added to the transmitted document as sender information. The receiving side can always know the exact date and time of receipt of the received document.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention,
When sending a document to an area with a time difference from the sender's area,
The date and time of the region where the original is to be sent can be added to the transmitted original as sender information and then transmitted.
