JPH0279548A - Forced restoration method for facsimile automatic redialing - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain immediate dialing to a correct opposite terminal number by restoring the set automatic redialing forcibly when an opposite terminal equipment connected in error sends prescribed numerical information to a facsimile caller subscriber, and applying alarm display representing mis-dialing. CONSTITUTION:If a wrong dial is given to a general telephone set in error, a facsimile caller subscriber is connected to the general telephone set. After the reply by the general telephone set, the called party discriminates the caller to be a facsimile call based on a call tone from the facsimile caller subscriber and dials a predetermined special number 'xx'. When a numeral reception monitor section 14 receives the numeral information, the section 14 outputs a detection signal to a forced restoring section 13. The forced restoring section 13 receiving the signal restores an automatic redial section 12 forcibly and informs the caller the wrong dial to the called party through a display by a liquid crystal display device and an alarm tone via a control section and a band companding section 11 at the same time.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for forcibly restoring automatic facsimile redialing, which forcibly restores automatic redialing when a caller dials the terminal number of the other party by mistake. It is something.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional facsimile machines with an automatic redial function are set to automatically redial, and if the caller dials the other party's terminal number incorrectly, the caller is connected to the called party's general telephone, etc., and this telephone, etc. Bone was called a set number of times. For this reason, the called party must respond until the number of calls is completed, and no workaround has been developed for this problem.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, when automatically re-dialing with conventional facsimile machines, if the recipient's terminal number is dialed incorrectly,
Since the call cannot be restored until the preset number of automatic re-calls has been completed, it was not possible to immediately re-call the correct terminal number of the other party.

Furthermore, if a hunting group or the like is formed on the called side, there are still disadvantages in that it is troublesome, troublesome, annoying, and inefficient.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate such inconvenience, notify the caller if the number of the other party's terminal is dialed incorrectly, and forcibly restore the automatic re-dialing, so that the other party's terminal is overwhelmed again. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a forced recovery method for facsimile automatic redialing that allows dialing of numbers.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is a method for forcibly restoring automatic redialing when a facsimile originating subscriber who has an automatic facsimile redial function dials the number of the other party's terminal by mistake, and the erroneously connected other party's terminal is reset to a predetermined number. Numeric information is transmitted to the facsimile originating subscriber, and when the facsimile originating subscriber receives this numeric information, it forcibly restores the set automatic redialing and displays an alarm indicating incorrect dialing. .

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a relay system implementing the present invention. This relay system consists of the facsimile originating subscriber 20, the local exchange 25, the central control unit 30 and storage device 35 that control it, and the monitoring side of the communication path. 11+ relay trunks 40 and 45, an in-office exchange 50, a central controller 70 and a storage device 75 that control it, an incoming call register 60 that relays various information necessary for incoming connection, and a general telephone 5.
5 and a facsimile reception subscriber 65.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a facsimile machine used to implement the present invention, which includes an image signal processing section 1, an operation panel 2,
Modulation/demodulation section 3, recording control section 4, power supply section 5, transmission mechanism section 6, reception mechanism section 7, mechanism drive section 8, and sensor section 9
, a network control section 10 , a control section and band compression/expansion section 11 , an automatic retransmission section 12 , a forced recovery section 13 , a numeric reception monitoring section 14 , and an alarm display section 15 .

The image signal processing section 1 processes image signals, and the operation panel 2 operates the facsimile machine. The modulation/demodulation section 3 modulates or demodulates the electric signal, and the recording control section 4 performs control when recording characters, etc. on recording paper based on the demodulated signal. The power supply section 5 supplies power to the recording control section 4, the control section, and the band compression/expansion section 11. A transmission mechanism section 6 that operates during transmission and a reception mechanism section 7 that operates during reception are driven and controlled by a mechanism drive section 8.

Further, the sensor section 9 detects, for example, the presence or absence of recording paper or a transmission document, and generates a detection signal for smoothly operating the mechanism drive section 8. The network control section 10 controls the line network, and the control section and band compression/expansion section II comprehensively control each section.
Compress or expand the frequency band of facsimile signals.

The automatic re-transmission section 12 performs automatic re-transmission a set number of times, and the numeric reception monitoring section 14 is connected to the line and monitors numeric information from the called party, and when it detects it, sends a detection signal to the forced recovery section 13. Output. The forced recovery unit 13 is the number reception monitoring unit 1
Automatic retransmission is forcibly restored by the signal from 4.

The alarm display unit 15 is provided on the operation panel 2 to notify the caller of the incorrect dialing of the other party's terminal number by means of a display or the like.

It is assumed that the facsimile calling subscriber 20 in FIG. 1 is equipped with a facsimile machine having the above-described configuration.

Next, the procedure for forced recovery of automatic facsimile retransmission will be explained.

When transmitting image information from the facsimile originating subscriber 20 to the facsimile receiving subscriber 65, the originator transmits the image information from the facsimile originating subscriber 20 to the local exchange 25, the relay trunk 40, 45, the destination exchange 50, and the incoming call register 60. After dialing the other party's terminal number, the automatic redial section 1
Start 2. If the user mistakenly dials the general telephone 55 at this time, the facsimile originating subscriber 20 is connected to the general telephone 55 and makes a call. After the general telephone 55 answers, it determines that the calling party is a facsimile based on the dial tone from the facsimile calling subscriber 20, for example, and dials a predetermined special number "xx". This numerical information reaches the facsimile receiving subscriber 20 via the exchange 50 and the exchange 25, and is taken into the facsimile machine shown in FIG.

The numeric reception monitoring unit 14 outputs a detection signal to the forced recovery unit 13 when receiving this numeric information. Upon receiving this signal, the forced recovery section 13 forcibly recovers the automatic retransmission section 12, and at the same time informs the caller via the control section and the band compression/expansion section 11, for example, by a display on a liquid crystal display and an alarm sound. Notify the other party of dialing the wrong terminal number.

As a result, the caller can re-dial the correct terminal number of the other party, and the call will not be repeated to the subscriber of the incorrectly connected general telephone 55.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides facsimile automatic re-calling, which re-calls a set number of times regardless of the error, even if an incorrect terminal number is dialed. is imported into the facsimile+) device, the numeric reception monitoring section monitors for errors in the other party's terminal number, the forced recovery section restores the facsimile automatic re-transmission, and the alarm display section alerts the caller to the incorrect number of the other party's terminal number. I'm letting you know. Therefore, the caller can not only dial the other party's terminal number and quickly find out that it is an incorrect number, but also quickly dial the correct other party's terminal number.

This not only prevents unnecessary communication on the caller side and eliminates wasted time, but also does not interfere with the called side's business performance, making it possible for the facsimile user to communicate efficiently.
