Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely know a facsimile procedure signal with hearing sensation by providing a voice synthesizing circuit and a memory to store voice data. CONSTITUTION:The TSI, CSI and CIG signals of a facsimile procedure in accordance with a CCITT recommendation sent from an opposite terminal through a network control circuit 1 are received and decoded with a MODEM 2 and supplied to a procedure control part 3. Since the voice data in accordance with a procedure signal from a memory 5 through a memory control part 4 are read, synthesized by a voice synthesizing circuit 6, and the procedure is voice-informed from a speaker 7 other than through the displaying, the designation procedure can be easily and surely known with the hearing sensation.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a facsimile device.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional facsimile machines display information about the other party's terminal, such as a telephone number sent from the other party's terminal via TSL, CSI, or CIG, on a display section or by printing it on a report.

Problems that the invention aims to solve The conventional facsimile machine mentioned above is TSLCSI.

It only visually displays the contents of the CIG, and has the disadvantage that you cannot confirm the telephone number of the other party unless you view it as a display or a report.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation,
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a new facsimile apparatus which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional technology and which makes it possible to easily recognize the other party.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a facsimile device according to the present invention includes a memory storing digitally processed voice data and a voice synthesis circuit, and includes a TSI, C31, CIG
The content of the content is extracted, and digital audio data matching the content is sequentially synthesized from the memory by the audio synthesis circuit and displayed as audio from the speaker.

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a facsimile transmission from a destination terminal is inputted to a modem unit 2 through a network control circuit 1 and demodulated. 1. The adjusted procedure signal is sent to the procedure control unit 3.
The telephone number of the other party in the TSI, CSI, or CIG is input into the memory control unit 4. The memory control unit 4 specifies the address of the memory 5 in which voice data corresponding to each digit of the telephone number is stored, and outputs the voice data from the memory 5 to the voice synthesis circuit 6. The speech synthesis circuit 6 sequentially synthesizes speech data for each digit of the telephone number. The speaker 7 converts the synthesized audio signal into tones, so that the telephone number of the other party's station is displayed in the form of audio.

FIG. 2 shows an example of data stored in the memory S. Areas 1 to 14 are memory address groups, and each area stores audio and decomposed data as shown in the figure. The case where it is received will be explained.

The procedure control unit 3 receives the TSI and its contents 034561
234 is output to the memory control unit 4. The memory control unit 4 reads area 1 and area 2 in order from the most significant digit of the telephone number to read out the areas containing the corresponding voice data.
, area 3, area 6, area 7, area 8, area 9
, area 4, area 5, area 6, area 7, area 1
Specify 4. One of Area 13 and Area 14 is added to the end of the telephone number depending on whether the device is currently in reception or transmission mode. The audio data read out to J+IH is synthesized by the audio synthesis circuit 6 into an audio signal, which is converted into audio by the speaker 7. At this time, the content displayed by voice is [Current phone number 0345612]
"Receiving from number 34."

As described in detail, according to the present invention, a speech synthesis circuit;
1a signal TsI, C8I, CIG (7) Contents'
! : By displaying audio, it is possible to easily confirm the other station without relying on visual display as in the past.
