Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute transmission without requiring human intervention later only by setting an original by using a means to automatically reading a sending destination telephone number from the inputted original and to execute automatic dial origination to the sending destination. CONSTITUTION:The telephone number of the sending destination to be written in the original set to an original platen is read by an automatic reader 3 and the telephone number read by the automatic reader 3 is inputted and dialed to a telephone set 1 by an automatic dialing equipment 4. Then, when the sending original is set to the original platen and the automatic dialing equipment 4 is activated, the telephone number of the sending destination written in the sending original is read by the automatic reader 3 and data is sent to the automatic dialing equipment 4. The automatic dialing equipment 4 executes automatic dialing to the sending destination based on the inputted data and executes line connection when the sending destination can execute reception. When the line is connected, the original is sent to a facsimile main body 2, read in one by one page and transmitted to the sending destination.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to facsimile.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional facsimile machines, you place the original to be sent on the original table of the facsimile machine, call the recipient by manually dialing the recipient's number, and if the recipient is able to receive the original, the original is sent to the recipient.
The mechanism was to read and transmit pages one by one.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile has the disadvantage that each time an attempt is made to send a document, the telephone number of the destination must be manually dialed, and therefore it requires a lot of labor from setting the document to starting transmission.

[Means to solve the problem]

The automatic transmission facsimile of the present invention has a means for automatically reading a destination telephone number from an input document and automatically dialing the destination.

(Function) Therefore, when you set JIJ and start it up, it will automatically read the destination phone number written on the manuscript, and
Since automatic dialing is performed to the destination, facsimile transmission can be performed after line connection without any manual intervention.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of an automatic transmission facsimile according to the present invention.

The facsimile main body 2 is connected to a telephone line 5 via a telephone set 1. The automatic reading device 3 reads the telephone number of the destination written on the document set on the document table (not shown). The automatic dialing device 4 inputs the telephone number read by the automatic reading device 3 and dials the number to the telephone 1.

Therefore, when the original to be sent is set on the document table and the automatic dialing device 4 is activated, the automatic reading device 3 reads the telephone number of the destination written on the original to be sent, and sends the data to the automatic dialing device 4. The automatic dialing device 4 automatically dials the destination based on the input data, and if the destination is capable of receiving data, establishes a line connection. When the line is connected, the original is sent to the facsimile main unit 2, where it is read page by page and sent to the destination.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of another embodiment.

In this embodiment, a document setting device 8, in which a plurality of documents are set, sends each document one by one to an automatic reading device 7, and a document setting device 8, which is connected to a facsimile main body 6, monitors the transmission status, and monitors the transmission status and detects transmission abnormalities. The information reading device 7 receives each document one by one and reads the number of documents as well as the telephone number of the destination. The facsimile main body 6 not only transmits originals but also counts the number of originals. The telephone set 1 and automatic dialing device 4 are similar to the embodiment of FIG.

Therefore, if you set multiple originals to be sent at the same time on the original setting device 8, this will be displayed on the information display 9.
will be reported and displayed. First, the No. 1 document is sent to the automatic reading device 7, and the recipient's telephone number and number of documents are read. Next, the telephone number is sent to the automatic dialing device 4, and the number of originals is sent to the information display device 9. The automatic dialing device 4 automatically dials the telephone number to the destination, and if the destination can receive the message, establishes a line connection. When the line is connected, the original is sent to the facsimile main body 6, which reads each page one by one and sends it to the destination, simultaneously counts the number of original sheets and sends the data to the information display device 9. The information display device 9 compares the number of original sheets input from the automatic reading device 7 with the number of original sheets sent from the facsimile main body 6, and displays an error if the two do not match. When the transmission of the first original is completed, the original setting device 8 sends the second original to the automatic reading device 7, and then notifies the information display device 9 of the situation, and continues the above-mentioned operation until there are no more set originals left. Repeat. If the destination cannot be received when automatically dialing the destination, the automatic dialing device 4 sends the information to the information display device 9 and the automatic reading device 7, and the information display device 9 indicates that the destination cannot be received. The automatic reading device 7 sends the document back to the document setting device 8. When the original is returned, the original setting device 8 sends the second original to the automatic reading device 7, and after the above-mentioned operation is repeated and the final original has been sent, it automatically reads the first original again. However, if the same recipient cannot receive the data, the information display device 9 will display a message to that effect.
is displayed, and the series of operations ends.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention uses a means to automatically read the destination phone number from the input document and automatically dial the destination. This has the effect of allowing transmission without using .
