Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform whether or not a confidential document is read to a sender by sending a notice sentence informing the readout of the confidential document to the sender to a destination telephone number together with an identification number when a stored confidential document is read. CONSTITUTION:A sent confidential document is received via an NCU 12 and stored once in a confidential document storage section 15 in a memory 14. In this case, a file number, a password and a destination telephone number of the confidential document are stored. While the display of a display device 18 is observed from an operation panel 17, when the password is inputted, the confidential document is printed out by a printer 19 and extracted. A routine message to send the end of readout of the confidential document to the sender is stored in a routine message storage section 16 in the memory 14. A CPU 11 applies the readout processing of the confidential document and reads the file number of the routine message and the above confidential document and the telephone number of the sent opposite party from the memory 14 and sends the above routine message and the file number to the destination of the above telephone line as the readout notice message.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a communication terminal device that performs confidential communication, the purpose is to notify a sending side whether or not a confidential document has actually been retrieved on the receiving side. A communication terminal device comprising a confidential document storage means for storing a document identification number and a destination telephone number, and a confidential document reading means for reading out the confidential document stored in the confidential document storage means using a password, a notification storage means for storing a notification text notifying the sending side that the confidential document has been read; and after reading the confidential document, storing the notification text together with the identification number of the read confidential document;
and a notification message sending means for sending to the destination telephone number. [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a communication terminal device that performs confidential communication.

With the spread of facsimile transmission and personal computer communication in recent years, data confidentiality functions are required.
Many devices now offer a confidential communication function.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional facsimile machine or the confidential communication function of a personal computer having a personal computer communication function, even if a confidential document is sent, the receiving device side
The confidential document does not actually reach the recipient unless the recipient enters the password and performs an operation to retrieve the confidential document. Therefore, there is a problem in that the sending side does not know whether the sent confidential document actually reaches the recipient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a communication terminal device that notifies a sending side whether a confidential document has actually been retrieved on a receiving side.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, ■ is a confidential document storage means, 2 is a confidential document reading means, 3 is a notice storage means, and 4 is a notice transmitting means.

Confidential document storage means 1 receives a confidential document and stores it together with the identification number of the confidential document and the telephone number of the other party.

The confidential document reading means 2 reads out the confidential document stored in the confidential document storage stage 1 using a password. The notification text storage 1,000 stages 3 stores a notification text that notifies the sending side that a confidential document has been read.

After reading the confidential document, the notification message sending step 4 sends the notification message along with the identification number of the read confidential document,
Send to the destination phone number.

[Effect]

When one confidential document stored in the confidential document storage stage 1 is read out by the confidential document reading means 2, subsequently,
The notification text sending means 4 reads out a notification text for informing the sending side of the readout of the confidential document from the notification text storage 1,000 stages 3, and sends it together with the identification number of the confidential document stored in the confidential document storage means 1. , the confidential document stored in the confidential document storage means 1 is sent to the telephone number of the destination party to which the confidential document was sent. Therefore, as soon as the receiving side reads the confidential document, the sending side is notified that the confidential document has been read.

[Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of a communication terminal device of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, 1l is a CPU, 12 is an NCU, 13 is a line, 14 is a memory, 15 is a confidential document storage unit (confidential file), 16 is a standard notification message storage unit, 17 is an operation panel,
18 is a display, and 19 is a printer.

The transmitted confidential document is received via the NCU 12, and is temporarily stored in the confidential document storage section 15 in the memo I714 under the control of the CPU II. At this time, the file number of this confidential document (is the number that identifies the confidential document),
Your password and the phone number of the person you sent the message to will be stored.

The operation panel 17 is equipped with a keyboard, etc. for inputting a telephone number, etc., and the operation of inputting a password and retrieving a confidential document is also performed manually from the operation panel 17 while looking at the display 18 consisting of an LCD or the like. . The confidential document is printed by the printer 19 and taken out.

The standard notification message storage unit 16 in the memory 14 stores a standard sentence for notifying the sending side that the reading of the confidential document has been completed. The file number of the confidential document and the telephone number of the sender are read from the memory 14, and the fixed text and file number are sent as a read notification to the sender of the telephone number.

FIG. 3 shows the control procedure of the CPU II described above.

After the confidential text is received (and stored in the memory 14) in step 21 of FIG. 3, the confidential text is read out (taken out) in step 22, and then the confidential 15, the confidential document message is deleted. However, at this time, the file number of this confidential document (the number that identifies the confidential document), the telephone number of the sender, etc. are held in another register (not shown).

Then, in step 24, a call is made to the destination telephone number read from the memory 14.

In step 25, it is determined whether or not the other party's communication terminal device, for example, a facsimile machine, is in a receiving state and has received a call. If the call has not been received, in step 28, the process waits for a predetermined time and then returns to step 24. and perform the call processing again.

If the call is received in step 25, in step 26,
Send read notification text. This notification text may be facsimile data or a voice message.

In step 27, it is determined whether the above-mentioned transmission has been completed normally. If not, the transmission is transmitted again via step 28.

If the process is successfully completed in step 27, the file number held in the register (the number identifying the confidential document), the telephone number of the person to whom the document was sent, etc. are deleted in step 29, and the process ends.

However, the file number is stored separately for the purpose of creating a management list.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the communication terminal device of the present invention, it is possible to notify the sending side whether a confidential document has actually been retrieved on the receiving side.
