Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for the key operation by the user and to eliminate careless mis-transmission completely by providing a facsimile number recording part and a visual display part displaying information visually and identificationally to a facsimile number recording medium. CONSTITUTION:A facsimile number recording medium 1 is provided with a facsimile number recording part 2 and a visual display part 3. For example, a magnetic recording medium, or an optical recording medium or a mechanical recording medium recording information based on a change in shape such as ruggedness or presence of throughhole is provided onto a base of a card or the like. A facsimile number is recorded onto various recording media in a readable way to form the facsimile number recording part 2. Moreover, the visual display part displays visually in an identification enable way by printing out information such as name, company name and address corresponding to the facsimile number to be recorded onto the base in terms of characters or symbols and reading the information visually. Thus, key operation or dialing is not required and disadvantage due to the operation is entirely excluded.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine that can call a recipient and send and send information without manual key or dial operations.

[Prior Art] Conventional facsimile machines require key operations or dial operations in order to call the other party for transmission.

That is, it is necessary for the user to input the facsimile number from his or her memory or from a notebook, business card, etc. after confirming the facsimile number.

However, due to misunderstandings or confirmation errors with notebooks, business cards, etc.
There were many cases in which the intended party could not be called due to a key touch error or a dial operation error. In such cases, if the call is made by telephone, the false call can be confirmed by the voice or response of the other party, but
In the case of facsimile, there is no way to instantly check even if there are input errors, resulting in the inconvenience of unilaterally transmitting confidential documents or important information to a third party. Further, if the called party is not a facsimile machine but a single-function telephone due to an input error, only an incomprehensible signal tone is emitted from the handset, causing extreme inconvenience to the receiver.

In order to eliminate such erroneous transmissions, the above-mentioned problem can be solved to some extent by installing a storage means in the facsimile machine itself and using a so-called speed dial that memorizes the facsimile number of the other party. It does not fundamentally eliminate input errors like this, and there are limits to its use.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile transmission system that completely eliminates careless erroneous transmissions and eliminates the need for key operations by the user. That is.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile transmission system according to the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned objects is formed using a facsimile device on a facsimile number recorder according to the present invention as described below.

That is, the facsimile number recording body of the present invention has a facsimile number recording section in which a facsimile number is recorded electrically, mechanically, or optically, and a name or company name corresponding to the recorded facsimile number is visually displayed. This is a facsimile number recorder characterized by having a visual display section for displaying the facsimile number in an identifiable manner.

In addition, in the facsimile number recording body of the present invention, preferably, the recording body is in the form of a card;
Or, it is in the form of a booklet.

Further, the facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a reading means capable of electrically, mechanically, or optically reading a facsimile number recorded on a facsimile number recording medium, and a facsimile number read by the reading means. A facsimile device is characterized in that it has means for calling.

[Function J] The facsimile number recording body of the present invention comprises a facsimile number recording section and a visual display section.

For example, a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, or a mechanical recording medium that records information by changing the shape, that is, by the presence or absence of irregularities or fitting holes, etc. is provided on a substrate such as a card. A facsimile number recording unit is configured by readably recording facsimile numbers on various recording media.

In addition, in the visual display unit, information such as the name, company name, address, etc. corresponding to the facsimile number recorded as described above is printed on the base as letters, symbols, etc., and can be identified by visually reading it. is shown as possible. This visual display section may be of a type configured so that the above-mentioned information is displayed only when necessary by appropriate operations.

Further, the facsimile device of the present invention has, in addition to various means having the functions of conventional facsimile devices, a facsimile number reading device and a destination calling device that calls the other party according to the number. .

Then, the document written or printed with information to be sent is set in a predetermined position of the facsimile machine of the present invention, and the recording medium such as a card or the like on which the facsimile number is recorded is selected as the destination of the information. By inputting the facsimile number into the facsimile number reading means of the facsimile machine, information can be accurately transferred to the desired recipient without any key or dial operations.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows an example of an embodiment of a facsimile number recording body used in the facsimile machine of the present invention to call the other party, and the card-shaped recording body is shown as a model. FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a facsimile number recording card which is the recording medium, 2 is a facsimile number recording section, and 3 is a facsimile number recording card.
is a visual display unit that displays information such as address and name, and is a type of card that is similar to a business card with tape on which a barcode containing a facsimile number is printed attached.

FIG. 2 is a schematic model diagram showing one embodiment of a facsimile device according to the present invention, in which 4 is a facsimile device, 5 is a facsimile number reading means, and 6 is a called party calling means. In this embodiment, a pen-shaped barcode reader 5 is provided as a means for reading the barcode 2 glued to the facsimile number recording card 1 shown in FIG.

In these embodiments, the present invention was constructed using the simplest means of gluing a barcode-printed tape onto a commonly used business card; The facsimile number is recorded in a readable barcode, and the file (
It is possible to read the facsimile number even when the device is in the stored state.

The validity of the present invention and the scope of rights of the present invention are not limited by these Examples. Rather, it brings about the next application and development.

For example, the facsimile number recording body of the present invention can be effectively used not only in the form of a card or business card as described above, but also in the form of a booklet.

In addition, the visual display section of the recording medium can be used only when necessary.
It may be of a type that allows the above-mentioned information to be displayed by an appropriate operation or the like, and doing so is more effective in maintaining confidentiality.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the facsimile number recording card and facsimile machine of the present invention do not require any key or dial operations when used, and information can be sent to the correct destination. This has the excellent effect of eliminating all inconveniences caused by the operation.

Of course, it is also valuable in that it meets the demands of modern society to eliminate waste of time.
