The nonvolatile RAM 104 reliably stores data to be saved even when the power to the facsimile machine is cut off. Further, the non-volatile RAM 104 registers the name of the other party and the telephone number of the other party in correspondence via the operation unit 112.

Then, based on the program stored in the ROM 102, the CPUIOI has a function as a transmitting means for transmitting a counterpart name corresponding to the input destination telephone number to the destination receiver.

CG (character generator) 105 is a ROM that stores characters such as JIS code and ASCII code.
The character data corresponding to a predetermined code is extracted using 2-byte data as necessary under the control of the CPU1.

The recording unit 106 takes out recording data stored in the RAM 3 under the control of the CPUI and records and outputs it as a hard copy.

The reading unit 107 binarizes the read data based on the control of the CPUIOI, and sequentially stores the binarized data in the RAM1.
This will be sent to 03. Note that the loading state of the document in the reading unit 107 can be detected by a document sensor such as a photo sensor provided on the document conveyance path. The document detection signal is manually input to the CPUIOI.

The modem 108 uses RAM1 based on the control of the CPUIOI.
Modulates the transmission data stored in NCU 10
9 to the telephone line 110. Additionally, modem 108 transmits analog signals on telephone line 110 to

The NCU 109 switches and connects the telephone line to either the modem 108 or the telephone 111 under the control of the CPUOI.

A telephone 111 is a telephone integrated with a facsimile device, and a dial operation section is integrated as an operation section 112. Specifically, the telephone III consists of a handset, a speech network, a dialer, and a numeric keypad or one-touch keys.

The operation unit 112 includes a key for starting image transmission, reception, etc., a mode selection key for specifying an operation mode such as fine, standard, and automatic reception during transmission and reception, and a numeric keypad for dialing. . Note that the CPU 101 detects the pressed states of these keys and controls each of the above-mentioned parts according to the pressed states.

Next, this example will be specifically described. 6th
The figure is a block diagram of the interface portion between the operation unit 112 and the electronic telephone directory 114 in FIG.

The operating unit control unit 131 in FIG. 6 is the operating unit 112 in FIG.
The control unit monitors whether the numeric keypad portion 132 is pressed. 134 is a control section of the electronic telephone directory 114 shown in FIG. 7, and 133 is an interface section between the operation section 112 and the electronic telephone directory 114.

Here, the dial signals from the electronic telephone directory control unit 134 are Cll, C21, C31, Rll, R21,
When an electric signal is transmitted in a certain pattern through the signal lines R31 and R41, the transmitter (PDI~
PD7) converts the electrical signal into an optical signal. The light receiving section (FTI to PT7) on the facsimile main device side converts this optical signal into an electrical signal, and the switches SWI to SW7 decode this signal and convert it into a key press signal of the numeric keypad.
The information is sent to the operation unit control unit 131.

The switch SW9 is a combination monitoring switch that checks whether the electronic telephone directory 114 is attached to the operation unit 112 or not. When it is attached, the switches SWI to SW7 are turned on by making the switch SW8 conductive. It is enabled and a numeric key press signal is sent to the operation unit control unit 131. Also, when the electronic phonebook is removed, switch SW8 is made non-conductive, and switch SWI-S
Regardless of whether W7 is conductive or non-conductive, no numeric key press signal is input from the electronic telephone directory to the operation unit control unit 131.

This prevents the light receiving unit (PTI-PT7) from malfunctioning due to external light when the electronic phonebook is removed, and prevents an erroneous numeric key press signal (dial signal) from being input to the operation unit control unit 131. .

Next, the operation in this embodiment will be explained.

10 and 11 are timing diagrams of the electronic telephone directory. As shown in Figure 1O, a control signal is added before the dial signal and the signal is sent. The control signal is a specific signal consisting of # or * (in this case it is assumed to be *), that is, the electronic telephone directory sends out a dialing signal such as *03 7868442. This dial signal is sent to Rll to R41 of the electronic telephone directory interface section 134 in FIG.
, CI1 to C31. As shown in the dial signal timing diagram of FIG. 11, the SW of the switch of the interface section 133 of FIG. 6 is activated by a combination of seven signals.
It is decoded by I to SW7 and converted into the numeric keypad signal shown in the lower part of FIG.
1. The CPUIOI of the device detects this.

The CPUIOI of the device operates as shown in the flow diagram of FIG. Control signal (*) from the electronic telephone directory in step SO1
Watch for it to come. When * is received, it is determined that it is the beginning of dialing, the dial buffer in RAM 103 is cleared in step SO2, the display unit 113 displays that the dialing is from the electronic telephone directory in step SO3, and the line is captured in step SO4. do.

At step SOS, CPUIOI starts a built-in timer. When this timer times up, if there is no dial signal after *, the line will be released (
Step SO7, SOS). Meanwhile, step 806
When the dial signal is detected at step SO9, the dial signal is stored in the dial buffer of reception RAM 103 until dialing is completed.

When all the dial signals are received, the dial signal is sent from the dial buffer to the dialer of the telephone set 111 to initiate a call.

As explained above, since the facsimile device acquires the line before receiving the dial signal from the electronic telephone directory, there is no need to wait for line acquisition after receiving the dial signal. Furthermore, since the dial buffer is cleared before a dial signal arrives, accurate dial information can be stored in the buffer.

Further, since the display unit 113 notifies the user that the dial is from the electronic phone book, the user can dial from the electronic phone book with peace of mind.

[Sixth Embodiment] The electronic telephone directory of this embodiment emits a corresponding signal when the activation switch is pressed. On the other hand, upon receiving the signal, the facsimile device clears the dial buffer, displays a dial signal reception status, and seizes the telephone line, thereby entering a dial signal waiting state from the electronic telephone directory.

The configuration of the facsimile machine and electronic telephone directory of this embodiment is as follows:
This is common to FIGS. 7 and 8.

FIG. 12 shows a block diagram of the interface between the operating section 112 and the electronic telephone directory 114 in this embodiment. No.l
In addition to the block diagram configuration in FIG. 7, the block diagram in FIG.
An electronic telephone directory activation signal is output to the operation unit control unit 131 via T8.

Next, the operation in this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 13 is a flow diagram of the electronic telephone directory, and FIG. 14 is a timing diagram. The CPU of the electronic telephone directory generates an activation signal according to the flowchart. When the electronic phonebook activation switch is pressed from the operation unit 126 in step Sll,
In step S12, the CPU 121 turns on the activation signal. Also, step S I. When the electronic telephone directory activation switch is released in step S14, the activation signal is turned off in step S14. At this time, the relationship between the electronic telephone directory activation switch and the activation signal is as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 14, and then the dial signal is transmitted. The activation signal created here is output from the interface section 127 to the communication device. That is, the signal is inputted to the operating unit control unit 131 from 134 in FIG. 12 via PD8 and PT8.

Next, the operation of the CPUIOI of the communication device will be explained. This is illustrated in the flow diagram of FIG. In step S21, the operation unit control unit 131 determines whether or not the activation signal has been detected, and when detected, clears the dial buffer in step S22, and displays on the display unit 113 that dial signal reception preparation is complete in step S23. . Furthermore, in step S24, the telephone line is captured and prepared for future dialing operations.
In step S25, a dial wait timer is started. This timer is used to release the line when no dialing is performed. In step S26, the CPUIOI determines whether a dial signal is detected.
In step S27, it is determined whether the time has expired. When a dialing signal is detected, it is determined in step S29 that dialing has ended, and when the dialing has been completed, this routine is ended. Further, if the time is over in step S27, the line is released in step 528.

As explained above, the facsimile machine can seize the line before the dial signal from the electronic telephone directory arrives. Furthermore, since the dial buffer is cleared before a dial signal arrives, accurate dial information can be stored in the buffer. Furthermore, since it is possible to notify the user that dialing information can be accepted, the user can dial from the electronic phonebook after dialing information can be accepted, and data can be exchanged accurately. .

[Seventh Embodiment] The electronic telephone directory of this embodiment sends a signal corresponding to a clear key to a facsimile machine, and the facsimile machine is reset when it detects this signal.

The configuration of the facsimile machine and electronic telephone directory of this embodiment is as follows:
