Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm a transmission reception message automatically by adding a transmission reception confirming function to a facsimile equipment. CONSTITUTION:A sender facsimile equipment 11 references a telephone number management table in its equipment after the end of transmission and converts the content into a recorded voice and makes dialing to a transmission end notice destination 15 to inform a message 1. When a prescribed number of times of calls are made to the transmission destination 20 and the transmission is disabled, a message 2 is informed to a transmission end notice destination 15 through an extension communication network to urge the confirmation of a telephone number. Moreover, a facsimile equipment 21 being a transmission destination outputs normally the sent text 13 and makes a dialing to a transmission text output end notice destination 25 to inform the message 3 through an extension communication network to urge the transmission sender to confirm the output. Thus, the transmission reception text is confirmed automatically.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to information communication technology, and more particularly to a method for implementing a function and a technology for using a facsimile machine in which a voice transmission/reception confirmation function is added.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the sender of a sent message storage type facsimile device confirmed the sending of a sent message by referring to the sending confirmation report output from the facsimile device or by calling the recipient. .

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional method described above, there is no function to notify the sender and recipient by voice when the message stored in the facsimile was sent. A place to be! The drawback was that you had to go there and check the delivery confirmation report.

However, even after the sent message is output from the recipient's facsimile device, there is no function to notify the recipient, so the sender has to call the recipient to confirm the output document. The drawback was that it had to be taken care of.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the facsimile device with a transmission/reception voice confirmation function according to the present invention,
On the facsimile machine, a send completion notification button and a send message output completion notification destination phone number are added to the send message destination phone number and stored in the facsimile device, and after the send message is sent, the send message is returned to the destination facsimile device. After the output is output, a confirmation phone call is automatically made and a pre-prepared audio message is sent to notify the completion of the operation.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 (explanatory diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2)
The figure is an explanatory diagram showing a management table in the facsimile machine of this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a message sent to a notification destination used in this embodiment.

Looking at the first section, when the sender 10 sends the message 13, the destination telephone number 31 of the destination facsimile machine It21 is notified of the completion of sending by the telephone number 32j? and the destination telephone number 33 for notification of the completion of sending sudden output, which are stored in the sender's facsimile machine 11, and the sent message 13 is stored in the sent message accumulation file 12.

The sender's facsimile machine 1tll makes a call to the sender's facsimile machine 21, and after completing the call setup, sends the message 13. At this time, the transmission completion notification destination telephone number 321? At the same time, transmission of the telephone number 33 for notification of the completion of the sending sudden force is also carried out. The sent message 13 (the sent message 13 is stored in the received message accumulation file 22 together with the direct call number of the notification destination) and is outputted from the printer 23 in a predetermined manner.

After sending is completed, the sender's facsimile device 11 refers to the telephone number management table in the device shown in FIG. Notify the message marked ■ in Figure 3. Destination 20
A fixed number of calls are made, and if the message cannot be sent, a message indicated by ■ in FIG. 3 is sent to the sending completion notification destination 15 through the extension telephone network, prompting the destination 15 to confirm the telephone number.

After the destination facsimile device 21 outputs the message 13 normally, it calls the message output completion notification destination 25, notifies the message shown in Figure 3 (■) through the extension telephone network, and prompts the destination to confirm the output. .

C. Effects of the invention] As explained above, the present invention adds a sending/receiving confirmation function to a facsimile machine, thereby making it possible to automatically confirm twice as much sending/receiving. This has the effect of significantly reducing labor.

An explanatory diagram showing an example of a message sent to a notification destination used in the example. 10... sender, 15... sending completion notification destination,
20... Sending destination, 25... Destination for notification of completion of sending text output.

Claims (1)

[Claims] The facsimile machine adds the transmission completion notification destination and the transmission output completion notification destination phone number to the transmission destination phone number and stores them in the facsimile device, and after the transmission is completed, the transmission message is returned from the destination facsimile device. A facsimile machine with a sending/receiving voice confirmation function, which automatically makes a confirmation phone call after outputting and notifies completion of the operation with a pre-prepared voice message.
