Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the retrieval work by an operator by outputting a communication result obtained by performing the automatic call issuing by an opposite telephone number designated by operation input and stored in a storage means. CONSTITUTION:The opposite telephone number is inputted from an operating part 2, and is stored in telephone number memory 3, and the opposite telephone number is stored in accordance with an abbreviated number and a one-touch number, and the operator inputs the abbreviated number and the one-touch number from the operating part 2, and a main control part 1 receives telephone number information in accordance with the abbreviated number or the one-touch number from the telephone number memory 3, and makes an automatic call issuing circuit 4 perform the automatic call issuing of a telephone number. The main control part 1 stores the abbreviated number or the one-touch number of opposite facsimile equipment and the communication result in communication result memory 5. When the operator inputs the abbreviated number or the one-touch number from the operating part 2, the main control part 1 reads a designated communication result in accordance with the abbreviated number or the one-touch number from the communication result memory 5, and displays it on the operating part 2. In such a way, the complexity of retrieval is evaded.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine having a function of notifying an operator of communication results.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of facsimile machine prints out all the communication results stored in the device or inputs the serial number of the transmitted document in order to communicate the communication results of the transmitted document to the operator. By doing so, the communication result of only one communication specified by the input was displayed on the operation panel.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, conventional facsimile machines notify all stored communication results, so if you want to know the communication results for a specific communication, you need to search among all the stored communication results. There is a drawback that there is.

In addition, in order for the operator to input the serial number of the transmitted document and display the communication result, the operator must memorize the serial number of the transmitted document determined during the automatic call operation and input it after the communication is completed. The disadvantage is that it is complicated.

[Means to solve the problem]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a first storage means for storing a plurality of destination telephone numbers, an automatic calling means for automatically dialing according to the destination telephone number, and a first storage means for storing a plurality of destination telephone numbers. in a facsimile apparatus having a second storage means for storing the first
and communication result output means for outputting the result of a communication made by automatically making a call using the telephone number of the other party stored in the storage means.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a main control section 1 controls the entire facsimile machine, an operation section 2 includes operation switches and a display element, and a telephone number memory 3, which is a first storage means, stores the telephone number of the other party and automatically The calling circuit 4 dials the telephone number of the other party, and the communication result memory 5 of the second storage means stores a plurality of communication results.

Next, the operation will be explained. The operator makes a mistake, inputs the other party's telephone number using the operating section 2, and stores it in the telephone number memory 3. The telephone number of the other party is shown in Figure 2 (a) or (b).
As shown in the figure, the numbers are stored in correspondence with abbreviated numbers and one-touch numbers. The operator inputs the abbreviated number and one-touch number from the operation section 2, and the main control section 1 inputs the telephone number memory 3.
The telephone number information corresponding to the shortened number or one-touch number is received, and the telephone number information is sent to an automatic calling circuit 4 for automatic calling. When the communication with the other party's facsimile machine is completed, the main control section 1 stores the abbreviated number or one-touch number of the other party's facsimile machine and the communication result in the communication result memory 5. The abbreviated number or one-touch number of the other party's facsimile machine and the communication result are stored in correspondence with the communication start date and time as shown in FIG.

When the operator wants to know the communication result, when the operator inputs the abbreviated number or one-touch number from the operation section 2, the main control section 1
retrieves the communication result corresponding to the specified abbreviated number and one-touch number from the communication result memory 5, and displays it on the operation unit 2.
to display the results. If there are a plurality of corresponding communication results, the results are sequentially displayed on the operation unit 2.

In this embodiment, the results are displayed on the operation unit, but they can be printed out from the recording unit that prints and records received documents.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows the operator to easily know only the communication results made by automatically calling a specific destination telephone number from among the stored communication results. This has the effect of making search work easier.
