Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily seek a document addressed to itself by blinking a lamp of a function key of a multi-function telephone set located closest to a recipient and displaying alternately a receiver name and a caller name on a display screen. CONSTITUTION:The system consists of an information processing unit 1, a reception management file section 2, a facsimile equipment 3, a multi-function telephone set 4 and a private branch of electronic exchange 5. Then a head page of a received facsimile document is finally outputted, a receiver and a caller are identified by the information processing unit 1, and a lamp of a function key 41 of the multi-function telephone set 4 located closest to the receiver is blinked to display the receiver name and the caller name alternately. Thus, the facsimile document addressed to itself is recognized simultaneously at the reception of a facsimile call.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile reception notification system, and more particularly to a facsimile reception notification system that combines a multifunction telephone housed in a private electronic branch exchange, a facsimile machine, and an information processing device. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in a facsimile reception notification system, a person at the facsimile machine looks at the recipient's name written in the received facsimile document and passes it to the recipient.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional facsimile reception notification system described above, unless someone is near the facsimile machine, it is impossible to know whether a document has been received or not, and even if someone is near the facsimile machine, it is impossible to know to whom the document is addressed unless they look at the received document. , the document sending form that is sent first is placed at the bottom, which has the disadvantage that it is difficult to see the document sending form.

[Means for clearly reflecting the issue]

The facsimile reception notification system of the present invention includes a private electronic branch exchange that accommodates a multi-function telephone and is capable of simultaneous operation of a line switching function such as a voice communication mechanism and a conversation function related to function control data of an information processing device and a private branch electronic exchange; In an information processing communication system that combines a facsimile machine that can be controlled from the device and an information processing device, a private electronic branch exchange controls the input/output of a multifunction telephone and performs conversations regarding function control data with the information processing device. The facsimile device has a control information management means, and the facsimile device has a device management means for controlling the facsimile device from the information processing device. , a receiver identification means for identifying a receiver and a caller using numerical information and controlling the multifunction telephone, and a reception management file section for managing information about the receiver and the caller.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile reception notification system according to the present invention. The main parts of this facsimile reception notification system include an information processing device 1, a reception management file unit 2, a facsimile machine 3, a multifunction telephone 4, and a private electronic branch exchange 5.

The information processing device 1 includes a facsimile control unit 11 that sends and receives image information to and from the facsimile device 3, a number recognition unit 12 that recognizes numbers from the sent image information, and a number recognition unit 12 that identifies a receiver and a sender from the number information. The receiver identification means 13 is configured to provide instructions to the multi-function telephone.

The reception management file unit 2 is provided on an external storage device, and includes a recipient information file 21 for identifying the recipient, a sender information file 22 for identifying the sender,
A numeric character information file 23 for numeric identification is stored.

The facsimile device 3 includes a device management means 31 that controls the facsimile device from the information processing device 1.

The private electronic branch exchange 5 is configured with a control information management means 51 that controls the multifunction telephone and communicates with the information processing device.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the reception management file section 2. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 2A, the recipient information file 21 stores a plurality of entries, each entry being a recipient number, a recipient name, and a telephone number closest to the recipient.

In FIG. 2(b), the recipient information file 22 stores a plurality of entries, one entry being a sender number and a sender name.

Furthermore, in FIG. 2(c), the numerical character information file 2
3 stores characters to be recognized, one entry for the first character position and the number of characters, and two entries for the recipient and the sender.

Next, the operation of the above facsimile reception notification system will be explained.

When you write the recipient number and sender number on a special document sending form, add them to the beginning of the sending document, and send the document by facsimile, the facsimile machine 3 receives only the first document sending form, and the device management means 31 The data is sent from the facsimile control means 11 to the numeric identification means 12. The second and subsequent pages of the document are output from the facsimile machine as usual. When the last page is output, the facsimile control means 11 transfers the document sending form to the device management means 3.
1 to a facsimile machine.

The number recognition means 12 recognizes the recipient's number and the sender's power number from the image information based on the information in the number and character information file 23 and passes them to the recipient identification means 13.

The recipient identification means 13 searches the recipient information file 21 for the recipient's name and telephone number based on the recipient number, and searches the sender information file 22 for the sender's name based on the sender number. Then, control information is sent to the control information management means 51 to cause the lamp of the function key 41 of the multifunction telephone 4 closest to the searched recipient to blink, and to display the recipient name and caller name alternately on the display screen 42. send.

As described above, the lamp of the function key 41 of the multi-function telephone 4 flashes and the recipient name and caller name are displayed alternately on the display screen 42, so that it is possible to send the facsimile document to whom the facsimile document was sent. You can know as soon as you receive the form. After confirming the facsimile reception notification, press the flashing function key 41 to stop the flashing of the function key 41 lamp and display screen 4.
2 returns to normal.

The above operations can be used simultaneously with the original functions of the multi-function telephone 4, such as outgoing, incoming, and conversation, so it is possible to know whether a facsimile has been received even while answering a telephone call.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention outputs the first page of a received facsimile document last, identifies the recipient and the sender using an information processing device, and turns on the function key lamp of the multifunction telephone closest to the recipient. By blinking and displaying the recipient's name and the sender's name alternately, you can know which facsimile document is addressed to you at the same time as you receive the facsimile. Furthermore, since the document delivery form is at the top when the user retrieves the document, it is easy to search for the document addressed to him/her.
