Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily recognize the entire information visually in a short time by storing management information relating to internal information such as automatic answering recording information and sending the management information to an external facsimile equipment with remote control from the external facsimile equipment. CONSTITUTION:A call for remote control from an external facsimile equipment is detected by a communication section 2 and an extraction instruction of automatic answering recording information is received, then the automatic answering recording information of an automatic answering recording information table stored in a storage section 3 is sent from the communication section 2. Thus, all the automatic answering recording information for remote control is recognized visually easily in a short time at the remote control side in a form of simple information such as number of items.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile machine that can be operated remotely. [Prior Art] Conventionally, for example, in order to retrieve the answering machine information of a facsimile machine with an answering machine by remote operation, predetermined code information is transmitted from an external telephone to the facsimile machine.
This activates the answering machine, plays the recorded message, and listens to it. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above conventional example, when there is a large number of voicemail information, it takes time to recognize all the information, and it is impossible to know only the number of voicemail information. , and had the disadvantage of lacking in convenience● Also, the same disadvantage existed not only for answering machine information, but also for other large amounts of internal information. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can easily grasp internal information through remote operation and has improved convenience. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention includes a storage unit that stores management information regarding predetermined internal information, and when an internal information retrieval command is received by remote operation from an external facsimile machine, the information is stored in the storage unit. A feature of this system is that it sends the management information stored in the system to an external facsimile device. [Operation] According to the present invention, by providing a storage unit that stores management information regarding internal information, when an internal information retrieval command is received remotely from an external facsimile, the management information stored in the storage unit can be retrieved. Send to external facsimile. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. This facsimile machine includes a control section l such as a CPU, a communication section 2 for communicating with the outside, a storage section 3 for storing information, an operation section 4 for inputting information, etc., and a recording section for message recording. , and an answering machine section 5 that performs playback. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation when an answering machine receives a call in the answering mode. First, in the absence mode, when an incoming call is detected from the communication unit 2 (S4). The answering machine unit 5 is activated to record the incoming message (S5), and then, as shown in FIG. and memorize the call time (S6). The above operations are performed every time a call arrives.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation when remote operation is performed from an external facsimile device. First, the communication section 2 detects an incoming call for remote operation from an external facsimile device (si), and then receives a command to retrieve the answering machine information from the remote operation side (32), which stores it in the storage section 3. The communication unit 2 transmits the answering machine information in the answering machine information table (S3).
.. From this, the remote operation side can recognize all voicemail information of remote operation, even if it is simple information such as the number of messages.
It can be easily and quickly recognized visually. In addition, although the above embodiment describes a configuration in which information regarding the answering machine is transmitted by remote operation, other information may be transmitted by remote operation. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of this other embodiment. First, start with the phonebook entry mode of the facsimile machine with phonebook (
In S7), the telephone directory information table shown in FIG.
Enter your name and phone number from the operation unit 4 (S8). Then, by receiving a command to retrieve telephone directory information by remote operation from an external facsimile device, the telephone directory information is transmitted from the communication section 2 in the same manner as the procedure shown in FIG. 4 above. This makes it possible to refer to the telephone directory information stored in the facsimile with telephone directory using an external facsimile device. It goes without saying that the information inside the facsimile can be communicated remotely by changing the withdrawal commands, as in this example. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, management information regarding internal information such as answering machine information is stored in the storage unit,
When a command to retrieve internal information is received by remote operation from an external facsimile device, by sending the management information in the storage unit to the external facsimile device, the entire information can be visually recognized easily and in a short time. ..
