[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, as mentioned above, when executing each function, you must operate the keys. It is very troublesome because it is necessary to perform the registration operation. multiple machines This is especially true if you use other functions or if you are unfamiliar with the operation. Furthermore, the same at a later date To execute the function of the content, you have to repeat the same key operation again. There are no drawbacks. Also, while registering by key operation, sending and receiving will not be accepted. Therefore, the more time it takes to operate keys for registration, the more time it will take to receive and send data. This is undesirable as it will result in a prolonged period of unattached conditions.

0004 In addition, although it does not have various sending functions, the parent facsimile machine can use the above various sending functions. Even on facsimile machines that act on your behalf, key operations are required as part of the process on your behalf. Because it is important, it also has the disadvantage of being bothersome. In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this invention enables the registration of various functions quickly and reliably. The purpose is to provide a facsimile machine that can

In a facsimile machine that performs the above various transmission functions on behalf of the facsimile machine , a dedicated reading section for reading the contents entered on the registration sheet, and a reading section for reading from the registration sheet. means for registering the type of transmitted function and the information group necessary to execute the function; It is characterized by having the following.

[0006]

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, even if various functions are executed or substituted for the parent facsimile machine, The trouble of having to operate a group of keys on the operation panel when be freed from In other words, the user specifies the type and type of sending function requested on the registration sheet. and the information necessary to execute the function, and have it read by a dedicated reader. The registered operation is executed by simply pressing the button, eliminating the need for complicated key operations on the operation panel. Freed from selfishness.

[0007] In addition, when registration is temporary, the function with the same content may be reused later. When executing the above, it is only necessary to read the saved registration sheet again. On the other hand, when making the registration permanent, the same function can be executed again later. When doing so, for example, the registered content may be called up using a registered content call key. Furthermore, since key operations are not required for registration, transmission and reception can be performed during key operations. There is no problem that the operation stops. It also has a dedicated reading section for the registration sheet. Because the facsimile machine itself has a reading section, the reading speed is The occurrence of errors will be significantly reduced and the reliability of reading will be improved.

[0008] In addition, although it does not have various sending functions, the parent facsimile machine can use the above various sending functions. Even on facsimile machines that act on your behalf, key operations for the process on your behalf are becomes unnecessary.

【Example】 An embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows based on FIGS. 1 and 2. Ru. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic circuit configuration of a facsimile machine. The Kushimi device is connected to a control unit 1, a RAM 2, an auto dialer 3, and a telephone line 5. The connected NCU 4, reading section 6, modem 7, recording section 8, ROM 9, and operation Consisting of a work panel 10, a display section 11, and a reading section 12 dedicated to registration sheets. has been done.

0010 The control unit 1 controls this facsimile based on the control program stored in the ROM 9. It controls the transmitting and receiving operations of the device, and the basic transmitting operations are outlined below. This is how it is done. The operator can press a shortcut key (not shown) on the operation panel 10 or a one-touch die. When the dial key is operated, the control unit 1 reads the telephone number of the other party registered in the RAM 2. The read telephone number is sent to the telephone via the auto dialer 3 and NCU 4. A dial call is made to telephone line 5. Then, after dialing, the reading unit 6 The image information of the read original is sent to the telephone line 5 via the modem 7 and NCU 4 and the sending operation is performed.

[0011] On the other hand, the reception operation is performed as follows. i.e. telephone line 5, NCU 4 and modem 7 from the other party, the control unit 1 receives the received information. Based on the received information, the recording unit 8 is driven to perform a recording operation. Ru. The dedicated reading section 12 reads the contents written on the registration sheet 13. For example, an optical reader is used. Also, registration sheet 13 It is equipped with a sensing section (not shown) that automatically detects insertion, and starts reading automatically. The sea urchin is turning. The sensing part is, for example, a switch that is activated by being shielded from light by a registration sheet. , or a switch that is activated by being pressed by the registration sheet 13.

0012 What is the content read by the dedicated reading unit 12, that is, registration, modification, or deletion? is requested, as well as the type of transmission function requested and the function to be implemented. The information group necessary for the process is decoded by the control unit 1, and the decoded contents are stored in the RAM 2. It is now registered in . The registration sheet 13 has a format as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and has a prescribed size. It is compatible with the dedicated reading section 12. The top of registration sheet 13 The upper row contains selection items for registration, modification, and deletion, as well as broadcast transmission and timed transmission. function selection items consisting of transmission, relay transmission, and group, and date and time for specifying the time. There are items for the time and minutes, speed dial items for selecting destinations, and items for the time and minutes. Numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 for specifying speed dial numbers A corresponding entry area is provided at the bottom of each item. It is being According to the mark status in Figure 2, registration is requested and the registration request content is Indicates that it is a broadcast transmission, there is no specified time, and the recipient is an abbreviated number 23 and 02. The content indicates that there are four cases: No. 1, No. 11, and No. 15. Please note that the above registration The recording sheet 13 is common to several types of functions, but there is a dedicated recording sheet for each function. It is a good item.

[0013] In the above configuration, the registration sheet 13 is inserted into the insertion slot of the dedicated reading section 12. Then, the dedicated reading section 12 automatically detects the insertion of the sheet and fills out the sheet 13. Start loading content. The control unit 11 decodes the read content and, for example, The control unit 11 detects the total number of registered items so far, and if the total number is 4, the registration number The decoded content is registered in the RAM 2 as No. 5, and the registration number is displayed on the display unit 11. Display number 5. At this time, assuming that sheet 13 has the content described above, If the registration number shown is number 5 as mentioned above, the user may The format is similar to the abbreviated number table, and number 5 is for broadcast transmission, and the recipients are abbreviated numbers 23 and 02. Create a memo with information such as numbers 11 and 15.

[0014] On the other hand, when calling up the registered contents, the registration By repeatedly pressing the record call key 10a, the registration number is updated sequentially on the display unit 11. It will be updated and displayed. Here, the abbreviated numbers are 23, 02, 11, and 15. When broadcast transmission is to be performed sequentially to four parties, the registration number 5 will be displayed on the display unit 11. Press the registration call key 10a repeatedly until it is displayed. Then, it is registered on the display section 11. With record number 5 displayed, press the communication key (not shown) to control the The control unit 11 will sequentially broadcast the contents of registration number 5. That is, the original The originals set on the draft table are read in order, their contents are stored in RAM2, and then First, dial the first destination (number 23 in the abbreviated number) to send the message, and then Dial to the other party (abbreviated number 02) and send the same content one after another to update. Then, the same process will be executed for abbreviated numbers 11 and 15 as well.

[0015] As described above, according to the present invention, the user can send the requested information on the registration sheet 13. Enter the type of function and the information necessary to execute the function, and make it read-only. The registered operation is executed simply by having the read section 12 read the information, so select the function and enter it. If you have to perform complicated operations on the keys on the operation panel 10 to set the You will be freed from such troubles. Additionally, key operations for registration become unnecessary. , the sending and receiving operations of the facsimile machine are stopped during key operations. Problem avoided.

[0016] In addition, since it is equipped with a reading section 12 dedicated to the registration sheet, it is possible to use the facsimile itself. Compared to the case where the body reading section 6 is also used to read the registration sheet, reading errors are less likely to occur. The reading will be significantly reduced and the reliability of reading will be improved. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the registered contents are called up and registered using the registration call key 10a. Since the content can be executed, there is no need to use the same function over and over again. If you do so, it will be very easy to use.

[0017] On the other hand, when the registration is temporary, that is, when the registered contents are not carried out. For example, if you want to erase the registered contents, the registration call key 10a is Not necessary. In such a case, when executing the same function again later, , the saved registration sheet 13 may be read again. In addition, the registered call Even if the output key 10a is provided, by saving the registration sheet 13, you can If the registered contents are lost due to can be restored instantly.

[0018] In addition, in this embodiment, the control unit 11 detects the total number of registrations up to now and determines the total number of registrations. If there are 4, the registration number 5 is displayed on the display unit 11, but if the user A pre-specified number (for example, the registration number entry field provided on the registration sheet 13 (as shown) It is also possible to use the number written in the box (not shown) as the registration number. Also , the dedicated reading section 12 detects the insertion of the registration sheet 13 and automatically reads its contents. For example, if a registration key (not shown) is pressed. It may also be configured to start reading when the

[0019] To change the registration details, mark the "Change" section on registration sheet 13 and also For example, enter the registration number you want to change in the registration number entry column (not shown) provided on the registration sheet 13. By entering the registration number of the recorded content and marking the content that should be changed, you can read it. Changes can be made without any key operations. The same applies to deletion, but In the case of deletion, mark the "Delete" part of registration sheet 13 and select the registration you want to delete. All you need to do is fill in the registration number of the content.

[0020] Although it does not have various sending functions, the parent facsimile machine can use the above various sending functions. Even on facsimile machines that act on your behalf, key operations for the process on your behalf are becomes unnecessary.
