Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the time required by each facsimile equipment for making multi- address communication at each address of facsimile multi-address communication by successively repeating reception and transmission between each facsimile equipment in such a way that an original and transmitting address data are transmitted to the facsimile equipment at one transmitting address and the facsimile equipment at the address transmits the received information to the next facsimile equipment by referring to the transferring address data. CONSTITUTION:A total of (n) pieces of facsimile equipment numbers of transferring addresses is designated to transferring facsimile equipment 1 before transmitting an original 3 and the equipment 1 transmits the original 3 and transferring address data 41 containing facsimile equipment numbers to which the original 3 has not been transmitted to the first designated transmitted facsimile equipment 2. Upon receiving the original 3 and data 41, the equipment 2 outputs the original 3 and, at the same time, automatically calls and connects the second designated transmitted facsimile equipment 5 by referring to the data 41. Then the equipment 2 transmits the original and the data 41 from which the number of the equipment 5 is deleted to the equipment 5. Since each called facsimile equipment transmits the original 3 in such way, the original 3 is successively transmitted to facsimile equipment at multiple addresses.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile transmission method, and more particularly to a facsimile broadcast method for transmitting the same document to a plurality of pre-specified destinations.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of facsimile broadcast method sends a message from a sender's facsimile to multiple destinations specified in advance.
The method used was to send the same manuscript one part at a time.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the conventional facsimile broadcasting method, the source facsimile machine 7 transmits the document 9 to all the destination facsimile machines 8 in order, so it takes a long time until the broadcast is finished. Facsimile 7 is exclusively used.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional facsimile broadcasting method described above has problems with one transmission purpose, especially as the number of broadcast destinations increases.
The disadvantage is that the destination facsimile is occupied for a long time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The facsimile broadcasting method of the present invention transmits destination data including a manuscript and other pre-designated destination facsimile numbers to one destination, and Then, refer to the recipient's facsimile or the destination data, send the original and the remaining destination data to one of the unsent destinations, and then send the original and the remaining destination data to the pre-specified destinations one after another. The present invention is characterized in that the same document is transmitted to a plurality of pre-designated destinations by executing a procedure for transmitting data.

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

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the sender facsimile 1 is specified with n destination facsimile numbers before sending the document, and the destination facsimile 2, which contains the document 3 and unsent facsimile numbers, is sent to the specified first destination facsimile 2. Send 41. Destination facsimile 2 receives document 3 from source facsimile 1
and destination data 41, outputs the original document 3, refers to the destination data 41, and automatically calls and connects the second destination facsimile 5.

Then, together with the document 3, the destination data 42 from which the facsimile IJ number of the second destination being connected is deleted is transmitted. The facsimile called up in this way repeats transmissions by referring to the reception output and destination data, and transmits one after another. The last nth destination facsimile machine 6 receives and outputs only the original document 3, and the broadcast ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention transmits a document and destination data to one of a plurality of destinations specified in advance, and then the receiving side facsimile machine receives the data. By referring to the received destination data and transmitting it to other destinations, and then repeating reception and transmission one after another, it is possible to shorten the exclusive time of the destination facsimile in facsimile broadcasting.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Destination data including the original and other pre-specified destination facsimile numbers is sent to a single destination, and then the receiving facsimile refers to the destination data and sends information to unsent destinations. Send the original and the remaining destination data to one of the destinations, and then execute the procedure to send the original and the remaining destination data to the pre-specified destinations one after another. A facsimile broadcasting method characterized by transmitting a manuscript.
