Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for the addition of a facsimile transmission document by informing a character code of an optional pattern to the facsimile store and forward exchange. CONSTITUTION:When the user UA sends a text to the user UB, a facsimile terminal equipment TA stores a text M to a facsimile store and forward exchange 10. Noticed information 15 is analyzed into a sender subscriber number, a destination subscriber number and text picture information or the like by a reception control section 11 and text management information 16 is managed by a text management section 12. A distribution control section 13 analyzes the information 16 and gives an optional character pattern comprising character information, a sender user name character code and a destination user name character code registered in advance in a fixed character pattern control section 14 based on the sender subscriber number and the destination subscriber number to the text picture information as a facsimile image when the text M is distributed to the facsimile terminal equipment TB retrieved by the destination subscriber number. Thus, an individual name is given and the addition of the facsimile transmission document is not required, then the communication cost for the addition of the document is reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile store and forward system, and more particularly to a facsimile store and forward system that stores facsimile message information and delivers it to a specified destination.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of facsimile store-and-forward system, when outputting character information of sender and destination subscribers as a facsimile image, the facsimile store-and-forward device uses the subscriber number assigned to the subscriber as a key. It was outputting character information in a fixed pattern that was registered in advance.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When the above-mentioned conventional facsimile storage and forwarding method is used for Hishines, the subscribers registered in the facsimile storage and forwarding device are often assigned to each department in order to identify the originating and destination facsimile terminals. , it is not possible to point to a specific individual belonging to the relevant department, and if individuals are registered as subscribers, the number of subscribers increases, making it difficult to manage subscribers and keep track of subscriber numbers. was there.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the facsimile storage and forwarding method of the present invention, when transmitting message information received from a source facsimile terminal to a distribution destination facsimile terminal, character information of subscriber information of the source and distribution destination is converted into a facsimile image, and the message information is sent to a facsimile image. In the facsimile storage and forwarding device attached to information, a receiving means receives character information sent from the sender's facsimile terminal together with the sender's and destination subscriber numbers, and manages the received character information in units of messages. The apparatus includes a management means, and a distribution means for converting the character information managed by the management means into a facsimile image and outputting the facsimile image when transmitting a message.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, subscribers SA and SB who use facsimile terminals TA and TB are registered in the facsimile storage and forwarding device 10 in a preliminary character code. When sending a message M to user UA in subscriber SA or user UB in subscriber SB via facsimile storage and exchange bag W10, user U
a reception control unit 11 that analyzes the notification information 15 notified by the facsimile terminal TA used by A; and a reception control unit 1
1; a delivery control unit 13 that delivers the message M to the facsimile terminal TB used by the subscriber SB based on the message management information 16; Fixed pattern control unit 1 for assigning fixed character patterns of subscribers SA and SH to
4.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

When the user UA sends a message to the user UB, the user UA stores the message M in the facsimile storage/exchange bag W10 using the facsimile terminal TA according to the operation example shown in FIG. The facsimile terminal TA notifies the facsimile storage and forwarding device 10 of the extension shown in FIG. The notification information 15 is sent to the reception control unit 11
The source subscriber number 17, the source user name character code 18, the destination subscriber number 19, the destination user name character code 20. Analyzed into message image information 21, message management information 1
6 is managed by the message management unit 12 according to the management method shown in FIG. The distribution control unit 13 analyzes the management information 16 and selects the facsimile terminal T searched based on the distribution destination subscriber number 19.
When delivering the message M to B, the fixed character pattern control unit 14 uses the sender subscriber number 17 and the delivery destination subscriber number 19.
An arbitrary character pattern based on the character information registered in advance, the sender user name character code 18, and the distribution destination user name character code 20 is made into a facsimile image and given to the telegraphic image information 21. FIG. 5 shows an output example of the character pattern 22 added to the message 23 distributed by the above-described method.

In this way, the character code can be converted from the originating facsimile terminal to the facsimile storage and forwarding device by converting it into a character code within the facsimile machine by pressing a character key, or by directly inputting the character code by the originating subscriber. By notifying, an arbitrary pattern of character information can be added to the message that the originating subscriber wants to send to the destination subscriber.

In this embodiment, when only the input character pattern is distributed (no message required), the sender is not limited to a facsimile terminal, but can communicate with media such as a telephone computer.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention notifies the facsimile storage and forwarding device of an arbitrary pattern of character codes.
An individual's name can be assigned, and there is no need to attach a facsimile cover sheet, which is generally done when sending a facsimile, which has the effect of reducing communication costs.
