Abstract

PURPOSE:To display a caller corresponding to each user when one facsimile equipment is used by plural parties. CONSTITUTION:Two sets of caller information are stored in advance in a memory 2 by the operation of an operation panel 10 and when a caller display key 10b is closed, the main sender display information is sent and when a sub caller selection key 10c is closed, the sub caller display information is sent. Thus, it is possible to select a desired display among plural caller displays and to display the caller without troubling the operator.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having a sender display function.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, facsimile machines have been known to have a sender display function. The sender display function is, for example, a function that displays "A Clothing Store" in the upper corner of the sent document that the recipient receives by entering "A Clothing Store" in advance in the sender registration. This means that the recipient of the manuscript can easily know the recipient's address at a glance. As described above, due to the nature of the sender display function, it is sufficient to send one registered sender information at the time of transmission, and even in conventional facsimile machines, there were no other facsimile machines that had a higher function. .

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, there is no problem if the facsimile machine installed at clothing store A is used only for the business of clothing store A, but for example, Even when a family member or customer wants to use the service for personal use, there is an inconvenience that "Clothing Store A" is displayed on the sender's display. On the other hand, if this problem were to be avoided, it would be necessary to change the registration of the sender display every time the user wants to use the service for personal use, which would be extremely troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile machine that can register a plurality of senders and select one of them as necessary.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention includes means for setting a plurality of sender displays, and a means for setting a plurality of sender displays, and a means for setting a sender display from among the plurality of sender displays. The present invention is characterized in that it includes means for selecting a source, and means for transmitting information indicating the selected sender.

[0006]

[Operation] According to the above configuration, for example, when a facsimile machine placed in clothing store A is used for business, the sender display of "Clothing store A" can be selected and sent. If you wish to use the facsimile machine for personal use, operate the selection means and select the sender name of "Taro ○○", which is the user's name, in the sender display. Can be sent.

[0007]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic circuit configuration of a facsimile machine. 8, a ROM 9, an operation panel 10, and a display section 11.

The control unit 1 is a control center that controls the entire transmission and reception operation of this facsimile machine based on the control program stored in the ROM 9, and the basic transmission operation is roughly as follows. It is carried out as follows. When the operator turns on a communication key or one-touch dial key (not shown), the control unit 1 reads out the telephone number of the other party stored in the RAM 2, and the read telephone number is sent to the telephone via the auto dialer 3 and NCU 4. A call is dialed to line 5. After dialing, a handshake is performed, and if it is determined that communication with the other party is possible, the image data of the document read by the reading unit 6 is transferred to the modem 7 and N.
It is sent to the telephone line 5 via the CU 4, and a transmission operation is performed.

On the other hand, the receiving operation is performed as follows. That is, when received information arrives from the other party via the telephone line 5, NCU 4, and modem 7, the control section 1 drives the recording section 8 to record the received information, and a receiving operation is performed. The control unit 1 is also configured to perform registration processing for displaying the sender and sender information transmission processing. To register the sender, the comment input mode for print transmission is set by operating the numeric keypad 10a of the operation panel 10. At this time, the upper part of the display unit 11 displays, for example, "Hasshinmoto Main or Sub". When registering the main sender, for example, after pressing the "0" key, the user inputs, for example, "A Iryo Hinten" by operating the numeric keypad 10a which also serves as a character input key. When you finish entering characters, press the "*" key, for example. At this time, "Main settings complete" is displayed on the display unit 11. Furthermore, when registering a sub sender, after pressing the "1" key, the user inputs, for example, "○○ Taro" using the numeric keypad, which also serves as a character input key. When you have finished entering characters, press the “*” key. These sender information are stored in the RAM 2 in ASCII code.

The operation panel 10 is also provided with a source display key 10b for selecting whether or not to display a source, and a sub source selection key 10c. When the sender display key 10b is turned on, the main sender "A Iryohinten" is automatically selected as the sender display. on the other hand,
When the sub caller selection key 10c is turned on, "○○taro" is selected as the sender display.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing sender information sending processing at the time of transmission. First, it is determined whether or not the sender display key 10b is turned on (S1).
If not, the process moves to image information transmission processing (S5), while if it is turned on, the sub source selection key 10c is turned on.
It is determined whether or not it has been set (S2). If the sub source selection key 10c is not turned on, “A
The character ASCII code of "Iryohinten" is read out and transmitted (S3), and the process moves to image information transmission processing (S5). On the other hand, if the sub-source selection key 10c is turned on,
The character ASCII code of "○○ Taro" is read out from the RAM 2 and transmitted (S4), and the process moves to image information transmission processing (S5).

When the image information transmission process is completed, the sub source selection key 10c is automatically set to OFF (S6), and the process ends. According to the above configuration, for example, when one facsimile machine placed in clothing store A is used for business, it is possible to select the sender display of "Clothing store A" and send it. In addition, if the facsimile machine is to be used for personal use, the user can select the sender's name "○○ Taro" in the sender's display and send it. Of course, this switching can be done by turning the switch ON/OFF, so there is no need to change the registration of the sender display every time you want to use it personally, unlike in the past.

[0013] In this embodiment, the number of senders that can be registered is two, but the number is not limited to this, and three or more may be used. In this case, a selection switch corresponding to each source may be provided.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to select a desired source from among a plurality of display sources and display the source without bothering the operator.
