Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize the opposite station of communicated facsimile information even if a user does not go to watch a display part on a console panel by means of a sound. CONSTITUTION:An identification signal (a) transmitted from the opposite station in the middle of a facsimile communication control procedure is received in an identification signal reception circuit 1 and is transmitted to a data conversion circuit 2 as reception data (b). The data conversion circuit 2 transmits a previously set sound data signal (c) to a sound generation circuit 3 in correspondence with reception data (b). The sound generation circuit 3 generates an audible signal (d) by the sound data signal (c) and transmits the opposite station of the identification signal (a) to the user.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine that recognizes an identification signal of a partner station communicated with in a communication control procedure.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of facsimile machine, an identification signal (telephone number) of a partner station detected during a communication control procedure is displayed on a display section on an operation panel.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an example of a conventional facsimile machine. As shown in FIG. 2, identification signals (transmitting station identification signals TSI,
The receiving station identification signal CSI)a is received by the identification signal receiving circuit 1 and sent to the data conversion circuit 4 as received data b,
The data conversion circuit 4 sends a display data signal e to the LCD display circuit 5 to be displayed on the LCD display circuit 5 based on the received data b. The LCD display circuit 5 displays the content of the identification signal a (telephone number) on the LCD based on the display data signal e,
It is communicated to users.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional facsimile machine described above, the identification signal of the other party's station is transmitted on the display section on the operation panel, so the user cannot check the other party's station in the facsimile information being communicated. has the disadvantage that the display on the operation panel must be viewed.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes an identification signal receiving circuit that receives an identification signal of a partner station communicated in a communication control procedure, and a preset voice corresponding to the received identification signal. and a sound generation circuit that outputs the data signal as an audible sound.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment includes an identification signal receiving circuit 1 that receives an identification signal a of a partner station communicated in a communication control procedure and outputs it as received data b, and a data conversion circuit that outputs an audio data signal c based on the received data b. The audio generating circuit 3 includes a circuit 2 and an audio generating circuit 3 that generates an audio signal c based on an audio data signal c.

[0008] The operation of the facsimile machine with such a configuration will be explained. The identification signal a (transmitting station identification signal TSI or receiving station identification signal CSI) sent from the other station during the facsimile communication control procedure is received by the identification signal receiving circuit 1, and is received by the data converting circuit 2 as received data b.
The data conversion circuit 2 sends a preset audio data signal c corresponding to the received data b to the audio generation circuit 3. The audio generation circuit 3 generates an audible audio signal d based on the audio data signal c, and transmits the content of the identification signal a to the user.

[0009] In this way, when the document transmission is completed, the user is informed by voice, ``○○ document has been sent to △△ number'', and when the document reception is finished, the user is informed ``○○ document has been received from △△ number''. It can be output to.

0010

As explained above, the present invention enables communication without the user having to go to look at the display on the operation panel by outputting an audio signal generated in response to the identification signal of the other station. You can confirm by voice which station the facsimile information is being sent to.
