DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

First, the hardware configuration of a facsimile machine (G4 facsimile machine) to which the present invention is applied will be explained with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a scanner that reads document information and converts it into electrical signal image information, and 2 is a scanner that encodes image information using an encoding method with a high compression rate or decodes encoded image information. codec (CODEC); 3 is an image storage memory that stores compressed image information to be transmitted or received image information; 4 is a G4 control unit that outputs protocol signals of the G4 facsimile machine to control communication with the other party; 5 extracts the called number from the call control message, determines whether it matches the called number and subaddress registered in its own machine, and if they match, allows the call or connects it to the ISDN network. ISDN, which coordinates communication between
This is the control section.

Further, 6 is a printer that prints out the received image information on paper, 7 is an operation panel having a numeric keypad, function keys, a display section, etc., and 8 is a system control section that controls the overall operation of the facsimile machine. The system control unit 8 includes a CPU 8a, a ROM 8b, and a RAM 8c.

In the facsimile machine having the above configuration, when a call is received via the ISDN network, the ISDN control unit 5 notifies the system control unit 8 of the reception and other information contained in the call. When the system control section 8 receives this notification, it notifies the ISDN control section 5 of permission to receive the call, and activates the G4 control section 4. The G4 control unit 4 starts communication with the other party's device according to the protocol.

[0023] When the communication using the protocol is successful, the process moves on to receiving image information. When image information is received, this image information is stored in the image storage memory 3. After the communication is completed, the system control unit 8 executes the function corresponding to the subaddress of the called party number.

The present invention uses subaddresses to enable special additional functions to be specified even between facsimile machines of different manufacturers.The principle of the present invention will be explained with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. do. In addition, in the figure, Figure 2
Items that are the same as or equivalent to are given the same reference numerals.

Reference numeral 5a denotes a destination subaddress extraction section in the ISDN control section 5, which extracts a destination subaddress from the D channel of the received message. 8d is the destination subaddress extraction unit 5
It is determined whether the destination sub-address from a is registered in this facsimile machine, and if it is registered, it activates the G4 control unit 4 and selects an additional function based on the destination sub-address. It is a function conversion section.

[0026] The subaddress-function converter 8d includes:
For example, a conversion table as shown in FIG. 3 is stored. This conversion table stores additional functions corresponding to the destination subaddress. In the illustrated example, the destination sub-addresses are 5111, 5112, 5113, . . . , and the additional functions for each are confidential, relay broadcast, remote multi-copy, etc. The above conversion table can be registered from the operation panel 7.

8e is the sub-address-function converter 8d.
This is a function execution unit that executes the function specified by.

Examples of the present invention will be explained in detail below. A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. This embodiment is an example in which the destination subaddress is "5111", and FIG. 4 shows a functional block diagram of the function execution unit 8e.

When a call arrives at the destination sub-address "5111", the destination sub-address extraction section 5a extracts the destination sub-address "5111" from the received message and sends it to the sub-address-function conversion section 8d. The sub-address-function conversion section 8d detects that this destination sub-address is registered in FIG. Additionally, the additional function is selected from the destination sub-address and the content of the function is sent to the function execution unit 8.
The data is sent to the confidentiality control unit 11 in e. In response, the confidential control unit 11 outputs a file number write instruction a to the file number storage unit 16. When the file number storage unit 16 receives the file number write instruction a, it stores the file number, registers the file number c in the file storage unit 12, and secures a storage area for the file number.

On the other hand, the image data received from the other party's device by the operation of the G4 control section 4 is stored in the storage area of the file number secured as described above. When the reception of the image data is completed and the user inputs his or her own password g from the operation panel 7, the password comparison unit 14 compares the input password with the password h registered in the password storage unit 13 in advance. If they match, a confidential print instruction i is output to the confidential control unit 11.

When the confidential control unit 11 receives this instruction, it issues a file number reading instruction b to the file number storage unit 16. The file number storage unit 16 reads out the file number in accordance with this, and specifies the file to be read from the file storage unit 12. Further, the confidential control unit 11 issues a read instruction d to the file storage unit 12 and activates the printer 6.

Through the above operations, the image data in the file storage section 12 is sent to the printer 6 and printed out. When reading of the designated file is completed, a file reading end signal e is output from the file storage section 12 to the confidential control section 11. When the confidential control unit 11 receives the file read end signal e, the printer stop signal k
is output and the operation of the printer 6 is stopped.

Next, the confidential control unit 11 outputs a file number read instruction b to the file number storage unit 16, designates the file number in the file storage unit 12, and issues a file deletion instruction f. As a result, the image data stored in the file storage section 12 in the file number is deleted.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the confidential function can be instructed by the destination sub-address, confidential communication can be performed even between facsimile machines of different manufacturers.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. This embodiment is an example in which the destination subaddress is "5112",
A functional block diagram of the function execution unit 8e is shown.

When a call arrives at the called subaddress "5112", the function memory selection section 8d selects the additional function "relay broadcast" from the called subaddress, and stores the contents of the additional function in the function execution section 8.
It is sent to the relay broadcast control unit 21 in e. Relay broadcast control unit 21
Thereafter, outputs a file number write instruction a to the file number storage section 16. When the file number storage unit 16 receives the file number write instruction a, it stores the file number, registers the file number in the file storage unit 12, and secures the corresponding storage area.

Subsequently, similarly to the first embodiment, the received image data is accumulated in the secured area. When the reception is completed, the relay broadcast control unit 21 issues a read instruction b to the file number storage unit 16. The file number storage section 16 indicates the file number in the file storage section 12. Further, the relay broadcast control unit 21 outputs a destination read instruction p to the broadcast destination storage unit 22. Broadcast destination storage unit 22
In response to this, reads the pre-registered broadcast destination and sends the destination r to the transmission control section 23.

When the relay broadcast control unit 21 sends a transmission instruction signal m to the transmission control unit 23, the transmission control unit 23 calls out the broadcast destination based on the destination r. When the broadcast destination is called, the image data read from the file storage section 12 according to the read instruction d from the relay broadcast control section 21 is transmitted to the broadcast destination via the transmission control section 23. .

When the transmission is finished, the transmission control section 23 outputs a transmission end signal n to the relay broadcast control section 21. At this time,
When the address reading end signal q is output from the broadcast destination storage unit 22, the relay broadcast control unit 21 determines that all broadcasts have been completed, and the relay broadcast control unit 21 issues a file deletion instruction f. The file is output to the file storage unit 12 and deleted. If the destination reading end signal q is not output, the above operation is repeated and the data is transmitted to the next multicast destination.

As described above, in this embodiment as well, the first
As in the embodiment, since the relay broadcasting function can be instructed by the destination sub-address, relay broadcasting can be performed even between facsimile machines of different manufacturers.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. This example is an example where the destination subaddress is "5113",
A functional block diagram of the function execution unit 8e is shown.

When a call arrives at the destination sub-address "5113", the function memory selection section 8d converts the sub-address to function conversion section 8.
Select the additional function "remote multi-copy" from d, and send the contents of the function to the remote multi-copy control section 31 in the function execution section 8e. The remote multi-copy control unit 31 then outputs a file number write instruction a to the file number storage unit 16. When the file number storage unit 16 receives the file number write instruction a, it stores the file number, registers the file number in the file storage unit 12, and secures a storage area.

[0043]Subsequently, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the received image data is accumulated in the secured area. When the reception is completed, the remote multi-copy control section 31 outputs a copy number readout signal u to the copy number subtraction section 33. Copy number subtraction unit 33 Based on this signal, the number of copies t is read out from the copy number storage unit 32 and stored. It is assumed that the number of copies s is set in the copy number storage section 32 from the operation panel 7 in advance.

Next, the remote multi-copy control unit 31
issues a file number read instruction b to the file number storage section 16. The file number storage unit 16 indicates the file number c to the file storage unit 12. Next, the remote multi-copy control unit 31 issues a read instruction d to the file storage unit 12 and activates the printer 6.

Through the above operations, the image data in the file storage section 12 is sent to the printer 6 and printed out. When one printout is completed, printer 1
5 outputs a print end signal x to the remote multi-copy control unit 31. When the remote multi-copy control section 31 receives the print end signal x, it outputs a decrement signal v to the copy number subtraction section 33 to subtract 1 from the number of copies.

If the subtraction result w is 1 or more, the remote multi-copy control section 31 again sends a file read instruction d to the file storage section 12 and a print instruction j to the printer 6. As a result, the second sheet is printed out. Then, in the same manner as described above, the number of copies is subtracted by 1 in the copy number subtraction unit 33.

When the above operation is repeatedly executed and the value of the copy number subtraction unit 33 becomes 0, the remote multi-copy control unit 31 determines that all multi-copying has been completed, and sends the file deletion instruction f to the file storage unit. Output to 12. The file storage unit 12 then deletes the file.

As described above, in this embodiment as well, the first
As in the embodiment, remote multi-copy instructions can be given using the subaddress in the called party number, so remote multi-copy instructions can be executed even between facsimile machines of different manufacturers.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. In this embodiment, the color to be printed out and its area can be specified using subaddresses.

In the figure, 41 is a sub-address-color/area conversion section, 42 is a print control section, and other symbols are the same as or equivalent to those in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The sub-address-color/area converter 41 stores a conversion table as shown in FIG. 8 or 9, for example. In the example of FIG. 8, a print color and an area to be printed with that color are registered corresponding to the subaddress. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 9, the upper 3 subaddresses
The print color is specified for the digit, and the last 4 of the sub address
The area is defined in the digit.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained. When there is an incoming call, the called sub-address extractor 5a extracts the called sub-address and sends it to the sub-address-color/area converter 41. The sub-address-color/area conversion unit 41 converts the destination sub-address into a print color and area by referring to the conversion table shown in FIG. 8 or 9. The conversion tables shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 can be registered from the operation panel 7.

If the conversion table shown in FIG. 8 is registered, for example, if the subaddress is "100", the print color is "red", and the area (20,50) to (60,100) is
The instruction data of mm is sent to the print control section 42. When the print control unit 42 receives this instruction data, it instructs the printer to print an area corresponding to the area of the image data inputted from the image storage memory 3 with red toner, and print other areas with black toner. Make it 6. The printer 6 prints according to this instruction. In addition, the above (20, 50)
mm indicates that the X coordinate is 20 mm and the Y coordinate is 50 mm. The same applies to other numerical values.

Furthermore, when the conversion tables shown in FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b) are registered in the sub-address-color/area converter 41, for example, the sub-address is "1012222".
If so, the upper 3 digits "101" specify the print color "blue", and the lower 4 digits "2222" specify the area (
90,70) to (300,350) mm is specified. This designation data is sent to the print control section 42. When the print control unit 42 receives this instruction data, it instructs the printer to print an area corresponding to the area of the image data input from the image storage memory 3 with blue toner, and print other areas with black toner. Make it 6. The printer 6 prints according to this instruction.

In this embodiment, the upper three digits were used to specify the print color and the lower four digits were used to specify the area, but by reversing this, the upper four digits were used to specify the area and the lower three digits were used to specify the print color. May be used.

[0056] Also, the subaddress-color/area converter 41
If the toner of the designated print color is not set in the printer 6, the print control section 42 sends a toner not set signal z (see FIG. 7) to the subaddress/color/area conversion section 41. When the sub-address-color/area conversion unit 41 receives this signal z, it registers a signal indicating that reception is not possible in the corresponding column of print color in FIGS. 8 and 9.
It is possible to reject future calls.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the size of paper to be printed out can be specified using subaddresses.

In the figure, 51 is a sub-address-to-recording paper conversion section, 52 is a special size-to-standard size conversion section, and 53 is a print control section, and other symbols are the same as or equivalent to those in FIGS. 1 and 2.

A conversion table as shown in FIG. 11 is stored in the subaddress-recording paper conversion section 51. That is, the sub-address and recording paper size are registered in correspondence. For example, the subaddress “101
" is the first special paper size (for example, legal size), and the subaddress "201" is the standard paper size "B".
4 size", the sub address "301" has the tray number,
A second special paper size and the like are registered in the sub-address "401". The table shown in FIG. 11 can be registered from the operation panel 7.

Further, the special size-standard size conversion section 52 stores a conversion table as shown in FIG. For example, a first standard size is registered as the first special paper size, a second standard size is registered as the second special paper size, and so on. As will become clear from the description below, this special size/standard size converter 52 is used to successfully communicate with the other party's device using the protocol when a special paper size is selected by the subaddress/recording paper converter 51. will be needed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When there is an incoming call, the called subaddress extractor 5a extracts the called subaddress and sends it to the subaddress-recording paper converter 51. The sub-address-recording paper conversion unit 51 converts the destination sub-address into a recording paper size by referring to the conversion table shown in FIG. The converted recording paper size instruction data is sent to the print control section 53. Further, if the recording paper size is a standard size, the switch 55 is connected to the G3 control unit 4, and if the recording paper size is a special size, it is connected to the special size-standard size conversion unit 52.

[0062] There is an incoming call now, and the subaddress is "20".
1”, the subaddress-recording paper converter 51 selects “B
4 Select the size. The "B4" size instruction data is sent to the print control section 53 and the G3 control section 4. Next, the G3 control unit 4 performs protocol communication with the other party's device. At this time, the G3 control unit 4 declares that the set paper size is "B4" size. If communication using the protocol is successful, image information will be sent from the other party's device. The received image information is stored in the image storage memory 3,
When the reception of the image information is completed, the image information is read out to the print control section 53. The print control unit 53 sends "B4" size instruction data and image information to the printer 6. As a result,
The printer 6 prints out the image information on "B4" size paper.

[0063] Also, if there is another incoming call and the subaddress of this incoming call is "101", then the subaddress -
The recording paper converter 51 selects the first special size. 1st
The special size instruction data is sent to the print control section 53. When the sub-address-recording paper converter 51 selects the special size, it switches the switch 55 to the special-size-standard-size converter 52 side. As a result, the first special size is sent to the special size-standard size converter 52,
Converted to standard paper size. The standard recording paper size is sent to the G3 control section 4.

Therefore, when communicating the protocol with the other party's machine, the G3 control unit 4 declares that the set paper size is the standard recording paper size. In this way, when communication based on the protocol is successful, image information is sent from the other party's device. Thereafter, by the same operation as described above, the received image information is printed out on the first special size paper by the action of the print control section 53 and the printer 6.

As mentioned above, when a special size is selected in the subaddress/recording paper converter 51, the reason why the instruction data for the special size is sent to the special size/standard size converter 52 is that the G3 controller 4 CC the set paper size when communicating the protocol with the other machine.
This is because if a paper size not specified in ITT Recommendation T30 is declared, the communication will end in failure.

[0066] The sub-address/recording paper converter 51 obtains the remaining memory capacity information of the image storage memory 3 from the G3 control unit 4, and if the remaining memory capacity falls below a predetermined amount, the sub-address/recording paper conversion unit 51 rejects the incoming call. You can choose to reject the image information or print it out immediately without storing the image information in memory. In addition, information on the set paper size, tray number, remaining paper amount, etc. is obtained from the print control unit 53, and the sub-address-recording paper conversion unit 51 issues a request to select a paper size that is not set. When the call comes, you can reject the call.

As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to select a paper size other than the standard size using the subaddress.

Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the number of copies to be printed can be specified using a subaddress. In the figure, 61 is a sub-address-number-of-copies conversion section, 62 is a print control section, and other symbols are the same as or equivalent to those in FIGS. 1 and 2. The sub-address-number-of-copies conversion unit 61 includes:
For example, conversion tables such as those shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 are stored. In the table shown in FIG. 14, the first two digits of the subaddress are used to indicate "print multiple copies" and the last two digits are used to indicate the number of copies. Furthermore, the table in FIG. 15 uses the subaddress itself to indicate the number of copies. These conversion tables can be input from the operation panel 7.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When a call is received and the sub-address is "5003", the sub-address-number-of-copies conversion unit 61 recognizes that there is an instruction to print multiple copies by "50", and converts the lower two digits of the sub-address to "5003".
03" to select the number of copies "3". The instruction data for the number of copies “3” is sent to the print control unit 62. The print control section 62 sets a counter (not shown) to 3, and decrements the counter by 1 each time one sheet of image data from the image storage memory 3 is printed out. Then, when the value of the counter becomes 0, the printout ends.

In the above case, the first two digits of the subaddress were "50", so the instruction to print multiple copies was issued. For example, if the subaddress was "5103", the first two digits of "51" would be multiple copies. Since no instruction is given to print multiple sheets, printing of multiple sheets is ignored and only one sheet is printed.

In the case where the conversion table shown in FIG. 15 is registered in the sub-address/number-of-copies conversion section 61, if the sub-address is "4", for example, the instruction data for the number of copies "4" is sent to the print control section 62. . Print control unit 62
obtains this instruction data, and by the same operation as above,
Four copies of the image data stored in the image storage memory 3 are printed out.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the number of copies to be printed out can be specified using the subaddress.

[0073] In each of the above embodiments, the called sub-address is extracted from the call control message, and the called sub-address is converted into the additional function by a sub-address-to-function conversion unit that stores the called sub-address and the additional function in correspondence. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a called party number may be used instead of the called party subaddress.

[0074]This called number is usually NTT Corporation.
Accordingly, only one is given per line, but up to eight can be given by paying a service fee. Therefore, by using a called number extraction section instead of the called subaddress extraction section and a called number-function conversion section instead of the subaddress-function conversion section, it is possible to achieve the same effects as in each of the embodiments described above. can.

[0075]

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, special additional functions are instructed using sub-addresses or called party numbers. This has the effect that special additional functions that could only be realized between facsimile machines of different manufacturers can now be realized between facsimile machines of different manufacturers.
