Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure confidentiality by recognizing an opposite telephone number in the case of receiving a facsimile picture and implementing memory reception without printing out the picture when the number is coincident with a registered number. CONSTITUTION:When a call comes from other equipment 17 to this equipment, an NCU 10 detects it and replies to the call and a facsimile protocol is started. When the telephone number of the sender side is coincident with a frame of the transmission instruction in this protocol, the reception data is received by an external storage section 12 without being printed out on a print section 7. In the case of other reception, the data is printed out by the print section 7 as it is. Then an end protocol is implemented and the processing is finished by interrupting the line 8. The picture data in memory reception is outputted as above by inputting a prescribed password as a key word from a keyboard 3.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus having multiple functions including a telephone and a facsimile.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, apparatuses having a facsimile communication function have been known in which a received document is stored in a memory without outputting it to a printer due to confidential reception or the like.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of confidential reception, for example, the sending side must perform operations such as specifying a confidential number, and the receiving side cannot select whether to output to a printer or receive in memory. There was an inconvenience.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus that is capable of receiving images from a specific recipient in a memory according to the intention of the recipient and ensuring the confidentiality of the images.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an information processing device that has a plurality of functions including telephone and facsimile functions and can select and execute them, and when receiving a facsimile image, the telephone number of the other party is input. If the number is recognized and the number matches a pre-registered number, the data is received in the memory without being output to the printer. This results in
According to the receiver's choice, without requiring instructions from the sender,
It becomes possible to receive documents that require secrecy in memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The information processing device according to this embodiment includes a CPU 1 for controlling the entire device, a memory 2 including a program area 2a storing a control program for the CPU 1, a keyboard 3 for inputting various information, and a keyboard 3 for inputting various information. A CRT 4 that displays a character pattern, a character pattern generator 5 that generates a plurality of character patterns, a pressure-sensitive touch panel 6 provided on the screen of the CRT 4, a printing unit 7 that outputs image information onto recording paper, and a telephone 9. An NCU 10 that switches the telephone line 8 and has a receiver, a modem 11 that modulates and demodulates transmitted and received signals, an external storage section 12 that stores image data, etc., an FM sound source 13, and an ADPCM.
14, and a scanner 15 for reading images. Further, another communication device 17 is connected to the public line network 16.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing memory reception processing in this information processing apparatus.

First, when another device 17 makes a call to this device, the NCU 10 detects Ci and responds (S1), and starts a facsimile protocol (S2). and,
In the TSi frame of the transmission command in this protocol,
If the telephone numbers of the senders match (S3), the received data is received in the external storage unit 12 without being output to the printing unit 7 (S4). Further, other receptions are output as they are to the printing section 7 (S5).

[0010] After this, a termination protocol is performed (S6),
The line 8 is disconnected (S7) and the process ends.

The image data received in the memory as described above can be output by inputting a predetermined password as a keyword from the keyboard 3. This makes it possible to ensure the confidentiality of images received from a specific party.

0012

[Effect of the invention] According to the present invention, according to the intention of the receiving side,
This has the effect of being able to receive images from a specific party into the memory and ensure their confidentiality.
