Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a burden of an operator to carry out operation of inputting a telephone number by identifying and storing the telephone of an opposite party's unit, by selecting the content stored, and by sending the selected content to the opposite party's telephone number. CONSTITUTION:Identifying section 7 of processing control section 6 of the present facsimile identifies telephone numbers of the opposite party's facsimiles, and the identified telephone numbers are sequentially registered and stored in memory 1. A telephone number is selected from these stored telephone numbers by a selecting control section 9, and via a transmission control section 10 data is transmitted to the selected telephone number. Accordingly, for example, when it is desired to send data back to the opposite party's facsimile immediately after receiving data from the opposite part's facsimile, or the like, it is not necessary to input the party's telephone number in this facsimile, thereby being able to reduce a burden of the operator to carry out operation of inputting the party's telephone number.

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

0002

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional facsimile machines, when transmitting a document, the operator basically inputs the telephone number of the other party's facsimile machine.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] For this reason, even in cases that occur frequently when using a facsimile machine, for example, when a document is received from the other party's device and the document is immediately sent back to the other party's device, it is difficult for the operator to This method has the drawback that it is very time consuming to input the telephone number of the other party's device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can reduce the burden on the operator of inputting telephone numbers.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an identification means for identifying a telephone number of a partner device during a communication control procedure, a storage means for sequentially storing the telephone number, and a telephone number stored in the storage means. By having a selection means for selecting a number and a transmission means for transmitting to the telephone number selected by the selection means, for example, when sending back to the other party's device that received the message immediately before, the message can be sent without directly inputting the telephone number. becomes possible.

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

[0007] This facsimile machine includes a memory 1 for storing the telephone number, etc. of the other party's device, an LCD display section 2 for displaying the telephone number, etc. of the other party's device, and a display of the desired destination based on the display on the display section 2. Selection key 3 for selecting a phone number;
It has a transmission key 4 for instructing transmission of a document, and a processing control section 6 for performing the processing of this embodiment. This processing control section 6 includes an identification section 7 that recognizes a telephone number during a communication control procedure, and an LCD display.
It has a display control section 8 that controls the display section 2, a selection control section 9 that controls the selection operation using the selection key 3, and a transmission control section 10 that controls the transmission operation using the transmission key.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the configuration of the operation panel.

[0009] The LCD display section 2 displays a telephone number and the name of the other party (abbreviation), and the selection key 3
, send key 4, and a cursor key for selecting the destination being displayed.

[0010] The above configuration shows only what is necessary to realize the functions of the present invention, and other configurations are omitted.

The control procedure is based on CCITT Recommendation T. The facsimile apparatus according to No. 30 transmits a transmitting terminal identification signal (TSI) and a non-standard function setting signal (NSS), as shown in FIG.

[0012] The facsimile information field (FIF) of the TSI represents the telephone number of the sender in an ASCII code, and the FIF of the NSS represents the abbreviation registered by the sender in an ASCII code.

In this embodiment, during reception, the identification unit 7 identifies the TSI and NSS FIF transmitted from the other party, and the telephone number and abbreviation obtained thereby are stored in the memory 1 via the data bus 5. Remember. At the same time, the display control section 8 causes the LCD display section 2 to display the telephone number and abbreviation.

[0014] Furthermore, when transmitting to a registered partner, after confirming the telephone number and abbreviation of the other party on the LCD display section 2, select it using the selection key 3, and select from the memory 1 using the selection control section 9. Take out the phone number and abbreviation and press send key 4
Accordingly, transmission is performed from the transmission control unit 10 to the other party.

The present invention is not limited to facsimile machines using the public line, but can be similarly applied to telephones and facsimile machines compatible with ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network).

[0016] In ISDN, one line consists of one control channel (D channel) and two information channels (B channel), the D channel is used for connection and release of calls, and the B channel is used for image information etc. for facsimile communication. It is transmitted using

[0017] In the call setup procedure using the D channel, the called party can know the line number of the calling party included in the SETUP message.

[0018] Therefore, it is possible to obtain similar functions using the storage means, selection means, identification means compatible with ISDN, and transmission means similar to those of the present invention.

[0019]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, since the number of the other device during the communication control procedure is memorized and used for transmission, the burden of number input work on the operator can be reduced. There is.
