The antenna 17 receives card data recorded on an IC card 12 from the outside in a non-contact state through electromagnetic waves and outputs the received data as transmitting data. By effectively utilizing the card 12 provided with peculiar transmitting data, prescribed transmitting data can immediately be transmitted from the facsimile main body 11 and the handling of the facsimile equipment itself can be made easier.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a facsimile transmission control device that allows desired transmission control data and its output to be easily obtained.

(B) Conventional technology In general, the main data for facsimile transmission control data is the date, time, comment, sender, facsimile number of the sender, etc. When inputting these, for example, kanji or symbols are input. When setting, characters are searched one by one from a character correspondence table in the manual, and input operations are performed using input keys or a cursor.

However, in this case, in addition to the above-mentioned complicated input operations, dial operations are required, which is time-consuming, and there is a problem in that it takes time to handle the facsimile.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the present invention, when setting the facsimile output, the desired transmission output can be easily obtained by reading out the transmission control data stored in advance on the card and outputting this data. An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile transmission control device that does the following.

(d) Means for solving the problems The present invention is a facsimile transmission control device that controls the transmission output of the device main body based on transmission control data,
A card for recording the transmission control data and outputting it to the device main body, an input means for inputting the transmission control data of the card, and controlling the transmission output of the device main body based on the input transmission control data of the card. This is a facsimile transmission control device including a transmission output control means.

(E) Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, when outputting predetermined transmission data from the device main body, the transmission control data recorded on the card is input to the device main body via the input means, and this input signal is input to the device main body through the input means. Based on this, the transmission output control means reads the recorded data on the card and outputs it as transmission control data from the main body of the device.

(f) Effect of the invention Therefore, it is possible to immediately output predetermined transmission control data recorded on a card from the main body of the device, and by making effective use of the card that is uniquely equipped with transmission control data. , complicated input operations can be omitted, and the facsimile machine itself can be handled easily.

Furthermore, if transmission data such as destination data is recorded on the card in addition to the main data, predetermined transmission data can be efficiently transmitted from this card.

(g) Examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The drawing shows a facsimile transmission control device, and in FIG. 1, this facsimile transmission control device includes a facsimile main body 11 and an IC card 12 for controlling transmission data output.
It consists of

The facsimile body 11 is equipped with a paper insertion slot 3, a paper output port 14, a transmission setting device 15 for specifying the destination, an input operation section 16 for transmitting information and transmission input, and a receiving antenna 17. .

The antenna 17 described above receives card data recorded on the IC card 12 from the outside in a non-contact manner using, for example, electromagnetic waves, and outputs the received data as transmission data.

In the IC card 12 provided as a data carrier in this way, various types of transmission data are recorded in advance on the IC card 12, and as shown in FIG. The various transmission data transmitted to the IC card 12 are transferred to the IC card 12 via a pocket tray type or flat type card data processing device 22.
to be recorded.

The transmission data recorded on this IC card 12 is as follows:
In addition to main data such as date, time, comment, sender, and sender's facsimile number, if you record destination data and other additional data as appropriate on the card, you can avoid having to input each time. Desired transmission data can be efficiently transmitted from the card.

Furthermore, this transmission data is recorded by function such as broadcast communication, polling, header, confidential communication, time designation, password, stamp, speed dial setting, etc., so that it can be selectively used efficiently.

FIG. 3 shows a control circuit block diagram of a facsimile transmission control device, in which the CPU 31 controls each circuit device according to the program stored in the ROM 32, and transmits the data to the RA.
Store in M33.

The above-mentioned CPtJ31 has the processing ability to output transmission data in two modes: standard mode and card mode. Among these, in the normal standard mode,
The transmission data from the transmission base paper is automatically read and processed by the transmission data processing unit 34, and is outputted from the standard mode output unit 35 according to the standard mode.

On the other hand, on the card mode side, the transmission data captured by the transmission data processing section 34 is outputted from the card mode output section 36 according to the data content of the card data. The recorded transmission data is transmitted to the antenna 17 and the card processing unit 3.
Contactless input is allowed via 7.

The processing operations of the facsimile transmission control apparatus configured as described above will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 4 shows a case where an IC card is used to control the output of transmission data on the facsimile main body side. Now, the user can input broadcast communication, polling, header, confidential communication, time specification, etc. via the input operation section 16. When you select and input a specific transmission function among password, stamp, and speed dial settings, a transmission request is made for the corresponding card data (first
-second step n1-n2).

Then, when the IC card 12 recording various transmission data is made to correspond to the antenna 17 of the facsimile main body 11,
Specific data among the transmission data recorded on the IC card 12 is read by the card processing section 37 (third and fourth steps n3 and n4).

The read contents are displayed on the input operation section 16 of the facsimile main body 11, including the abbreviated number and additional data associated with the destination (fifth step n5).

When you specify and input the abbreviated number of a predetermined destination, all transmission data corresponding to that destination will be displayed, and when you confirm and start transmission, the specific transmission data recorded on the IC card 12 will be transferred to the facsimile main unit. 11 is immediately output as transmission control data (sixth to eleventh steps n6 to n11).

As described above, by effectively utilizing an IC card that is uniquely equipped with transmission data, predetermined transmission data can be immediately output from the facsimile main body, and the facsimile itself can be easily handled. Furthermore, if additional data such as destination data is recorded in the IC card in addition to the main data, predetermined data can be efficiently transmitted from the IC card.

In correspondence between this invention and the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, the apparatus main body of the invention has the facsimile main body 11 of the embodiment.
Similarly, the card corresponds to the IC card 12, the input means corresponds to the antenna 17 and the card processing section 37, and the transmission output control means corresponds to the CPU 31. The present invention is not limited to the configuration of one embodiment.
