Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically perform the second relay broadcast instruction transmission to a final destination which cannot be distributed, from a transmitting station when the distribution to the final destination of a part or all informed by the relay broadcast instruction transmission from the transmitting station cannot be performed. CONSTITUTION:The picture information relay broadcast instruction transmitted at a transmitting station is stored in a picture information storing memory 5 and the final destination information is stored in a memory control part 3. A device control part 2 analyzes the distributed result after the distributed result to the final destination is received from a relaying station and retrieves the final destination which cannot be distributed. The information of the retrieved final destination which cannot be distributed is ready out of a memory control part 3, the picture information is read out of the picture information storing memory 5 and delivered to a communication control part 4. Based on these pieces of information, the communication control part 4 performs the relay broadcast instruction transmission.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine having a memory storage function and a relay instruction transmission function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a facsimile apparatus of this type transmits a final destination and image information to a relay station, receives the result of relay broadcast transmission from the relay station, and from this result, a final destination that can perform relay broadcast transmission. The final destination that could not be output was output to the report.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus selects a final destination that cannot be transmitted from the report in which the final destinations that can be transmitted and the final destinations that cannot be transmitted are entered, and the relay transmission instruction operation is performed again. Has to be carried out, which is a troublesome task.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel facsimile apparatus capable of solving the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the prior art. It is in.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention is a facsimile apparatus having means for accumulating image information and means for instructing a relay station to relay the final destination and image information. To the relay station, means for receiving the result of relay broadcast transmission from the relay station, means for automatically selecting the final destination that could not be transmitted from the relay station from this result, and final destination that could not be transmitted. And means for retransmitting the image information to the relay station.

That is, in the present invention, the result of the relay broadcast transmission from the relay station is received from the relay station, the result is analyzed, the final destination that cannot be transmitted is selected, and the final destination that cannot be transmitted to the relay station again. The above problem is solved by transmitting the image information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings with regard to a preferred embodiment thereof.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, 1 is an operation control unit, 2 is a device control unit, 3 is a memory management unit, 4 is a communication control unit, and 5 is an image information storage memory.

When the device control section 2 recognizes the relay instruction and the final destination information from the operation control section 1, it instructs the memory management section 3 to store the relay instruction image information. After the storage is completed, the device control unit 2 notifies the communication control unit 4 of the relay instruction and the final destination information. The communication control unit 4 reads the image information from the memory management unit 3 and sends it to the relay station together with the final destination information (this transmission is called relay instruction transmission), and after the transmission is completed, the relay instruction transmission to the device control unit 2 is completed. To notify.

When receiving the result of the relay broadcast transmission from the relay station, the communication control unit 4 notifies the device control unit 2 of the result. The device control unit 2 analyzes the result of the relay broadcast transmission,
The final destination that could not be transmitted is selected, and the communication control unit 4 is notified of the relay instruction and the final destination that could not be transmitted. The communication control unit 4 reads the image information from the memory management unit 3, and transmits this image information and the final destination information to the relay station. The device control unit 2 analyzes the result of the relay broadcast transmission from the communication control unit 4, and notifies the memory management unit 3 of the deletion of the image information when the result is transmitted to all final destinations.

The memory management unit 3 erases the image information in the image information storage memory 5, and notifies the device control unit 2 of the deletion.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the relay instruction transmission and the relay result.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, after the relay broadcast instruction is transmitted, the relay station instructs the relay station again the final destination that could not be relay broadcast, so that the relay result report can be transmitted. It is not necessary to manually select the final destination that did not exist and to perform the relay transmission instruction operation again, and the operation can be performed only once.
