Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote registration device suitable for application to a facsimile device having a registration function such as a speed dial or a one-touch dial.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Recent facsimile machines are often equipped with various functions such as speed dial, one-touch dial, and access function. The speed dial or one-touch dial is to call the other party by registering the telephone number of the other party in correspondence with a one or two digit number and dialing the one or two digit number. If this is used, the dial operation can be completed with one or two key operations, which is very convenient.

The access function is, for example, a function in which an ID code of an individual user is registered and the facsimile machine can be used only when the ID code is input, which is used by an unrelated person without permission. Can be prevented. In addition to this, various functions such as an automatic optimum speed selection function for setting an efficient transmission rate according to the quality of the line and a function for setting line parameters such as signal transmission level and signal reception level are provided.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned function, the operator inputs the contents necessary for achieving the function by operating the keys in advance, and the contents are registered in the memory of the facsimile apparatus. I have to go.

For example, when setting the speed dial, "01" or the like must be input as the speed dial, and subsequently, the telephone number of the other party, for example, "0111-22-3333" or the like must be input, so that many speed dials are required. It is troublesome and difficult to register. The same applies to other functions such as the one-touch dial and the access function.

Further, when registering the contents necessary for these functions, the key operation procedure is complicated, so it is usual to perform the key operation while looking at the instruction manual, which is even more troublesome.

Therefore, in order to save the user's trouble, a service person inputs various registration contents when installing the facsimile device, or the registration contents of the facsimile device installed at the user by remote control from a service center or the like. In some cases, a system that allows setting of is used. This system creates the contents to be registered in the user's facsimile machine using a personal computer or a facsimile machine at the service center, stores it in the memory once, and then sends it to the user side to store it in the memory of the other party's facsimile machine. is there.

In this system, when the registered contents are changed, the registered contents of the user's facsimile device are pulled up at the service center side, changed, stored in the memory, and further transmitted to the user's facsimile device. Must.

Therefore, in such a system, the service center side must develop a program for polling the registered contents from the user's facsimile machine, changing the registered contents, and then transmitting the changed registered contents. .. In addition, the key operation at this time is usually different from the case of directly registering it in the facsimile apparatus, and there is a problem that the operation becomes troublesome.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems. For example, the transmission side of a service center or the like performs key operation for registration processing in a normal facsimile machine and transmits it to the reception side. It proposes a remote registration device whose contents are registered on the receiving side.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a registration content input means for inputting registration contents such as a speed dial and a one-touch dial on the transmitting side, and transmitting the input registration contents. Equipped with a transmission means to
On the receiving side, receiving means for receiving the registration contents transmitted from the transmitting side, means for transmitting screen information to the transmitting side,
It is characterized in that a registration means for the received registration contents is provided.

[0012]

In FIG. 1, when registering the speed dial "01", for example, when a key operation similar to that at the time of normal registration is performed by the registration content input means 2 of the transmitting side 1 such as a service center, this is recorded by the recording means 3. And is displayed on the display means 4.

When all the telephone numbers "0111-22-3333" corresponding to the speed dial "01" have been entered, this is sent from the transmitting / receiving means 5 to the communication line by pressing the start key, for example.

On the receiving side 6, the registration contents of the speed dial transmitted from the transmitting side 1 are received by the transmitting / receiving means 7, and displayed on the display means 8 and registered in the registration means 9. Then, when the operator of the receiving side 6 presses the speed dial "01" of the operation means 11, the telephone number "0111-22-3333" corresponding to this is read from the registration means 9, and this is sent to the operation means 10. Supplied and dialed to this phone number.

It is taken into the CPU 12 via the. The operation unit 22 functions as the registered content input means 2 on the transmission side 1 or the operation means 11 on the transmission side 16.

FIG. 3 shows a signal procedure when the above-mentioned facsimile apparatus performs a remote registration process. In the figure, for example, a facsimile machine on the transmitting side 1 such as a service center dials on the receiving side 6, that is, the user's facsimile machine, and then the NSF signal (non-standard device signal) from the receiving side, C
An SI signal (callee identification signal) and a DIS signal (digital identification signal) are transmitted.

In response to this, the transmission side 1 sends out an NSS signal (standard device setting signal). This includes information indicating designation of remote registration. Then TC from sender 1
An F signal (training check signal) is transmitted, and in response to this, a CFR signal (reception preparation confirmation signal) is transmitted from the receiving side.

Thereafter, the registration process is performed. First, when the first key is pressed on the transmitting side 1, this is transmitted, and after the receiving side receives this, the MCF signal (message confirmation signal) is transmitted. Then, the contents displayed on the receiving side are sent as screen information. Receiving this, sender 1
To send an MCF signal.

Subsequently, when the second key is pressed on the transmitting side 1, this is sent out, and the MCF signal is sent out from the receiving side. After that, signals are transmitted and received in the same procedure as described above, and after the key operation necessary for inputting the registered contents is completed, the communication is ended.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the registration content transmission process 30 at the transmitting side 1, for example, a service center. First, the remote registration menu is selected (Step 3
1) Then, the receiver 6 is dialed to the facsimile machine of the user (step 32).

Next, after receiving the NSF signal and the DIS signal transmitted from the user side (step 33), it is judged by analyzing these signals whether or not the user side has the function of remote registration processing ( Step 34). When it is determined that the receiving side has this function, the information indicating that the remote registration process is to be performed next is transmitted along with the NSS signal and the password is transmitted (step 35).

Subsequently, a training signal of the data rate in the remote registration processing is transmitted (step 36), and after the CFR signal indicating the training OK is received from the user side (step 37), the display screen becomes the remote registration setting screen. (Step 38).

Next, in the registration content input process, the first key is pressed (step 39), and it is judged whether there is key information indicating that this is the end (step 40). This determination processing is performed by setting, for example, the end when the start key is pressed.

If it is determined that the key is not the end key, the key information is then transmitted to the user (step 4).
1) Then, the screen information sent from the user side is received (step 42). Then, the received screen information is displayed on the display section on the service center side (step 43), and after confirming this, the second key is pressed in step 39, and the processing from step 40 onward is performed.

When it is determined in step 40 that the key operation relating to the registered content has been completed, the end information is transmitted to the user side (step 44), whereby the registered content transmitting process 30 ends. When it is determined in step 34 that the user does not have the remote registration processing function, the registration content transmission processing 30 ends.

Next, the remote registration process on the receiving side, that is, the user side will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the registration content receiving process 50 on the user side.

In the figure, when a call signal is first received (step 51), then CED signal, NSF signal, D
The IS signal is transmitted (step 52). Thereafter, the NSS signal and the DCS signal sent from the service center are received (step 53), and it is determined whether or not there is a request for remote registration processing (step 54). If remote registration is not requested here, normal reception processing is performed (step 5).
5).

When the remote registration process is requested, it is then determined whether or not the password sent from the service center is registered (step 56). If the password is not registered, this registration content reception process is performed. 50 ends. If the password is registered, the training signal is received next, and if the training is OK, the CFR signal is transmitted (step 57).

Next, the screen of the display unit becomes a screen for remote registration (step 58). At this time, the internal status becomes the same as the setting screen. Then, the key information sent from the service center is received (step 59), and it is judged whether this is the end information (step 60). If it is determined that the information is the end information, the registration content receiving process 50 ends.

If it is not the end information, the internal status is changed to the status of the key information received from the setting screen (step 61). If this status is the change of user data, line parameters, function parameters, etc. and the registration request status, the processing is performed (step 62).

Next, the screen after status change or registration is displayed (step 63), and then the screen information is sent to the service center side (step 64). Thereafter, the key information sent from the service center side is received in step 59, and the same processing as described above is performed until it is determined in step 60 that the key information is the end information.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the transmitting side 1 transmits the key to the receiving side each time the key is operated is explained. However, after inputting all the registered contents and temporarily storing the input contents, the transmitting side is sent collectively. You can also do it.

Further, it is preferable that such registration processing is performed by ECM (error retransmitting function) because registration can be surely performed.

[0040]

As described above, according to the present invention, the content of the key operation performed on the transmitting side is transmitted to the receiving side, and this content is registered in the receiving side.

Therefore, if the present invention is applied to a facsimile machine, the registration contents such as a speed dial and a one-touch dial can be input by key operations similar to those performed by a normal facsimile machine at a service center or the like, and this can be input to the user's facsimile machine. Since the registration can be performed simply by transmitting it to the device, it is possible to input the registration contents easily and save the user's trouble.
