2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, there is a destination telephone number holding unit 83 for holding a destination telephone number registered in association with a shortened number or a one-touch key, and designation by a shortened number or a one-touch key. And an automatic dial function unit 2 for automatically sending a dial signal to the destination telephone number, and a reading unit 11 for reading a transmission document and a transmission slip attached to the transmission document.

[0003]

By the way, in the conventional facsimile apparatus, the sender of the original creates a transmission slip or cover letter for each transmission, attaches it, and sends it by the reading unit 11. There was a problem that it was necessary to read the votes and send them. Therefore, the present invention eliminates the need to create a transmission slip or a cover letter, and enables a communication device such as a facsimile device to be operated easily and quickly, thereby enabling automatic transmission that can be used efficiently. It was made for the purpose of providing a vote transmission method.

[0004]

In order to solve the above technical problems, according to the invention of claim 1, as shown in FIG. 1, when a destination is designated by a shortened number or a one-touch key, the shortened number is designated. Alternatively, in a facsimile apparatus having an automatic dial function unit 20 that automatically sends a dial signal to a destination telephone number registered in correspondence with a one-touch key, the destination information including at least a destination name in addition to the destination telephone number is shortened. A destination information holding unit 30 for registering and holding a number or a one-touch key, a transmission form format holding unit 10 for holding a format of a transmission form to be transmitted by being attached to a transmission document, and by an instruction, At least the destination name in the destination information specified by the abbreviated number or the one-touch key, and
It has a name / format reading unit 50 for reading out the transmission form and an image composition unit 40 for composing the read destination name at a predetermined position of the read transmission form.

It has a clock 23 for measuring the time of transmission and reception.

Further, as shown in the figure, when the destination is designated by the abbreviated number or the one-touch key, the communication control unit 7 sets the destination telephone number corresponding to the abbreviated number or the one-touch key. In addition to the destination telephone number, the backup memory 8 has an automatic dial function unit 2 that automatically sends a dial signal to the backup memory 8.
A destination information holding area 3 for registering and holding the destination information including at least the destination name in association with the abbreviated number or the one-touch key, and a transmission slip for holding the format of the transmission slip to be attached and attached to the transmission original. It has a format holding area 1 and an own terminal information holding area 14 that holds information about the own terminal as a transmission source.

Further, the main controller 9 is instructed by
At least the name / format reading unit 5 for reading the destination name of the destination information specified by the abbreviated number or the one-touch key and the transmission form format. The image processing unit 4 includes an image synthesizing unit 41 for synthesizing the read destination name at a predetermined position of the read transmission form, and a compression / decompression unit 43 for compressing and decompressing the image. And a buffer memory 42 for temporarily holding an image. Figure 4 (a)
Shows an example of the self-terminal information, and FIG. 7B shows an example of the destination information. Further, FIGS. 5A to 5D show an example of a transmission form according to the embodiment, and FIG. 5E shows a result of transmitting a combination of the destination name and the transmission form. ..

Next, the operation according to this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 shows an example of registration processing of own terminal device information and registration processing of destination information. When registering own terminal information, as shown in FIG. 4A, in step SJ1, the operation panel 13 is used to call the own terminal device's telephone number, for example,
Enter “81-12-345-6780”. In step SJ2, the self-terminal transmission source information, for example, "○○○ Co., Ltd. management department management section" is input to the self-terminal information holding area 14 of the backup memory 8 by using the operation panel 13 as well. Then, in the mode shown in FIG. 4A, the own terminal information holding area 1
The own terminal information will be held in No. 4.

Further, FIG. 6B shows the registration processing of the destination information. As shown in the figure, step SJ10
Then, in order to specify the destination registration dial area, for example, the abbreviated number “02” is input using the operation panel 13. In step SJ11, the destination telephone number, for example,
Input "012-345-6789" on the operation panel 13,
In step SJ12, the destination name, for example, "○○○ Co., Ltd."
The general affairs department general affairs section "is input. The result of registration of the destination information is held in the registered destination information holding area 3 of the backup memory 8 as shown in FIG.

Next, in step SJ13, an identifier for selecting the type of transmission slip format is input. As an identifier for identifying the type of the transmission form, for example, "(b)" or "(d)" is used as shown in FIG. The result registered as described above is shown in FIG.

Subsequently, in step SJ14, the transmission form format corresponding to the input identifier is input and held in the transmission form format holding area 1 of the backup memory 8 as image data using the reading unit 11. Become. In the example shown in FIG. 5, (a) and (b)
Is a fixed form of the transmission form and is stored in the code form, and (c) and (d) are free forms of the transmission form and stored in the image form, each of which is stored in the backup memory 8. It is held in the transmission form format holding area 1.

FIG. 7 shows a transmission procedure of the facsimile apparatus according to this embodiment. In order to transmit the document, as shown in the figure, the transmission document is set in step SJ20, and in step SJ21, the abbreviated number, for example, “02” is selected from the destination information registered in advance by the operation panel 13. The destination is selected by specifying. Step SJ22
With the operation panel 13, the presence / absence of a transmission slip is designated, and an instruction for selecting one of the designated types (b) and (d) of the transmission slip corresponding to the designated destination is given. Will be done. In this way, the destination name of the read destination information and the self-terminal information are combined with the selected and read transmission vote format by the image combining unit 41 of the image processing unit 4, and, for example, as shown in FIG. The transmission slip shown in (e) is transmitted by the communication control unit 7 to the designated destination together with other originals. At that time, the time of transmission or the number of sheets to be transmitted may be recorded in a specific portion of the transmission slip in the transmission document.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically create a transmission slip to be attached when a document is transmitted. Therefore, according to the present invention, in a communication device such as a facsimile machine, the original sender does not need to create a transmission slip or a cover letter each time, which saves the operator's trouble and speeds up the transmission process. Therefore, the facsimile apparatus can be efficiently used.
