Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to receive a stored document from a facsimile device existing at a distance even when a handier does not exist. CONSTITUTION:When a reception picture polling transmission is designated by an operation part 1, an automatic incoming is performed by a ringer signal from a line 11. When the transmission by an opposite party is proved in a communication control part 4, the automatically received reception picture information is stored in a storage circuit 3 and a polling transmission wait is made. Next, the reception picture information of the storage circuit 3 is transmitted when the polling reception by the opposite party is proved by performing an automatic incoming in the same way.

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 function of storing received image information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional facsimile apparatus has a function of polling transmission / reception, and if there is a document set by the function, it is possible to call the other party and receive the document.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus has a problem that, in the case of polling transmission, only the document set in the apparatus can be transmitted.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to perform polling transmission of a document that is automatically received by designating an operation unit, so that the document can be polled and received from another device even if there is no person there.

[0005]

A facsimile apparatus according to the present invention comprises an operation section for performing transmission / reception operation, a communication control section for connecting to a line and transmitting / receiving a transmission control procedure signal and an image signal.
In a facsimile device having a storage circuit for storing various information and a main control unit for connecting to and controlling the respective units,
The image information stored by the operation circuit is stored in the storage circuit when the image information received automatically is received by polling the received image polling transmission, and when the polling is received from another facsimile apparatus, the image information stored in the storage circuit is received. Is sent by polling.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, an operation unit 1 for designating a received image polling transmission and a main control unit 2 for controlling by connecting each unit.
A storage circuit 3 for storing various kinds of information, and a communication control section 4 connected to the line 11 for transmitting and receiving a transmission control procedure signal and an image signal. Further, the communication control unit 4 has a network control circuit 4a, an encoder 4b and a decoder 4c.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining the operation of this embodiment. When the received image polling transmission is designated by the operation unit 1 of the designated terminal 21, an incoming call is automatically received by the ringer signal from the line 11, and when the communication control unit 4 finds that the other party is the transmitting terminal 22, the received image received automatically is received. The information is stored in the storage circuit 3 and the system waits for polling transmission. Next, when an automatic incoming call is made and it is determined that the other party is polling reception, the reception image information of the storage circuit 3 is transmitted to the reception terminal 23.

[0009] In this way, when it is known that there is a document to be received, but if the facsimile apparatus has to be left, it becomes possible to receive the document from the place where it is sent.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the received image polling transmission in which the image information received automatically by the operation unit is polled and received when the polling is received from another facsimile apparatus according to the designation from the operation unit. By providing the means, there is an effect that the stored document can be received from another facsimile apparatus even when there is no operator.
