When the need for transmission arises, the message distribution management unit 6 retrieves the terminal information (station number, etc.) of the other party from the terminal information storage unit 10, and notifies the terminal usage status management unit 11 that there is a request for transmission to the other party. Output.
The terminal usage status management unit 11 determines whether the other party's terminal is busy or not, whether another broadcast message is already being sent, and if the other party's terminal is a half-duplex terminal, it is not already receiving data. In other words, it monitors whether it is in use or not, and outputs the monitoring result to the call prohibition control section 12. Based on the monitoring results sent from the terminal usage status management unit 11, the call prohibition control unit 12 outputs to the message distribution management unit 6 whether or not the transmission request is prohibited. And if that request to send is valid,
Broadcast messages (including message contents and other information) are retrieved from the message storage section 4 and the message management information storage section 5, and transferred to the facsimile transmission control section 8 via the transmission channel control section 7 for message distribution. The management unit 6 outputs a signal to the terminal usage status management unit 11 indicating that the other party has entered the receiving state. below,
Normal facsimile broadcast communication control is performed via this transmission control unit 8, and broadcast telegrams are transmitted sequentially or all at once to the destinations (facsimile terminals FAX 2 , . . . FAX o ). At this time, if the transmission fails and the cause of the failure is that the other party is busy, a signal to that effect is output to the terminal usage status management section 11.
