Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a hook simulator.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of facsimile machine is
When the document is not set, no call operation is performed, or no image signal is transmitted even if a call is made.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional facsimile apparatus described above, when no original is set at the time of calling at a fixed time, no recording image is output to the receiving side. There is a drawback that it cannot be distinguished whether the transmitted document does not exist or the transmitted document existed but was lost due to some accident.

[Means for solving problems]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention comprises a means for the operator to input a message, a means for storing the message, a means for converting the message into an image signal, and a storage means when the original to be transmitted at the fixed time call is not set. And a means for converting the message inside into an image signal and transmitting it.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to screens.

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

In the figure, 1 is an operation unit for an operator to input a destination, time, message, etc., 2 is a facsimile apparatus overall control unit, 3
Is a timer for measuring the time, 4 is a memory for storing the destination, time and message, 5 is an automatic calling circuit, 6 is a document detecting section, and 7 is an image information converting circuit.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart when a microprocessor is used for the overall control unit 2. According to this flowchart, the information input by the operator is stored in the memory 4,
When the time measured by the timer 3 and the time stored in the memory 4 match, the destination information stored in the memory 4 is sent to the automatic calling circuit 5 for automatic calling, and the original detection section 6 detects the original. When the document is detected, the document is transmitted, and when the document is not detected, the message in the memory 4 is converted into image information by the image information conversion circuit 7 and transmitted.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when an operator inputs a message, a message is stored, a message is converted into an image signal, and an original to be transmitted at a fixed time call is not set. By having a means for converting the message in the storage means into an image signal and transmitting the image signal, whether or not the transmission document did not exist at the fixed time on the receiving side,
There is an effect that it is possible to easily recognize whether the transmitted document exists but is lost due to some accident.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A facsimile machine having means for clocking time, automatic calling means, and fixed time calling means for automatically calling every day at a time set by the operator, in which the operator inputs a message in advance. Means, a means for storing the message, a means for converting the message into an image signal, and a means for converting the message in the storage means into an image signal for transmission when the original to be transmitted at the time of calling is not set. And a means for performing the same.
