Abstract

PURPOSE:To manage a memory for a storage original such as an error original properly, to utilize the memory effectively, to delete the stored original efficiently and to inform an operator of the result effectively by deleting the error original stored on the abnormal end of talking when the management of the communication result for monitor display use overflows. CONSTITUTION:A display management section 17 manages information such as communication in operation at present, communication result before some communication and display sequence relating to originals stored in a data storage memory section 16. For example, the error original delete function is managed in such a way that 5 communication data at maximum are stored as the communication result for monitor display. When a block is a management block to which an error original is added because the communication is abnormally terminated just now, the number of oldest management blocks exceeds the maximum management number 5, the oldest management block is eliminated from a management queue. In this case, when any error original is in existence, it is deleted.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a monitor display function capable of sequentially displaying display items such as stored documents, registration service, and communication results during communication on an external display section.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a conventional facsimile apparatus having a function of printing out stored document or communication result as report information when the user wants to see it.

Further, there is provided a function of retaining a transmission document as an error document when an abnormal termination of communication occurs, and transmitting it again to an abnormally terminated partner by an error re-transmission function. At that time, if the communication ends normally, the error original is deleted from the memory.

Further, regarding the function of deleting the stored originals,
Some are configured to be deleted by the operator by using the document serial number printed on the report. Also, each manuscript is displayed on the LCD, etc., and the manuscript being displayed is deleted from the memory by the operator's operation. Some are configured to do so.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when the error original is left by the error re-sending function, it does not end normally, so if the error original remains all the time, the memory use efficiency becomes poor. There was an inconvenience. In addition, if the operator neglects to delete such an error document, a memory full state occurs and the apparatus cannot be used thereafter.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when a stored document is designated and deleted by a serial number or the like, it is necessary to grasp the serial number or the like, and in some cases, a report must be printed out. Annoyance occurs.

Further, when the stored originals are deleted by displaying them on the LCD or the like one by one, there is a drawback that the deletion of the stored originals is not notified to the operator and the usability is not good. Since the originals are displayed one by one, there is also a disadvantage that the control of the display order is troublesome.

Therefore, according to the present invention, memory management of accumulated originals such as error originals can be properly performed, the memory can be effectively utilized, and the accumulated originals can be efficiently deleted, and the operator can be effectively used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device that can be transmitted to

The display data 541 of (5-4) is a display indicating that the error retransmission has been completed. After the lapse of the specified time peculiar to the apparatus from the display of (5-4), the display moves to (5-5). The display of (5-5) is equivalent to the display of (3-1), and is a standby screen display.

In the case of the example explained in FIG. 5, (5-4)
As indicated by, since the transmission is normally completed, the error original is deleted. In other words, when the contents of (3-8) are viewed again from the display of (5-5) on the monitor display, the document remaining mark shown by the display data 384 disappears.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing one communication result management block for storing the communication result per communication in the facsimile apparatus according to this embodiment.

In FIG. 6, a next pointer section 61 is a pointer area for linking and storing communication results, and a communication result section 62 is a communication result section, reason for abnormal termination of communication, billing, and number of communication pages. This is the area in which etc. are stored. The error document pointer section 63 includes a pointer that points to an error document included in the data storage memory 16. When files are managed by a hard disk or the like, a file name indicating the error document may be stored in the error document pointer section 63.

7 and 8 are schematic diagrams for explaining the structure of the management queue (queue) used in the error document deletion function of this embodiment.

7 and 8, management data 70
Corresponds to the display content 42 of item F in FIG. That is, the management data 70 includes an ID indicating that the contents of the communication result are linked.
The management data 71 corresponds to the content pointer 43 of the item F in FIG. 4, and is a pointer that points to the latest communication result among the communication results displayed on the monitor. 7 and 8
In the above, it is assumed that the communication result for monitor display is stored with the maximum of 5 communication. This maximum value may be a value that can be set by the user or service person,
A device-specific value may be used.

The management blocks 72 to 76 are respectively shown in FIG.
The communication management blocks indicated by are shown in a linked state, where 72 is the latest communication management block and 76 is the oldest communication management block. Since the communication result of the management blocks 74 and 76 is abnormally terminated, an error document is added. Further, reference numeral 77 is a management block of the communication which has just been completed, and since it was abnormally terminated, an error document is added.

FIG. 8 shows a state after the management block 77 is linked to the communication result pointer. In FIG. 8, the pointers of the management blocks 77 and 71 having the error original in the error original pointer are the entities pointed to. The links of the management blocks 72 to 75 remain the same, and the management block 76 has been removed from the management queue because it has exceeded the management number of 5. Since the error document is added when the management block 76 is removed from the management queue, the error document is erased.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the internal control operation at the end of communication performed in FIGS. 7 and 8.

First, in S101, one communication result management block shown in FIG. 6 is created when the end of communication occurs. Here, nothing is set in the next pointer portion 61, and the communication result portion 62 stores the result such as the partner address, the reason for abnormal communication termination, billing, and the number of communication pages. If the communication result is abnormal, the error document pointer section 63 is set with the error document pointer. After creating such one communication result management block, S10
Go to 2.

In S102, the management block 77 of FIG. 7 is linked as shown in FIG. When this link ends, in S103, it is counted how many blocks one communication result management block is linked from the pointer pointed by the management block 71. For example, in the state of FIG.
When the management block 77 is linked to the management block 71, the count value becomes 6.

Next, in S104, it is determined whether or not the count number in S103 exceeds the maximum value of the number of held communication results for monitor display. In the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the maximum value is defined as 5, so the counter value has exceeded, and the process proceeds to S105. If the count value is 5 or less, the process ends.

In step S105, it is determined whether or not there is an error document on the management block that is deleted when the document is overwritten. In the example of FIG. 7, since the error original is added on the management block 76, the process proceeds to S106, and the error original is deleted. Here, the files on the hard disk are erased, and the process proceeds to S107. If there is no error document, the process directly proceeds to S107. Then, S107
In, the management block of the management block 76 is released.

Next, FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the control operation when the monitor key 22 is pressed.

First, when the monitor key 22 is pressed, S
At 91, the monitor display flag is turned on. The time designated transmission and the incoming call are controlled by referring to this flag. In other words, here, during the display on the monitor, the time-out of time-specified transmission and the control not to accept an incoming call are performed.

Next, in S92, the display elements shown in FIG. 4 and the like are displayed. The order of display is given the above-mentioned priority order. In FIG. 4, f1 is displayed first, and then f2 → g1 → a1 → a2.
→ c1 → c2 → e1 → e2 → d1 are displayed in this order.
Then, the display of the next item can be moved with an arrow key or the like.

Next, in S93, the monitoring timer is started or restarted. This watchdog timer, as described above,
While you can not make or receive calls while the monitor is displayed,
This is a monitoring timer for returning to the standby screen when there is no key input for a certain period after the monitor display.

Next, in S94, the user waits for a key input or the timer started in S93 is timed out,
If the time is up in S95, the process proceeds to S911, and if there is a key input, the process proceeds to S96.

In S96, it is determined whether the input key is the stop key. And if it is a stop key, S
If not, the process proceeds to S97. S9
At 7, it is determined whether the input key is the set key.
If it is not the set key input, the process proceeds to S98, and it is determined whether the input key is the arrow key. If it is not the arrow key, it means that the key is not the key expected by the apparatus, and the process returns to S94.

If the set key is determined in S97,
The process proceeds to S99, and the monitor extension function such as the error re-transmission described in FIG. 5 and the like can be executed. After executing the extended function, the process proceeds to S910 or S911. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the process proceeds to S911, and the monitor display is exited.

In S910, the arrow key is pressed to select the next display item. The next item is selected according to the priority order described above.

After selecting in S910, the process returns to S92,
The selected display element is displayed on the monitor.

In S911, the monitoring timer set in S93 is cleared. In step S912, the monitor display is exited and the standby screen display is performed. Further, in S913, the monitor display flag is turned off.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that FIGS. 1 to 4 of the first embodiment described above are common to this embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted.
Also, the contents common to the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the transition of the display screen in the monitor display item deletion function provided as an extended function of the normal monitor function.

In FIG. 11, (11-1) is a screen display obtained by pressing the set key from the screen display of (3-4), and display data 1111 and 1114 are arrow keys or the like for the user. Is used to encourage the selection. Also, display data 1112
Indicates that the display item is deleted, and is a hollow character to indicate that it is currently selected. The display data 1113 is a display meaning that the document of the display item is printed. With the arrow keys, etc., the blank display can be switched between delete and print.

By depressing the set key from the display of (11-1), the item displayed in (3-4) is deleted, and the display moves to (11-2). (11-2)
The display of is, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when there are two or more display elements under reservation, and is the next reservation of (3-4). In the display of (11-2), display data 1121
Is a title display during reservation, and display data 1122
Is a display of the telephone number of the other party. Further, the display data 1123 indicates the time 13:40 when the document is accumulated, and the display data 1124 indicates that the document is 10 pages accumulated. The display data 1125 is a document mark indicating that the document remains in the memory.

The normal monitor deletion function has been described above. However, as shown in FIG. 11, when deletion is executed, (1
It is difficult for the user to understand whether the item displayed in (3-4) was actually deleted when the display in 1-2) was performed. If there is no item to be displayed next when the item is deleted, the screen returns to the standby screen shown in (3-1), and if the item c2 does not exist, the polling document is displayed. If you do so, the displayed contents will not be uniform,
Give the user a sense of anxiety.

Therefore, FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing the transition of the screen display of the monitor display item deletion function according to the present invention which eliminates the drawbacks of FIG. This will be described below.

In FIG. 12, (12-1) is (11
It is the same as -1) and is a screen display in which the set key is pressed from the screen display in (3-4) above. This (12-1)
When the set key is pressed from the display of, the display moves to (12-2). The display of (12-2) is a diagram showing that the element displayed in (3-4) has been deleted.
This indicates that the display of (12-3) has disappeared from the monitor display and returned to the standby screen display.

As described above, by changing the display from (12-1) to (12-2) and (12-3), the user can delete the reserved item from the monitor display. I can clearly understand that.

In FIG. 12, "(reservation deleted)" is displayed after exiting the monitor display in (12-2).
Is displayed, the display may be performed in the monitor display, or after the reservation deletion display is finished, the display may be returned to the standby screen in which the date and time information is displayed on the first line.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining the internal management block at the time of monitor display, and FIG. 13 (1) is a management diagram when the present invention is used, and is shown in FIGS. 13 (2) and 13 (3). 10] is a control chart when the present invention is not used.

In this figure, the block number part 131
Manages sequential numbers starting from 0, and the display element management unit 132 stores the display elements shown in FIG. The next item number management unit 133 stores the block number to be displayed next when the monitor key is pressed, and the previous item number management unit 134 refers to when the previous display is displayed by the left arrow key or the like. It is a thing.
The number of display elements in the figure will be 10 according to FIG.

FIG. 13A shows an internal management block created when the monitor key is pressed from the standby screen or another display capable of shifting to the monitor display.
Once the management block shown in FIG. 13 (1) is created, the next display can be easily managed unless the reservation is deleted or the item is added while the monitor is displayed. For example, when the monitor key is pressed while displaying the element of block number n, if n + 1 is 10 or more, the element of block number 0 is displayed, and if n + 1 is 9 or less, the element of block number n + 1 Can be displayed. The same control can be applied to the display of the previous item.

However, if the reservation item is deleted or the incoming call is accepted without returning to the standby screen during the monitor display, the internal management block created as shown in FIG. 13A is reconfigured when the monitor key is pressed. However, the following items must be displayed immediately. In order to immediately perform the reconfiguration and immediately determine the next display item, the control shown in FIGS. 13 (2) and 13 (3) can be considered. Less than,
13 (2) and 13 (3) will be described. FIG. 13B shows a next item number management unit that stores the block number to be displayed next to the internal management block shown in FIG. 13A, and a previous item number management unit that is referred to when the previous display is displayed. Is stored. The next item number management unit 133 and the previous item number management unit 134 in FIG. 13 (2) are in the initial state when the monitor key is pressed from the standby screen when the display element is FIG. That is, while the 1st block number is being displayed, 2 is indicated as the block number of the next display item, and 0 is indicated as the block number of the previous display item. If the block number 5 is erased by the reservation deletion during execution of the monitor function, the management block is switched as shown in FIG. 13C. That is, 6 is entered as the next item number of 4, and 4 is entered as the previous item number of 6. That is, in order to immediately perform the reconfiguration and immediately determine the next display item, the internal control becomes troublesome. On the other hand, by not accepting the change of the display item during the monitor display or returning to the standby screen display when the reservation is deleted as in the present invention, the management shown in FIG. 13 (1) can be performed and the internal control can be simplified. Can be achieved.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing the control operation when the monitor key 22 is pressed in this embodiment. This operation incorporates a function of item deletion in the above-described general control of FIG.

First, when the monitor key 22 is pressed, S
At 140, a display item order table is created.
Here, a management table as shown in FIG. 13A is created. Next, in S141, the monitor display flag is turned on. The time designated transmission and the incoming call are controlled by referring to this flag.

Next, in S142, the display elements shown in FIG. 4 and the like are displayed. The order of display is given the above-mentioned priority order. In FIG. 4, f1 is displayed first, and then f2 → g1 → a1 → a2.
→ c1 → c2 → e1 → e2 → d1 are displayed in this order.
Then, the display of the next item can be moved with an arrow key or the like.

Next, in S143, the monitoring timer is started or restarted. As described above, this monitoring timer prevents calls and incoming calls from being made while the monitor is being displayed, but when there is no key input for a certain period of time after the monitor is displayed, it is a monitoring timer for returning to the standby screen. is there.

Next, in S144, a key input from the user or a time-out of the timer started in S143 is waited for. If the time is up in S145, the process proceeds to S1411, and if there is a key input, the process proceeds to S146.

In S146, it is determined whether or not the input key is the stop key. And if it's a stop key,
The process proceeds to S1411, and if not, the process proceeds to S147. In S147, it is determined whether the input key is the set key. If it is not the set key input, S14
The process proceeds to step 8 and it is determined whether the input key is an arrow key.
If it is not the arrow key, it means that the key is not the key expected by the device, and the process returns to S144.

If it is determined in S147 that the key is the set key, the process advances to S149, and the monitor extension function such as cancellation of the reservation described in FIG. 12 and the like can be executed. After executing the extended function, in S1414, it is determined whether the item is deleted by executing the extended function. If it is determined that the item is deleted, in step S1415, (1
Display the deletion message as shown in 2-2),
The process advances to step S1411 to return to the standby screen display.

If it is determined in S1414 that the item is not deleted, the next display item is selected by pressing the arrow key in S1410. The next item is selected according to the priority order described above.

After the selection in S1410, the process returns to S142 and the selected display element is displayed on the monitor.
