Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily perform personal computer communication (such as electronic mail or the like) by storing data in this equipment to be installed between both of communication terminals even when the other communication terminal is not started yet by connecting the device between one communication terminal and a MODEM. CONSTITUTION:A personal computer communication control equipment A is composed of a data input temporary storage means 4, control program storage means 5 and central processing unit for suitably controlling these means and provided between a communication terminal 1 and one side MODEM 3. Thus, the output signal data of a text or the like for the personal computer communication of one communication terminal 1 can be temporarily stored in the personal computer communication control equipment A even when another communication terminal 2 for reception is especially used for any purpose excepting for personal computer communication or the communication terminal 2 is not started yet. Then, since the communication terminal 2 outputs the stored data by requesting connection to the personal computer communication control equipment A as needed, the personal communication such as electronic mail or the like can be satisfactorily performed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be easily connected to a personal computer (e-mail, etc.) even if the other communication terminal is not activated by simply installing it between a communication terminal such as a personal computer and a word processor and a modem. Personal computer communication control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In personal computer communication, which is a conventional electronic mail system, information is exchanged among friends, for internal communication, for regional information, etc. during mutual communication. Further, in information exchange in personal computer communication, it was possible if personal computer communication software was prepared on the one hand and the communication terminal was always activated.

[0003]

However, when the communication terminal is used for a purpose other than personal computer communication, the personal computer communication by the personal computer communication software must be interrupted, which is a serious problem. In other words, there is a drawback that it cannot be used for any purpose other than the personal computer communication during the personal computer communication.

Therefore, it is desired that the personal computer can freely communicate even if the personal computer is originally used.

[0005]

Therefore, as a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present invention have found that the invention can be controlled by a data input temporary storage means, a control program storage means, and these as appropriate. A personal computer communication control device equipped with a central processing unit that can connect between one communication terminal and a modem, so that even if the communication terminal such as the receiving personal computer is originally used, the personal computer output The signal data can be temporarily stored in the device of the present invention and then received by the communication terminal. Therefore, by simply installing the signal data between the communication terminal and the modem, personal computer communication (electronic It is possible to easily perform e-mail etc.) and solve the above problems.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The communication terminals 1 and 2 are personal computers, word processors and the like. The communication terminal 1 is one side and the communication terminal 2 is the other side.

A modem 3 as a modulator / demodulator is connected to the communication terminals 1 and 2. Digital signals from the communication terminals 1 and 2 are converted into analog signals by the modem 3, and vice versa.
It is converted into a digital signal by another modem 3 and input to the communication terminals 2 and 1. The modems 3 and 3 are transmitted by public lines such as telephone lines.

Reference numeral A denotes a personal computer communication control device, which comprises a data input temporary storage means 4 and a control program storage means 5.
And a central processing unit 6 that controls them as appropriate. The personal computer communication control device A is provided between the communication terminal 1 and the modem 3 on one side.

The data input temporary storage means 4 is means for temporarily storing data input signals from the communication terminals 1 and 2, and the input signals are transferred to the central processing unit 6.

The control program storage means 5 stores a program for controlling data, and the control data is transferred to the central processing unit 6.

Further, the personal computer communication control device A includes
Interfaces 7 and 7 called RS-232C are provided,
It is provided so as to be connectable to one communication terminal 1 and one modem 3.

Explaining this action, it is of course possible to exchange information between friends, for in-house communication, for regional information, etc. while the communication terminals 1 and 2 are communicating with each other. Therefore, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the device of the present invention is set to the ON state, and particularly when one communication terminal 1 is used for other work such as personal computer communication other than information exchange, or when the power supply is turned on. If it is turned off, the other communication terminal 2 requests a connection to the personal computer communication control device A via the modem 3 (see S3). If this is YES, the connection password process is not performed (see S4). ), The menu of personal computer communication is displayed, and each operation processing is performed (S2).
reference). Specifically, for example, in the case of writing an e-mail or the like, the address and sender, the title, and the text are input, and necessary information such as the date and time is automatically added. This data is temporarily stored in the data input temporary storage means 4 of the personal computer communication control device A.

Then, one of the communication terminals 1 makes a connection request to the personal computer communication control device A as required (S
If the answer is YES, the personal computer communication menu is displayed and each operation process is performed (see S2). For example, when reading an electronic mail or the like, the number in which the electronic mail or the like is registered can be input, and the data temporarily stored in the data input temporary storage means 4 of the personal computer communication control device A can be output to one communication terminal 1. it can. Personal computer communication such as e-mail can be performed by a series of these operations.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the data input temporary storage means 4, the control program storage means 5, and the central processing unit 6 for appropriately controlling these are provided, and one communication terminal 1 and the modem 3 are provided between them. By using the connectable personal computer communication control device, personal computer communication can be easily performed by simply installing it between the communication terminal 1 such as a personal computer and the modem 3, and in particular, the other communication terminal 2 for receiving is originally Output signal data such as the text of the personal computer communication of the other communication terminal 1 is temporarily stored in the personal computer communication control device of the present invention, even if it is used for (other than personal computer communication) or the communication terminal 2 is not activated. You can keep it.

Then, the communication terminal 2 makes a connection request to the personal computer communication control device A of the present invention as necessary and outputs the stored data, so that personal computer communication such as e-mail can be performed well.

As described above, according to the present invention, in particular, even if the other communication terminal 2 is not activated, data is stored in the present invention between the two communication terminals 1 and 2 so that personal computer communication (e-mail, etc.) can be performed. ) Has the greatest advantage that it can be done easily.
In other words, even if the communication terminal 2 is used for other than personal computer communication, there is an advantage that personal computer communication between the two communication terminals 1 and 2 can be sufficiently performed.
