Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile,
Regarding parent-child connection to one line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, when a facsimile is installed on each floor and a department belonging to that floor receives a facsimile on that floor, a line has been drawn for each facsimile. In this case, the line installation cost and the basic charge are required for the number of installed lines, and the cost is high.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.
The purpose is to receive on one line.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a first input section for inputting an identification number or the like for identifying the facsimile of the other party, a first storage section for storing the input data, A transmitting terminal having a first facsimile function unit having a facsimile function for reading and compressing an original and transmitting the original document; and a first control unit for controlling each unit; and a second facsimile function unit for decompressing received data to issue a print. An automatic incoming call unit that automatically receives a predetermined number of calls, a detection unit that detects the identification number, a second input unit that inputs the identification number of the own device, a second storage unit that stores input data, and detection data of the detection unit And a comparison unit for comparing data in the second storage unit, a setting unit for setting the second facsimile function unit to a master or slave function, and a second control unit for controlling each unit. Is composed of a end, the receiving terminal 1
Parent and child are connected in parallel to two lines.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the desired facsimile identification number for transmitting to a plurality of facsimiles connected in parallel to one line is inputted, and if the facsimile transmission is carried out, the data is sent to / from the master unit. Binary procedures for exchange are exchanged. Then, the identification number is sent to the other party, the detection units of the master unit and the slave unit detect this identification number, each comparison unit determines the corresponding facsimile, the operation of the facsimile not applicable is stopped, and the corresponding facsimile is The print data is issued and the print data is issued.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a transmitting facsimile (original terminal), which has a first input section 2 for inputting an identification number for identifying the facsimile of the other party, a first storage section 3 for storing the input data, and an original document. It is composed of a first facsimile function unit 4 having a facsimile function of reading, compressing, and transmitting, a first input unit 2, a first storage unit 3, and a first control unit 5 for controlling the first facsimile function unit 4. Reference numeral 6 is a line, which is connected to a facsimile of the other party through an exchange (not shown). Reference numeral 7 denotes a master facsimile which receives the transmitted facsimile data, which includes a second facsimile function unit 8 for decompressing the received data for printing and issuing, an automatic receiving unit 9 for automatically receiving a predetermined number of calls, and a transmitted identification number. Detecting unit 10 for detecting, second input unit 11 for inputting own identification number, second storing unit 12 for storing input data, comparing unit 13 for comparing detected data of detecting unit 10 and data of second storing unit 12 The second facsimile function unit 8 includes a setting unit 14 that performs settings for operating the second facsimile function unit 8 as a master unit or a slave unit, and a second control unit 15 that controls each unit.

Reference numerals 7A and 7B are slave facsimiles that receive the transmitted facsimile data, and have the same function as the above-mentioned master facsimile 7, and the setting unit 14 for operating the second facsimile function unit 8 as a slave unit. Is set as a slave. The above configuration will be described according to the sequence of FIG. When the use of the facsimile is started, an identification number for identifying each facsimile, for example, "01" for the master facsimile 7 and "0" for the slave facsimile 7A.
2 ”, and the slave facsimile 7B receives“ 03 ”from the second input unit 11 of each device and stores it in the second storage unit 12. The setting unit 14 of the master facsimile 7 is set as the master, and the setting units 14 of the slave facsimiles 7A and 7B are set as the slaves. Further, the number of call responses of the automatic call receiving section 9 of the master facsimile 7 and all of the slave facsimiles 7A and 7B is set to, for example, the same number of times, three times. When transmitting a document, the first input unit 2 of the transmission facsimile 1 identifies the telephone number of the other party and an identification number for specifying the facsimile to be sent, for example, 044-866-1111-02.
And press the transmission start switch (step 1). When the selection signal is sent and the line 6 is connected, the calling signal is sent. When the ringing signal is sounded three times, the automatic facsimile unit 9 of the master facsimile 7 and the slave facsimiles 7A and 7B automatically receives the call, and the master facsimile 7 sends a response signal (ST2). At this time, all the slave facsimiles 7A,
7B enters the reception standby state and waits until the identification signal is transmitted. On the other hand, the sending facsimile machine 1 that received the response signal
Confirms the response signal (ST3), phase A of the control procedure
Ends.

Next, in the phase B, the master facsimile 7 displays the standard function and sends out a DIS signal (ST
4), the transmitting facsimile 1 detects this DIS signal,
Then, the function setting command (DCS) is sent (ST
5). At this time, the first control unit 5 reads the identification number “02” from the first storage unit 3 and sends it from the first facsimile function unit 4. Base unit facsimile 7, handset facsimile 7A,
The detection unit 10 of 7B detects "02" of this identification number (ST6), and each comparison unit 13 has its own second storage unit 12.
And the identification number stored in. Since the identification number of the slave facsimile 7A is "02", the comparison unit 13 of the device 7A sends a coincidence signal, so the second control unit 15 activates the device 7A (ST7), (while the other device The control unit stops the device), sets the function, completes the reception preparation, and sends the reception preparation completion confirmation signal CRF (ST8). The transmitting facsimile machine 1 receives this signal and completes the phase B. Next, the transmission facsimile 1 reads the original by the facsimile function unit 4 and transmits the data to the slave facsimile 7A via the line 6. If the transmission facsimile 1 does not have a function of designating the identification number, or if the identification number is not designated, the master facsimile 7 receives and completes all the processing. If a plurality of slaves are connected in parallel in the first round and the line voltage drops due to internal resistance, an adapter that allows a plurality of facsimiles to be connected in parallel may be used.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of facsimiles can be connected to one line and which facsimile is to be received can be designated on the transmitting side. There is a great advantage that the same effect can be obtained without installing a line.
