Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent print-out of undesired information by registering a destination of reception reject in a reception reject destination storage means and allowing a reception reject discrimination means to discriminate the presence of registration of the reception destination so as to reject the reception of a call from the registered destination. CONSTITUTION:A CSI representing a name of a reception reject destination or an RTI representing its code is registered in a reception reject destination storage section 16. Upon the receipt of a call, a CPU 11 gives the RTI or the CSI sent from the opposite party to a reception reject discrimination section 15, which checks whether or not the RTI or the CSI is registered in the storage section 16. When the RTI or the CSI is registered, it is reported to the CPU 11 that the call comes from a destination whose call is to be rejected and the CPU 11 immediately sends a DCN to interrupt the line. Thus, it is prevented that undesired information is printed out on recording paper and waste of the recording paper is avoided.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to prevention of unwanted facsimiles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In facsimile machines, unnecessary information is often sent unilaterally. In order to prevent this unwanted facsimile, a facsimile machine having an unwanted fax prevention function is used. The conventional unwanted fax prevention function registers only the recipients to receive, and selects the unwanted fax prevention function so that only the information from the registered recipients can be received. I do not accept the reception from the other party.

[0003]

However, when the nuisance facsimile prevention function is used, the number of recipients to be received is limited, and the function of the facsimile machine itself cannot be effectively exhibited. In addition, in general, there is a disadvantage in a company that is likely to receive from an unspecified destination if this function is used to prevent the effective use of the facsimile device in order to prevent some unwanted facsimiles. .

The present invention has been made to solve the above disadvantages, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a facsimile apparatus capable of rejecting reception of unnecessary information only to a destination.

[0005]

In a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, a CCITT standard protocol or a non-standard protocol is executed, and a facsimile apparatus capable of recognizing a terminal name from a partner specifies a reception refusal partner. And a reception refusal determination means for determining whether or not the reception is from the other party stored in the reception refusal destination storage means when the reception is made. Characterize.

[0006] Further, when the past communication contents of the received partner are recorded in the communication management report, it is preferable to register the partner in the reception refusal destination storage means.

Further, the reception refusal destination is registered in the reception refusal destination storage means by CSI or RTI, and CSI or RT is registered.
It is advisable to judge the other party who refuses to receive by I.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the information for specifying the reception refusal partner is registered in the reception refusal destination storage means, and when the reception is received, the reception refusal determination means determines whether or not the partner is registered. Whether or not it is a registered partner is rejected, and unnecessary information is prevented from being printed.

When a nuisance facsimile is sent from a recipient who does not want to receive, the past communication management report is confirmed, and the recipient recorded in the communication management report is stored as a reception refusal destination storage means. By registering with, you can prevent the reception of unwanted faxes that are repeatedly sent.

Further, the name of the other party who does not want to receive is C
Register with SI or RTI and reject immediately when receiving from the other party.

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the facsimile apparatus includes a main control unit 1, an operation display unit 2, a scanner unit 3, a plotter unit 4, an encoding / decoding unit 5, a communication control unit 6, a modem 7, and a network control unit 8.
Have. The main control unit 1 is a CPU 11 that manages the entire device.
And a ROM 12 storing a control program and the like, and a RAM
13, an image memory 14, and a reception refusal determination unit 15.

In the RAM 13, a reception refusal destination storage unit 16 for registering information for identifying a reception refusal partner and a communication management report storage for registering a communication management report indicating a past communication state are stored. And part 17. Reception refusal judgment unit 1
When there is a reception, 5 determines whether or not the reception is from the other party stored in the reception refusal destination storage unit 16.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 2 and the signal sequence diagram showing the normal communication of FIG. 3 and the communication when the reception refusal of FIG. 4 is selected. Will be described with reference to a signal sequence diagram showing.

First, the reception refusal destination storage unit 16 repeatedly uses the CSI or RTI to register the number of the other party who does not want to receive due to repeated unwanted facsimiles in the past. After receiving the incoming call in this state (step S1), CED, N
It sends SF, RTI, DIS, CSI and waits for a response from the sender (steps S2 and S3). When the non-standard mode NSS and the RTI indicating the partner code or the standard mode DCS and the CSI indicating the partner name are sent from the transmitting side within a predetermined time (steps S4 and S5), the CPU 11 It is checked whether reception refusal is selected on the operation display unit 2 (step S6). When the refusal of reception is selected, the RTI or CSI sent from the other party is sent to the reception refusal determination unit 15. The reception refusal determination unit 15 uses the RTI or CS
When I is sent, the CSI or RTI registered in the reception refusal destination storage unit 16 is read and the sent RTI or CS is sent.
It is checked whether or not I is registered in the reception refusal destination storage unit 16 (step S7). When the sent RTI or CSI is registered in the reception refusal destination storage unit 16, the CPU 11 indicates that the reception is the reception refusal destination.
Send to. When the CPU 11 is notified that the other party is a reception refusal, it immediately sends DCN to disconnect the line (step S8). In this way, when there is a transmission from the other party that you do not want to receive, the RTI or CSI sent
Can immediately reject the reception. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unnecessary information from being printed on the recording paper, and avoid wasteful use of the recording paper.

Further, the CPU 11 sends the RTI or CSI from the other party, when the refusal of reception is not selected, or when the RTI or CSI of the other party is not registered in the reception refusal destination storage unit 16. After receiving the training according to the communication protocol and sending out the CFR, the normal receiving process is started, and the sent information is printed on the recording paper by the plotter unit 4 (steps S9, S10, S).
11). In this way, it is possible to receive communication from the other party who does not refuse the reception or a new party.

As a result of the operator checking the printed information, if the information is unnecessary information such as direct mail, the operation display unit 2 is operated and the communication management report is displayed. Communication management report stored in the storage unit 17
Read out and print out via the plotter unit 4. If the RTI or CSI of the other party to which unnecessary information is sent is recorded in the communication management report, the operator inputs the communication management number from the operation display unit 2 and the reception refusal destination storage unit 16 Instruct to register at. Upon receiving this instruction, the CPU 11 reads out the RTI or CSI stored in the communication management number entered in the communication management report storage unit 17 and registers it in the reception refusal destination storage unit 16. In this way, when an unwanted facsimile is sent from a destination that you do not want to receive, you can check the past communication management report and reject the RTI or CSI of the other party recorded in the communication management report. By registering in the storage unit 16, it is possible to prevent reception of unwanted facsimiles that are repeatedly sent.

Further, if necessary, the reception refusal destination storage unit 1
By deleting the other party registered in 6, it is possible to newly receive even the other party who did not want to receive until now.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the information for specifying the reception refusal partner is registered in advance, and when the reception is received, the partner is registered as the reception refusal destination by CSI or RTI. If so, by rejecting the reception immediately, it is possible to prevent unsolicited facsimile sent unilaterally.

Further, since it is possible to prevent unnecessary information from being printed on the recording paper, it is possible to prevent waste of the recording paper.

Further, when necessary reception from an unspecified large number or reception from the other party to communicate with for the first time, since the other party is not registered as the other party of refusal of reception, it is possible to receive normally. it can.

When the received information is unnecessary, the past communication management report is confirmed, and the other party recorded in the communication management report is registered as a reception refusal destination so that the information is repeatedly sent. Reception of unwanted facsimiles can be prevented.
