Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a facsimile equipment capable of designating plural transmission destinations successively by performing only a one easy step dial operation successively. CONSTITUTION:This equipment is constituted in such a way that image memory 1 which scans by reading a document and stores it as image data, and dial registration memory 3 which stores the telephone numbers of plural transmission destinations in accordance with plural one easy step dial keys 2 are provided, and facsimile transmission is performed by reading out the image data stored in the image memory 1 and automatically calling designated plural transmission destinations sequentially only by operating the plural one easy step dial keys 2 successively.

Description

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 memory transmission function capable of automatically calling a plurality of transmission destinations and transmitting them by facsimile simply by operating a plurality of one-touch dial keys in succession. Regarding improvement.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Image data obtained by scanning and scanning a document is temporarily stored in an image memory, and then a plurality of destinations designated in advance are automatically called to perform facsimile transmission. In a conventional facsimile machine equipped with a notification function, when abbreviated numbers and operations with one-touch dial keys are specified in a mixed manner, for example, after operating the one-touch dial keys to specify the destination, the abbreviated numbers are used to When you specify the destination by operating, for example, each time you enter the abbreviated number, enter the [#] key indicating the abbreviated number as a delimiter, and then press the one-touch key to It was necessary to specify the destination.

Therefore, it is necessary to input a delimiter every time the destination is designated, which is inconvenient and requires a long operation time, which is inconvenient.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, according to the present invention, a facsimile can be simply and continuously designated by simply operating only one-touch dial keys without inputting a delimiter. To provide a device.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention, which is proposed to achieve the above object, provides an image memory for reading and scanning a document and storing it as image data, and a plurality of transmissions corresponding to a plurality of one-touch dial keys. It is equipped with a dial registration memory that stores the destination telephone number, and by simply operating multiple one-touch dials continuously, the image data stored in the image memory is read out and the designated multiple destinations are automatically called. It is configured to perform facsimile transmission.

[0006]

According to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, a plurality of destinations can be designated at the time of broadcast transmission by simply operating a plurality of one-touch dial keys continuously.

[0007]

Embodiments of the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIG. 1, the facsimile apparatus F includes an image memory 1 for temporarily accumulating a document scanned and scanned by the image data scanning unit 7 as image data.
, A one-touch dial key 2 and a dial registration memory 3 storing a plurality of destination telephone numbers corresponding to the one-touch dial key 2, and the memory broadcast transmission mode is set by a function switch (not shown) or the like. After selecting, one-touch dial key 2 according to the destination
You can specify and register the original transmission destination by simply operating. When executing the broadcast transmission, the signal processing unit 4
The automatic dial calling means 5 is activated to sequentially automatically call the destinations designated by the one-touch dial keys 2, and the image data stored in the image memory 1 can be transmitted by facsimile.

The image memory 1, the plurality of one-touch dial keys 2 and the dial registration memory 3 are connected to a signal processing section 4 composed of a CPU, and the signal processing section 4 makes a call via a dial automatic calling means 5. It is connected to the line L. The memory 6 stores and stores data necessary for controlling the facsimile device F, and is composed of a RAM or a ROM and is connected to the signal processing unit 4.

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to perform broadcast transmission and time designation transmission, and FIG. 2 shows an operation procedure for broadcast transmission and FIG. 3 shows time designation transmission. That is,
In the broadcast transmission mode, select memory transmission with the function switch etc., and then operate by sequentially operating the one-touch dial keys [A], [B], [C], ... [F] according to the destination. When the start switch is finally operated after designating the destination, the document set on the image data reading / scanning unit 7 is temporarily stored in the image memory 1 as image data and then transmitted by facsimile.

In the time designated transmission, memory transmission is selected by a function switch or the like, and then one-touch dial keys [A], [B] corresponding to the destination are selected.
After sequentially operating [C], ... to specify the destination, and further specifying the transmission time (for example, inputting the transmission time according to the message displayed on the display unit for each operation of the operation key. ), And finally operate the start switch.

In steps 100 to 110 of FIG. 4, the basic operation of the broadcast transmission in the facsimile apparatus F of the present invention is shown. When memory broadcast transmission is designated by operating a function switch, the signal processing unit 4 operates the one-touch dial keys [A], [B], [C] ...
The destination telephone number corresponding to is stored in the dial registration memory 3. Then, when the start switch is operated, the automatic dial calling means 5 is activated to call the destination telephone number stored in the dial registration memory 3, and when the destination responds, the image is sent in accordance with the normal facsimile communication procedure. The image data stored in the memory 1 is transmitted. The calling of the transmission destination and the facsimile transmission are sequentially performed to all the transmission destinations stored in the dial registration memory 3, and when the facsimile transmission to all the designated transmission destinations is completed, the program ends.

[0012]

According to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, it is not necessary to input a delimiter each time a destination telephone number is input as in the conventional case, and a plurality of one-touch dial keys can be operated continuously. Since the destination can be specified, it is easy and convenient to specify the destination when sending a broadcast.
