When it is determined that the switch has been turned on, the process shifts to the READ routine,
If the "*" key is not turned on, the process proceeds to the WRITE routine.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a READ routine. The READ routine is a routine for reading data from the card and performing printout or data communication.

In step R1, the card unit 14
A read command signal is output to 0, data is read from the card by the card unit 140, and the read data is stored in the memory in step R2.

In step R3, it is determined whether or not data is transmitted by determining whether or not the start key is turned on. If data is transmitted, the process proceeds to step R8. If not, the process proceeds to step R4.

At step R4, the report key (see FIG.
If the data stored in the memory is character code data in steps R5, R6 and R7, it is expanded into pixel data by the character generator 80 and once stored in the image memory 70, and then the recording processing unit 4
0, data is recorded on the recording paper by the recording unit 30.

From step R3 to step R8, the communication line is connected to the destination, and when the line is connected to the destination, the process proceeds to step R9.

In step R9, a facsimile communication procedure (protocol) is performed. This facsimile communication procedure is performed in accordance with CCITT's recommendation, and in this communication procedure, information regarding the function of the partner device is exchanged. Based on this information, it is determined in step R10 whether the character code communication is possible. If the character code communication is possible, the data stored in the memory is transmitted in steps R11 and R12.

If character code communication is not possible in step R10, the flow advances to step R13 to expand the data stored in the memory into pixel data by the character generator 80 and temporarily store it in the image memory 70. Then, in step R14, the image data in the image memory 70 is converted to M
H (Modified I Huffman), MR (Modified Read), etc. are encoded and transmitted in steps R15 and R16.

According to the above READ routine, the card data is printed out by the recording unit 30 or transmitted.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a WRITE routine.

In step W1 of FIG. 5, "year / month / day"
The display unit 50-5 is caused to display the "time".

In step W2, the date and time data input by the numeric keypad 50-2 is stored in the memory, and when the start key is turned on in step W3, the process proceeds to step W4.

At step W4, the message "Bashowo INP"
UT ”is displayed on the display unit 50-5, and step W5
When the data of the place input by the one-touch key 50-3 is stored in the memory and the start key is confirmed to be ON in step W6, the process proceeds to step W7.

In step W7, "Aite Shimei I
"NPUT" is displayed on the display unit 50-5, the data of the other party's name and the other party's telephone number input by the one-touch key 50-3 are stored in the memory in step W8, and the start key-on is confirmed in step W9.
Go to 0.

When it is confirmed that the function key (see FIG. 2) is turned on in step W10, the process proceeds to step W11. If the function key is not turned on, step W
Return to 1 and perform data key input again.

When the process proceeds from step W10 to step W11, each of the above-mentioned data stored in the memory in steps W11 and W12 is output to the card unit 140, and the data is written to the card inserted in the card unit 140.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data written in FIG. 5, but the data writing to the card is shown in FIG.
The write routine is not limited to the above, and may be a text of a normal character code and image data read by the reading unit 10 or data in which a character code and image data are mixed. However, image data is encoded by MH, MR, etc., and the data is compressed and written to the card. When the character code and the image data are mixed, the character code and the identification code of the image data are added to the front of the data and written on the card.
Similarly, in the case of data transmission described with reference to FIG. 4, if the destination device has a function of receiving data in which character codes and image data are mixed, the data read from the card is transmitted as it is, and the other party If the device does not have the function of receiving mixed data, all the data is converted into image data and then transmitted.

As described above, the card data can be rewritten by the operation display section of the facsimile apparatus.

Further, the card data can be printed out on the recording unit 30 of the facsimile apparatus.

Further, the card data can be transmitted to the partner device as character code data or image data.

Next, the case of recording the transmitted data in the card will be described. FIG. 7 is a flow chart for writing the received data in the card.

When the call signal from the line is confirmed in step N1 of FIG. 7, the facsimile communication procedure (protocol) is exchanged in step N2. The information about the communication mode exchanged in this protocol determines the communication mode. Based on the information about the communication mode, it is determined whether the progress mode is selected or not. If the transmitting side (in this case, the partner device) desires the confidential mode, the process proceeds to step N4. If the confidential mode is not desired, the process proceeds to step N19. Proceed to.

In the case of the confidential mode, the display device 50-5 displays that it is confidential in step N4 (for example, "confidential reception"), and in steps N5, N6 and N7, the image data is received and the received image data is displayed as an image. It is stored in the memory 70. In this case, it is the image data MH stored in the image memory 70 or encoded data such as MR.

In the case of confidential reception, a code indicating that it is a confidential, a code indicating a confidential party (a secret code), data of the name of the confidential party, and the name of the sender before the image data
Information such as a telephone number is added.

In step N8, the name data of the confidential partner is displayed on the display unit 50-5 to inform the operator on the receiving side of who the confidential data is.

The iron operator inserts the card corresponding to the name of the other party displayed on the display unit 50-5 into the card unit 1
Insert in 40. Then steps N9 to N1
In step 0, it is determined whether the personal identification code is set on the card inserted in the card unit 140. As a result, if the personal identification code is set on the card, the process proceeds to step N11. If the personal identification code is not set on the card, the process proceeds to step N16, where the confidential personal identification code is set and the confidential personal identification code is not input. Prevent reading of data from the card.

Next, in steps N17 and N18, the data stored in the image memory is written to the card.

When it is judged that the personal identification code is set on the card and the process proceeds from step N10 to step N11, the personal identification code is read from the card and compared with the confidential personal identification code.
If no match is found, the process returns to step N8 to allow the operator to insert the card again.

When the process proceeds from step N12 to step N13, the remaining memory capacity of the card is compared with the capacity of the received data, and if the card is writable, step N14,
Write data to the card at N15. If the memory cannot be stored in step N13, the process proceeds to step N27, and a display indicating that the card has a small capacity and cannot be written, for example, "capacity is small" is displayed, and in step N28, the name data of the partner of the progress is displayed. Is printed out by the recording unit 30.

If the confidential mode is not desired in step N3, the process proceeds to step N19 and the card unit 1
It is determined whether or not the card is inserted in 40, and if the card is inserted, the process proceeds to step N20, and if the card is not inserted, the process proceeds to step N24.

When the iron card is inserted, the received data is written to the card. In step N21, the number of originals received by the protocol performed in step N2 is compared with the recordable capacity of the card for recording. If possible, the data is received in steps N21, N22 and N23 and the received data is written to the card by the card unit 140.

If the card is not inserted in the card unit 140 in step N19 or the recording is impossible in step N20, the data is received in steps N24, N25 and M26 and printed out by the recording unit 30.

When writing data to the card, the received data is stored as coded data such as MH or MR. This is to reduce the amount of data stored in the card as much as possible so that more original data can be input.

As described in the explanation of FIG. 7, if a card for each individual is created in advance and a personal identification code corresponding to each individual is set on each card, the operator can display the card of the person according to the display of the confidential partner name. May be inserted into the card unit 140. This writes confidential data to the card.

Since the confidential data is written in the card dedicated to the confidential partner, the confidential data can be delivered to the confidential partner quickly.

In the case of confidential data, the confidential data in the memory had to be stored until the secret code was input by the confidential partner and the confidential data stored in the memory was output. By writing confidential data to the card, the memory of the facsimile device can be used effectively at all times. In the case of confidential information, it is not limited to a card, and may be a storage medium such as a floppy disk in which a personal identification code is set or a removable ROM.

Further, even in normal data reception, recording paper can be saved by writing the received data to a card that can read and write data, and at the same time, there is a great effect in data storage and management.

In the above embodiments, the IC card was described as an example of a card capable of writing and reading data, but in recent years, an optical card which is a card having an optical storage medium capable of optically recording or reproducing information. The optical card has a larger storage capacity than the IC card. By using this optical card in this embodiment, the amount of recordable data can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the facsimile machine is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to the facsimile machine and can be applied to any data communication apparatus such as telex for communicating character code data. However, in the case of telex etc., all the data written in the card is character code data.

[0069]

According to the present invention, when the code corresponding to the recipient of the detected received data and the code stored in the storage medium match, the received data stored in the storage means is stored in the storage medium. Since it is stored, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that received data addressed to one person is stored in the storage medium of another person.
