Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having a built-in or external telephone, and more particularly to a facsimile machine which is easy to use in a manual reception mode.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A facsimile apparatus has a structure in which an automatic reception mode and a manual reception mode can be set according to the environment of use. When the telephone and the facsimile machine share one line, the manual reception mode is generally set. When the operator receives a call from the calling side facsimile machine in which the automatic transmission mode is set in the facsimile machine in which the manual reception mode is set, the calling side facsimile machine is built in or outside the called side facsimile machine. Immediately after receiving a call from the installed telephone, the CNG signal is transmitted. Therefore, the operator of the called facsimile machine
The CNG signal is only heard as an audible sound from the speaker of the handset, and the reception operation is not started unless the start key of the facsimile device is operated. The CNG signal is an audible sound control signal that informs the called side that "a facsimile signal will be transmitted" and has a frequency of 1100 Hz ±.
A signal of 38 Hz is transmitted for 0.5 seconds, and a 3-second pause is one cycle, and is a signal transmitted at a maximum of 35 ± 5 seconds.
Therefore, a person who does not understand the meaning of the CNG signal or a person who is unfamiliar with the operation of the facsimile device cannot understand the intention that the calling side wants to transmit the facsimile signal, and cannot move to the next operation. Therefore, in many cases, the handset is left as it is (on-hook state) and the connection with the calling side is interrupted, and the calling side operator must repeat the transmission operation of the facsimile signal many times, There is a problem that information cannot be transmitted smoothly.

As a means for eliminating such inconvenience,
Conventionally, a facsimile apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05-336293 is known. In the facsimile device described in this publication, CNG is received after an incoming call in the manual reception mode.
When the signal is monitored and the CNG signal is detected, the calling side determines that the device is a facsimile device and instructs the operation procedure for receiving the facsimile signal by a voice signal. Even a person who does not know the operation or an unfamiliar person can easily receive the facsimile signal.

[0004]

By the way, the CNG signal must be transmitted in the automatic transmission mode without fail, but in the manual transmission mode, there is an international agreement (international recommendation) that transmission is optional. , There may be a model that does not send the CNG signal in the manual transmission mode. Therefore, in the conventional device described in the above publication,
In the manual reception mode, if the calling side is a facsimile machine of manual transmission and the facsimile machine of a model that does not send out the CNG signal in the manual transmission mode, the CN
Since the G signal is not transmitted, it cannot be identified that the calling side is the facsimile apparatus, and the voice signal for instructing the receiving operation procedure of the facsimile signal is not output.

Even in such a case, usually, after the called operator picks up the handset to hear the ringing sound of the telephone, the calling operator says, "The original will be sent by facsimile. Is transmitted, the operator on the called side can recognize that the other party is a facsimile machine. However, as described above, since the operation procedure for receiving a facsimile signal is not output as a voice signal, if the person who picks up the handset at the called side does not know the operation of the facsimile device, he / she wants to send a facsimile signal. Even if the caller's intention can be understood, a situation occurs in which the operation cannot shift to a facsimile signal reception operation.

Further, in the case where the manually transmitting calling side facsimile machine immediately performs a facsimile signal transmission operation without saying a word after confirming the called side response to the call, the called side does not Since it becomes silent, not only those who are unfamiliar with the operation of the facsimile machine but also those who are accustomed to it may think that the telephone is disconnected and leave the handset as it is (on-hook state) to disconnect the connection with the calling side. There is also.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a facsimile apparatus in which the calling side is manually transmitting in the manual receiving mode, and is C in the manual transmitting mode.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile device capable of preventing the occurrence of communication failure and reliably transmitting information even in the case of a facsimile device of a model that does not send an NG signal.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of a facsimile apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The facsimile apparatus of this example includes an NCU (network control unit) 1, a modem 2, and a built-in telephone 3.
, CNG / silence detection circuit 4, ROM 5, and control unit 6
A RAM 7, a display unit 8, an operation unit 9, a voice memory 10, a voice synthesis circuit 11, a reading unit 12, a reading unit interface 13, a recording unit interface 14, a recording unit 15, and a power supply circuit. 16 and are used for communication using a public telephone line.

The NCU 1 uses the public telephone line, the modem 2, and the built-in telephone 3 based on a control signal from the control unit 6.
Controls connection / disconnection with. The modem 2 converts (demodulates) an analog facsimile signal received via the public telephone line and the NCU 1 into a digital signal, and also converts a digital facsimile signal including image data to be transmitted supplied from the control unit 6 into an analog signal. Convert (modulate) into a signal. The built-in telephone 3 is equipped with a handset 3a having a speaker and a microphone so that it can communicate with the other party.
Based on a control signal from the control unit 6, a speaker outputs an audio signal instructing an operation procedure for receiving a facsimile signal.

The CNG / silence detection circuit 4 is connected to the NCU 1 and monitors the reception of the CNG signal and the silence state on the line after the call is received by the built-in telephone 3, that is, from the time when the operator picks up the handset 3a. When a CNG signal or a silent state is detected, a CNG detection signal indicating “a CNG signal is detected” or a silent state detecting signal indicating “a silent state is detected” is sent to the control unit 6. Here, the silent state means that the signal (voice signal) on the line is interrupted in both directions over a preset reference time (for example, 3 to 6 seconds).

The ROM 5 stores various processing programs for the control section 6 and display data for displaying a procedure for receiving a facsimile signal. The control unit 6 is composed of a CPU (central processing unit) and peripheral auxiliary circuits, reads various processing programs and display data stored in the ROM 5 as appropriate, and controls various parts of the device, such as reception operation control and transmission operation control. Perform display operation control. In addition, the control unit 6
Receives a CNG detection signal from the CNG / silence detection circuit 4 when the manual reception mode is set, determines that the calling side is an automatic transmission facsimile machine, and receives a silence state detection signal. Then, the calling side determines that the facsimile device is a manual transmission device. In either case, the speaker of the handset 3a outputs a voice message to the display unit 8
By displaying it on the screen, the operation procedure for receiving the facsimile signal is instructed. On the other hand, if neither of the detection signals is supplied, it is determined that the calling side is a telephone. RAM7
Is set with a work area of the control unit 6 when the processing program is executed, an image data storage area for storing image data, and the like. This image data storage area is used at the time of reception, for example, when performing proxy reception, and at the time of transmission, when performing timer transmission or broadcast transmission.

The display unit 8 displays the communication status, the procedure for receiving a facsimile signal, and the like, and displays the time and date in the standby status. The operation unit 9 is used to start a reception operation or a transmission operation of a facsimile signal, a start button for setting a manual reception mode / automatic reception mode, and a dial mode or setting of various functions. Equipped with a numeric keypad. The voice memory 10 stores a voice signal output from the speaker of the handset 3a such as a reception operation procedure of a facsimile signal, and the voice synthesis circuit 11 reads and outputs the voice signal according to an instruction from the control unit 6. .

The reading section 12 is realized by a contact type image sensor (photoelectric conversion element) (not shown). When the document detection sensor detects that a document is supplied, the control section 6
Based on a control signal from the above, a conveyance roller (not shown) is driven to sequentially convey the document to the image sensor, read the image data to be transmitted, and send it to the reading unit interface 13. The reading unit interface 13 performs an encoding process on the image data (electrical signal) converted by the image sensor, and then supplies the encoded image data to the control unit 6.

The recording unit interface 14 performs decoding processing on the image data supplied from the modem 2 based on the control signal from the control unit 6, and then supplies the image data to the recording unit 15.
The recording unit 15 includes an output device (not shown) such as a thermal printer, and based on a control signal from the control unit 6, the modem 2
The image data provided by the printer is printed on recording paper such as thermal paper. The power supply circuit 16 converts the AC power from the commercial AC power supply into a predetermined current value and voltage value, and supplies them to each part of the device.

Next, the operation (manual reception operation) of the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. When the calling signal is received, the facsimile reception operation procedure (interruption processing) shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is executed, and the control unit 6 firstly executes the step S1.
It is determined whether this facsimile apparatus is set to the manual reception mode or the reception mode. When the automatic reception mode is set, the public telephone line and the modem 2 are connected to receive an incoming call, and a facsimile control signal or the like supplied via the public telephone line is given to the modem 2. On the other hand, if the manual reception mode is set, the process proceeds to step S2, the bell of the built-in telephone 3 is driven to ring the ringing bell sound, and in step S3, the facsimile is sent in response to the ringing bell sound. The operator of the apparatus determines whether or not the handset 3a of the built-in telephone 3 has been picked up, that is, whether or not the handset 3a is in the off-hook state. If off-hook is detected, step S
Then, the process proceeds to step 4 to execute the incoming call process (this enables the call).

After receiving the call, the control unit 6 proceeds to step S5, and causes the CNG / silence detection circuit 4 to monitor the reception of the CNG signal and the silence state (continuous for 3 to 6 seconds) on the line, and in steps S6 and S7. , CNG signal or silence is detected. At this time, if neither the CNG signal nor the silent state on the line is detected, the control unit 6 displays the facsimile signal reception operation procedure or is voiced during a call, that is, since the calling side is the operator of the telephone. Do not output.

On the other hand, when the CNG signal is detected in step S6, it is known that the calling side is the facsimile machine of automatic transmission, and therefore the control section 6 controls the step S8.
Then, a voice signal for instructing a procedure for receiving a facsimile signal, for example, a message such as "facsimile. Press the start button to receive" is output from the speaker of the handset 3a. Therefore, even if the person who is unfamiliar with the operation of the facsimile device or is unfamiliar,
The output procedure from the speaker of the handset 3a enables the operator to recognize the operation procedure for facsimile reception.

Even if the CNG signal is not detected in step S6, in the following step S7,
When a silent state on the line is detected, the calling side is a facsimile machine of manual transmission and a facsimile machine of a model that does not send out a CNG signal in the manual transmission mode, or the probability is very high. Therefore, the control unit 6 proceeds to step S8 and executes the above-described voice output process.

After the voice output processing, the control section 6 proceeds to step S9, and the display section 8 shows, for example, "Facsimile. When the start button is pressed, the same message as the above-mentioned voice message is displayed as the operation procedure of the facsimile reception. To do."
Is displayed. Therefore, even if you miss the voice message from the speaker of the handset 3a,
The operator can recognize the operation procedure of facsimile reception.

In step S10, it is determined whether or not the start button of the operation unit 9 has been pressed. When the start button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S11, and the control unit 6
Determines whether or not a document is set on the reading unit 12 based on the output of the document detection sensor. When the original is set, the process proceeds to step S12, and the operation of the reading unit 12 is stopped so that the reception signal and the transmission signal are not mixed. Then, in step S13,
Start the operation of receiving a facsimile signal. That is, by disconnecting the public telephone line and the built-in telephone 3 while connecting the public telephone line and the modem 2, the received facsimile signals (facsimile control signal and image signal) are received. When the facsimile communication ends in steps S14 and S15, the line is disconnected and the facsimile receiving operation procedure ends. Then, it waits for the reception of the next call signal.

On the other hand, if the start button is not pressed in step S10, steps S16 and S17 are performed.
Proceed to and monitor for CNG signals or silence. In the case where the calling side facsimile device is a model that sends out a CNG signal, the called side facsimile device cannot send out a response signal corresponding to the CNG signal unless the start button is pressed indefinitely. After a lapse of seconds, the facsimile machine on the calling side stops sending the CNG signal and forcibly disconnects the line. However, in the case where the calling side is a facsimile machine of manual transmission and the facsimile machine of a model that does not send out the CNG signal in the manual transmission mode, the CNG signal is not detected from the beginning.
It is not possible to judge that the line is disconnected only by the judgment in step S16. Therefore, when the silent state is detected without detecting the CNG signal (“NO” in step S16).
If "YES" in step S17), then step S
Returning to step 10, it is again determined whether or not the start button has been pressed.

Further, even if the CNG signal is detected in step S16, the operator puts the handset 3a of the built-in telephone 3 into the on-hook state in step S18 to disconnect the line. Then, this facsimile reception operation procedure is completed. Then, it waits for the reception of the next call signal. However, in the configuration of this example, as described above, even a person who does not know the operation of the facsimile device or an unfamiliar person can recognize the operation procedure of the facsimile reception that the operator should perform by the voice message and the display message. Therefore, it is considered that the situation in which the operator mistakenly thinks that the telephone has been hung up and puts on the handset is significantly reduced.

As described above, according to the above-mentioned structure, the calling side is a facsimile machine of the automatic transmission which transmits the CNG signal, and also a facsimile machine of the manual transmission which does not transmit the CNG signal. Since a voice message and a display message for instructing the signal receiving operation procedure are output, even if a person who is not familiar with the operation of the facsimile device or an unfamiliar person is prevented, the communication failure is prevented from occurring and the information is surely transmitted. be able to.

Explaining in a concrete example, in the manual reception mode, the calling side is a manual transmission facsimile device which does not send out a CNG signal, and the calling side operator says that "the manuscript will be sent from now on". Suppose you press the start button after telling the called operator by telephone. However,
If the called side is an operator who is not familiar with the operation of the facsimile apparatus or an unfamiliar operator, he / she can understand the intention of the calling side to send a facsimile signal, but cannot shift to the receiving operation of the facsimile signal. The called operator is
I am confused for a while, so there is silence on the line. Therefore, the facsimile apparatus of this example detects a silent state, and as a result, a voice message and a display message for instructing a reception operation procedure of a facsimile signal are output.

In the case where the manually transmitting calling side facsimile machine immediately performs a facsimile signal transmission operation without issuing a word after confirming the called side response to the call, the called side Since it becomes silent, not only those who are unfamiliar with the operation of the facsimile machine but also those who are accustomed to it may think that the telephone is cut off and leave the handset as it is to cut off the connection with the calling side. The example facsimile machine detects a silent state, and as a result, the procedure for receiving a facsimile signal is indicated, so that reliable facsimile communication can be performed.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there are design changes and the like within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. Also included in the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the facsimile device has a built-in telephone has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this, and a commercially available telephone may be connected, and a built-in telephone and an external telephone are provided. It may be configured. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the reception operation procedure of the facsimile signal is instructed by the voice unit such as the voice synthesizing circuit or the handset and the display unit is described, but either one may be omitted as appropriate. Further, the function of detecting the CNG signal may be omitted as appropriate.

[0036]

As described above, according to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, when the calling side is an automatic transmission facsimile apparatus which sends out a CNG signal, C
Even in the case of a manual transmission facsimile device that does not send an NG signal, a voice message and a display message instructing the reception operation procedure of the facsimile signal are output, so that even a person who does not know the operation of the facsimile device or an unfamiliar person can use it. The occurrence of communication failure can be prevented.

That is, in the case where the calling side is a facsimile machine for manual transmission and the facsimile machine is of a model that does not transmit the CNG signal in the manual transmission mode,
When the operator on the calling side confirms the response of the called side to the call and immediately performs the transmission operation without making a word, a silent state occurs. At this time, not only those who are unfamiliar with the operation of the facsimile machine but also those who are accustomed to it may think that the telephone has been disconnected and leave the handset as it is (in the on-hook state) to cut off the connection with the calling side. ,
According to the configuration of the present invention, the procedure for receiving the facsimile signal is shown, so that the action of disconnecting the line connection can be avoided in advance, so that the information can be transmitted reliably.
