2. Description of the Related Art When a facsimile is taken as an example of a retransmitting device of a communication device, when a call is made to connect a line to a facsimile, a line is repeatedly sent until the line is connected even when the line is busy. It has a function to try to connect. The procedure of the conventional retransmission device is as follows. 1. Calling ・ Calling for a certain period of time → Disconnect the line and resend. 2. Polling after the line is connected.-Polling for a certain period of time → Disconnecting the line and resending.- The line was disconnected → Resending. 3. Start sending when answering polling ・ Line is disconnected → resend 4. Transmission completes That is, the conventional retransmitting device retransmits a plurality of times even when the communication destination is a general telephone and after the line is disconnected.

[0003]

In the resending device according to the conventional procedure, when a person is connected to a telephone that the person responds to due to an incorrect number or the like, the telephone is called multiple times, which causes trouble to the other party. In addition to that, the problem arises that unnecessary telephone charges must be paid.

The object of the present invention is to send and receive document drawing data through a telephone line, and try to connect the line several times until the other party is connected even when the other party is busy. If a fax is not connected due to a mistake and a person is connected to a telephone that responds, the person on the other side is annoyed by recognizing the voice of the person who responded, canceling the resend, and issuing a warning. Another object of the present invention is to provide a re-transmission device with an annoyance-preventing function, which is designed to prevent calling and to prevent unnecessary telephone charges from being paid.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
Will be described with reference to.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of one embodiment of the present invention. Note that (1) to (14) indicate each step. Call for a certain period of time until the call path is successfully set (1). If the call path is set successfully during that time, it is checked whether a voice signal is detected (2) and whether the measured voiced time is within a certain time. Examine (3). Here, for example, a case where the FAX number is dialed by mistake will be described using the display means as the notification means 30. if,
When a voice such as “high” or “moshimoshi” is detected and the measured voiced time is shorter than a certain time, it is displayed that the communication device type is inappropriate (4) and the call path is disconnected (6 ), And cancels the call path setting again (7). In another example, when a voice such as “Okay Keninatta ...” is detected and the measured voiced time is not shorter than a certain time, it is displayed that there is no communication device corresponding to the destination information (5), The call path is disconnected (6), and the call path setting is canceled again (7).

The steps (8) to (14) are performed by the communication device 1.
0 indicates the function originally possessed. That is, if the call path setting is not successful in step (1), the call is repeatedly made for a fixed time as in step (8). If the call path setting is not successful even after calling for a certain period of time, the call path is disconnected (12) and stopped for a certain period of time (1
4) Start calling again. If no voice signal is detected in step (2), polling is performed for a certain period of time (9), if there is a response to polling (10), transmission is started (11), and if transmission is completed (13). , And if there is no response to the polling in step (10), then steps (12) and (14) described above are performed.

Further, in the step (3) of FIG. 2, when determining the voiced time, the voiced time detecting means 23 continues the presence of the voice signal detected by the voice signal detecting means 22 over a certain time A. When the presence of the voice signal is continuously detected again for a certain period of time A (B> A) after the voice signal is no longer present, the presence of the voice signal is detected. Is determined to be continuous, and if the continuation of the voice signal exceeding the constant time B and exceeding the constant time A is not detected, it is determined that the voiced state has ended, and the time is detected at that time. Complete. This makes it possible to reliably determine the audio signal.

As a human habit, if the user hears the sound of polling when he / she answers an incoming call, he / she often does not speak for a long time and immediately cuts off. Also, sometimes I stay silent for a while without hanging up. In other words, if the call is cut off immediately after the voice, or if there is a silent section for a certain period of time or more, it can be determined that it is an ordinary phone, that is, either a human answering or an answering machine, and a phone number that does not exist. Distinguish from long-duration audio such as announcement tapes.
