2. Description of the Related Art Facsimile machines are indispensable in the information society, but on the other hand, they are wrong FAX machines.
There are also disadvantageous problems for users who use facsimile machines, such as direct mail by FAX and FAX.

In order to prevent such a problem with a facsimile machine, as a measure to prevent erroneous transmission on the transmission side, the sender has a function of registering the telephone number of the called side in advance in the apparatus of the calling side. If you specify an incorrect telephone number, do not perform facsimile transmission, or connect the call to the called facsimile machine and then use the telephone number as the identification ID sent from the called machine. By comparison, a means is adopted in which if they match, a facsimile transmission is performed.

A conventional facsimile apparatus of this type will be described below. FIG. 13 shows the structure of a conventional facsimile apparatus. In FIG. 13, reference numeral 1 is a system control unit for controlling the entire facsimile apparatus,
CP for processing data and running programs
It comprises a U2, a RAM3 for use as a data storage and work area of a control program, and a ROM4 for storing a control program of the apparatus. Reference numeral 5 is a line control unit for connecting to a communication line such as a public line or a private line, 7 is a facsimile communication control unit for performing control for transmitting / receiving facsimile data to / from a communication device connected by a call through the line control unit, 10 Is a bus for transferring control codes and facsimile data, and 11 is a reading unit for taking in a transmission original as data in the apparatus, 1
A recording unit 2 outputs the received facsimile data and transmission history.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14 shows functional blocks of the control program stored in the ROM 4 in the system control unit 1,
A central processing unit 100 that controls each unit of the entire apparatus, a FAX transmission management unit 102 that manages a transmission destination telephone number and transmission retry processing, a FAX transmission processing unit 103 that performs processing such as a FAX communication procedure and data transfer, and a transmission destination. And a logging data management unit 104 for managing a transmission result and outputting it to a recording unit.

FIG. 15 shows a processing flow at the time of transmission. First, in the case of facsimile transmission to a certain destination by automatic calling, the sender inputs the telephone number of the other party to the apparatus and designates the transmission destination (S101). The system control unit 1 checks whether or not the inputted telephone number is valid by comparing it with the telephone number previously recorded in the RAM 3 through the FAX transmission management unit 102 (S102,
P2), if the same number exists, the call is connected through the call processing unit 101 (S103, P1). Here, RAM3
The telephone number recorded in (1) is the telephone number of the destination registered in advance in the apparatus by the sender, and this is recorded in the RAM 3 through the FAX transmission management unit 102. At this time, if the same telephone number does not exist in the RAM 3, the transmission processing is stopped, and the system control unit 1 informs the display unit or the recording unit 1 on the apparatus that the incorrect transmission is designated.
2 to notify the sender and end the processing (S10).
6). If the telephone number matches the registered telephone number, after connecting the call (103, P3), the FAX transmission processing unit 103 sends a CED signal, which is a called station identification signal, from the facsimile machine of the other party. Detect the coming (S
104), the facsimile document is transmitted, and the process ends (S1).
05). At this time, if an abnormality occurs during the transmission of the facsimile document, the result is recorded in the RAM 3 as the transmission result through the logging data management unit 104, and the process ends.

In the example shown here, the legitimacy of the telephone number is checked before connecting the call to the partner machine. This check is performed in the FAX transmission procedure after the call is connected to the partner machine. A method has also been proposed in which a telephone number as an identification ID is acquired, the telephone number is compared with the telephone number registered in the device, and if it exists, transmission processing is performed, and if not, the processing is stopped.

As a countermeasure on the receiving side, as shown in FIG. 16, a configuration in which an operation display unit 13, a storage device 14, a display device 15, a display control unit 16 and a display memory 17 are added to the configuration of FIG. Then, it has a table in which the reception refusal destination identification ID is registered in advance, and as shown in FIG. 17, the call is connected to acquire the identification ID of the other party (S111, S112), and the received image information is temporarily stored in the storage device 14. (S113), after disconnecting the line (S114), the received identification ID is compared with the rejection destination identification ID (S112), and if they do not match, the reception information is fetched in the display memory 17 and displayed on the display device 15. (S116) asks whether to print (S11
7) In case of printing, printing is performed by the recording unit 12 (S11)
6). After printing or when not printing, it is determined whether to reject the reception from the next reception from the next reception (S11).
9) In the case of refusing, the identification ID is registered in the refusal destination identification ID table (S120).

As an example method of rejecting the reception, FIG.
As shown in (1), after the identification ID of the party to whom the call is connected is obtained (S131, S132), the received identification ID and the rejected identification ID are compared (S133), and if they match, the line is immediately disconnected ( (S135), if they do not match, the line is disconnected after the received image information is stored in the storage device 14 (S134, S135). After that, the received image information is taken into the display memory 17 and displayed on the display device 15 (S1
37), it is asked whether or not to print (S138). When printing is to be performed, the recording unit 12 prints (S139). When not printing, it is determined whether to reject the reception from the other party from the next reception (S141), and when rejecting, the identification ID is registered in the table of the identification ID of the rejection destination (S1).
41). After completing these processes, the received image information stored in the storage device 14 is erased (S140).

[0010]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, in order to prevent erroneous transmission, the erroneous transmission preventing function operates for the registered telephone number of the called side, but it is registered. It had the following problems because it was not considered for telephone numbers that are not available.

(1) Since it is difficult to register all the telephone numbers of the called side in the device, it is impossible to check the wrong transmission for a registration failure or a new transmission destination. The process cannot be interrupted even if an attempt is made to send a fax by calling.

(2) If the registered telephone number on the called side is subsequently changed, the erroneous transmission check becomes meaningless, and the facsimile transmission is erroneously attempted regardless of the type of the partner machine. The calling side and the called side consume extra line usage fees and line occupancy time.

(3) In relation to the above (2), when the facsimile is mistakenly sent to the telephone by facsimile, the number of retries at the time of communication error is set on the transmitter side even if the called side disconnects the call. Since the retry process is performed to the wrong destination any number of times, the calling side consumes unnecessary line usage charges, and the called side repeats incorrect faxes. It becomes difficult to do.

Further, there is the following problem when the reception is rejected. (4) In the case of a FAX that rejects reception, there are two methods, one is to temporarily store the image information and delete it without printing, and the other is to interrupt the communication. However, the former method requires a storage device. However, in the latter method, there is a high possibility that a FAX, which has been refused to be received again, is transmitted due to a retry, which is a general function of the facsimile machine.

(5) In the case of a FAX which receives a reception,
A storage device, a display device, and a display memory are required to store and display image information once.

(6) If the next fax is received before registration, such as when the user is absent at the time of reception, the identification ID of the partner station disappears, and the reception ID is registered in the reception refusal destination identification ID table. Can not.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. When the sender mistakenly sends a facsimile to a communication device other than a facsimile device such as a telephone at the time of transmission, the called side communication device sends a facsimile. Error F by making it easy to instruct to stop or transfer
The annoyance due to the AX and the line occupation time are reduced, and the calling side records the interruption of the transmission due to the wrong FAX in the device so that the next FAX transmission is not permitted to the same destination. A remote cancel function is provided so that the sender can know the processing contents such as the interruption due to the mistaken FAX transmission, and the reception of the mistaken FAX etc. is known to the other party without a storage device, a display device, and a display memory when receiving. It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus that can reject a communication refusal without fail and can surely register a communication refusal partner station ID in a table.

[0018]

To achieve the above object, a facsimile apparatus of the present invention comprises a facsimile communication control section for transmitting / receiving facsimile data through a communication line and a system control section for controlling the entire apparatus. And is characterized by having the following configuration.

First, an operation instruction signal detector for detecting an operation instruction signal input from the called communication device, and a communication controller for controlling the facsimile communication controller and the operation instruction signal detector. Further, an operation instruction analysis unit for analyzing a processing operation instruction signal is provided in the system control unit.

Secondly, in addition to the above-mentioned first structure, a voice control section for outputting a voice guidance of a calling side processing function or a caller side information which can be operated from a called side communication device, and a system control. A voice output processing unit for transmitting voice guidance data stored in the RAM or ROM to the voice control unit is provided in the unit.

Thirdly, in addition to the above first configuration, when an operation instruction signal is input from the communication device on the called side, the input instruction content is analyzed and processed by the system control unit, and then the processing content is An operation instruction management unit is provided for recording the called party identification number on the RAM as an operation instruction record.

Fourthly, there is provided a control means for receiving the image information but normally ending without printing.

Fifth, the identification ID of the partner station received in the past
ID management means for storing and managing
A means for selecting and registering D is provided.

[0024]

With the above-described first configuration, after the calling side connects the call with the other party by automatic transmission, the called side gives an operation instruction signal such as a transmission stop instruction or a transfer instruction command using DTMF or the like, and Communication is performed by the calling side by using the operation instruction signal detection unit, the content is analyzed by the operation instruction analysis unit, and then the processing is performed according to the instruction content, so that the calling side mistakenly does not intend to communicate. Even if an attempt is made to send a facsimile to the device, the device on the calling side can be controlled by the operation on the called side.

According to the second configuration, after the call is connected by the automatic transmission, the contents of the operation instruction that can be processed from the calling side and the information of the calling source are sent to the called side as voice guidance. The call side can easily perform processing control such as transmission stop and transfer processing without knowing the function of the calling side.

According to the third configuration, after the call is connected by the automatic transmission, the callee side receives a transmission stop or transfer instruction command, and the caller side performs a process according to the content, and the process content and the callee identification. RAM in the device as a record of operation instructions
By recording the above information, it is possible to prevent a recurrence such as an erroneous transmission due to an erroneous fax by referring to the instruction record and processing the same destination in the operation instruction record.

According to the above-mentioned fourth configuration, the FAX which refuses the reception does not store or display the image information and normally terminates the communication, so that the reception is rejected without the storage device, the display device and the display memory. You can do it, and the other party understands that it has ended, so you will not receive a retry transmission.

According to the fifth configuration, the FAX that has received the reception is immediately printed, and when the user sees the FAX and does not want to receive it again from the transmitting station, the identification ID of the receiving station at the time of reception is transmitted to the facsimile apparatus. Since it is stored, it can be selected from the history and registered in the table of the reception refusal destination identification ID. Further, even if another FAX is newly received before registration, since the identification ID is recorded as a history, it is possible to retroactively register.

It is stored in the RAM 3 or the ROM 4 in the system control unit 1 and is transferred to the voice control unit 8 through the bus 10 and the communication control unit 9. Thereafter, the system control unit 1 waits for a CED signal or a DTMF (operation instruction signal) to be sent from the called side while sending the voice guidance. If the CED signal is sent here, the facsimile transmission process (S15) is performed, and if the DTMF is sent, the retry stop process (S16,
Perform S17).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, after the call is connected by the automatic transmission, the contents of the operation instruction that can be processed from the calling side and the information of the calling source are sent to the called side as voice guidance. By doing so, the caller side information such as who the caller is and the type of processing function of the caller that can be controlled from the callee before the facsimile document is actually received by the callee communication device. Anyone can easily control processing such as transmission stop and transfer processing without knowing it.

(Third Embodiment) Next, the operation of the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 7, and 8. The structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. Similar to FIG. 2, FIG. 7 shows the functional blocks of the control program. The difference from the configuration of FIG. 2 is that it receives an operation instruction signal input from the called-side communication device and processes it according to the instruction signal. The operation instruction management unit 107 for adding the instruction content and the called party identification number (telephone number) to the RAM 3 in the system control unit 1 as an operation instruction record is added.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described below with reference to the processing flow during transmission in FIG. Similar to the first embodiment, when facsimile transmission is performed to a certain destination by automatic calling, the sender inputs the telephone number of the other party to the device and designates the transmission destination (S).
21). The system control unit 1 searches the operation instruction record on the RAM 3 to determine whether the input telephone number (callee identification number) is a number that has been instructed by the callee in the past (S22), and exists. If not, the call is connected to the other party (S23, P1), and the CED signal or DTMF from the called side

In the operation instruction management unit 107, if it is a CED signal, the FAX transmission management unit 102 is activated to perform a facsimile transmission process (S25), and if it is DTMF, the operation instruction analysis unit 1
Processing is performed according to the instruction content analyzed in 05, and the instruction content is stored in the RAM 3 as an operation instruction record. afterwards,
The operation instruction management unit 107 is the logging data management unit 104.
The above instruction contents are output to the designated output device through the recording unit 12. For example, when the instructed DTMF is a “transmission stop instruction due to an incorrect FAX”, the operation instruction analysis unit 105 passes the transmission stop instruction as an analysis result to the operation instruction management unit 107 through the central processing unit 100 (P
8). Upon receiving the transmission stop instruction, the operation instruction management unit 107 issues a transmission stop instruction to the FAX transmission management unit 102 (S26, P7). The FAX transmission management unit 102 stops the transmission retry control and stops the transmission processing of the FAX transmission processing unit 16 which is waiting for facsimile transmission (S2).

When the telephone number (incoming side identification number) exists in the operation instruction record, the contents of the operation instruction in the operation instruction record for the called side are referred to and the same process as the previous process is performed ( S29). For example, the previous process was "Error F
If the transmission is stopped by AX ”, the transmission process is stopped without connecting the call to the partner device, and the instruction content is output to the output unit.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the sender makes a mistaken fax to a telephone or the like in the past, since the destination and the processing content are stored in the apparatus, the same destination is stored. Can stop sending before connecting the call, false F
Prevents recurrence of AX and reduces line occupancy time and line usage fee due to incorrect FAX.

(Fourth Embodiment) Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12. FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same elements. Figure 9
1 is different from the configuration of FIG. 1 in that an operation display unit 13 as shown in FIG. 11 is added, and the history of the identification ID as shown in FIG. The point is to create a reception refusal table as shown.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to the processing flow at the time of reception in FIG. When receiving the call signal (CNG) from the line when receiving with the facsimile apparatus of the present embodiment,
The line controller 5 automatically receives and starts the pre-transmission procedure for facsimile (S31). Here, the facsimile communication control unit 7 notifies the system control unit 1 of the identification ID of the transmitting station from the transmission terminal identification signal (TSI) received by the line control unit 5 in the pre-transmission procedure (S32). The system control unit 1 compares this identification ID with the identification ID of the reception refusal destination table in the RAM 3 to determine whether communication is possible (S33). If it matches the identification ID of the reception refusal destination table, reception is rejected,
The process moves to the reception of image information (S34). This reception processing is very different from the normal reception of image information. Only the image information signal is received and printing is not performed. The multi-page (MPS) and original transmission end (EOP) control signals from the transmission side are received. In response, all are returned by normal reception (MCF). When the reception of the image information is normally completed up to the last page, the line is disconnected and the reception refusal sequence is ended (S37). On the other hand, when the identification ID of the transmitting station and the identification ID of the reception refusal destination table do not match, reception is possible, and the CPU 2 of the system control unit 1
Adds the identification ID to the history of the identification ID in RAM3 (S3
5) The image information is received and printed (S36). The image information reception here is normal image information reception. The received image information is printed line by line, and when the image information reception and printing are completed up to the last page, the line is disconnected and communication is resumed. It ends (S37).

(Fifth Embodiment) Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 11. FIG.
9 shows the operation display unit 13 of FIG.
A number display portion for displaying D, 202 is an up / down scroll button, 203 is a history display button for displaying the history of identification IDs, and 204 is a registration button for registering the identification ID in the reception refusal destination table.

The operation of the facsimile apparatus configured as described above will be described. When the user confirms the image information printed in the fourth embodiment and then rejects the FAX from the sender from the next time, the receiving side user presses the history button 20.
When 3 is pressed, the CPU 2 of the system control unit 1
The latest history of the identification ID of the
Display to. When the displayed identification ID is not the identification ID of the partner station that refuses to receive, when the scroll button 202 is pressed, the CPU 2 traces back one by one in the order of reception and displays the identification ID on the number display unit 201. When the identification ID for refusing reception is displayed, the registration button is pressed 204, and the CPU 2 adds the displayed identification ID to the reception refusal table of the RAM 3 and deletes it from the history of the identification ID. This completes the setting of reception refusal.

[0044]

As described above, the facsimile apparatus of the present invention detects the operation instruction signal from the facsimile communication control unit for transmitting / receiving the facsimile data through the communication line and the destination communication apparatus connected to the communication line. An operation instruction signal detector for controlling the facsimile communication controller and a communication controller for controlling the operation instruction signal detector,
A system control unit for controlling the entire apparatus, an operation instruction analysis unit for analyzing an operation instruction signal in the system control unit, a call processing unit for making a call connection to a designated destination, and a facsimile F for managing transmission processing
Since the AX transmission management unit and the FAX transmission processing for performing the facsimile transmission processing are provided, firstly, after the calling side connects the call with the partner machine by automatic transmission, the called side uses DTMF or the like. By issuing an instruction to stop transmission or transfer instruction, the calling side detects it using the operation instruction signal detection unit, the operation instruction analysis unit analyzes the content, and the processing is performed in accordance with the instruction content. Even if the caller mistakenly attempts to send a facsimile to an unintended communication device such as a telephone, the callee's device can be controlled by the operation of the callee, so the sending process of the caller can be stopped. Therefore, it is possible to reduce unnecessary line usage fees and occupied time due to a mistake FAX.

Second, a voice control unit for outputting voice guidance of processing capacity and functions of the calling side and calling source information that can be operated from the communication device of the called side, and a RAM or ROM in the system control unit. By adding a voice output processing unit for transmitting the voice guidance data stored in the voice control unit to the voice control unit, after the call is connected by the automatic transmission, it is possible to operate from the calling side to the called side. Since the processing capability and functions of the calling side and the information of the calling source are sent out as voice guidance, it is easy for the called side to control processing such as transmission stop and transfer processing without knowing the processing capability and functions of the calling side. You can

Thirdly, when an operation instruction signal is input from the communication device on the called side, the system controller analyzes and processes the input instruction content, and then gives an operation instruction on the processing content and the identification number on the called side. By adding an operation instruction management unit for recording on the RAM as a record, the same destination in the operation instruction record is processed by referring to the operation instruction record at the time of the next transmission, and an error caused by the FAX error. Recurrence such as transmission can be prevented.

Fourthly, in the FAX reception from the refusal partner,
Since the communication is normally terminated and the image information is not printed, the sending side facsimile device does not receive the retry transmission and the paper is not wastefully consumed. Also, when receiving a fax from a person who does not refuse, only the identification ID of the partner station is stored,
Since the received image information is printed at the same time as it is received, there is no need for a storage device for storing the image information or a display device for displaying.

Fifth, even if another new FAX reception is received before registration in the reception refusal destination table,
Since the identification ID of the partner station remains as a history, it is possible to register the identification ID of the recipient station of the FAX received in the past in the reception refusal table.
