2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a facsimile apparatus connected to one line (one line), when a facsimile and a telephone are used properly, the line is captured when a CI (call signal) is received and a pseudo CI is given to the telephone. Calls are made by sending the call, and CNG (calling tone signal) from the line is detected during that time. If this is detected, facsimile communication is executed, and if off-hook of the phone can be detected. When a telephone call is made and neither CNG nor telephone off-hook can be detected for a certain period of time, the line is disconnected or facsimile communication is executed.

Also, a user telephone number or user abbreviation (communication name) used for identification of the device itself during facsimile communication.
Was able to register only one case at a time.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the line is once connected, the facsimile and the telephone are switched, and the CNG signal is detected.
When off-hook cannot be detected and the line is disconnected, there is a problem that the caller is charged a telephone fee although he cannot make a facsimile communication or a telephone call.

Further, even when facsimile communication is carried out, since only one user telephone number and one user abbreviation can be registered, effective communication and communication management cannot be provided.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of performing an appropriate reception mode according to an extension designated number and performing effective communication and communication management.

The facsimile apparatus of this embodiment includes a CPU 101 for controlling the entire apparatus, a ROM 102 storing a control program for the CPU 101, a RAM 103 used as a work area for the CPU 101, and an operation unit 104 for an operator to input various keys. A reading unit 105 that reads an original and converts it into an electric signal, a recording unit 106 that outputs an image on a recording paper, a CODEC 107 that encodes and decodes communication data, and a MODEM 108 that modulates and demodulates communication data. , A CML relay 109 for switching the connection of the dial-in line 110 between the telephone side and the facsimile side, a detection circuit 111 for detecting a calling signal from the dial-in line 110, and a line 1 on the telephone 116 side.
It has an H relay circuit 112 for connecting 13 to a dial-in line, a ringing signal generation circuit 114 for sending a ringing signal to a telephone set 116, and an off-hook detection circuit 115 for detecting an off-hook of the telephone set 116.

Normally, the CML relay 109 is
The H relay circuit 11 is connected to the call signal detection circuit 111.
The dial-in line 110 and the line 113 are separated by 2.

In the above structure, various data of the apparatus are registered by the operation unit 104. As an example, the telephone number of the device is “03 3333 0000”, and the abbreviation of the device is “S”.
"engoku" and extension designation numbers are "1111", "22"
22 "," 3333 ", the reception mode for each extension designation number is" TEL "," FAX "," FAX / TEL "
"Switch" and the abbreviation for each extension designation number is "O"
da ”,“ Toyotomi ”,“ Tokugawa ”
It is stored in the RAM 103 by registering.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the processing operation procedure in this embodiment.

First, when a call signal (CI) from the dial-in line 110 is detected by the call signal detection circuit 111 (S201), the CML relay 109 is closed and a primary response is made (S202).

Next, the exchange sends out the extension designation number (extension designation signal) by DTMF.
The signal is received at 108 (S203), and the CML relay 109 is opened (extension designated reception completion signal) (S204).

Next, it is searched by reading the RAM 103 whether or not the extension designation number indicated by the received extension designation signal is registered (S205). Here, for example, if the received extension designation number is a number that is not registered such as "4444", the CML relay 109 is closed (secondary response) again (S206), and the conventional FAX / TEL switching is executed. (S207), facsimile communication or telephone call is performed, and after completion, the system returns to the standby state.

Further, in S205, if the reception extension designation number is registered as "1111", "2222", "3333", the reception mode registered in advance corresponding to the extension designation number is stored in the RAM 103. The data is read and the mode is changed to the reception mode (S208). For example, if the designated extension number is "3333", "FAX / TEL switching" is registered as the corresponding reception mode, so the CML relay 109 is closed (secondary response) again (S206). , Perform the conventional FAX / TEL switch (S
207), facsimile communication or telephone call is performed, and after completion, returns to the standby state.

If the designated extension number is "2222" in S208, "FAX" is registered as the corresponding reception mode, so the CML relay 109 is closed again (secondary response). (S209), facsimile communication is executed (S210), and after completion, returns to the standby state.

Further, in S208, the reception extension designation number is "1".
If it is "111", "TEL" is registered as the corresponding receiving mode, so the calling signal generating circuit 114 sends a calling signal (pseudo CI) only to the telephone set 116 to make a call (S211).

Then, the off-hook detection circuit 115 detects the off-hook of the telephone set 116 (S212),
While the off-hook is not detected, the ringing signal (pseudo CI) is continuously transmitted. When the off-hook of the telephone set 116 is detected, the sending of the ringing signal is stopped, the telephone set 116 is connected (secondary response) to the dial-in line 110 by the H relay circuit 112 (S213), and the call state is set (S2).
14) Then, after completion, return to the standby state.

Next, a case where facsimile communication is performed will be described.

In the above embodiment, the designated extension number is "1".
When it is other than "111", facsimile communication may be performed, but even when "1111", facsimile communication may be performed by manual reception or the like.

Usually, during facsimile communication when calling from this terminal, the telephone number of the device "03 33
33 0000 "and the abbreviated name" Sengoku "of the device are notified to the partner machine, but during facsimile communication at the time of called by dial-in communication, other than the registered registered extension designated number, that is," 1111 "," 222 ".
In cases other than "2" and "3333", the telephone number "03 3333 0000" registered in the device is notified to the partner device, and the device is notified of the abbreviation "Sengoku".

However, the received extension designation number is a registered number, that is, "1111", "2222", "3".
In the case of "333", the number "03" registered in the device
The last 4 digits of "3333 0000" are exchanged to notify the partner machine, and the communication partner machine is notified using the abbreviation registered corresponding to the reception extension number.

For example, the reception extension designation number is "2222".
If so, "03 33332222" is notified to the communication partner device, and "Toyotomi" is notified as an abbreviation.

Even if the reception extension designation number is not registered in the device, the same processing may be performed with the reception extension designation number. Further, in the above embodiment, the extension designation number of the dial-in service is described as 4 digits, but it may be 1 to 3 digits. In addition, the telephone number and abbreviations shown in the above embodiment are used for the LCD of the operation unit 104 during communication.
It may be displayed by a display device or the like, or may be managed by using the telephone number, abbreviation or the like shown in the above-mentioned embodiment in the communication management report or the like.
