Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable registering the telephone number of an opposite party who executes not reception but transmission by providing a storage part where the rejection or the permission of reception is registered for every calling destination telephone number. SOLUTION: A facsimile equipment is provided with the storage part where the rejection or the permission of reception is registered for every calling destination telephone number. A transmission side executes dial-transmission so as to call a reception side and transmits CNG when the reception side receives the call. The reception side transmits CED for CNG in accordance with normal facsimile procedure and transmits DIS, etc., (#11 and #12). Then, TSI, DCS and TCF are transmitted from the transmission side so that the reception side extracts the telephone number of the transmission side from TSI within them, judges whether reception rejection is executed or not, interrupts line connection when it is judged that reception is rejected and executes facsimile reception in accordance with normal procedure when it is judged that reception is not rejected (#13-#16).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a communication terminal device capable of registering rejection of reception.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, communication terminal devices such as telephones and facsimile devices have been provided with a speed dial function and a one-touch dial function, so that a call can be made to a telephone number registered in advance with a few key operations. ing. These devices also have a direct mail prevention (junk mail prevention) function. When a call is received from a telephone number registered in advance for speed dialing or the like, reception starts. When there is a call from, the reception can be refused.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional communication terminal device, reception of a telephone number registered for abbreviated dialing cannot be rejected. In other words, it is not possible to set to transmit (call) by abbreviated number or the like, but to reject reception. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal device capable of registering a telephone number of a partner who performs transmission but does not perform reception.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, a communication terminal device according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit in which rejection or permission of reception is registered for each telephone number of a call destination. When the telephone number registered in the storage unit is designated, the caller of the telephone number is called, and when a call is made, the reception refusal is stored in the storage unit with reference to the storage unit. Is not received.

[0005] Here, a telephone number registration memory for abbreviated dialing or one-touch dialing may be used in the storage unit. When abbreviated dialing key or one-touch dialing key is operated, the corresponding number is registered. While calling the other party of the telephone number, if a call is received from another communication terminal device, if reception refusal is registered for the telephone number of this other party's device, the line is immediately disconnected or the call is made. Act to not respond to If reception permission is registered for the other party's telephone number, automatic reception is started and reception is started. Further, when the telephone number itself is not registered in the memory, reception is permitted or rejected according to the specifications of the device.

Claims 2 and 3 propose rejection or registration of reception in the storage unit of claim 1.
Claim 2 is performed at the time of registering the telephone number of the call destination in the storage unit, and claim 3 is performed before inputting the telephone number of the other party and calling the other party. That is, in claim 2, when registering a telephone number for a speed dial or the like in the memory by key operation, reception rejection / reception permission is also registered. According to the third aspect, when dialing the telephone number of the other party directly by key operation, reception rejection / reception permission is set before calling. Then, the unregistered telephone number and the corresponding reception rejection / reception permission can be additionally registered together in a memory for speed dialing or the like.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the communication terminal device of the present invention. Here, the configuration of the facsimile apparatus F is shown as an example of the communication terminal apparatus. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a telephone, a personal computer having a data communication function, or the like.

As shown in the figure, the facsimile apparatus F
A main control unit 1 configured by a CPU or the like and controlling the following units; a RAM 2 forming a storage unit of the present invention and storing various data; an NCU 3 (network control device) connecting a telephone line L; A modem 4 for performing signal conversion for performing facsimile communication via the line L, an operation unit 5 including ten keys and various setting keys, a display unit 6 including a liquid crystal screen and LEDs, and reading an image of a document The apparatus includes a reading unit 7 for scanning and a recording unit 8 for recording an image or the like received by facsimile on recording paper.

In the facsimile apparatus F, the main control unit 1
Encodes the image data of the document read by the reading unit 7 and transmits the data to the other party's communication terminal device via the telephone line L by the modem 4 and the NCU 3 while the image data received via the telephone line L Is decoded and printed out on a recording sheet by the recording unit 8. In addition, telephone numbers for speed dial and one-touch dial are registered in the RAM 2. When a speed dial key or a one-touch dial key of the operation unit 5 is operated, the registered telephone number is automatically stored. Make a call.

In the present invention, rejection or permission of reception is registered for each telephone number in addition to telephone numbers in correspondence with abbreviated dialing and the like. If the reception refusal is stored for the other party's telephone number, the reception is not performed. That is, the main control unit 1 operates so as to disconnect the line so as to immediately end the communication or not respond to the call if the reception rejection is registered. on the other hand,
If the reception permission is registered, automatic reception is performed and facsimile reception is started. If the telephone number of the other party is not registered, the reception may be refused in the same manner as the case where the reception refuse is registered. As a result, the conventional reception rejection function (direct mail prevention function, junk mail prevention function) can be expanded and applied to telephone numbers registered for speed dialing or the like.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the above operation together with the operation of the facsimile apparatus (communication terminal apparatus) on the transmitting side. The transmitting side sends a dial (transmits a selection signal) to call the receiving side, and if the receiving side receives an incoming call, C
NG is transmitted (# 1, # 2). On the receiving side, CED is transmitted to CNG and DIS and the like are transmitted in accordance with a normal facsimile communication procedure (# 11, # 12). Then, the TSI, DCS, and TCF are transmitted from the transmission side (# 3, # 4).
(Communication terminal identification signal)
It is determined whether or not to execute rejection (junk mail prevention processing) (junk mail determination processing). If it is determined that the junk mail prevention process is to be performed,
A CN is transmitted to disconnect the line, but if it is determined that the junk mail prevention process is not to be performed, facsimile reception is performed according to a normal procedure (# 13 to # 1).
6).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the junk mail judging process (# 13). When the TSI is detected, the lower four digits of the telephone number are extracted, and the extracted number is sequentially compared with the lower four digits of the telephone number for a plurality of speed dials stored in the RAM 2. As a result of this comparison, if there is a matching number, and there is one for which rejection has been set for that number, the process proceeds to junk mail prevention processing, and although there is a matching number, reception rejection is set. If none of them are present (reception permission is set for all), the processing shifts to normal reception processing. Here, unlike the case described above, when there is no registration of the number itself,
This shows a case where normal reception is performed instead of reception rejection. In this case, only the telephone number of the partner whose reception is to be rejected needs to be registered (S100
To S103).

Although the case where the last four digits of the telephone number are compared is shown here, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, all digits may be compared. Further, the other party's telephone number is not limited to the one extracted from the TSI, but uses the outgoing telephone number display service to detect the originating telephone number transmitted from the exchange before calling and receive the telephone number based on this. Rejection may be determined. According to this, even a telephone that does not execute the facsimile communication procedure can reject the reception by not responding to the call or disconnecting the line immediately after receiving the call.

Next, an example of registration in the RAM 2 is shown in FIG. The telephone number of the other party is registered by a binary coded decimal code or the like for each of the speed dial and the one-touch dial, and when transmitting, when one of the speed dial keys or the one-touch dial keys of the operation unit 5 is operated,
Call the telephone number corresponding to the operated dial. On the other hand, at the time of reception, reception rejection "1" or reception permission "0" is registered corresponding to each of the other party's telephone numbers.

Next, a method of registering rejection or permission of reception in the RAM 2 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the first registration method. Here, a case is shown in which, when a telephone number of a call destination for speed dial is registered, reception refusal / reception permission is also registered.

Each time a telephone number for speed dial is registered one by one, a message such as "Do you want to prevent Junk Mail Y / N" or an LED display is displayed on the display unit 6, and the operation unit 5 is accordingly operated. By operating the "YES" key, the reception rejection (ON) is registered, and by operating the "NO" key, the reception permission (OFF) is registered (the above, S
200 to S208).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the second registration method. Here, a case is shown in which the telephone number of the other party is operated and input, and reception rejection / reception permission is registered for the input telephone number before calling the other party (before transmission). When all digits of the telephone number of the other party are directly input by operating the numeric keypad of the operation unit 5, a message prompting registration of reception rejection / reception permission is displayed on the display unit 6. In addition, registration of reception rejection / reception permission is additionally registered together with the telephone number to be called. afterwards,
The user dials the input telephone number and starts transmission (S300 to S306).

In this case, it is desirable to urge reception rejection / reception permission registration only when the telephone number has not been registered. According to this, when the telephone number is not registered, the registration of the telephone number and the reception refusal / reception permission is automatically prompted without performing the registration processing of the telephone number as shown in FIG. If the registration is performed at this time, the reception referring to this registration can be performed at the time of subsequent reception.

In this case, the telephone number is registered even when the reception is permitted. However, when all the telephone numbers other than the telephone number for which the reception refusal is registered are permitted, the reception is permitted.
The telephone number may not be registered. Further, the telephone number registered at the time of direct transmission may be registered in another memory instead of being additionally registered in a memory such as a speed dial, and in this case, this memory is also referred to at the time of reception. Need to be targeted.

[0020]

As can be understood from the above description, according to the communication terminal device of the first aspect of the present invention, if registration of reception rejection or permission is registered for each telephone number of a call destination, While the registered telephone number can be called, reception can be refused. According to the second aspect, when registering the telephone number of the call destination, reception rejection /
Receive permission can be registered. According to the third aspect, before directly calling the other party's telephone number, reception rejection / reception permission can be registered together with the telephone number.
