Next, the operation of the facsimile apparatus main body A having the above configuration will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the incoming call processing in the facsimile apparatus main body A shown in FIG. When starting the incoming call processing, the CPU 1
Following the reversal of the polarity of the public telephone line 21, the NCU 2 receives the terminal activation signal to start the incoming call processing.

First, the CPU 1 closes the contact by the line relay 30 in response to the reception of the terminal activation signal,
It is determined whether or not the NCU 2 has received the calling identification signal (S1).

When a calling identification signal is received (S1: YE
S), the CPU 1 demodulates the received calling identification signal by the modem 4 to obtain the source telephone number from the calling identification signal (S2).

CPU 1 having acquired the source telephone number causes NCU 2 to transmit a reception completion signal indicating the completion of reception of the caller identification signal (S3). This completes the primary response process without charging the source.

At this time, the CPU 1 temporarily stores the acquired caller telephone number in the RAM 3 (S4) and displays the caller telephone number on the display A2 of the display unit 14 (S5).

Subsequently, when the NCU 2 receives the calling signal, the CPU 1 obtains the reception date and time from the clock unit 16 and temporarily stores it in the RAM 3 (S6).

Further, the CPU 1 makes a ringing sound by making full use of the NCU 2 in response to the reception of the calling signal (S1).
7).

When the ringing tone sounds and the source telephone number is displayed on the display A2, the CPU 1 detects whether or not the telephone is in the off-hook state based on the hook signal from the hook switch circuit 33. (S8). That is, the CPU 1 detects whether or not the handset or the like has been picked up and responded in response to the reception of the call signal.

When the off-hook state is detected (S8: YES), the CPU 1 stops ringing (S9) and the line is closed via the hook switch circuit 33 of the NCU 2. Is detected (S1
0).

Immediately after detecting that the line is closed, C
The PU 1 creates response presence / absence information containing a response to the ringing of the ringing tone, and temporarily stores the response presence / absence information in the RAM 3 (S11). Here, the response presence / absence information is a minimum of 1-bit data corresponding to the presence / absence of response processing, and is a result of the reception history together with the previously stored source telephone number and reception date and time.

The CPU that detects the line connection in this way
1 terminates the execution of the program related to the incoming call processing, and then shifts to processing for monitoring the line connection status (S1).
2). By starting the process of S12, a secondary response process in a state in which a caller who can perform a two-way call or the like is charged is started.

When the processing of S12 is started, the CPU 1
Detects again whether it is in the on-hook state based on the hook signal from the hook switch circuit 33 again (S13). That is, the CPU 1 detects whether or not the line is released by placing the handset or the like.

When the on-hook state is detected (S13: YES), the CPU 1 detects that the line has been released via the hook switch circuit 33 of the NCU 2 (S14) and stores the line in the RAM3. The caller's telephone number, reception date and time,
The result of the incoming call history is stored in the incoming call history storage area of the OM 6 (S15), and thereafter, a series of processing operations relating to the incoming call processing is ended.

In S13, when the line connection is continued without being set to the on-hook state (S1)
3: NO), the CPU 1 returns to S12 and continues monitoring the line connection status.

In S8, if the off-hook state is not set (S8: NO), that is, if no response is made in response to the reception of the calling signal, CPU 1 returns to S7 to continue ringing the ringing sound.

In S1, when the caller identification signal is not received (S1: NO), for example, when the caller's communication terminal is a public telephone, or when it is impossible to notify the telephone number based on NDS The CPU 1 jumps to S6 and performs the subsequent processing operations. In this case, since the caller's telephone number is not notified, the caller's telephone number is not stored in the RAM 3 and the display result of the incoming call history is displayed on the display A2. , Blank areas, etc.

During the processing operation related to the incoming call processing described above, there is a case where a line disconnection signal such as a tone signal is received when the originating communication terminal is turned on-hook. When such a line disconnection signal is received, C
PU1 stops the processing operation performed until the line disconnection signal is received, and performs the interrupt processing.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation procedure of the interrupt processing during the incoming call processing. As shown in FIG. 8, when the interrupt processing is started by the reception of the line disconnection signal, the CPU 1 The processing operation performed so far, for example, the processing operation such as ringing of a ringing tone is stopped (S2).
1).

The CPU 1 that has stopped the processing operation being executed by the interrupt processing writes the result of the incoming call history stored in the RAM 3 into the incoming call history storage area of the EEPROM 6 at the time of the stoppage (S22). End the subroutine.

To explain based on a specific example, after the source telephone number is obtained by the processing operations of S1 to S6 shown in FIG. 7, the interrupt processing is started while the processing operations of S7 and S8 are repeated. Then, the incoming call processing ends without detecting the off-hook state. In this case, CPU1
Creates response presence / absence information indicating that no response has been received, and stores the response presence / absence information together with the source telephone number and the reception date and time as an incoming call history result in the EEPROM 6.
Will be stored.

When the result of the incoming call history stored in the EEPROM 6 is displayed on the display A2 as shown in FIG. 4, for example, as shown in FIG. You can confirm that there was a call.

On the other hand, if the interrupt processing is started without starting the interrupt processing or during the processing operation of S12 shown in FIG. Will be done. In this case, the CPU
1 prepares response presence / absence information that indicates that a response has been made, and stores the response presence / absence information in the EEPROM 6 together with the source telephone number and the reception date and time as a reception history result.

When the result of the incoming call history stored in the EEPROM 6 is displayed on the display A2, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, when a call signal is received, someone answers the caller of the caller telephone number C. You can confirm that you have done.

When the reception history result including such response presence / absence information is printed out from the printing unit 12 as a reception management report, the output result includes the transmission source telephone number and the reception date and time received in the past as well as each transmission source report. A list of incoming call history results containing whether or not a response has been received is output.

When the call history button is pressed on the operation unit 13 after displaying and confirming the incoming call history result on the display A2, the CPU 1 makes full use of the modem 4 using the caller telephone number included in the displayed incoming call history result. Then, the call signal is modulated and transmitted to the public telephone line 21 via the NCU 2.

Therefore, according to the incoming call process described above, when a call signal is received from a caller, it is detected whether or not a response process has been performed to the caller in response to the reception, and the detection result indicates The response presence / absence information created based on the information is stored in the EEPROM 6 together with the caller's telephone number and the reception date and time as a reception history result.
Display the received call history results stored in the ROM 6 on the display A2.
Or output it from the printing unit 12 as a reception management report, among the senders left as the result of the incoming call history, It is possible to confirm the fact that response processing has been performed on the transmission source.

Also, the display A
2, a call signal can be sent to the caller remaining in the call history result based on the caller phone number displayed and output by step 2 above. While checking the presence information,
A call signal can be transmitted to a previously received caller according to the presence or absence of a response process.

Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the transmission processing in the facsimile apparatus main body A shown in FIG. 2. The transmission processing will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9, first, the CPU 1 detects whether or not a call destination telephone number has been input by a key input operation of a numeric button or a registration button on the operation unit 13 (S31).

When the call destination telephone number is input (S31:
YES), the CPU 1 displays the input call destination telephone number on the display A2 of the display unit 14 (S32).

After the display, the CPU 1 detects whether the transmission button or the like of the operation unit 13 is operated by key input, or whether the handset or the like is lifted, that is, whether or not it is in the off-hook state ( S33).

When the off-hook state is detected (S33: YES), the CPU 1 detects that the line is closed via the hook switch circuit 33 of the NCU 2 (S34).

Immediately after detecting that the line is closed, C
The PU 1 causes the input call destination telephone number to be transmitted as a call signal to the public telephone line 21 via the NCU 2 (S
35).

When the calling signal is sent out, the CPU
1 temporarily stores the call destination telephone number, which is the content of the call signal, in the RAM 3 (S36).

Subsequently, the CPU 1 obtains the transmission date and time from the clock unit 16 and temporarily stores it in the RAM 3 (S3).
7).

The CPU 1 having once stored the call destination telephone number while detecting the line closing in this way ends the execution of the program relating to the calling process, and then proceeds to the process of monitoring the line connection status ( S38). In the process of S38, the CPU 1 detects a ringing tone (ringback tone) and a busy tone (busy tone) notified from the exchange. When such a tone signal as a ringing tone or a busy tone is no longer detected, a two-way call or the like is enabled.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation procedure of the line monitoring process shown in FIG. 9. The line monitoring process will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The CPU 1 detects a tone signal such as a ringing tone or a busy tone (S51).

When the tone signal is no longer detected (S
51: NO), that is, when the call destination responds in the off-hook state, the CPU 1 receives a response signal from the exchange (S52), and starts communication processing via the NCU 2 (S53). This enables two-way communication and the like.

Thereafter, the CPU 1 creates response presence / absence information containing the fact that the callee has answered the call in response to the call, and temporarily stores the response presence / absence information in the RAM 3 (S54). The response presence / absence information is data of a minimum of 1 bit corresponding to the presence / absence of response processing of the call destination.
This is a call history result together with the call destination telephone number and the call date and time previously stored.

If the detection of the tone signal continues in S51 (S51: YES), the CPU 1 executes the processing operation of the next S39 shown in FIG. At this time, the RAM 3
The response presence / absence information indicating that the call destination did not respond in response to the call is stored as a default, and the response presence / absence information is C
In accordance with the control of the PU 1, the transmission history result is stored in the EEPROM 6 together with the call destination telephone number and the like.

Returning to FIG. 9, the processing operation after S38 will be described. The CPU 1 that has completed the line monitoring processing shown in FIG. 10 determines whether or not it is in the on-hook state based on the hook signal from the hook switch circuit 33. Is detected (S39). That is, the CPU 1 detects whether or not the line is released by placing the handset or the like.

If the on-hook state is detected (S39: YES), the CPU 1 detects that the line has been released via the hook switch circuit 33 of the NCU 2 (S40) and stores the line in the RAM 3. The destination telephone number, the date and time of the call, and the presence or absence of the response
The result of the transmission history is stored in the transmission history storage area of the OM 6 (S41), and thereafter, a series of processing operations relating to this transmission processing is ended.

In S39, when the line connection is continued without being set to the on-hook state (S3
9: NO), the CPU 1 returns to S38 and continues monitoring the line connection status.

In S33, if it is not set to the off-hook state (S33: NO), that is, if no operation for line connection is performed, the CPU 1 returns to S32 and continues to display the input call destination telephone number. Let it.

In S31, when the call destination telephone number is not input (S31: NO), CPU 1 detects whether or not it is in the off-hook state in the same manner as in S33 (S42).

When the off-hook state is detected (S42: YES), the CPU 1 detects that the line is closed via the hook switch circuit 33 of the NCU 2 (S43).

After detecting that the line has been closed, the CP
U1 detects whether a call destination telephone number has been input in the same manner as in the processing of S31 (S44).

When the destination telephone number is input (S44:
YES), the CPU 1 executes a series of processing operations after S35.

Conversely, if the call destination telephone number is not input after detecting the line connection (S44: NO), the CPU 1
Determines that a timeout has occurred by counting the elapse of a predetermined time (S45: YES), and ends the execution of the program related to the transmission processing without storing the transmission history result.

If it is not determined in S45 that a timeout has occurred (S45: NO), the CPU 1 continues to wait for the input of the call destination telephone number in S44 until a predetermined time has elapsed.

In this manner, in the above-described line monitoring process in S38, when a series of processes from S51 to S54 is performed, that is, when the called party answers, or stored in the EEPROM 6 after the end of the call. When the transmitted call history result is displayed on the display A2, the call destination of the call destination telephone number responds in response to the transmission of the call signal, similarly to the incoming call history result shown in FIG. 5 described above. You can check.

On the other hand, if the call processing is terminated as it is after jumping from S51 to S39, that is, if the called party does not answer, if the call history result stored in EEPROM 6 is displayed on display A2, 4, it can be confirmed that the call destination, which should have received the calling signal, did not answer in response to the transmission of the calling signal.

When the transmission history result including such response presence / absence information is printed out from the printing unit 12 as a transmission management report, the output result includes the transmission destination telephone number and transmission date and time of each transmission. A transmission history result containing whether or not the callee responded is output as a list.

When the transmission button is pressed on the operation unit 13 after displaying and confirming the transmission history result on the display A2, the CPU 1 changes the calling destination telephone number included in the displayed transmission history result to the modem 4. A redial function is executed to make full use of the modulation of the call signal and send the call signal again to the public telephone line 21 via the NCU 2.

Therefore, according to the calling process described above, after transmitting a calling signal to a call destination, it is detected whether or not a response process has been performed at the call destination in response to the transmission. The response presence / absence information created based on the detection result is stored in the EEPROM 6 together with the call destination telephone number and the transmission date and time as the transmission history result.
The transmission history result stored in the ROM 6 is displayed on the display A2.
If the printout is displayed on the display unit or printed out from the printing unit 12 as a transmission management report, the contents of the response history information corresponding to the call destination among the call destinations remaining as the transmission history result can be checked. It is possible to confirm the fact that a response process has been performed with any call destination.

Also, as a transmission history result, display A
2, a call signal can be sent to a call destination remaining in the call history result based on the call destination telephone number displayed and output by the display device 2 and displayed as a call history result together with the call destination telephone number. While checking the response information
According to the presence or absence of the response processing, a call signal can be transmitted again to the call destination that has previously transmitted the call.

It is to be noted that any of the above-described incoming call processing and outgoing call processing can be applied to the case where facsimile communication is performed. For example, if facsimile data could not be received due to some problem in the incoming call process, response presence / absence information indicating that no facsimile data was received is stored in the incoming call history storage area together with the source telephone number and the reception date and time as the incoming call history result. .
On the other hand, when the facsimile machine of the call destination is performing facsimile communication with another destination in the outgoing call processing, response presence / absence information indicating that the call destination did not receive the facsimile data as a call history result. The call destination telephone number and the date and time of the call are stored in the call history storage area.
