Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize automatic transmission of the dial pulse signal just with a push of an abbreviated number for a transmitting/receiving facsimile device, by providing a means to store both the call number information of a receiver side and the abbreviated number information assigned to the receiver side. CONSTITUTION:A storage button 28 and then a *-button 25 of a control input part 1 are pushed, and then figure selection buttons 15-24 are selected successively in accordance with an abbreviated number of 2 digits. Furthermore buttons 15-24 are successively selected and pushed in accordance with a prescribed call number. Finally a set button 20 is pushed. In response to these actions, a control circuit 3 controls an RAM5, and the abbreviated number and the call number are stored in the address group of the RAM5 designated by the abbreviated number. For the transmission using the abbreviated number, the button 25 and the abbreviated number of 2 digits are first fed with buttons 15-24, and then a start button 29 is finally pushed. Thus the circuit 3 reads out the call number of the address group of the RAM5 and feeds it to a dial pulse generator 9 to produce a signal. This signal is transmitted to a telephone circuit 14 via a network control circuit 10 to have a connection with the remote side.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described above.

First, if you want to store the abbreviated number and call number in the RAM 5, press the memory button 2s [x-J button 25 in sequence, and then select the number selection buttons 16 to 24 in sequence according to the arbitrary two-digit abbreviated number. Then, according to the predetermined call number, the number selection buttons 16 to 24 are sequentially selected and pressed, and finally, the set button 27 is pressed to complete the process. By the above button operations, the control circuit 3 controls the RAM 5 to read the RAM 5 specified by the abbreviated number.
The abbreviated number and call number are stored in the address group.

Next, if you want to send a facsimile using an abbreviated number,
First, press the rK-J button 25, then press the
It is only necessary to select and press the number selection buttons 15 to 24 in sequence according to the abbreviated digit number, and finally press the start button 29. By the above button operations, the control circuit 3 is transferred to the RAM 5.
control the RAM 5 specified by that abbreviated number.
The first digit of the calling number stored in the 0 address group is input manually to the dial pulse generator 9. As a result, the dial pulse generator 9 outputs a dial pulse signal corresponding to the input numerical value, and when it is finished, requests the control circuit 3 for the second digit of the calling number. Then, the control circuit 3
5. Dial the second digit of the calling number into pulse generator 9.
Control output to . In the same manner as described above, dial pulse signals are sequentially output after changing the last digit. This dial pulse signal is sent to the telephone line 14 via the network control circuit 1Q. When a telephone line is established between the transmitter and the receiver, the reading device 12 reads the transmitted document (not shown) and modulates the signal obtained by the modulation circuit, and this modulated signal is transmitted to the network control circuit 1.
facsimile communication is carried out via telephone line 14 through telephone line 14 and arriving at a receiver (not shown).

When transmitting by calling number, select and press the number selection buttons 16 to 24 in sequence according to the predetermined calling number, and finally press the start button. By operating this button, the control circuit 3 causes the calling number to be transferred to the buffer memory 4 from the first hour to the first hour, and sequentially transfers the calling number from the buffer memory 4 from the first digit to the last digit according to the request from the dial/gurus generator 9. The number is output to the dial pulse generator 9, and transmission is performed in the same manner as in the case of the abbreviated number. It should be noted that this transmission operation using the calling number is inferior to the transmission operation using the abbreviated number 'i knee (, J) because the number selection buttons 15 to 24 have to be pressed more times.

Note that when receiving data, it is not necessary to press the -off button. Simply, a modulated signal input manually to the network control circuit 10 through a telephone line is demodulated in the demodulation circuit 11, and the demodulated signal is input to the recording device 8 to obtain a reproduced image.

Also, if you want to know what kind of abbreviated number is assigned to which called number, press the print button 3.
Press 0. By operating this button, the control circuit 3
The set of abbreviated number and called number stored in 5 is transferred to CPGe.
Enter the information in sequence. Then, the CPGe converts each input number or symbol information into an image signal and inputs it to the line memory 7.
The input image signals are connected to a series of abbreviated numbers and call numbers and stored for each number. By inputting the stored contents of this line memory into the recording device 8, the I
You can also get a copy of a list of abbreviated numbers and dialed numbers.

Depending on the above-mentioned facsimile machine for both sending and receiving,
By allocating an abbreviated number to the calling number of a destination with many communications, the actual calling signal can be automatically generated by simply pressing a button for this abbreviated number. of course,
A dial pulse signal can be generated by pressing a button for a dialing number. You can also obtain a copy of the abbreviated number 3'' and a list of calling numbers.

Note that the pause button 26 is used when making an outside line call from this transmitting/receiving facsimile machine ('(initially). This is to provide a minimum pause of 3 seconds between the brightest [01] and the calling number.

Although the following description has been made with respect to one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the simple display device ii7 is controlled by the control circuit 3.
When connecting to the abbreviated number and sending the abbreviated number ((), the display device displays the abbreviated number and the dialed number, and when sending by the dialed number, the display It is also possible to display only the drawer number.

As is clear from the following explanation, the present invention has a reading means, a modulating means, a demodulating means, and a recording means, and further stores abbreviated number information and destination calling number information in a storage means in advance. Then, in response to the designation of the abbreviated number, the calling signal generating means outputs the calling number information of the corresponding destination, and then the calling number information and the abbreviated number information stored in the storage means are combined. This system is equipped with a control stage that manually inputs j to the recording means via the signal conversion means, and
)t, press the number selection button, and select the abbreviated number r.
4 VC+F It is possible to automatically send out a dial pulse signal according to the corresponding regular calling number, so operation is extremely simple, and a list of abbreviated numbers and corresponding calling numbers can be displayed by pressing a specified button. Since it is possible to obtain a table, it has the effect of being able to know the abbreviated number at any time by looking at this list.
