CONSTITUTION:A repeater station Y contains a facsimile device which stores the picture signals received from a request station X and can multi-address successively the same picture signal to requested transmitting destinations A-C. This facsimile device holds the repeating control information corresponding to the transmitting destination at a repeating control table M2 and transmits and controls said control information recorded to the table M2 to the station X through a repeating multi-address processing part 17. Then the repeating control record of the table M2 is delivered to the station y as well as to the station X when the repeating multi-address is over or the table M2 is overflowed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides a facsimile device that automatically transmits the relay information when a relay station sequentially reports the same image signal to multiple request destinations and completes the relay communication. A relay management record containing the results is sent to the requesting station so that the requesting station can also recognize the relay report results.

[Conventional technology and problems]

When sending the same document to multiple facsimile machines in remote locations, rather than having the sender send the message directly to them, a relay station is set up at the remote receiving location, data is first sent to this relay station, and then data is sent to the relay station based on this data. It would take less time to use the line to reach the remote location if the relay station were to send the information via facsimile.
Efficient.

By the way, in such a case, there is a problem in that the requesting station cannot determine whether the information from the request source was transmitted correctly unless it knows the broadcast results. Records will be required.

By the way, if such a relay report is carried out.

The requesting station only performs relay request communication once.

Since the communication results of the relay relay cannot be recognized, in order to know the communication results, you must separately request the relay station to send back the transmission management record at the relay station, and select only the communication that you requested from among them. This requires a lot of effort.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a relay waiting management system that eliminates the complexity necessary to know the relay broadcast results in such a relay broadcast system, and enables the relay broadcast results to be automatically reported to the requesting station. The purpose is to provide an automatic record return system.

[Structure of the invention]

In order to achieve this purpose, the relay waiting management record automatic return system of the present invention is a device having a relay rerouting function that can accumulate image signals received from a relay requesting station and sequentially broadcast the same image signals to requested destinations. In.

A relay management table that holds relay management information corresponding to the above-mentioned destination, and a relay redirect processing unit that controls sending of the relay management information recorded in the relay management table to the relay requesting station are provided. The present invention is characterized in that the relay management record of the relay management table is outputted to the local station and transmitted to the relay requesting station at the same time when the management table is over.

[Examples of actual rights to inventions]

The present invention will be described in detail based on one embodiment.

The outline thereof will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a request station X sends facsimiles to child terminals A and B (hereinafter referred to as child terminals).

When broadcasting both the same signals to station C, relay station Y first receives the image signal and its broadcast destination data (telephone number).

relay station Y) and the telephone number of the requesting station/X are sent and held in the memory 3 of the relay station Y. At this time, relay station Y creates a relay management table for each child terminal A, B, and C in memory 3, and records the results of the relay. After setting and broadcasting is completed, the relay management table is read out from the memory 3, and is recorded and outputted by the recording unit 4 of the relay station Y, and is also sent to the requesting station 83''f.The requesting station This relay management table information is stored in the memory 2 (2), and then recorded and outputted by the recording unit 5, and relay station Y sends it to child terminal A.
.

The results reported to B and C can be recognized. At this time, if there are many broadcast destinations and the number of relay management tables exceeds the number while filling in the relay management table, the relay management table is similarly recorded and outputted to the relay station and the requesting station.

In this way, the relay management table is automatically edited at the relay station, outputted to its own station, transmitted to the requesting station, and recorded and outputted, thereby reducing the hassle and hassle at the requesting station and the relay station. It is possible to know the desired report result without the need for

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

Although FIG. 3 is a facsimile machine and shows the status of a relay station, the requesting station also has the same configuration.

We will explain based on this while clarifying the differences between the two.

In FIG. 3, 10 is an operation panel, 11 is a reading/transmitting section, 12 is a receiving/recording section, 13 is a main control section which comprehensively controls the facsimile machine, and includes a relay/return control circuit 14; 16 is a memory, and 16 is a transmission control unit that controls transmission and reception with an external line, as well as a relay notification processing circuit 17 for controlling relay notifications.
] 8 is a modem; 19 is a line unit that acts as an interface to an external line and has an automatic dialing circuit 20 for making calls; 21 is a timer necessary for broadcast control; It sends out a time signal.

Next, the memory 15, relay report processing circuit 17, etc. which are the characteristic parts of the present invention will be described in detail.

Memory] 5 is as shown in FIG. 3 at the relay station.

Image data area M1.in which image data and its attribute data are written. A relay management table M□own telephone number area M8 and the like are provided. In the image data area M, the image information requested for broadcast transmission from the relay requesting station to the child terminals is stored as image data, and the attribute data is also stored as compressed information of the image information, and the broadcast destination child terminals A, B, and C. telephone number, time of first report, number of manuscripts,
The number of output copies, the telephone number of the relay request station, etc. are stored. These data are entered via the main control section 13. Further, the relay management table M is provided with a relay management table corresponding to the child terminals A, B, and C that are the destinations of the broadcast, and the results of broadcasting to each child terminal (relay management record) are entered. This notification result is entered in the relay notification processing circuit 17. The telephone number of the own office is written in the own telephone number area M3. in this case.

The own telephone number is input from the operation panel 10 and written into the memory 15 by the main control section 13. In the case of a relay requesting station, the memory 15 has an image data area M1.
The compressed data of the transmission document read by the reading and transmitting section 11 is stored as image data, and the relay management table M2 is set with the relay results sent from the relay station.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

(1) Relay requesting station X reads the original to be transmitted in its reading and transmitting section 11, and compresses the image signal.

This compressed data is stored in memory 15. At this time, the relay station Y, the relay broadcast destination number, that is, the telephone numbers of the child terminals A, B, and C that are the broadcast destinations, and the specified time.

Create and store tables with compression information such as compression method, number of pages, number of output copies, etc. Then, at the transmission time, these accumulated data, that is, compressed image data and attribute data, are transmitted to relay station Y. At this time, the telephone number of the own station is also added to the above table and transmitted as attribute data.

(2) Relay station Y stores the received image data and attribute data in memory 15. Then, when the time specified in this attribute data arrives, the main control unit 13 reads out the broadcast destination telephone number and sends it to the automatic dialing circuit 2.
The image data accumulated in the memory 15 is transmitted to the broadcast destination by dialing (IL), and the next relay report is carried out in sequence.At this time, one relay management record is created for one relay request. snow.

The management record is entered in the corresponding area of the relay management table M.

(3) When one relay relay is completed, a call is automatically made to the relay requesting station telephone number added to the attribute data, the relay management transmission flag is turned on, and the relay management record written in the CG code is sent. Send as CQ code.

(4) Relay requesting station X stores the received CG code, outputs the stored data, and at the time of recording in the reception recording section 12, converts the data into CG using the relay management transmission flag and creates relay management record data. Output 0 (5) Also, if the relay management record at relay station Y exceeds the limit during relay communication, the relay management record is transmitted, and when this communication is successfully completed, the relay management table M2 is
Clear and restart the relay report.

Needless to say, at this time, the contents of the relay management table to be cleared are also recorded and output.

(6) Also, if the relay requesting station makes an extension call, the call must go through the operator when receiving the relay management record.
Automatic reception becomes impossible. Therefore, when making a relay request, if the telephone number is a zero call (an extension call), the relay management record return refusal flag in the attribute data is turned on.
A relay request communication will be performed. In this case, the relay station only records and outputs the table information at its own station when the relay report is completed or when the relay management table is over, and does not transmit the relay management record to the requesting station.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the broadcast results at the relay station can be automatically sent to the relay requesting station,
The broadcast status is very hard.

Moreover, it can be grasped accurately.
