Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate confirmation of destination by providing a memory that stores telephone number and name of destination in a facsimile device provided with automatic dialing function and displaying the name of destination when automatic dialing is made. CONSTITUTION:Telephone number and name of destination corresponding to shortened code are stored in a memory 2. When the shortened code is inputted from a keyboard 5, address setting of the memory 2 is made by a code discriminating device 6 and an address setting device 7. Data in the memory 2 are sent to a displaying buffer 8. A character generator 9 is operated and the name of destination is displayed in a display unit 10. Data in the memory 2 are read out by a CPU11 and sent to a pulse generator 13 through an output port 12. The pulse generator 13 generates dial pulse corresponding to the data and calls a receiver.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Regarding the Simili device.

In an auto-dial type facsimile machine that does not require a telephone response, it is difficult to confirm whether the transmitted document has definitely reached the desired destination.

The above auto-dial function means that several destination phone numbers are stored in memory in advance, input operations corresponding to each phone number are set, and one of the operations
By doing this, the corresponding telephone number will be automatically dialed.

A device that displays the telephone number on the display when dialing has already been proposed, and although it is possible to confirm the destination as described above, the telephone number is usually 10.
Since the numbers are consecutive digits, it is troublesome to check them one by one, and they are often sent without confirmation, so they have not been very effective.

The present invention has been provided in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is intended to enable easy confirmation of the destination in an auto-dial type facsimile machine.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.

The figure shows a part of the circuit of a facsimile device according to the present invention, in which (1) is an operation key, (2) is a writable memory,
(3) is a display device, and (4) is an auto-dial device.

The operation key (1) is a kill board (5) that performs various input operations.
), a code discrimination device (6) that discriminates a shortened code inputted from the keyboard (5), which will be described later, and the memory (
2) and an address setting device (7) for setting the address. The data accumulated in the memory (2) is transferred to the display buffer (8) and converted into an address output according to the data, and the output is used to control the character generator (9).
) emits a character pattern signal. The pattern signal is converted into a serial video signal and then visually displayed on a display (10) such as a CRT or LED. The data in the memory (2) above is stored in the C only for the auto dial device (4).
Read by PU (11) and output capo-1-(12
) connected to the telephone line via a pulse generator (13)
supplied to (14) is a line monitoring device that monitors the state of the line, and acts on the CPU (11) to control the operation of the pulse generator (13).

To explain the operation of this device described above, first, the telephone numbers and names of a large number of destinations are each associated with a shortened code consisting of about two digits, and the codes and corresponding telephone numbers and names are entered on the keyboard (5 ). The above code is used as address data to the memory (2) by the code discrimination device (6) and address setting device (7), and the phone number and name are stored in the memory (2) according to the address by the L code. be remembered.

Next, by inputting the above code and a transmission command manually using the keyboard (5), a display CPU (not shown) reads each data of the telephone number and name corresponding to the above code from the memory (2), and displays the data in the display buffer ( 8) and the display device (10) via the character generator (9).
displayed above. At this time, the auto dial CP
The dial data in the memory (2) is read by U (11), and the pulse generator (13) sends out a dial pulse corresponding to the dial data to page the receiver.

That is, the name of the destination is displayed in text along with the telephone number of the destination on the display (10), which allows the operator to easily detect whether there is a transmission error or not. You can also check for mistakes at the same time.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the telephone number and name of the destination are stored together in the memory (2), and at the time of transmission, automatic dialing is performed based on the queen's telephone number.
Since the name is displayed at the same time, the destination can be easily confirmed by the name, which is convenient because transmission errors can be reduced.
