Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a priority receiving for emergency even if it is in broadcast operation by providing a key for requesting the priority receiving and pressing it during the broadcast operation to allow acceptance of the receiving for certain time. CONSTITUTION:The priority receiving key 11a is installed in a operating part 11. During the broadcast operation, when a transmission to a remote station is completed, a control part 18 reads a register 14, and activates a timer 15 to enter a receiving-waite status if it receives the priority receiving request. If it is called from another FAX equipment, it resets the timer 15, and enter the priority receiving status. On the completion of the priority receiving, it resets the register 14, and restarts the broadcast. If it is not called from other FAX equipment within the timer setting time, it resets the register 14, and restarts the broadcast.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a 7-axis device, and particularly to a priority reception system during sequential broadcast transmission.

In recent years, storage facsimiles with a broadcast function have become popular.

Broadcasting is a method of sequentially transmitting a file of accumulated facsimile signals to multiple facsimile machines, and if a document is sent from another facsimile machine to the facsimile machine during the same phase, the facsimile machine will always be busy and receive urgent information. Therefore, there is a need for a facsimile machine that is capable of priority reception when broadcasting. [Prior art] The conventional method of storage facsimile machines will be explained using Fig. 2. .

FIG. 2(a) is a block diagram of the storage facsimile apparatus, and FIG. 2(b) is a time chart of the broadcast operation.

In FIG. 2(a), 13 is a control section, 6 is a reading section, 7 is a band compression section, 4 is a storage section, 8 is a transmission control section, 9 is a modulation/demodulation section, 10 is a network control section, and 12 is an automatic dialing section. It is.

In the case of broadcast transmission, the control unit 13 reads the facsimile signal by reading N56 and stores the facsimile signal m1
lil$4, and then activates the automatic dialing unit 12 according to the specified destination stored in the storage unit 4. After establishing one line, the transmission control unit 8° modulation/demodulation unit 9. The nine facsimile signals stored in the storage section 4 through the network control section 10 are sequentially transmitted.

In the case of facsimile signal reception, the network control section 10 is switched, and the modulation/demodulation section 9. Bandwidth expansion Tl51 through transmission control unit 8
The received image signal is input to 7, expanded to the original signal, and then sent to the recording section 16.
It is reproduced and recorded in .

FIG. 2(a) shows a time chart of the sequential broadcast operation, and FIG. 2(1) shows the sequential transmission to destinations A, B, and C. During the period shown in (2) in the same figure, other facsimile machines will be busy. [Problem to be solved by the invention] In the above conventional example, the broadcast will be busy, and reception from other facsimile machines will be interrupted. [Means for solving the problem] The problem with the above conventional method is that there is a key input means for setting priority reception to take priority over transmission, and a key input means for setting priority reception to take priority over transmission, and means for keeping the network control device in an idle state for a predetermined period of time after completing transmission to the other party and waiting for reception; This problem can be solved by the facsimile apparatus having the priority reception method of the present invention, which restarts the canceled broadcast when the broadcast is completed.

[For production]

According to the present invention, a priority reception f: request key is provided, and reception can be accepted for a certain period of time by pressing the broadcast core key, so even if broadcasting is in progress for a long time, urgent reception is provided. can be prioritized.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1(a) is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, #! Figure 1 (
b) is a time chart explaining the operation.

In FIG. 1(a), l1m is a priority reception key, 14 is a register, 15 is a timer, and 18 is a control section.

Note that the same symbols in the figures represent the same objects.

The functions of each part related to priority reception ff1K will be described below.Priority reception*-1la is installed in the operation section 11, and is pressed down by the operator when priority reception is performed, and set in the register 14.

After the timer 15 expansion priority reception key 11m is pressed and the transmission of the document to the destination being sent at that time is completed, the timer 15 is activated by the control unit 18 and sends a timeout signal to the control unit 18 after a predetermined period of time, for example, one minute. Send @the Thailand! 15h
The register 14 is set to p when the priority reception key 11m is pressed, and is reset by the timeout signal and the priority reception completion signal. Therefore, if the register 14 is set, other priority reception cannot be accepted.

, the function of each part mentioned above performs priority reception operation 31 times (b

(1) During broadcast operation, when transmission for each destination is completed, the control unit 18 reads the register 14 and determines whether or not there is a priority reception request. sense. When there is a priority reception request, the timer 15 is activated (tl), and the network control unit enters a state in which it is not used, that is, a reception standby state.

(2) When there are too many calls from other facsimile machines, the timer 15 is reset (t2) and the machine enters a priority reception state.

(3) When priority reception is completed, the register 14ft is reset and the canceled broadcast is restarted. (t4)
(4) If there is no call from another facsimile machine within the general timer period, the timer 15 outputs a timeout signal to reset the register 14t and restart the broadcast. (t3) In addition to the above, other 7 actions during broadcasting t') If there is a need for emergency reception from a device, by pressing the priority reception key provided on the device, you can After the previous transmission is completed, the device enters a reception standby state and becomes ready for emergency reception. Furthermore, if no ejection occurs from other facsimile machines due to some reason, it is possible to return to broadcasting after 5 predetermined time periods and continue file transmission.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when urgent reception is required during broadcasting from multiple facsimile machines, priority reception is enabled by pressing the priority reception key◇
