Abstract

PURPOSE:To designate a receiving party or add individual information by transmitting both an original different according to the destination and an original common to all destinations when the original with the same content is transmitted to plural destinations. CONSTITUTION:When the original with the same content is transmitted to plural destinations, first the original common to each destination is read by a reading part 12, added with a code identifying originals, and stored in a temporary storage device 12. At the time of transmission, first a personal computer 20 transfers and stores data on a front page to a temporary storage device 13. Then the telephone number of the destination is transmitted to establish a line, and the data on the front page stored in the device 13 is read out and transmitted. Upon the completion of the transmission, the data on the common original is consecutively transmitted from the device 12. When said processing ends, data is transmitted to the next destination according to a command from the computer 20, and said transmission is repeated until the original is transmitted to all destinations. Thus such transmission that a receiving party is designated and individual information is added can be made.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] By sequentially transmitting a document created for each destination using a personal computer and information read by a facsimile machine and stored as pattern information in a storage device, different patterns can be created for each destination. The image and the image common to each destination are successively sent to each destination.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a method for attaching a cover sheet corresponding to each destination in a facsimile machine having a function of transmitting the same manuscript to multiple destinations.

[Conventional technology]

Facsimile machines with a broadcast function for transmitting the same content to multiple recipients are known, but they have the disadvantage that the recipient cannot be identified because the content sent to each recipient is the same.

There are also systems in which a personal computer is connected to a facsimile machine, but this only shares the control function of the facsimile machine, or creates the original to be sent using the personal computer instead of reading the original on the facsimile machine. It was something that didn't exist.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When sending a manuscript with the same content to multiple recipients using the broadcast function, even if the recipient company receives it, it is not possible to specify a specific recipient, so it is not possible to specify which department or to whom it is addressed. It was difficult to deliver the item to the desired recipient because the person did not know what the recipient was.

The present invention enables, when sending a manuscript with the same content to multiple destinations, to specify the recipient or add individual information by sending the manuscript with different content for each destination. It is something.

[Means for solving problems]

As shown in the principle diagram of FIG. 1, the facsimile device 1 is provided with a document reading section 2 for reading a transmitted document, a temporary storage device 3 for storing the document read by the document reading section 2 as pattern information, and a temporary storage device 3 for storing the document read by the document reading section 2 as pattern information. A processor 5 such as a personal computer having a storage device 6 for storing the created originals is connected to the processor 5 to create different transmission originals.

[Operation] A transmission document common to each destination is read by the document reading section 2 of the facsimile device I and stored in the temporary storage device 3 as pattern information.

On the other hand, different transmission originals for each destination are created by the processor 5 and stored in the storage device 6.

When performing transmission, a different transmission document is read out from the storage device 6 for each destination from the processor 5 and sent from the facsimile device 1 to the corresponding destination, and when the transmission is completed, the facsimile device 1 temporarily Storage device 3
A transmission document common to each destination is sequentially generated from the source and transmitted to the destination, and the receiving side receives a set of a transmission document that is different for each destination and a transmission document common to each destination.

Therefore, by writing the department name or individual name for specifying the recipient on a different document created by the processor 5 for each destination, the document can be delivered to the desired recipient.

Note that the transmission document created by the processor 5 may be pattern information or may be code data such as a character code, but in the latter case, it is necessary to convert it into pattern information in the facsimile machine. be.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a facsimile machine f! ! A personal computer 2° is connected to 10.

The personal computer 20 creates a different manuscript (hereinafter referred to as a cover manuscript) for each destination in advance and stores it!
The following description assumes that the information is already stored in 21.

A document that is common to each destination (hereinafter referred to as "common document") is read by the reading unit 11 of the facsimile machine 10, and is stored in the temporary storage device 12 as pattern information with an identification code of the document. computer 2
You can also start from 0.

When transmitting, first, the data of the cover document is transferred from the personal computer 20 to the temporary storage device 13 of the facsimile machine 10, and this storage device allocates a part of the temporary storage device 12 for storing pattern information. The control may be performed from the personal computer 2o.

When the loading of this cover document is completed, the personal computer 20 sends a transmission start command to the facsimile machine 10, but this command specifies a transmission start code, a common document identification code, a destination telephone number, and, if necessary, a transmission time. This includes data to be used.

As a result, the facsimile machine 10 sends out the destination telephone number and establishes a line, then reads out the data of the cover document stored in the temporary storage device 13 and sends it out. Continue sending the manuscript data. At the same time, the data of the cover document that is no longer needed is deleted from the temporary storage device 13.

When this transmission is completed, the facsimile machine 10 reports the completion of transmission to the personal computer 20, and the personal computer 20, which has received this report, issues a similar transmission start command to the facsimile machine 10 for the next destination.
, and transmits to the next destination in the same manner as described above, and repeats this process in the same manner until transmission to all destinations is completed.

When the personal computer 20 identifies that transmission to all destinations has been completed, the personal computer 20 specifies the identification number attached to the data of the common document and transfers the data with that identification number from the temporary storage device 12 of the facsimile machine. Delete it and finish all processing.

The above-described control of the facsimile machine 10 is performed by the control circuit 14, and
It is desirable that the facsimile machine 10 be provided with a recording section 15 so that it can also be used as a receiver.

Furthermore, when a transmission start command is given from the personal computer 20 in a state where no cover manuscript is loaded into the facsimile machine 10, it is preferable to control the transmission so that only the common manuscript is transmitted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since different manuscripts depending on the destination and manuscripts common to each destination can be sent together, each recipient can be specified when broadcasting.
