Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the arrival of unnecessary originals due to a wicked call by providing a voice generation part transmitting voice to a telephone line, prompting an outgoing side to input an identifying signal and permitting the arrival only when a correct identifying signal is inputted. CONSTITUTION:Receiving a call signal form the outgoing side, a CPU 5 on an incoming side reports to the outgoing side that without an identification number it cannot send originals through a telephone set part 5, and prompts it to input said number. When the outgoing side inputs the identification number, the CPU 5 judges whether the number is the same as a one that a user on the incoming side sets previously. If so, the CPU 5 switches the connection with the telephone line 7 to the side of a MODEM 4. Thus the arrival of unnecessary originals, which a wicked call causes, can be prevented.

Conventional facsimile machines built into telephones are configured as described above, so if the receiving party has set the automatic reception mode when they are not present, they will not be able to receive malicious calls that they do not want to receive. If a caller who does not know that the other party is using a fax machine makes a call from a regular telephone, only audible tones will be heard.
There were problems such as making the caller feel uneasy.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems.In addition to allowing selective incoming calls during automatic answering, it also informs callers from regular telephones that the device is a facsimile. The purpose of this invention is to obtain a facsimile built into a telephone that can send notifications.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The telephone built-in facsimile according to the present invention is equipped with a voice generating section that sends pre-registered voice information through the telephone section, and when automatically responding, after transmitting the voice information to the calling party, the facsimile is connected to the telephone line. The modem is switched to the modulation/demodulation unit side, and the control unit can select the incoming call based on the identification signal from the calling side.

[Effect]

In the telephone built-in facsimile according to the present invention, at the time of automatic answering, before switching the connection with the telephone line to the modulation/demodulation section, the voice generating section gives voice information to the calling side, indicating that the device is a facsimile, and confirming that the device is a facsimile. The controller has the function of informing that the input of the identification signal is necessary, and the control unit has the function of permitting incoming calls only in response to the correct identification signal, thereby preventing malicious calls. An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIG.
