Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform the name of a specific addressee on the reception side by inputting an addressee-information to designate the specific addressee on the transmission-side, and transmitting it. CONSTITUTION:By operating a keyboard 1, the addressee-information to designate the specific addressee's name on the reception-side R is inputted, and encoded by a code transformer 2, then written in a buffer memory for communication BM of the facsimile equipment main body 3, thereafter transmitted to the reception-side R when the line is connected. The encoded addressee-information received by a facsimile equipment main body 4 on the reception-side R and stored in a buffer memory for communication BM, and decoded by a code transformer 5. Based on the decoded addressee-information RN, the specific addressee's name is informed in voice by a voice synthesizer 6.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] five-way division The present invention relates to improvements in facsimile machines.

4. Modern facsimile machines, prior to the actual facsimile communication of image information, exchange information such as company name between the sender and the receiver connected to the line. By displaying the destination on a display screen provided on the facsimile main body, it is possible to perform facsimile communication while checking the destination.

However, in addition to performing facsimile communication while checking the recipient, there are times when you want to specify a specific person at the destination and send a specified document, but what is the conventional method? !
! You only know that the reception has been completed when the machine rings and the facsimile starts working, and when the operation ends or the accompanying operator call sound, you do not know who the document was actually addressed to. The reality is that you can't tell unless you look at the image.

1 piece The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points.

To provide a private facsimile device which allows a receiving side to notify a specific recipient designated by a sending side during facsimile communication.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the present invention is provided with means for inputting recipient information specifying a specific recipient name on the transmitting side, means for transmitting the inputted recipient information to the transmitting side, and a means for transmitting the inputted recipient information to the transmitting side. means for receiving the recipient information;
According to the received recipient information, a means for announcing a specific recipient's name is provided.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. The information RN can be input, and the input recipient information is encoded by the code converter 2,
The encoded recipient information is written in the communication buffer memory BM in the facsimile body 3 and then transmitted to the receiving side R when the line is connected. Note that an OCR may be used instead of the keyboard 1 to read the recipient's handwritten name.

Also, on the receiving side R, the facsimile is received by the facsimile main body 4 under the control of a system controller (not shown).
The encoded recipient information stored in the communication buffer memo υB, M is decoded by the code converter 5, and based on the decoded recipient information RN, the voice synthesizer 6 generates a specific recipient's name. will be notified by voice. Note that instead of using the voice synthesizer 6, a display unit with a relatively large screen provided separately from the display section of the facsimile main unit 4 that displays the recipient's name is used to display the specific recipient's name on the screen. You can do it like this.

Both the sending side T and the receiving side R, each facsimile main body 3
, 4 has exactly the same structure as the conventional one.

Figure 2 shows the general facsimile communication procedure in a facsimile machine. First, the line between the sending side T and the receiving side R is connected, and then the communication between the two is started before the actual transmission of image information. In order to establish preparations for facsimile communication between the two parties by confirming the functionality, determining the transmitting/receiving mode, and training the modem, a CNG transmission is carried out between the sending side T and the receiving side R after the call is made at point A.
.

The CED, NSF/C3I/DrS, NSS, modem training, TCF, and CFR procedures are exchanged. Next, the image information is transmitted, and in order to disconnect the line after mutually confirming that the facsimile communication has ended at the end of the transmission, E○P, MCF, The line is cut off at point B after each DCN procedure is exchanged. Although various other variations of facsimile communication procedures have been considered in order to shorten the line connection time as much as possible, it is important to at least check the functionality and determine the sending and receiving mode to ensure that the sending and receiving sides are in the same condition. It has become something that must be done.

At this time, as mentioned above, in order to display the other party's destination, the pre-registered own machine information is set to R and T.

r (Receiver Terminal Ide
r+tificajion) as NSF and NSS
I am trying to have them interact within the following steps.

However, in the facsimile device according to the present invention, R
, T, T, the encoded recipient information RN is sent from the transmitting side T to the receiving side R using the same procedure as for sending the encoded recipient information RN. That is, since recipient information changes for each facsimile communication, specific recipient information is input at the sending side T and stored in the communication buffer memory BM in the facsimile body 3 before the line is connected each time. After that, it will be automatically sent to the receiving side R using the facsimile communication procedure using NSS. The recipient information RN is most commonly passed as an ASCII code.

As mentioned above, the facsimile device according to the present invention allows the receiving side to notify a specific recipient designated by the sending side during facsimile communication.
It has the excellent advantage that necessary information can be quickly transmitted to a specific recipient.
