Abstract

PURPOSE:To successively carry out the transmission of an original to many places without an operator by reading a transmission destination telephone number directly displayed on the prescribed position of a transmission paper and automatically calling to transmit the original. CONSTITUTION:The transmission destination telephone number is described on the prescribed position 10a of the top page 10 of the transmission paper by a writing or other means, the top page and one series of the originals are set to an original hopper, a transmission operating mode change over switch is set to an automatic mode, and a start button is pushed. A reading means 11 reads the telephone number described at the prescribed position 10a, a CPU12 recognizes it as the transmission destination telephone number, transmits a control signal to a dial transmitting circuit 13 to dial the transmission destination telephone number. Then, the transmission destination is called and the transmission of the original succeeding to the transmission destination telephone number is started when a remote side is brought into a receivingstate.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention reads the recipient's telephone number displayed at a predetermined position on the sending paper, automatically calls the recipient, and sends recorded contents such as documents by wire. It concerns a facsimile machine.

(Prior art) Today, the spread of facsimiles, which are used to send documents, drawings, etc. via telephone lines, is remarkable, and this facsimile network has spread not only domestically but also widely internationally. The sending procedure is as follows.

B. Place the original you want to send face down in the original book/mounter.

Operate the 1 communication mode key to select "Standard 1 or T-Fine".

Ha, pick up the phone and dial the destination number.

2. If the destination is set to automatic reception.

Check the response tone, and when using manual reception, the call will go into a talking state, and have the other party press the "R Receive" key.

Press the "e, r fax" key to start sending.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, as the information society progresses, the amount of information to be transmitted is increasing, and in the case of facsimile, it is important to know how to efficiently process the large amount of information transmitted. is becoming a problem. A possible solution to this problem is to shorten the transmission preparation time and transmission time.

The former, that is, the efficiency of transmission preparation time, is generally achieved by shortening the time required for telephone dialing.

However, even if the dialing time is shortened, there is a limit to the improvement in facsimile transmission efficiency.

In other words, if you are currently sending a manuscript consisting of 1 to N locations,
Even if you use speed dial, you need to dial N times, and send continuously to avoid sending blanks! ! In order to continue, there remains the problem that the operator must constantly monitor the transmission status, and as soon as the transmission to one location is completed, the driver must move to the next location to set the document and send it.

In summary, conventional facsimile machines have had the problem of requiring an operator to transmit data to multiple locations in succession.

(Summary of the Invention) This invention reads the destination phone number directly displayed on a predetermined area of the sending paper, automatically calls this phone number, and sends the original, thereby making it possible to send to multiple places. The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by providing a continuous facsimile service even when no operator is present.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 are diagrams showing an embodiment of a facsimile according to the present invention.

Fig. 1 is an external view of the facsimile, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the operation panel, Fig. 3 is a plan view of the transmission form with the destination telephone number displayed in a predetermined position, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the facsimile according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an overall circuit diagram of such a facsimile.

In the tjSi diagram, F is a facsimile body, 1 is a document hopper, 2 is an operation panel, 3 is a telephone, and 4 is a transmission method document tray.

In addition, in Figures 2 and 3, 5 is a numeric keypad for inputting a telephone number, etc., 6 is a transmission operation mode changeover switch, and 7 is a one-touch key. By pressing this key, the registered destination phone number is displayed. or automatically dialed. 8 is a display for displaying various information, 9 is a start button, and 10 is a transmission form on which a destination telephone number is displayed at a predetermined position 10a.

In this embodiment, the numbers displayed at the predetermined positions are recognized as telephone numbers.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 11 denotes a reading means, which is a photoelectric conversion element CC.
The characters inputted in the information signal from D1la,
Character identification circuit unit 11c for identifying numbers, etc., WJ of CCD
Sensor control circuit lid that outputs A motion pulse
It is made up of.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a CPU that controls the character identification circuit section 11c, a dial transmission circuit 13, etc. to be described later, and serves as a means for storing various information. Reference numeral 13 denotes a dial transmission circuit as an automatic tire link means, which functions as an automatic dialing means for automatically calling a destination based on the read information from the reading means 11 which is processed by the CPU 12. To suffer.

The operation will be explained based on the above-mentioned configuration.

The ROMC of the CPU 12 has previously set a control program to the effect that the number displayed at a predetermined position 10'a of the transmission form 1o is the destination telephone number to be dialed by the dialing circuit 13.

Then, as shown in Figure 3, the first page lO of the transmission form is
Write the destination telephone number in the designated position @ l Oa by writing or other appropriate means.

Next, this first page and a series of originals following it are set in the original hopper 1, the transmission operation mode changeover switch 6 is set to automatic, and the start button 9 is pressed.

Then, the reading means 11 first reads the telephone number written in the predetermined position 10a, and the CPU 12 performs arithmetic processing on this read information and recognizes it as the destination telephone number.
A v1 control signal is sent to the dialing circuit 13 to dial the destination telephone number.

Then, when the destination is called and the destination becomes in a receiving state, transmission of the document following the destination telephone number is started. In this way, if you want to send to multiple locations, you can set multiple sets of documents with the destination phone number written in a predetermined position on the first page, and the documents will be automatically sent to the desired destinations one after another. It will be sent by wire.

(Effects of the Invention) Due to the above-described structural functions, the present invention not only allows the document to be sent automatically without the need for the operator to specially operate the telephone and call the recipient, but also enables the document to be sent without the need for transmission. This method has the effect of efficiently using the facsimile machine, since multiple sets of manuscripts can be sent successively to different locations without requiring any human intervention.
