Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a telephone charge and to make the transmission time appropriate by receiving and accumulating a picture signal, telephone number data and a designated time, automatically calling a corresponding telephone number when its own value of a time counting means becomes equal to the received designated time, and transmitting a picture signal. CONSTITUTION:A facsimile control part 1 controls the overall facsimile equipment. A picture signal accumulation part 2 accumulates picture signals received from other facsimile equipments. A telephone number data accumulation part 3 accumulates data showing a telephone number specifying one or plural 3rd facsimile equipments, and a designated time accumulation part 4 accumulates a designated time. A telephone number table 5 fits data in the telephone number data accumulation part 3 to the telephone number. When the time counted, by own timer 6 is coincident with the specified time, then automatically call the number of a telephone set connected with 3rd facsimile equipment, and the picture signal received from the other facsimile equipment is automatically transmitted.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to facsimile devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of facsimile device transmits an image signal sent by another facsimile device δ and data indicating the telephone number of a telephone to which one or tX number of third facsimile devices are connected. Immediately after receiving and storing it in its own storage unit, it automatically calls the telephone number of the telephone to which one or a third facsimile machine is connected, and receives the image signal received from the facsimile machine. A so-called instant broadcast function was realized in which the information was sent to a third facsimile device.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional facsimile machine described above receives image signals etc. sent out by another facsimile machine, stores them in its own storage unit, and then immediately automatically makes a call to a third facsimile machine. However, since the image signals received from other facsimile machines are transmitted, there is a long distance between the other facsimile machines and the installation location of this facsimile machine, and the installation locations of this facsimile machine and multiple third facsimile machines are If the distance is short or short, intervening this IJ device may reduce communication charges rather than transmitting image signals directly from another facsimile device to multiple facsimile devices, but this If there is a time difference between the facsimile device and one or more third facsimile devices,
A drawback is that the reception time of one or more third facsimile machines may not be appropriate.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages inherent in the prior art, and therefore, an object of the present invention is to reduce telephone charges and to provide one or more third facsimile machines. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new facsimile machine that can set an appropriate reception time.

``Means for Solving Problems'' - In order to achieve the goal of
) device transmits both signals sent by other facsimile devices and one or more third signals sent by other facsimile devices.
means for receiving the telephone number and specified time of the telephone to which the facsimile machine is connected; means for accumulating each of the received information; means for measuring the time; means for automatically calling the telephone number of the telephone to which the corresponding third facsimile device is connected when the times by the means match, and automatically transmitting the image signal received from the other facsimile device [ξ]; It is composed of:

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference number 1 is a facsimile IJ control unit that controls the entire facsimile machine, 2 is an image signal storage unit that accumulates image signals received from other facsimile machines, and 3 is a 1
4 is a designated time storage section that stores data indicating telephone numbers representing one or more third facsimile devices; 4 is a designated time storage section that stores designated times; and 5 is a telephone number data storage section that stores data in the telephone number data storage section 3 and telephone numbers; 6 is a timer that measures the time; 7 is an automatic calling unit; 8 is a telephone number table that matches numbers;
9 indicates a modem, 9 indicates a line control section for switching signals from the automatic calling section 7 and the modem 8, and 10 indicates a telephone line.

FIG. 2 is a control flowchart when a micro flow sensor is used in the facunmill control unit 1 of FIG.

As described in the detailed description of the invention, according to the present invention, an image signal sent from another (7) facsimile device and a telephone number of a telephone to which one or 1M third facsimile devices are connected are indicated. The data and the specified time corresponding one-to-one with the telephone number are received and stored, and when the time measured by the own time measuring means and the received specified time t match, the third One or more third facsimile devices that not only reduce telephone charges by automatically calling the telephone number of the telephone to which the facsimile device is connected and transmitting image signals received from other facsimile devices. In other words, the present facsimile 7mm machine can send data at an appropriate time, and in other words, the effect can be obtained that the receiving time of one or more third facsimile machines can be made appropriate.

Claims (1)

[Claims] There is a one-to-one correspondence between the image signal sent by another facsimile device, the data sent by the other facsimile device indicating the telephone number of the telephone to which one or more third facsimile devices are connected, and the telephone number. The storage means has a means for receiving and storing designated times, a means for counting the time, and an automatic call function, and when the time of the time measuring means of the storage means matches the designated time, the storing means 1. A facsimile device that automatically transmits image signals stored in a third facsimile device to one or more third facsimile devices.
