Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a remote side:'fil facsimile device that enables remote control of transmission at a facsimile terminal.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally proposed facsimile devices have a configuration in which, when sending a facsimile, the sending user loads the document paper to be sent into the facsimile terminal, sets the destination phone number, and then starts sending. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

With the above-mentioned conventional facsimile machines, when sending a message, there are cases where the facsimile terminal is occupied by a land user and cannot be used, or it is possible to set manuscript paper on the facsimile terminal, but the destination phone of the facsimile terminal of the person to whom you want to send is In cases where the number is occupied, the sending user must wait near the facsimile terminal until the facsimile terminal or destination phone is empty, resulting in problems such as wasting time and reducing work efficiency.

Furthermore, with conventional facsimile devices, as described above, the sending user directly operates the facsimile terminal, which is inconvenient and requires troublesome and time-consuming operations.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is a remote control facsimile machine that enables a sending user to send a facsimile without directly operating a facsimile terminal, thereby preventing wasted time, improving work efficiency, and simplifying operations. The purpose is to provide equipment.

The remote control facsimile device of the present invention includes: a memory section for registering a contact telephone number of a sending user, the number of facsimile transmission documents, and a destination telephone number of a facsimile transmission destination; an empty detection section for detecting an empty state of a facsimile terminal; A contact phone number control unit that calls the contact phone number based on the signal from the empty detection unit, a hooking detection unit that determines a response from the contact phone number, and a hooking detection unit that determines a response from the contact phone number based on the determination result of the hooking detection unit. The remote control terminal device is equipped with a destination telephone number transmitting section that connects a line to the destination telephone number, and a dedicated document table control section that controls the document table of the facsimile terminal.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a remote control terminal device for controlling facsimile transmission on behalf of a remote transmission user by coupling with a facsimile terminal (facsimile body) 9. As shown in FIG. This remote control terminal device 1 can input a destination telephone number, a contact telephone number, and the number of originals to be transmitted in advance through a keyboard 2 and register them in a memory section 3. Note that the contents registered in the memory section 3 are deleted when the transmission to the destination telephone number of the facsimile destination is completed or when a cancellation request is made midway through.

Further, the remote control terminal device 1 includes a dedicated document setting table control section 4. Destination telephone number transmitter 5. It has a contact telephone number control section 6, which is connected to the memory section 3 and connected to a facsimile terminal 9 via an interface controller section 8.

The dedicated document setting table control section 4 is connected to a facsimile terminal 9.
It is possible to control each of the remote transmission 11 and direct transmission 12 of the dedicated manuscript table 10 provided in the main body. In addition, the contact telephone number control unit 6 also includes hooking (
Transmission instruction) The detecting section 7 and the empty detecting section 13 that detects the operating state of the facsimile terminal 9 are connected to a telephone line.

In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a contact telephone placed, for example, at a location where a person who sends a facsimile is usually located, and is a telephone corresponding to the contact telephone number.

Next, the operation of the remote control terminal device 1 having the above configuration will be described in a second manner.
This will be explained using the flowchart shown in the figure.

First, a person who sends a facsimile enters the destination telephone number, contact telephone number, and number of documents to be transmitted into the remote control terminal device 1 through the keyboard 2, and registers these in the memory section 3.

Then, in the remote side ill terminal device 1, the empty detection unit 13 starts an operation to detect the operating state of the facsimile terminal 9.
When the facsimile terminal 9 detects the empty state B (the state B that is not transmitting or receiving), the remote control terminal device 1 starts the next processing control operation based on this detection.

That is, when it is recognized that there is registered content in the memory section 3, the contact telephone number registered in the memory section 3 is read out via the contact telephone number control section 6, and the corresponding contact telephone number is automatically dialed. A call notification is sent to the telephone 14. In this case, if there is no response from the contact telephone 14 even after giving the call notification 7 for a predetermined time, the automatic call is temporarily terminated by timer monitoring.

When there is a response from the user or another person through the contact telephone 1914, the hooking detection section 7 detects the voice from the telephone and discriminates it.

Based on this determination, the destination telephone number transmission section 5 extracts the destination telephone number from the memory section 3 and sends it to the facsimile terminal 9 via the interface controller section 8. The facsimile terminal 9 connects to the destination telephone number through the facsimile line and executes facsimile transmission.

In remote transmission in this case, by managing the number of documents to be transmitted, it becomes possible to handle remote transmission by an unspecified number of people. In other words, by setting the number of originals to be sent in advance in correspondence with each contact telephone number, the dedicated original table 10 is controlled via the dedicated original setting table control section 4, and the number of documents set on the special original table 10 is controlled. It becomes possible to process the transmitted originals corresponding to each user.

In order to prevent paper from being directly set in the facsimile terminal 9, the dedicated document table 10 is composed of a remote transmission section 11 and a direct transmission section 12. In addition, the remote transmitter 11 is equipped with a mechanism that allows the remote call user's transmission form to be sent blankly. It is possible to send cents for the next transmission form without having to set the paper in a fixed manner.

In this way, after the remote calling user's transmission has been successfully sent to the destination telephone number, the content registered by the remote calling user is erased from the memory by giving a call notification again, thereby completing the process.

Therefore, according to this facsimile system equipped with a remote control terminal device, if the facsimile user inputs the necessary information into the remote control terminal device, transmission can be executed automatically when the facsimile terminal is free. can. Therefore, there is no need for the facsimile user to wait near the facsimile terminal, thereby preventing unnecessary waste of time and improving work efficiency.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows you to register in advance the contact phone number of the facsimile transmission user, the number of originals to be sent by facsimile, and the destination phone number of the facsimile destination. The facsimile transmission user can contact the telephone number and, in response to the response from the contact telephone number, connect the line to the destination telephone number and execute the facsimile transmission. Transmission can be realized without having to do anything, and the sending user does not have to wait by the facsimile terminal, thereby eliminating wasted time and simplifying operations.
