Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a required time zone of the party from being occupied by unnecessary reception by setting the time zone rejecting a call other than a specific incoming call. CONSTITUTION:A rejection time setting section 13 is provided to a part of an operation control section 2 and connected to a clock 11 and a setting switch to the time zone is provided to an operation panel 3'-1. Moreover, a registration ID memory 4'-1 is provided to a memory 4 to give a confidentiality ID No. to a required opposite party, the ID No. is sent together with a TEL No. by a prescribed procedure, the memory 4'-1 is referenced at the reception, and only the incoming call corresponding to the ID is received while limiting a prescribed time zone. Thus, the memory 4'-1 is searched and the incoming call is checked to be within the rejecting time of a registration or setting section 12 at the incoming call and only the registered ID is received.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention is a 7-axis dialing device having an automatic reception function, in which a time period is set during which calls other than specific calls are rejected, and a pre-registered confidential code is assigned within that time period. Incoming calls other than those received are rejected.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a 7-axis incoming call rejection method that rejects calls other than specific incoming calls during a predetermined time period.
The configuration is shown in Figure (G) and the communication procedure is shown in Figure (6). In Figure C (L), the facsimile machine
, operation control section 2. Keyboard (KB) 3, memory 4
, reading unit 5. Recording section 6. Compression/decompression unit 7. modem 8, network control unit 9. It is composed of an automatic dial section 101 and a clock 11. Furthermore, a group of one-touch keys is provided on the operation panel 3-1 on the keyboard, and the registered partner is stored in the registration memory 4-1.

The transmission data is automatically dialed by inputting the destination number from the KB 3 using the one-touch key or the numeric keypad.Meanwhile, the printing section 5 reads the transmission Ij After length compression, the modem 8 modulates the carrier wave and sends it out to a commercial line. The received data is transmitted from the line via the NCU 9 to the modem 8 to demodulate the carrier wave, and is temporarily stored in the memory 2 under the control of the control unit 1 or decoded and automatically recorded in the recording unit.

FIG. 6(6) is an explanatory diagram of the G3 facsimile communication procedure applied to the facsimile machine.

In the figure, in response to a 16-part call signal from the transmitting side, the receiving side returns a 2100 fl response signal (CNG) and a notification of receiving side capability (NSF) DIS, and the transmitting side returns a response signal (
DCS). Following this, a training signal for checking the line is sent, and upon receiving this positive response (CFR), the first training signal (0101...
) and image data (Psx>).

When the PiX transmission is completed, the sending side sends an image data end signal (EOP), and the receiving side sends an acknowledgment (MCF).
and sends out a disconnection signal (DCN).

In this case, in response to the capability notification (DIS) from the receiving side, the transmitting side sends a DCS including a position mode ('l'sj). Recently, by adding a confidential code to this TSj, it is possible to store the received content in memory and output it after the recipient enters the password, instead of outputting it immediately after it is automatically received. A method for doing this has been separately proposed by the applicant.

[Zhao point that the invention is trying to solve]

Recently, as facsimile machines have become smaller and more widespread, the automatic communication function of facsimiles has been used as a type of mail-order sales to forcibly send advertisements directly. If such a commercial method using facsimile is applied, there will be the inconvenience that the incoming call, which is not desirable for the user, will occupy the facsimile machine without permission, and the cost of recording paper will be borne by the user.

In particular, it would be a serious hindrance for an incoming call with an R-extended code related to important information shown in the proposed example to be occupied by the above-mentioned unnecessary communication during the expected time period.

Therefore, it is desirable to reject unnecessary communications during the time period when such confidential information is being received.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an incoming facsimile call rejection system that can reject calls other than specific incoming calls within a predetermined time period.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a facsimile machine having an automatic reception function, which includes a means for setting in advance a time period for rejecting incoming calls other than those specified, and a means for setting a time period for rejecting incoming calls other than those specified in advance, and a means for rejecting incoming calls other than those specified in advance. A memory for storing a called number, a means for comparing the called number within the rejection time with the contents of the memory, and a means for receiving the call if it matches in the comparison, and outputting an incoming call rejection notification if there is a mismatch. It is something that

[For production]

As shown in the diagram explaining the principle of the present invention in FIG. Reject and accept all calls at other times. This can prevent your necessary time slot from being occupied by unnecessary reception.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the same figure, as a difference from the conventional example shown in FIG.
The operation panel is further provided with a setting switch for this time period at 1.

Also, in place of the registration memory 4-1, a registration ID memory 4'-
1 is provided. As an example of this registration IL) memory 4ζ1 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 (6) shows the 03 communication procedure. When the IDA is sent along with the A to the DCS and received, refer to this message 4-1 and follow the principle explanation in Figure 1. As shown in the figure, only incoming calls are accepted during a predetermined time period.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the embodiment.

In the same figure, when there is an incoming call, the registered ID memory 4-
1 is searched to check whether the incoming call has been registered or not, and whether it is within the rejection time from the rejection time setting section 12, and whether it is a registered ID, and only the registered ID is accepted within this time. Note that although j9 ID is not required, registered information may be included.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a time period is set during which calls other than specific calls are rejected, and within that time period, calls other than those to which a pre-registered standard code is assigned are rejected. As a result, undesirable and unnecessary information can be rejected in advance during the time period when confidential information is waited for, thereby eliminating the need to occupy time and waste paper.
