Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the destination of an incorrect number and the erroneous connection of a facsimile due to the above from being generated, by insetting a pause automatically between a line wire outgoing number set by an operator and a destination number. CONSTITUTION:In the facsimile of extension connection, when a call is issued from an automatic dialing part 1 incorporated in the facsimile to the destination of a line wire via an extension exchange, the dialing part 1 informs the line wire outgoing number and the destination number to a line control part 2 as destination information. Also, the control part 2 retrieves present connection status with a line from a line setting part 3. At this time, when the setting of the line is placed at extension connection, the control part 2 evades dialing the destination number following the line wire outgoing number successively, and after dialing the line wire outgoing number, inserts the pause by an automatic pause insertion part 4, and after the time out of the pause, then, dials the destination number.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to call control for a facsimile machine.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, in this type of facsimile machine, when making a call using the facsimile's auto-dial function, the call is made by directly dialing the outside line calling number and destination number set by the operator.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional facsimile machine described above, the extension exchange d (
PBX) is connected to the extension line, and outside calls are made via the extension switch.To make an outside call, first dial the outside number and obtain the line (generally a public line). Then dial the destination number to make a call.

If you are trying to make an outside call from the facsimile's built-in auto-dial section, dial the outside line number and then press PAUSE to continue the destination number without waiting. The dialing is blocked by the extension waiting time for an external line connection at the extension switch, and the extension switch ignores this by calling the remaining destination dial as the destination number on one line, so that the call is not made to the correct destination, or There was a drawback that the length of the prepause period for public line exchanges was not guaranteed and faxes could be connected incorrectly.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances,
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel whelkworm device which makes it possible to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional technology.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the facsimile machine according to the present invention has an auto-dial section built into the facsimile machine that automatically makes a call, and an outside line that is automatically set by the operator. The automatic PAUSE insertion unit inserts a PAUSE between the calling number and the destination number.

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

Figure fa1 is a basic block configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

When you are using a facsimile connected to an internal line and make a call from the auto-dial section built into the facsimile via an internal switch to an external line destination, the auto-dial section 2 inputs the external line calling number and the destination number to the destination. Notify the line control section as information.

The line control unit also searches the current line connection status from the line setting unit 3. At this time, if the line setting is an extension connection, the user on the line side dials the outside line calling number without dialing the outside line calling number and destination number consecutively, and then presses the automatic PAUSE insertion section. Insert (pause) and set PAUSE (pause) time,
PAUSE Dial the destination number after a timeout. This is because the extension switch connected to the facsimile seizes the line from the outside line calling number and then sets a waiting time for connecting the outside line to prevent calls from being made.During this time, the PAU
Temporal compensation is provided by inserting SE (pause). However, if PAUSE is input between the outside line calling number and the destination number from the beginning, the line control unit 2 will dial as is.

Next, the actual dialing situation of the present invention will be explained using FIG. Here, it is assumed that this facsimile is connected to DP.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) show the conventional method.

Point A is the timing at which the internal exchange seizes the line when the digital pulse 5 of the outside line originating number is dialed and dies. At this time, if the time from point A to point B is the outside line connection waiting time, the extension exchange will not accept dialing during this time, so as shown in Figure 2 (a), the digital If pulse 6 is issued during this time, the extension switch will ignore it and the line will not be dialed. As a result, a call is made from the digital pulse of the second destination dial, and a destination different from the destination to which the call is actually made is dialed.

Also, as shown in Figure 1 (b), when the waiting time for an outside line connection ends in the middle of the digital pulse 6 of the % first destination dial,
When it's over, it's still dialed in
・The pulse minutes are called to the extension exchange, which is busy, and a different destination number is dialed, resulting in a call being made to a different destination number than the desired destination.

FIG. 21C shows seven dial control situations implemented according to the present invention.

When you dial the digital pulse j of the outside line dialing number and the internal exchange is waiting for an outside line connection (from point CA to point B), a PAUSE is automatically inserted. 0 point), the first destination dial digital pulse 6 is issued.

Here, from the outside line connection waiting time (point A to point B), PAUS
E (pause) time c (point A to point C) is longer in time. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a wrong destination number in an external line call from an extension switch and the resulting error in facsimile connection.

FIG. 3 schematically shows the salt boundary according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The extension-connected facsimile machine that makes the call is connected to the extension exchange 9 via a private line, and the extension exchange 9 is connected to the destination public network exchange wio via the public line by dialing the destination. do.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, there is an auto-dial section that is built into the 7Axis and automatically makes a call;
Automatic PAUSE that automatically inserts a PAUSE between the previous outside call number and the destination number set by the operator.
By having an insertion part, when dialing an outside line from the auto-dial part when connected to a public line by an internal exchange with an internal line connection, the destination number is not dialed while the exchange is waiting for an external line connection. By automatically inserting PAUSE, it is possible to prevent incorrect destination numbers and the resulting misconnection of facsimiles.
