Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the maneuverability of the titled equipment by instructing the retransmission of one document, checking whether the same document name as that of a document whose retransmission is instructed by an operator exists in other untransmitted documents or not and transmitting the instructed document to an opposite equipment. CONSTITUTION:After extracting the document name 3b of a document instructing its retransmission, the document specified at its retransmission by the operator is retransmitted. After completing the transmission, whether other documents waiting the instruction of retransmission exist or not is decided by checking the number of entries 3a, and when the waiting document exists, the document name 3b of the document waiting for the retransmission instruction is extracted. Then, whether the document name of the extracted document is the same as the retransmission instruction waiting document or not is decided. When both document names are same, the document is retransmitted and then whether other retransmission instruction waiting documents exist or not is checked. If the operator specifies the retransmission of No.2 >=nspection report', the report is automatically retransmitted to a destination specified by the operator at the time of transmission even if retransmission is not specified because No.3 and No.4 document names are the same.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document communication terminal device having a word processor (document processing) function and a communication function.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional document communication terminals, if you want to resend a document that could not be sent, display the transmission status screen and then instruct the recipient to resend each document that could not be sent, or send the document again. I found it necessary to perform operations such as re-entering the information necessary for sending.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] For this reason, in conventional devices of this type, when one document is sent to multiple recipients, it is not always possible to send all of them normally, and if the recipient's terminal is turned off, etc. Depending on the status, multiple documents may be unable to be sent. In that case, the operator had to perform operations such as instructing the resending of each document or re-entering the information from the beginning to send the documents again, resulting in poor operability. was there.

[Means for solving the invention (and operation)] The present invention has the following features:
This embodiment was developed in view of the above-mentioned problem, and as a means to solve this problem, for example, the present embodiment allows the operator to
By instructing to resend one of the documents that could not be sent,
Simultaneous resending that determines whether other documents that could not be sent and for which resending was not instructed have the same document name as the document for which resending was instructed, and if yes, automatically resends that document as well. The purpose of this is to improve operability by providing means.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the document communication terminal device according to the present invention. In the figure, l is a microprocessor (CPU) that controls the entire device, and CPUI is a read-only memory ( ROM) 2 is stored in the memory (ROM) 2.

Note that in this embodiment, the line interface 13 is connected to a digital line, and is connected to a home line termination device (DS).
U), whose functions and configuration conform to the CCITT recommendations and are well known, so their explanation will be omitted.

Next, FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the transmission status stored in the RAM 3 of this embodiment.

In FIG. 2, 3a is the number of entries, including the document name (3b), sender name (3c), destination number (3d), which will be described later.
Recipient name (3e), transmission instruction time (3f), transmission time (
3g), status (3h), reason (3i), retransmission specification (3j
) is stored. 3b is an area for storing the name of the document instructed to be sent by the operator;
3c is an area for storing the name of the sender (operator);
3d is an area for storing the destination number of the document destination, 3e is an area for storing the name of the recipient of the sent document, and 3f is an area for storing the transmission time when the operator specifies the transmission time. If not specified, nothing is set. 3g is an area for storing the time at which the document was sent, and the time at which the document was last sent is set.

3h is “waiting for retransmission instruction” and “waiting for transmission instruction time”
31 is set when "waiting for retransmission instruction" is stored in 3h, and is an area for storing the reason why the retransmission instruction was waited for. 3j is an area for storing whether the operator has instructed retransmission or not. This is an area for storing.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 and 4.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the transmission status display and retransmission instruction program of this embodiment.
The process is executed when the key operation 7 is performed to instruct display of the transmission status.

- First, in step Sl, the transmission status having the above-mentioned configuration is displayed on the CRT 5 as shown in FIG. 5 (in this example, 6 is stored in the entry number 3a mentioned above).
After displaying K, the process advances to step S2, where the operator
B Wait for the 7 key operation to be performed. (In step S3, it is checked whether the operator has instructed retransmission. If so, the process advances to step S4, and data indicating this is set in the retransmission designation 3j of the document for which retransmission has been instructed.

On the other hand, in step S3'' (if the instruction is not a retransmission instruction), the process proceeds to step S5, and it is checked whether the input key is an end instruction, and if it is an end instruction, the process proceeds to step S6.

Also, if the key does not instruct termination, step S
After proceeding to step S8 and performing other processing (such as moving the cursor), the process returns to step S2 and waits for the operator to operate the keys on KH2 again. In the subsequent step S6, after checking the retransmission specification 3j of the transmission status (Fig. 2) described above to determine whether the operator has instructed retransmission, if there is a retransmission specification, the process proceeds to step S7, and the simultaneous retransmission process described later is performed. Execute.

After the processing is completed, the transmission status display and retransmission instruction processing is ended.

Next, the simultaneous retransmission program executed in step S7 will be explained below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, document name 3 of the document for which retransmission was instructed in step S8.
After extracting the document b, the process advances to step S9, and the document that the operator has instructed to resend is resent. Step SIO after transmission completion
, it is determined whether there is another document waiting for a resend instruction by checking the number of entries 3a, and if there is, the process proceeds to step Sll.
Then, the document name 3b of the document waiting for a resend instruction is extracted. Continued (
In step SL2, it is determined whether the document name of the document retrieved in step S8 and the name of the document waiting for retransmission instruction retrieved in step Sll are the same. If they are the same, step S1
After proceeding to step 3 and resending the document, the process returns to step SIO to check whether there are any other documents waiting for a resend instruction. Here, an explanation will be given with reference to the display example of the transmission status in Fig. 5.
Assume that the operator instructs to resend the "investigation report" numbered 2. In this case, since there is a difference between the document name No. 3 and the document name No. 4, no retransmission instruction is given (although the document is automatically retransmitted to the destination specified by the operator at the time of transmission).

On the other hand, if there is no document waiting for a retransmission instruction in step S8, the process ends and returns.

In the above explanation, the timing for resending a document that could not be sent was instructed by the operator's key manual, but this embodiment is not limited to this, and by controlling a timer, it is possible to send the document periodically. It is also possible to check whether the missing document exists and resend it. In addition, in this embodiment, retransmission was performed without determining the level of communication failure (such as differences in the code systems handled by the sending and receiving sides), but the failure level is determined and retransmission is performed. You can let them do it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above (according to the present invention, by instructing the resending of one document, it is automatically determined whether other documents that could not be sent have the same document name as the document for which the operator has instructed resending). Since the document is sent to the other party after checking whether the document is a
