Abstract

PURPOSE:To send a transmission original without waiting time due to recalling by inputting plural destination dial signals to one original and using an inputted dial signal sequentially so as to apply dialing until the connection is attained if the facsimile equipment cannot be connected to an opposite terminal equipment. CONSTITUTION:Plural sets of dial information are inputted from an operation section 5 by using a control section 7 and stored in a memory section 6. If no connection is attained as the result of dialing by a network control section 4, a line 8 is cut off once. If undialed information exists in the memory section 6, the dialing processing is executed again. When the facsimile equipment is connected to the opposite facsimile equipment, the transmission of original is applied.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a facsimile transmitter system, and more particularly to dial call management control for connecting a facsimile to a network.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in a facsimile transmitter, one dial input is made for one destination as a dial call control system, and if the other party does not respond or is busy, the same dial is input after a certain period of time. A re-calling operation was performed in which the user dialed the number again, and if connection was not possible, the call was repeated after a certain period of time.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional call management system described above, there is always a waiting time from the first call to the second call, and the other party's facsimile communication is long or the sender is waiting for the call. If the receiving side ends the reception at this time and receives another call again, the transmitting side has the disadvantage that it becomes invalid for the number of re-calls and may require re-operation.

An object of the present invention is to, when it is known that there are multiple facsimile receiving terminals at the destination, - input the dials of the multiple terminals for the original to be sent, make a call using the entered dials, and then If the terminal is in use, make the next dial call without waiting for a while, repeat the call operation until you can connect with the other party using the input dial, and inform the operator of the connected dial. The object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile transmitter which eliminates the above drawbacks and does not require re-operation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A facsimile transmitter according to the present invention includes an input means, a calling means, and a notification means.

The input means is for inputting a plurality of destination dials for one document.

If the call control means is unable to connect to the other party's terminal after making a call using the inputted dials, the call control means makes a call using the next dial after the input dial and connects to the other party's terminal. This is for making a call using the dials entered in sequence.

The notification means is for notifying the operator of the connected dial.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile transmission Mm according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a reading section for reading the original, 2 is an encoding section for compressing the read image signal, 8 is a line, and 3 is a rounder for sending encoded data to the line 8. a modem 4; a network control unit 4 for performing dial call control for connecting a partner terminal through the entire line 8 and controlling the state of the line 8 such as polarity reversal;
Reference numeral 7 denotes a control section for controlling the reading section 1, the encoding section 2, the modem section 3%, the network control section 4, etc. as a whole. The network control section 4 receives a command from the control section 7, performs processing to close the line 8, sends dial information, and then monitors the state of the line 8.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an operation unit for inputting a plurality of dial information and for notifying the operator of the dial to be connected. The operating section 5 is controlled by the control section 7 so that a plurality of pieces of dial information can be input before the start of the tl-1 firing operation. 6 is a memory for storing input dial information. The memory 6 is controlled by a control section 7.

A plurality of pieces of dial information input from the operation unit 6 are stored.

Overall control of the facsimile transmitter is performed by a control section 7. The control unit 7 monitors the entire connection status after the call is made, and if it is not possible to connect to the other party's facsimile, the control unit 7 temporarily disconnects the line 8.
is disconnected, the next dial information is retrieved from the memory 6 again, and the start-up fee for the calling operation is applied to the network control section 4. In the control unit 7, if the above call management operation seven-person dial information is lost,
Or, continue until the other party's facsimile is connected and the document is sent. After the connection to the line 8 is completed and the transmission of the document is completed, the operation unit 5 is controlled to control the display of the dial information of the destination.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the control of the above-mentioned operations. In process 101, the control section 7 inputs all the dial information from the operation section 5, and stores the information in the memory section 6. In process 102, the dial information accumulated in the memory section 6 is retrieved.

Instructs the network control unit 4 to make a call.

In process 103, the network control unit 4 determines whether or not the call is connected to the other party's facsimile as a result of the calling operation. If it is connected, it branches to YES, and if it is not connected, it branches to NO. Process 104 is a process performed when connection is not established due to the other party's facsimile being in use, and in this case, the line 8 is temporarily disconnected. In step 105, the memory section 6 is checked to determine whether or not there is any uncalled dial information. If there is uncalled dialing information, YES, the dialing process 102 is executed again. If there are no pending dials, the process branches to NO and the transmission process ends. If the facsimile machine is connected to the other party's facsimile machine in step 103, a document transmission operation is performed in step 106.

After all the originals have been transmitted, in step 107, the line 8t is disconnected. In step 108, all dial operators of the destination are notified. At this time, the control s7 sends a dial display instruction to the display of the operation unit 5.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention has the following advantages: - A plurality of pieces of dial information are input to the destination of a document, and if connection to the other party's terminal cannot be established, a call is immediately made using the next dial information. Additionally, if it is known that there are multiple facsimile receiving terminals at the destination, there is no waiting time due to re-calling, and the original can be sent to the recipient more quickly.
