Abstract

PURPOSE:To exceedingly reduce the burden of an operator by registering only the number of a partner, storing it in a specified dial memory, and starting the automatic transmission of a facsimile original by the aid of only the detection of the input set of the original to be transmitted, after changing-=over to a specified dial number by a change-over key. CONSTITUTION:A specified partner number is previously registered and stored in a specified register memory 4-2. On the other hand, in the case of an usual unspecified dialing, the number inputted from a key board KB3 by a ten-key is once stored in a dial memory 11. Either of these contents is transmitted to a line through a NCU 9 by means of the automatic dial transmission at an automatic dialing part 10 under the control of a controller 1. These two series are changed-over to (?) or (?), (Japanese syllabaries corresponding to'i' and 'r' of phonetic sign respectively), at a switch 21 by means of the operation of a change-over switch 3-10 in an operating panel 3'', and are connected to an original sensor 5-1, and the dialing is automatically started by the input of the original 12.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Overview] The present invention registers only a specific destination number and stores it in a specific dial memory, and after switching to the specific dial number with the switch key, Automatic transmission of facsimile originals can be started only by detecting the input set.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a simplified facsimile document transmission method for transmission to a specific destination number.

[Conventional technology]

A schematic configuration diagram of an example of a conventional facsimile machine is shown in Figure 3 (
cL).

In the figure, the facsimile machine includes a control section 1, an operation control section 2. Keyboard (KB) 3. Memory 4. Reading section 5. Recording section 6. Compression/decompression unit 7. Modem (modulator/demodulator) 8.
It consists of a network control unit (NCU) 9 and an automatic dialing unit 10. The transmission data is automatically dialed from the keyboard 6, the transmission document 12 is read by the reading unit 5, and the compression/decompression unit 7 is operated under the control of the control unit 1.
After run-length compression, the modem 8 modulates the carrier wave and sends it out to a commercial line.

The received data is demodulated into a carrier wave by the modem 8 via the NCU 9 from the line, and either temporarily stored in the memory 2 under the control of the control section 1 or decoded and recorded in the recording section 5.

As the run-length code and decoding function in the compression/decompression unit 7, for example, a modified Huffman (MH) encoding and decoding method is used.

FIG. 2B shows an example of an operation panel 6' used in the keyboard (KB) 3. In the figure, 6-1 is a function key for switching modes such as transmission, registration, copy, and relay. Reference numeral 3-2 is a liquid crystal display (LCD) on which the names of these modes, the destination number for automatic dialing, and other guidance and warnings are displayed.

Reference numeral 6-6 denotes a group of wonton keys for the dialed number of the other party registered in advance in the registration mode. 3-4 is a numeric keypad for manually inputting the dialed number of the other party, 6-5 is a stop key, and 6-6 is a mode start key.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In addition to automatic dialing for unspecified destination numbers, the facsimile device described above uses a one-click key to simplify operations for a plurality of specified destination numbers. However, in some cases, such as a retail store connected to a center, where the original document can only be sent to one location (such as a retail store connected to a center), unspecified dial transmission may suffice for other locations. In this case, there is no need for the machine d to have a plurality of wonton keys, and only one wonton key is required, but if input detection of the transmitted document is used, even one of these keys becomes unnecessary. Therefore, there is a need for a simple and inexpensive facsimile machine.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile document transmission method in which only a specific destination number is registered and the facsimile document is automatically sent simply by inserting the document.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, as shown in the schematic explanatory diagram of the first factor, a specific destination number is registered in advance and stored in the specific registration memory 4-2.

On the other hand, the normal unspecified dial is keyboard (KB) 3
The number entered manually using the numeric keypad is temporarily stored in the dial memory 11. If any of these contents is controlled by the controller 1, the automatic dialing section 10 performs an automatic dialing operation.
It is sent out to the line via CU 9. These two series are switched to ■ and @ by the switch 21 by the operator of the changeover switch 3-10 of the operation panel 6'', which will be described later. Startup is performed automatically.

[For production]

According to the above configuration), the automatic dial transmission of the specific registration number is switched in advance by the changeover switch 3-10 (2), and in this state, it is only necessary to insert the transmission document 12 into the reading section 5 without performing any operations. In other words, the first transmission is started based on the detection signal from the document sensor 5-1.

[Example of coming]

FIGS. 2(α) and 2(6) are configuration explanatory diagrams of embodiments of the present invention.

The difference between Figure 4 (α) and Figure 4 (α) is 119 (
6), the plurality of one-tap keys -3-3 are removed from the operation panel 3'' of the keyboard 6, and only the changeover key 3-10 for operating the changeover switch 21 shown in FIG. 1 is provided. , an area for a specific registration memory 4-2 is provided in the memory 4, and a specific dial number is manually set in the registration mode from the keyboard 6 using the numeric keypad.Next, the document 12 is input from the document sensor 5-1 of the reading section 5. The cent detection signal is extracted and used to start transmission.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the operation of the main parts of the embodiment.

In the figure, the switch 21 is set to the ■ side by operating the switching key 3-10' of the operation panel 3#. In this state, no key operations are required from now on. Then, the input setting of the original is checked by the detection signal of the original sensor 5-1, and if the original is set, the information in the specific registration memory 4-2 is sent to the automatic dialing section 10, and automatic dialing is performed. Next, the original data is sent to the line.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, only a specific destination number is registered and stored in a specific dial memory,
After switching to a specific dial number using the switch key, automatic transmission of a facsimile document can be activated simply by detecting the input set of a transmission document. As a result, the simple and inexpensive configuration of the present invention is effective because there is no need for multiple wonton keys in branches and the like where the destination of transmission is always limited to one location, and the operation is as simple as inserting a document. As a result, there are no operational errors and the burden on p1 operators is greatly reduced.
