The present invention relates to a remote control transmission control method of a facsimile, and in particular, to remotely control the facsimile by telephone from another area while the user is absent, and to automatically transmit the original message received in the facsimile to the user's desired location. It relates to a transmission method.

Conventionally, when an original is sent to the facsimile, the contents of the facsimile can only be received where the facsimile is located. Therefore, when the user is absent, the contents of the received original cannot be checked externally. There was a very uncomfortable problem to check the contents.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the remote control of the facsimile so that the user can remotely control the facsimile from the outside to transmit the contents of the original received by the facsimile to the user's desired area The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a remote control automatic transmission method of a fax for receiving a signal and an original message input through an external telephone line and transmitting the signal and an original message to an external telephone or facsimile. Whenever an original message is input from the outside, the facsimile stores it internally, and when the remote control message request signal is received requesting to receive the received original message from the outside via the telephone line, the facsimile is stored in the original. Transmitting a signal corresponding to the number of receptions of the message to the sender who has sent the remote control message request signal; And a second step of transmitting the original message selected by the sender among the stored original messages to the external facsimile designated by the sender.

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

1 is a hardware configuration diagram of a facsimile for carrying out the present invention, which is provided with a numeric key and a function key to execute various operations of the facsimile, a signal inputted from a telephone line, and an original. NCU (Network Control Unit) (2) which receives a message and sends signal and original message to an external telephone or facsimile, modulates a signal or original message to be sent to an external telephone or facsimile and transmits it to NCU (2) Modem (3) for demodulating external signals or original messages input via (2), the system is operated in accordance with the signals input through the operation panel unit 1 and the originals from the outside through the modem (3) When the message is transmitted, the user's absence is caused by the original message being recorded and discharged on the recording sheet or by the control of an external remote control signal input through the modem 3. A control unit 4 for controlling the system to send the received original message to another region, a recording unit 5 for recording the original message received from the outside, a reading unit 6 for reading the original to be sent to the outside, and an external source RAM (RAM) 7 for storing the received original message and various data, ROM (ROM 8) for storing a program for operating the system, and a display unit 9 for displaying information generated from the fax.

FIG. 2 is a detailed flowchart of a method for automatically controlling a remote control of a facsimile showing an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the attached drawings of FIG. 1 and FIG.

First, the original message transmitted from the outside is input to the NCU 2 through the telephone line, and the original message input to the NCU 2 is demodulated by the modem 3, decoded by the control unit 4, and then controlled by the control unit 4. Is recorded on the recording paper by the recording unit 5 and discharged to the outside, or stored in the RAM 7 when there is no user member or recording paper.

At this time, a user makes an external call (hereinafter referred to as a caller), the control unit 4 receives an externally received original message stored in the RAM 7 via a current telephone line. After detecting that the remote control message request DTMF signal is requested (101), if not the remote control message request signal, switch to the automatic receiving mode (102), and if the remote control message request signal transmits a dial tone to the caller through the telephone line ( 103) Wait for the password to be entered.

When the password is input from the sender after the process, the control unit 4 decodes the input password and compares it with the password stored in the RAM 7 (104). As a result of the comparison, if the password does not match, the process It is repeated for three times (105) and even after the three times the password does not match and the line is switched (106), but if the password is matched to transmit a dial tone (107).

After the procedure 107, the data stored in the RAM 7 is searched for a received original message (108). As a result of the search, if no original message is received, a dial tone is sent to the caller indicating that no original message has been received (109) and the line is switched (110), but if there is a received original message, the original message is sent. After transmitting the dial tone by the number corresponding to the number of receptions (111), the dial tone is transmitted again indicating that the dial tone is transmitted by the number corresponding to the number of times of the original message (112).

After the above process, if the sender wants to send all received original messages (113) and detects all the original messages stored in the RAM 7 (114) and if the sender wants only a part of the received original messages (113), the sender wants the originals. After detecting only the message (11%), it transmits a dial tone to the caller via the telephone line (116). Then, when the sender transmits a signal corresponding to the original message sending position, the control unit 4 decodes it and determines the original message sending position (117).

Here, the original message sending position sent by the sender may be where the current sender is, and on the other hand may be a third place that is not where the current sender is.

Therefore, if the original message sending position is the place where the current sender sends a signal (117), after detecting the CED tone (118), the original message detected in step 114 or 115 is sent to the place where the sender is located (119). If the sending position is the third region other than the region where the user is located (117), the third position to send the original message is detected (120). That is, when the sender transmits a signal indicating the telephone number for the third position to send the original message, the control unit 4 decodes it to recognize the original message sending position and transmits the telephone number of the original message sending position to the RAM 7. It is stored (121).

After the process, the line with the caller is switched (122) and after a certain time (123), the phone number stored in the RAM 7 is automatically redialed (124) to determine whether communication with the third message sending position is possible. If it is possible to transmit the original message, the original message detected in step 114 or 115 is transmitted to the corresponding position (125).

As described above, the present invention is very convenient because the user can receive a message in a desired area by remotely controlling the fax even when the user is away.
