The present invention relates to a facsimile that can interface with each other and a method for automatically initializing information of the facsimile in the computer.

In general, a computer (hereinafter referred to as a computer) is connected to a facsimile to select a resolution according to the characteristics of the original or to set various other functions. When you want to set up your computer in such a facsimile environment, even if you have already entered information (shortcuts, IDs, selections, etc.) in the facsimile, you can do the same thing as when you enter the facsimile to set up the computer. It was very inconvenient because it had to be repeated.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically initializing information of a facsimile in a computer.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of automatically initializing information of a facsimile in a computer, the method comprising: checking whether a current online state is established between the facsimile and the computer; Generating a wake-up signal and transmitting the wake-up signal to the computer, the computer receiving the wake-up signal, the computer generating a wake-up response signal, and transmitting the wake-up signal to the facsimile; Receiving the wake-up response signal and sending initialization data, and receiving the initialization data from the computer and checking whether there is already data that has been celled up as initial data in the facsimile information area, the data has not been celled up. If not, the received data is transferred to the facsimile information area. It is characterized by consisting of a process of cell-up as vaporized data.

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

In the following description, numerous specific details such as components of specific circuits are shown, which are provided to aid a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in Esau. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a configuration diagram of a facsimile that can communicate with a computer to which the present invention is applied. Reference numeral 200 denotes the computer and reference numeral 100 denotes the fax.

Looking at the configuration of the facsimile 100, the control unit 111 controls the overall operation of the transmission mode, reception mode and copy mode of the fax according to the set program. In addition, the control unit 111 may include a program memory and a data memory or may be externally connected as shown by reference numeral 119. The program memory stores the program of the present invention, and the data memory temporarily stores dial information or other data generated during program execution. OPE (Operating Pannel) 112 is composed of a key input means and a display means. The key input means of the OPE 112 generates data of a key pressed by the user to designate each mode and perform an operation of the designated mode, and outputs the data to the controller 111. In addition, the display means of the OPE 112 performs a function of inputting and displaying display data indicating an operation state of the system when the controller 111 performs each mode. The sensor unit 113 detects the presence or absence of an input document and print paper, and outputs the detected state signal to the control unit 111. The scanner 114 moves the input document, scans the image of the document, and converts the image into digital data. The image processing unit 115 processes the image signal read from the scanner 114 in the transmission mode and the copy mode under the control of the control unit 111, encodes the image signal according to the standard of the facsimile, and receives the encoded image received through the transmission line in the reception mode. The signal is processed and decoded into the original image data. The print unit 116 prints the image data input from the image processing unit 115 on the print paper under the control of the control unit 111 and performs the reception mode and the copy mode. Under the control of the control unit 111, the modem 117 modulates and transmits the image data output from the image processing unit 115 into a transmission type image signal in the transmission mode, and processes the image signal input in the reception mode in the image processing unit 115. Demodulate so that

The network control unit (NCU) 118 forms a transmission / reception path between the telephone line (tip, ring) and the modem 1117 under the control of the control unit 111. The universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) 120 transmits scanned image data and various facsimile information to a personal computer or data to be transmitted and printed from the computer under the control of the control unit 111 in an asynchronous communication method. The computer is connected to the facsimile via a cable, and transmits and receives data through the UART 120.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of automatically initializing information of a facsimile in a computer according to the present invention.

In steps 2a and 3a, the control unit 111 of the facsimile and the control unit (not shown) of the computer check whether the current state is online. If the check result is in the online state, in step 2b, the control unit 111 of the facsimile generates a wake-up signal and sends it to the computer through the UART 120. Therefore, in step 3b, the controller of the computer receives the wake-up signal. In step 3c, the control unit of the computer generates a wake-up response signal and transmits the wake-up response signal to the control unit 111 of the facsimile through the UART 120.

In step 2c, the control unit 111 of the facsimile receives the wake-up response signal, and proceeds to step 2d to transmit initialization data through the UART 120. In this case, the initialization data of the facsimile refers to local identity (identification), local telephone number, one dial, speech dial, cover page information, and the like.

In step 3d, the control unit of the computer receives the initialization data, for example, at 19.2 kbps, and proceeds to step 3e to check whether there is already data set up as initial data in the facsimile information area. At this time, if there is already registered data, the operation is terminated. If the data is not already registered, the process proceeds to step 3f to register the received data as initialization data in the facsimile information area. In other words, the computer is to set up its facsimile information area with the received facsimile data. Here, the facsimile information area is an ID data area, a telephone number area, a speed dial area, a cover page area, and the like, and whether or not there is already data registered as initial data is determined by checking each of the areas.

The present invention as described above has a convenient advantage because it does not have to repeat the same operation as when inputting to the facsimile by automatically copying the information registered in the facsimile to the computer when the cell up from the computer to the facsimile environment.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.
