The present invention relates to a method of dialing by modifying a telephone number received from a counterpart in a facsimile.

In general, when receiving a facsimile communication or a caller ID service, the other party's telephone number can be known, and there is a case in which the received telephone number is often dialed due to a reply or other necessary operation. In this case, dialing is usually done through a private exchange. In addition, the received telephone number may be overseas. Both front and rear persons enter a number of digits in front of the telephone number, that is, a key for catching a trunk line or a key indicating a country code.

However, the present method of receiving the other party's telephone number and storing and printing it as journal data or management data only means that if the dialer wants to dial the number, the stored management data can be printed and called. It was very inconvenient to look at the number directly and enter the keys to be added as described above one by one to perform a dial.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to read a phone number received from the other party and stored in the memory on the screen, and correct the incoming phone number by dialing by directly using the insert and overwrite functions of the editor. The present invention provides a dialing method.

The present invention for achieving the above object is the memory means for storing the telephone number received from the other party, the display means for displaying the telephone number on the screen, the insert or overlay mode for setting and input the telephone number A dialing method for modifying an incoming telephone number of a facsimile having a key input means, the method comprising: accessing the memory means to read the received telephone numbers one by one and selecting a desired telephone number; It is characterized in that it consists of a process of modifying the received telephone number by setting an overlay mode and input a modified telephone number accordingly, and dialing the modified telephone number.

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

First, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. Also, in the following description, many specific details such as components of specific circuits are shown, which are provided to help a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It is obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. 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 to which the present invention is applied, and the control unit 111 controls overall operations of the facsimile transmission mode, the reception mode, and the copy mode according to a 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 other words, it has a number key used when modifying a phone number, and a mode and dial related key used when changing an overwrite and insert mode. Here, the insert mode is a mode for inserting a desired number or letter in front of the cursor, and the overwrite mode is a mode for inserting a desired number or letter at the position of the cursor. 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. Therefore, the telephone number according to the input of the arbitrary key data is displayed. 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. Under the control of the control unit 111, the image processing unit 115 processes the image signal read from the scanner 114 in the transmission mode and the copy mode, encodes the image signal to meet 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 image data input from the image processing unit 116 on a print sheet when the reception mode and the copy mode are executed under the control of the control unit 111. 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 117 under the control of the control unit 111.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of dialing a received counterpart phone number according to the present invention.

In step 2a, the controller 111 accesses the telephone number management area of the data memory and reads the telephone number previously received and stored from the counterpart. In step 2b, the display means of the OPE 112 is controlled to display the read telephone number. In step 2c, the read-out phone number is selected or not selected depending on whether the user wants to modify the phone number. The selection uses forward and backward keys. In step 2d, the phone number selected in step 2c is read. After this process, if the desired telephone number is selected, the initial data string is set to the overwrite mode in step 2e. In step 2f, if the mode conversion key input is detected, if the mode conversion key input is detected, the process proceeds to step 2g. If the current overwrite mode is used, the mode is changed to the insert mode. This status is indicated by the cursors '_' and '■' on the screen, respectively. In step 2h, the data string is modified for overwriting or insert functions. After the modification, in step 2i, the OPE 112 is scanned to check whether dialing has started, and if a specific key input for commanding start is detected, dialing is performed in step 2j.

On the other hand, if there is no mode change key input in step 2f, the process proceeds directly to step 2h. If a specific key input commanding the start of dialing is not detected in step 2i, dialing is performed in step 2j. Return to step 2f above.

For example, if the phone number selected in step 2c is' 745-0084 'and you want to modify this phone number to' 9P7450084 ', move the cursor to' 7 'of' 745-0084 'and press the mode switch key to' After 7 'and' ■ 'are flickering, press' 9' and 'P' (pause). If you press '8P' to '8P7450084' without pressing '9P' by mistake, change the cursor to '_' and move the cursor left or right (◀, ▶) to the '8' position. Press the 'key. After completing the modification of the received telephone number through this process, the dial can be dialed as desired by pressing the start key to start the dial.

The present invention as described above has the advantage that it is easy to dial by reading the phone number stored in the memory on the screen and modifying it immediately by using the insert and overwrite functions of the editor even if the counterpart's phone number is not correctly remembered.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made 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.
