The present invention relates to a method for notifying emergency messages of a facsimile system, and more particularly, to a method for notifying emergency situations generated when abnormal conditions occur by connecting a facsimile to a home automation system using image data or audio data.

In general, as the society becomes more complex, a home automation system with a crime prevention and disaster prevention function for alarming emergency situations occurring in the home is being developed. In other words, in a modern society where risks are always present, if an emergency situation such as fire, gas leak, or crime prevention occurs in the home, it can be alerted to an emergency state by the home automation system. Measures can be taken.

However, in the conventional home automation system, a voice message is generated through a speaker mounted in the system, and an emergency message generated by the sensor is generated. In the case of transmitting an emergency message to the outside, a dedicated line has to be installed separately. At the same time, there was a problem that the place where the emergency occurrence can be limited is limited.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically notifying emergency messages as image data when an abnormal condition occurs from a home automation system in a facsimile.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for automatically notifying an emergency situation by voice data when an abnormal condition occurs from a home automation system in a facsimile.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method of notifying an emergency situation by voice or image data when an emergency key is input by a user in a facsimile.

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

1 is a system block diagram according to the present invention, in which the facsimile 200 and the home automation system 300 are connected.

The facsimile 200 of the configuration stores a central processing unit 10 for controlling the system according to a predetermined program, and stores program data, protocol data and text data, and also stores a telephone number for notifying an emergency situation. And a memory unit 20 for accessing or storing data under the control of the central processing unit 10, an emergency registration key for registering a notification message, and an emergency key for notifying an emergency notification message, and various functions of the system. OPE (Operating pannel) having a plurality of keys for performing the operation, and having a display device for inputting the key data to the central processing unit 10 and displaying the display data of the central processing unit 10 when the key data is generated. 30, a scanner 40 which scans an image of an original and provides digital image data to the central processing unit 10, and the central processing unit 10 Under control and operated under a control of the modem 50 and a modem 50 for demodulating and outputting the output data of the central processing unit 10 and demodulating and outputting an analog receiving input. A network control unit (NCU) 60 for interfacing a signal of a telephone line (Tel-Line), a printer 70 for printing received data by a control signal of the central processing unit 10, and the home automation Receives an abnormal state alarm signal from the system 300 and converts the level and outputs to the central processing unit 10, the input / output (I / O) interface 80, and stores the automatic response message, the central processing unit ( It consists of the automatic answering device 100 which sends an automatic response message by the control signal of 10).

The home automation system 300 is a well-known technique generally used and is described in detail in patent application No. 90-6261 filed by the present applicant.

2 is a notification message registration control flow chart according to the present invention, a process of inputting a registrant address after inputting an emergency registration key, a process of inputting a registrant map location after inputting the registrant address, and registering the registrant map location Thereafter, a process of inputting a registrant's telephone number, and a process of inputting a recipient's telephone number after inputting the registrant's telephone number.

3 is an emergency message notification control flow diagram according to the present invention, which reads and dials a registered destination telephone number when an emergency key is input by an user or an emergency sensor is detected, and after dialing the destination telephone number. Detecting whether the destination is a telephone or a facsimile that is receivable; transmitting a voice message when the destination is a telephone call; and transmitting a video message when the destination is a fax during the detection process.

Based on the above-described configuration, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1-3.

In step 21, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the emergency registration key is input from the key input unit in the OPE 30, and enters the registration mode when the emergency registration key is input. In step 22, the central processing unit 10 inputs the registrant address input by the user from the OPE 30, displays it on the display device of the OPE 30, and stores it in the memory 20. Thereafter, when the registrant address input is completed, the process proceeds to step 23, and the central processing unit 10 inputs the registrant map location input by the user from the OPE 30 to display it on the display device of the OPE 30 and simultaneously displays it on the display device of the OPE 30. Store in When the registrant address input is completed, the process proceeds to step 24 and the central processing unit 10 inputs the registrant phone number input by the user from the OPE 30 and displays it on the display device of the OPE 30. Store in When the registrant phone number input is completed, the process proceeds to step 25 and the central processing unit 10 inputs the destination telephone number input by the user from the OPE 30 to display it on the display device of the OPE 30 and simultaneously displays it on the memory 20. ).

On the other hand, the registrant stores a voice message indicating that an abnormal condition has occurred in the answering machine 90, and the storing method thereof is the same as the method used in a generally used answering machine.

As described above with reference to FIG. 3, an operation of notifying a voice message or a video message after an abnormal condition is generated after registering an image message and a voice message to be notified in the memory 20 will be described. ) Checks whether an emergency key signal is input from the key input unit in the OPE 30 and proceeds to step 34 when the emergency key is input, and proceeds to step 32 without the emergency key being input. In step 32, the central processing unit 10 checks whether an abnormal state occurrence signal (eg, fire, crime prevention, gas detection signal) is input from the home automation system 300, and proceeds to step 34 when an abnormal state occurrence signal is input. do. However, in step 32, the abnormal state signal is not input from the home automation system 300, and the flow proceeds to step 33 to perform a general facsimile function. In step 34, the central processing unit 10 accesses and dials the destination telephone number registered in the memory 20, and proceeds to step 35. In step 35, the CPU 10 detects whether the destination is a telephone or a facsimile. At this time, if the destination is detected by telephone, the process proceeds to step 36 and the central processing unit 10 controls the answering machine 90 to send a voice message as shown in Table 1 through the modem 50, for example.

However, if the destination is detected as a facsimile in step 35, the process proceeds to step 37. The central processing unit 10 accesses the image data of the address, the map location, and the telephone number as shown in Table 2 stored in the memory 20. The modem 50 transmits the data.

Then, in step 38, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the set number of retries has been set, and if the set number of retries has not been reached (for example, three times), the process returns to step 34 and repeats the above-described operation to perform the set number of retries. The voice message or the image message is sent out, and the program ends when the voice message or the picture message is sent out a predetermined number of times.

As described above, in the facsimile connecting the home automation system, when the abnormal condition occurs, the registered counterfacsimile or telephone is notified of the directions and addresses, so that the notification of the abnormal condition can be accurately made and the countermeasures can be promptly taken. There is an advantage.
