1 is a block diagram of a facsimile for carrying out the present invention. Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given with reference to FIG. 1.

The control unit 111 controls the facsimile overall according to the program of the set mode.

The network control unit (NCU) 118 is a line connection unit and is controlled by the control unit 111 to form a communication path between a public telephone network (PSTN), a modem 117, or a telephone 100 connected to a public telephone network and a fax in parallel. The modem 117 under the control of the control unit 111 demodulates the analog signal input through the NCU 118 into a digital signal, and modulates the digital signal provided from the control unit 111 into an analog signal.

When the transmission or copy mode is set, the scanner 114 scans a document supplied under the control of the control unit 111, converts the document into image data, and provides the converted image data to the control unit 111.

The image processor 115 modulates and transmits the image data output from the scanner 114 according to a transmission type, that is, a standard of a facsimile. In the reception mode, the image processor 115 processes the encoded image signal input through a transmission line. To be demodulated in its original form.

The print unit 116 prints the received data or data to be copied under the control of the control unit 111.

OPE (Operating Pannel) 112 is composed of key metrics including a plurality of numeric keys and function keys for setting a function, and provides the controller 111 with key data generated according to a key operation. In addition, the OPE 112 includes a display unit for displaying the current operating state of the facsimile under the control of the control unit 111. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the OPE 112 has a serial dial registration key and a serial dial start key.

The memory 119 temporarily stores data received when there is no recording sheet in the reception mode or a specific function is set under the control of the controller 111. The memory 119 also constitutes a serial telephone number table in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The parallel connection telephone 120 is connected in parallel to the facsimile through the NCU 118 and performs a call during a voice call under the control of the controller 111.

The sensor unit 113 detects the state of the document and the recording sheet and informs the control unit 111.

The speakerphone 121 is connected in parallel to the connection line of the modem 117 and the NCU 118 to receive the control of the control unit 111 through the modem 117, and generates a sound according to a predetermined state.

2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the serial telephone number table printed in FIG. Hereinafter will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

There are telephone numbers registered in the memory 119 by the one touch dial function and the speed dial function for the telephone number for the user to dial through the OPE 112. In addition, the latest telephone number of the called party is limited to a preset number and is automatically stored in the memory 119. These functions are well known in the art. Accordingly, when the control unit 111 enters the print mode through the OPE 112 to confirm the telephone numbers registered in the memory 119, the list of the phone numbers is printed through the printing unit 116. At this time, the list of telephone numbers printed here is blank for the serial dial ranking and the estimated time. The serial dial ranking and expected time will be described in FIG. 3. 1-10 of the list number indicates the stored phone numbers due to the one-touch dial function, 11-60 of the list number indicates the stored phone numbers due to the speed dial function, and 61-N of the list number indicates recent calls due to the redial function. LAST Dials represent the stored area.

3 is a diagram showing a process of assigning a serial dial ranking to a serial telephone number table according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The facsimile enters the serial dial registration mode when the serial dial registration key is input in step 312 through the OPE112 by the user in the standby mode of step 311. Thereafter, the controller 111 checks whether the stored telephone number exists in the memory 119 and checks whether the call waiting time is input through the OPE 112 in step 314 when the telephone number exists. At this time, in the present invention, the call waiting time was set to 5 minutes. When the call waiting time is input in step 314, the control unit 111 substitutes 1 for the serial number N in step 315. Thereafter, in step 316, when the user inputs the number key and the * key of the OPE 112 corresponding to the list number through the phone number list of FIG. 2, the control unit 111 detects this. Thus, in step 317, the control unit 111 assigns 1 to the serial dial ranking area of the telephone number list of the second diagram corresponding to the list number. When the expected call time is input in step 318, the controller 111 registers the estimated call time in the corresponding area. Referring to FIG. 2, when the serial dial ranking is 1, the list number is 2 and the expected call time is 8:40. In step 320, the control unit 111 adds 1 to the serial number N so that the serial number N becomes 2. Step 320 then returns to step 316. With this repetition, the serial dial ranking in FIG. 2 is assigned, and thus the estimated call time is given.

In step 316, the list number key and the * key are checked for input, and when the list key and the * key are not input, step 316 returns to step 311.

4 is a diagram illustrating a process of performing a call service based on a serial dial ranking according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

When the serial dial start key is input by the user in step 411, the controller 111 enters the serial dial start mode. Subsequently, in step 412, 1 is assigned to serial number N, and in step 413, a telephone number having a serial dial ranking of serial number 1 first is dialed. This is seen in Figure 2, 02-234-5678 is dialed. When the called party is busy in step 414, the controller 111 performs redialing in step 415. In step 416, the controller 111 checks the call and performs the process of step 417 when the call is in progress. Thus, even if the caller attempts to dial again more than a preset number of times, the caller designates the serial number N as the final rank in step 418 when the caller is busy and finishes the automatic dialing sequentially. Allow ringing.

If the called party is not busy in step 414, the facsimile performs a call service in step 419. In step 420, it is checked that the call service is completed. Thus, when the user ends the call, the control unit 111 checks this and confirms that the serial number N is the final rank in step 421. Thus, when the serial dial ranking is not the final ranking, the control unit 111 checks the call waiting time for 5 minutes in step 422. After 5 minutes have elapsed, the controller 111 adds 1 to the serial number N and gives 2 to the serial number N in step 423. Step 423 then transitions to step 413. Thus, dialing is performed on the called party's telephone number with a serial dial rank of 2. By repeating the above operation, the control unit 111 performs automatic dialing according to the serial dial ranking.

As mentioned above, users who frequently dial a uniform phone number use the serial dial start mode so that they do not have to dial each call and wait until the phone rings. Therefore, when the user puts the memory in the serial number table, there is an advantage that the caller can easily dial by sequentially dialing the called party.
