The present invention relates to a method for automatically transmitting and printing a specific message in a facsimile, and more particularly, to a method for automatically transmitting or printing a specific message to a set telephone number at a time of a specified date.

In general, the facsimile service provides additional functions for the convenience of the user in addition to the main function of sending and receiving the original. Such additional functions are implemented in various ways such as time reservation transmission function, memory reception function, and broadcast transmission function. In order to provide better additional functions to users, many companies are making efforts.

Briefly describing the above-described functions, the time-scheduled transmission function sets a document to be sent and a time to be transmitted, and then checks the time data from the clock chip to send the original to the reserved party at a specified time. to be. In addition, the broadcast transmission function transmits the same original to a plurality of set counterpart facsimile machines, and the memory reception function stores image data received when memory is insufficient and prints image data stored in memory when the recording paper is replenished. It is function to do

In this case, the facsimile with a memory in performing the reserved transmission function may be configured to scan a document to be transmitted and register it in the memory, and transmit the registered data to the counterpart at a specified time.

Therefore, in order to use the conventional time reservation function, only one of the faxes without memory has to be left for a long time with the original to be sent. Therefore, if you want to send another original during that time, remove the original. Should be used. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the original should be restored to its original state after use.

On the other hand, in order to deliver a message using a telephone or a facsimile on a specific anniversary such as a family celebration, a sacrifice and a birthday, there is a hassle of remembering a specific anniversary. To solve this inconvenience, you can use the reservation time and the time reservation function to store the message in memory so that the message is transmitted at the scheduled time. However, in the case of using the time reservation function or the broadcasting function as described above, it may cause another problem of scanning the corresponding message every time and storing it in a memory, and the memory will be limited, so the reservation will be limited.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of selecting an instant message set in a memory and automatically transmitting the registered telephone number when the set date is reached.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for automatically printing when a specific message set in a memory is reached at a set date.

Hereinafter, a preferred operation according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the above configuration.

First, referring to the first, second, third, and the like, a process for setting a specific message automatic transmission and print service function will be described. In step 310, the CPU 110 automatically transmits a specific message from the key input unit of the OPE 120. Detect the input of a select key to set the print service function. When the selection key is detected, the CPU 110 switches to the service setting mode and proceeds to step 312, and displays a service number corresponding to the type of the specific message shown in FIG. 2A in the OPE 120. Mark on. In operation 314, the CPU 110 detects whether a service number for selecting a specific message is input from the key input unit of the OPE 120. When the service number is detected, the CPU 110 registers the service number detected in step 316 to the internal RAM in the form of FIG. 2B.

In addition, the CPU 110 receives a selection code for selecting whether to transmit or print the registered specific message in step 318 from the key input unit of the OPE 120 and registers it in the internal RAM as shown in FIG. 2B. . If a selection code for selecting a transmission is input, the CPU 110 displays a message on the display unit of the OPE 120 to input a date and time for transmitting a specific message. The CPU 110 detects whether the correct date and time are input in response to the displayed message in step 322, and registers the input date and time in the internal RAM in the form of FIG. 2B in step 324. When registration is completed, a message is displayed on the display unit of the OPE 120 to input a telephone number to be transmitted at a time of a specified message. When the phone number is input from the key input unit of the OPE 120 in step 328 in response to step 326, the CPU 110 registers the phone number input in step 330 in the internal RAM.

However, when a selection code for selecting printing is input in step 318, the CPU 110 displays a message on the display unit of the OPE 120 to input a date and time for printing a specific message. In response to step 332, the CPU 110 detects whether the correct date and time are input in step 334, and registers the date and time input in step 336 with the internal rank in the form of FIG. 2B. When the registration is completed, the CPU 110 ends the automatic transmission of the specific message and the setting of the print service function.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 5, the performance of a specific message automatic transmission and print service function will be described. In operation 410, the CPU 110 determines whether the time of the registered date has been registered. In the determining process, the current time is lost from the clock chip 124 provided in the CPU 110, and it is determined whether the specific time is compared with the etching of the setting date registered in the RAM of FIG. do.

In step 410, the time of the date set is sensed. In step 412, the CPU 110 determines whether 0 corresponding to the transmission mode is registered in the internal RAM or 1 corresponding to the print mode. . If the selection code is registered as 0, the process proceeds to step 414 where the CPU 110 reads the selected phone number from the internal RAM to form a call loop. When the call loop is formed, the selected address registered in the internal RAM is read, and the specific message registered in the form of FIG. 2a is read and transmitted in the memory 122 area corresponding to the address. However, if it is determined in step 412 that the selection code is 1, the CPU 110 proceeds to step 416 and reads the selected address registered in the internal RAM to the memory 122 region corresponding to the address in the form of FIG. 2A. The registered specific message is read out and printed through the printer 118. 5 shows an example of a specific message finally output by the above steps 414 and 416. FIG. 5 shows the date and time of September 28, 1995 through the above-described setting process, and the date of registration of the date of registration in the transmission or printing process as the service number corresponding to the birthday message is registered.
