Description

How to change the fax's scheduled job information

The present invention relates to a facsimile, and more particularly, to a method of changing reservation task information for time reservation transmission and reception.

Normally, the facsimile may start transmitting and receiving at the current time, but has a function of scheduling transmission and reception at a time desired by the user or at night when the frequency of use of the telephone line is low and the rate is discounted. This scheduling function can be used to schedule a task required by the user. That is, the user can make a reservation to transmit or receive to a desired place, that is, a telephone number at a desired time. It is also possible to add originals, i.e., image information, or to delete the entire reserved content. Examples of such reservation tasks include timed reservation transmission and timed reservation polling reception.

The reserved task is registered as reserved task information, and the reserved task information according to the registration is stored in a memory provided in the facsimile. The memory map of the conventional reserved task management table for managing the reserved task An example is shown in Table 1 below.

As shown in Table 1, the reservation task information is composed of detailed items such as a reservation type, a telephone number, a name, a start time, and an image information location corresponding to a serial number assigned to each reservation task. Enter and register the scheduled task information according to the task. The serial number is a serial number for the registered reservation tasks, the reservation type is a kind of reservation task, the telephone number and name are the telephone number and name of the other party's facsimile to receive timed reservation transmission or timed reservation polling, and the start time is It is a reservation time to start transmission or polling reception, and the image information position is a storage area in which image information which is an original to be transmitted is stored. In addition, Table 1 shows a sorted state based on a start time for each scheduled task.

On the other hand, after registering a reservation job, if additionally sending the same manuscript to another place or changing the registered telephone number, additional reservation job registration is required. At this time, additional reservation can be registered in one of two ways. The first is a method of newly registering the same reservation job with only the reservation job already registered and the telephone number being different, and the contents of the manuscript, that is, image information. The second method is to delete the previously registered reservation job and newly register the reservation job including the same manuscript content and the existing phone number and the new phone number.

However, using these methods, the user must find the original document again, store it in memory, and register a new reservation job that includes the new phone number. In particular, in the case of using the first method described above, memory is wasted because the same manuscript contents are repeatedly stored in different storage areas of the memory.

In this way, if only the reservation job and the telephone number already registered are different, and the manuscript contents are applied to the example shown in Table 1 above when using the method of registering the same new reservation job, it is shown in Table 2 below.

In Table 2, the serial number 2 is a newly registered reservation task, and only the reservation task registered with the serial number 1 and the phone number are different, and the information of all other items is the same. Despite this, the user not only has to find the original document again, store it in the memory and register a new reservation job, but also the memory is wasted because the same image information is stored in the storage areas of the 1st and 4th positions of the memory.

As described above, in order to transmit the same manuscript to another place or to change a registered telephone number in the state where a reservation task has already been registered, there is a disadvantage in that an additional reservation task must be newly registered and memory is wasted.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for changing reservation task information that can conveniently change a registered reservation task.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of changing reservation task information which can prevent a waste of memory.

1 is a block diagram of a facsimile to which the present invention is applied;

2 is a process flow diagram in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention for achieving the above object is characterized in that the reservation task information registered in the reservation task management table for each reservation task selectively added, modified, deleted by the user for each detailed item.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description and the annexed drawings, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention, such as specific processing flows or memory maps. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. And a detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

First, referring to FIG. 1, which shows a block diagram of a conventional facsimile to which the present invention is applied, the CPU 100 controls the operation of each part of the facsimile according to a program stored in the memory 102. The memory 102 stores operation programs, protocol control programs, and various reference data of the central processing unit 100, and temporarily stores data according to program execution of the central processing unit 100. At this time, the memory 102 stores the reservation task information according to the reservation task registration as described above. The operating panel (OPP) 104 has a plurality of numeric keys, function keys and a display device, and applies key data according to key input to the central processing unit 100 and the central processing unit 100. Control various types of facsimile. The scanner 106 scans an original and outputs image data according to the original image. The image data output from the scanner 106 is processed by the central processing unit 100 and stored in the memory 102 and transmitted by the modem (modulator-demodulator) 108 or printed by the printing unit 112. do. The modem 108 modulates the output data and the image data of the central processing unit 100 into analog signals, transmits them to the telephone line through the network control unit (NCU) 110, and demodulates the received analog signals. The NCU 110 forms a line between the telephone line and the modem 108 under the control of the central processing unit 100. The printing unit 112 prints an image under the control of the central processing unit 100. The sensor unit 114 detects the state of each part of the facsimile, including sensing the remaining amount of the recording paper, document detection, and the like, and notifies the central processing unit 100.

In the above-described facsimile, in the present invention, when a reservation job is already registered and the same original must be additionally sent to another place or a registered telephone number must be changed, the existing reservation job information is not registered without newly registering additional reservation job. Changes can be made by adding, modifying or deleting. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation according to the flowchart of FIG. 2 is performed by the central processing unit 100 and programmed in the memory 102.

First, when a user wants to change a previously registered reservation task, the user inputs a reservation task key for changing the reservation task through the OPE 104. Then, the central processing unit 100 is in the standby state and confirms the mode selection of the addition, modification, and deletion of the reserved task information in step 202 in response to the reserved task key input in step 200. At this time, the user selects an additional mode through the OPE 104 when he wants to add an original, that is, image information, to an existing reservation job. If you want to delete the existing scheduled task, select the deletion mode via the OPE (104). On the other hand, if you want to modify the contents of the existing scheduled task through the OPE 104 to select the modification mode.

If the additional mode is selected in step 202, the central processing unit 100 inputs the reserved job number input by the user in step 204, that is, the serial number of the reserved job to which the reserved job information is added. ). Then, the central processing unit 100 reads the document loaded by the user by the scanner 106 in step 206 and stores the read image information in the designated location of the memory 102 corresponding to the reserved job number. Thereafter, the central processing unit 100 updates the management contents of the reservation task, that is, the reservation task information with the changed contents in step 208, and then returns to the standby state.

In addition, when the modification mode is selected in step (202), the central processing unit (100) OPE (104) the reservation task number input by the user in step 210, that is, the serial number of the reservation task to modify the reservation task information ). The CPU 100 adds, modifies, or deletes the details of the detailed items selected by the user in steps 212 to 214, according to the user's selection. Thereafter, the central processing unit 100 updates the management contents of the reservation task, that is, the reservation task information with the changed contents in step 208, and then returns to the standby state.

When the delete mode is selected in step 202, the central processing unit 100 inputs the reserved job number input by the user in step 216, that is, the serial number of the reserved job to be deleted. Enter through The central processing unit 100 deletes the reservation task input by the user in step 218, updates the management contents of the reservation task, that is, the reservation task information with the changed contents in step 208, and then returns to the standby state. do.

In this way, if only the reservation job and the telephone number already registered are different, and the manuscript contents are applied to the example shown in Table 1, the registration example when using the same method of registering a new reservation job is shown in Table 3 below.

Table 3 shows a state in which only a telephone number is added to serial number 1 according to the present invention without registering as a new reservation task when a new reservation task is required by changing only the serial number 1 and the phone number shown in Table 1 above. That is, in this case, in this case, as shown in Table 2 above, the user must register as an additional new reserved job, so that the user can find and read the original again, store it in the memory 102, and newly register the reserved job. Just add a phone number. By sharing the image information, the memory 102 can be used efficiently.

Therefore, when you need to send the same manuscript to another place or change the registered phone number while the reservation job is already registered, it is convenient to add, modify or delete the existing registered job information without registering additional reservation job. It can be changed and the memory can be avoided.

As described above, the present invention can additionally send the same manuscript to another place or conveniently change the registered telephone number by adding, modifying, or deleting previously registered reserved job information, and wasting memory. There is an advantage that can be prevented.
