How to Retransmit Received Data by Facsimile {METHOD FOR RE-TRANSMITTING OF RECEIVING DATA IN THE FACSIMILE}

The present invention relates to a method for retransmitting received data of a facsimile, and more particularly, to a method for retransmitting received data of a facsimile to be retransmitted to an arbitrary place except for the destination after receiving data transmitted from a transmission destination.

The present invention also relates to a method for retransmitting received data of a facsimile in which a corresponding destination can be set so that only data transmitted from a specific destination can be retransmitted to an arbitrary place except for the destination.

In general, a facsimile is an apparatus that outputs image data transmitted from a transmission destination through a telephone line or allows a user to transmit image data to any destination through the same telephone line. These facsimile machines typically include the functions of scanners, printers, and telephones, and are recently used as essential office automation equipment in homes and offices.

A conventional facsimile transmits an identifier (ID) of a sender during an initial protocol during data transmission, and a receiver outputs an identifier (ID) of the sender along with the received data when outputting the received data. At this time, the destination simply provides a function of displaying the identifier (ID) of the transmission destination on the display window or outputting the data using the recording means.

However, in the case described above, when the user of the destination moves to any place other than the destination, the user cannot confirm the data received by the receiving side fax. Accordingly, in case of urgent information, there is a problem that the user of the destination cannot immediately utilize it, and thus it is difficult to efficiently perform the task.

In addition, due to the above problem, the user of the destination should remain at the destination when important information is received through the facsimile, thereby limiting the active area of the user.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to receive data transmitted from an arbitrary destination at the destination and to re-receive at any other place in addition to the destination, thereby efficiently performing tasks without being restricted to the active area. The present invention provides a method of retransmitting received data of a facsimile so that it can be performed.

In addition, another object of the present invention described above is to allow a receiver to receive data transmitted from an arbitrary destination, to receive only data transmitted from a specific destination at the destination, and to re-receive at any other place other than the destination. The present invention provides a method for retransmitting received data.

1 shows a schematic block diagram of a facsimile according to the present invention.

1 shows a central processing unit 1 for controlling various functions of the facsimile, a memory 2 for storing data transmitted from a transmission destination under the control of the central processing unit 1, and various functions of the facsimile. An operating panel (3) equipped with a plurality of function keys arranged for selection and a display window for displaying the operation status of the facsimile, and a scanned digital image by scanning the original data to be sent. A scanner 4 for providing data to the central processing unit 1, a printer 5 for printing data received from a transmission destination, and the central processing unit 1 under the control of the central processing unit 1; And a modem 6 for modulating and outputting the output data of the analog data and demodulating the analog input signal received from the transmission destination as digital image data, and under the control of the central processing unit 1. It is composed of a network control unit (7) which is operated to form a call loop of telephone lines (Tip, Ring) and to interface the modulation / demodulation signal of the modem (6) and the signal of the telephone lines (Tip, Ring). .

Thus, the general operation of the conventional facsimile configured as follows.

First, when a facsimile operation, for example, a copy function or a transmission function start data is input from the operation panel 3, the central processing unit 1 scans an image of an original to be sent via the scanner 4, thereby operating the printer 5; The image signal of the original is transmitted to the telephone line (Tip, Ring) through the modem 6 and the network control unit 7 which will be copied later or described later.

More specifically, a case where a transmission key is input from the operation panel 3 to perform a transmission operation will be described as an example. First, an image of a document obtained by scanning from the scanner 4 to produce data for transmission is described. Memory (2) is required to store data and to store the code that compresses the image data. Also, once a communication path is formed, image data can be kept at a constant transmission speed so that the telephone line (Tip, Ring) There is an attribute that must be sent via:

Therefore, the facsimile reads the image of the original to be transmitted through the scanner 4 and stores it in the memory 2 as binary data sequentially.

When the scanning operation is completed, the scanner 4 notifies the central processing unit 1 that the scanning operation is completed.

The central processing unit 1 reads the image data of the original stored in the memory 2 and applies it to the modem 6 when a predetermined signal indicating that the scanning operation from the scanner 4 is completed is input.

The modem 6 modulates the image data of the input document into an analog signal of a transmission rate suitable for a telephone line (Tip, Ring) state, and then, via the network control unit 7, through the telephone line (Tip, Ring). Will be sent.

Then, when an image signal is input from the other party through the telephone line (Tip, Ring) and the network control unit 7, the modem 6 demodulates the image signal of the input document into image data and provides it to the central processing unit 1. Done.

The central processing unit 1 stores the input image data in the memory 2 and prints the stored image data through the printer 5.

When the transmission / reception is completed, the central processing unit 1 transmits / receives information on the transmission / reception, that is, transmission / reception (TX / RX), communication start time, communication time required, call number, number of pages, The communication result is printed as a report.

<Example of the present invention>

On the other hand, when the user wants to retransmit the data transmitted from the transmission destination to any place, an embodiment of setting the fax number of the destination to be retransmitted and the retransmission process will be described with reference to Figs. 2A and 2B.

First, a process of inputting a fax number of a destination to be resent is as shown in FIG. 2A. That is, the central processing unit 1 checks whether the fax number input mode of the destination to be resent is set among the various function keys of the operation panel 3 (S1). If it is determined in step 1 (S1) that the fax number input mode of the destination to be resent is not set, the central processing unit 1 controls the facsimile to perform the set function (S2). If it is determined in step 1 (S1) above that the fax number input mode of the destination to be resent is set, the central processing unit 1 stores the fax number data input by the user in the memory 2 (S3). . Thereafter, the central processing unit 1 checks whether the input of the destination fax number to be retransmitted is completed (S4), and if not, returns to the step 3 (S3) to perform all processes after step 3 (S3). Continue and finish all progress when done. Thus, the process of inputting the fax number of the destination to be resent is completed.

Next, the process of retransmitting the received data to any destination is as shown in Fig. 2b. That is, when the facsimile reception mode is set (S5), the central processing unit 1 stores the received data in the memory 2 (S6) and checks whether the reception state of the data has ended (S7). When the reception state of the data is finished in this step 7 (S7), the central processing unit 1 checks whether the reception data retransmission function is set (S8), and if it is determined that the reception data retransmission function is not set, the process is terminated. do.

If it is determined in step 8 (S8) that the reception data retransmission function is set, the central processing unit 1 dials the fax number of the set retransmission destination (S9), and it is determined whether the destination to be retransmitted is busy. Check (S10). If it is determined that the call is busy in step 10 (S10), the central processing unit 1 returns to step 9 (S9) to continue dialing the fax number of the retransmission destination.

If it is determined in step 10 (S10) that the destination to be retransmitted is not in a call, the central processing unit 1 detects the received data stored in the memory 2 and is set through the telephone line (Tip, Ring). After retransmission to the destination (S11), all processing ends.

Therefore, even if the user is in any place other than the destination, the receiving data can be retransmitted by setting the fax number of the corresponding place.

<Other Embodiments of the Present Invention>

On the other hand, when the user wants to retransmit the data transmitted from the transmission destination to any place, another embodiment of the process of setting the fax number of the retransmission destination and the retransmission process will be described with reference to Figs. 3A and 3B.

First, a process of inputting an identifier (ID) of a specific destination and a fax number of a destination to be retransmitted is shown in FIG. 3A. That is, the central processing unit 1 checks whether the fax number input mode of the destination to be resent is set among the various function keys of the operation panel 3 (S12). If it is determined in step 12 (S12) that the fax number input mode of the destination to be resent is not set, the central processing unit 1 controls the facsimile to perform the set function (S13). If it is determined in step 12 (S12) above that the fax number input mode of the destination to be resent is set, the central processing unit 1 stores the fax number data input by the user in the memory 2 (S14). . Thereafter, the central processing unit 1 checks whether the input of the destination fax number to be retransmitted is completed (S15), and if not, returns to the step 14 (S14) to perform all processes after step 14 (S14). Continue.

On the other hand, when the input of the fax number of the destination to be resent in step 15 (S15) is completed, the central processing unit 1 switches to the identifier (ID) input mode of the specific destination (S16). At this time, as the user inputs the identifier (ID) of the specific transmission destination, the CPU 1 stores the input identifier (ID) in the memory 2 (S17). Thereafter, the central processing unit 1 checks whether the input of the identifier (ID) of the specific transmission destination is completed (S18), and if not, returns to the step 17 (S17) to perform all the processes after the step 17 (S17). Continuing to perform, if the input of the identifier (ID) is completed, all the processing is finished. Thus, the process of inputting the fax number of the destination to be resent and the identifier (ID) of the specific destination is completed.

Next, a process of retransmitting the data received from the specific transmission destination among the received data to any destination is as shown in FIG. 3B. That is, when the facsimile reception mode is set (S19), the CPU 1 stores the received data in the memory 2 (S20), and checks whether the reception state of the data has ended (S21). When the reception state of the data is finished in this step 21 (S21), the central processing unit 1 checks whether the reception data retransmission function is set (S22), and if it is determined that the reception data retransmission function is not set, all processing is finished. do.

If it is determined in step 22 (S22) that the reception data retransmission function is set, the central processing unit 1 determines the identifier (ID) of the specific transmission destination set in the input process shown in FIG. 3A and the identifier of the currently received data. It is checked whether the IDs are the same (S23). If it is determined that the identifier ID of the specific transmission destination set in this step 23 (S23) and the identifier ID of the currently received data are different from each other, the central processing unit 1 ends all the processing.

If it is determined that the identifier ID of the specific sender and the identifier ID of the currently received data are identical to each other in step 23 (S23), this indicates that the user wants to be retransmitted. The processing apparatus 1 dials the fax number of the set retransmission destination (S24), and then checks whether the destination to be retransmitted is busy (S25). If it is determined that the call is busy in step 25 (S25), the central processing unit 1 returns to step 24 (S24) to continue dialing the fax number of the retransmission destination.

If it is determined in step 25 (S25) that the destination to be retransmitted is not in a call, the central processing unit 1 detects the received data stored in the memory 2 and is set through the telephone line (Tip, Ring). After retransmission to the destination (S26), all the processing ends.

Therefore, even if the user is located at any place other than the destination, it is possible to retransmit the received data from the specific destination by setting the fax number of the corresponding place.

As a result, according to the method for retransmitting the received data of the facsimile according to the present invention, even when the user of the destination moves to an arbitrary place other than the destination, the user can easily receive the data received at the receiving side facsimile by the facsimile installed in the arbitrary place. There is an advantage that can be seen.

In addition, because of the above-mentioned advantages, the user of the destination can immediately utilize this information in case of emergency, there is an advantage that can maximize the work efficiency.

In addition, the user of the destination can be separated from the destination even when important information is received through the fax, there is an advantage that does not limit the active area of the user.
