The present invention relates to a fax data transceiver and a transmission method for transmitting the received fax data to another fax data transceiver, and more particularly, the fax data selectively received based on the caller information of the sender fax data transceiver It relates to a fax data transceiver for transmitting to another fax data transceiver and a transmission method thereof.

With the recent increase in the use of fax data transceivers such as fax machines, the performance and additional functions of fax data transceivers have been gradually improved. Such a fax data transmission and reception apparatus is a device for transmitting and receiving information data to be transmitted in the form of a document, and the transmission and reception of the fax data through the Internet network as well as the existing Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) method.

In order to transmit and receive the fax data, the sender can enter the information of the document and enter the phone number of the other party at the place where the fax data transceiver is installed, and then send the corresponding document.

When the user who wants to send the fax data enters the other party's telephone number and inputs the corresponding document into the fax data transceiver, the calling fax data transceiver sends a ring signal to the other receiving fax data transceiver.

Recently, a caller ID display function for transmitting and receiving a signal including caller ID information of a caller's fax data transceiver between the ring signals has been added. When a call between the sender and the receiver's fax data transceiver is established, the receiver's fax data transceiver transmits the fax data receiving capability to the sender's fax data transceiver using a fax protocol such as DIS (Digital Identification Signal). The sending fax data transmitting / receiving apparatus recognizes the fax data receiving capability of the receiving fax data transmitting / receiving apparatus through the fax protocol, and selects a common capability of the receiving side and the sending side to determine the fax data communication mode.

Therefore, according to the determined fax data communication mode, the transmitting side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus transmits the fax data, and the receiving side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus receives. On the other hand, according to the TSI (Transmitting Subscriber Identification) protocol, the caller ID of the sending fax data transceiver can be transmitted. In general, the received fax data is output to the sheet by the receiving side fax data transceiver.

On the other hand, with the recent development of communication means such as mobile terminals and fax data transmission and reception devices, it is possible to establish various communication conditions so that tasks can be performed in the same places as in the office even in remote offices such as working from home or performing business trips. The concept of mobile office is being introduced.

Accordingly, a fax data transceiver having a function of forwarding, i.e., forwarding the received fax data to another set of fax data transceivers, rather than outputting the received fax data to a paper is used. have.

The fax data transceiver with this forwarding function allows telecommuters, long-term business travelers, and users in areas other than the office to receive and receive received fax data from the telephone number of the fax data transceiver installed in the office. All.

However, in the case of a conventional fax data transceiver having a forwarding function, all received fax data is forwarded to another set of fax data transceivers, and thus it is not possible to selectively receive fax data received from a specific fax data transceiver. have.

That is, since all received fax data is transmitted to another set fax data transceiver without discriminating the sending fax data transceiver, unnecessary fax data received and received fax data is transmitted from a remote place. In addition, there is a problem that the fax data to be received in the office rather than the remote is transmitted to the other fax data transceiver.

      Technical problem to be solved by the present invention to overcome the above problems, Fax data transmission and reception device for transmitting the fax data selectively received on the basis of the sender information of the sending fax data transceiver to another fax data transceiver and its transmission method To provide.

In order to solve the above technical problem, a receiving side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus having a function of transmitting the received fax data according to the present invention to another fax data transmitting and receiving device, at least one of the other fax data transmitting and receiving device to be transmitted An ID storage unit for storing a caller ID of the calling party fax data transceiver of the calling party, and an ID comparison unit for comparing the caller ID transmitted from the calling fax data transceiver after receiving a ring signal with the caller ID stored in the ID storing unit A transmission unit for receiving fax data from the sender's fax data transceiver, a transmission unit for transmitting the received fax data to the other fax data transceiver, and a transmission for transmitting the fax data received through the receiver to another fax data transceiver To determine if the function is turned on A believer ID selectively transmitting the fax data received by the another group fax data transceiver, if present in the ID storage unit is characterized in that a control unit for controlling the transport unit.

Preferably, the control unit is characterized in that for outputting the received fax data on a paper sheet if the delivery function is not set.

In addition, the method for transmitting the fax data received by the fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus according to the present invention to another fax data transmitting and receiving device, determining whether a ring signal is received, when the ring signal is received from the sending fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus Comparing the set caller ID with the caller ID of the at least one calling party fax data transceiver stored to be transmitted by the other fax data transceiver, receiving the fax data from the calling fax data transceiver; Determining whether a forwarding function for forwarding the received fax data to another fax data transceiver is set; and if the sender ID matching the result of the comparison is stored when the forwarding function is set, the received fax is selectively received. Send data to the other fax data transceiver It is characterized by including the steps:                     

Preferably, when the forwarding function is not set, the received fax data is output on paper.

Hereinafter, an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a fax data and a method of transmitting the same according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an environment in which a fax data transmission and reception apparatus according to the present invention is used.

The sending fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 100 transmits a fax signal to the receiving fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 200 through a communication network such as a PSTN. The receiving side fax data transceiver 200 receives this. Then, selectively transmits the fax data to the other fax data transceiver 300 through a predetermined process.

2 is a block diagram of an apparatus for transmitting and receiving fax data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Fax data transmitting and receiving device 200 according to the present invention is a ring signal detection unit 210, ID receiver 220, ID comparison unit 230, ID storage unit 240, receiver 250, transmitter 260 , An output unit 270 and a control unit 280.

The ring signal detecting unit 210 periodically checks whether a ring signal transmitted from the calling side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 100 is input through the communication network in the standby state of the receiving side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 200. When the ring signal is input and the number of ring signals is detected, the fax data reception operation starts.

On the other hand, according to the caller ID display function, a signal including the caller ID information of the calling party's fax data transmitting / receiving device is received between sections in which a ring signal is received. Recognition of the caller ID may be performed by using a conventional modem and caller ID control method, which is well known to those skilled in the art as a known technology, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

The ID receiver 220 receives the signal including the caller ID information, extracts the caller ID, and inputs it to the ID comparator 230. The ID comparison unit 230 compares the caller ID of the received sender-side fax data transceiver with the caller ID stored in the ID storage unit 240, respectively. The ID storage unit 240 stores caller IDs such as phone numbers of a plurality of fax data transceivers preset by a user.

On the other hand, if there is no caller ID display function, the caller ID transmitted according to the TSI protocol for transmitting the caller ID according to the user's setting of the caller's fax data transceiver is extracted by the protocol processing unit (not shown) and the ID comparison unit ( 230). The protocol processing unit (not shown) also transmits a fax reception capability to the calling party's fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 100 according to the fax protocol.

Upon receiving the transmitted fax receiving capability, the calling party fax data transmitting / receiving apparatus 100 determines the receiving fax receiving capability, selects a common fax communication capability of the calling party and the receiving party, and determines a fax communication mode. The fax communication mode is transmitted to the receiving side fax data transmitting / receiving apparatus 200 by using. Accordingly, transmission and reception of fax data is started in the determined fax communication mode.

Receiving unit 250 receives the fax data transmitted from the source fax data transceiver 100 through a communication network such as a PSTN. The received fax data is processed according to the comparison result of the ID comparison unit 230.

That is, when the comparison result of the ID comparison unit 230, if the caller ID of the sender-side fax data transmission and reception apparatus 100 matches any one caller ID stored in the ID storage unit 240, the received fax data is transmitted. The other fax data set through the unit 260 is transmitted to the transceiver.

However, when the comparison result of the ID comparison unit 230, if the caller ID of the calling party fax data transceiver 100 does not match any caller ID stored in the ID storage unit 240, the received fax data is output unit. Through 270, the paper is printed on the paper.

On the other hand, the controller 280 determines whether a function of transmitting the received fax data to the other fax data transceiver is set in the receiving fax data transceiver 200. When the function of transmitting the received fax data to another fax data transceiver is not set, the received fax data is not transmitted to the other fax data transceiver and is controlled to be printed on the paper through the output unit 270.

When the function of transmitting the received fax data to the other fax data transceiver is set in the receiving side fax data transceiver 200, the control unit 280 determines the calling side fax according to the comparison result of the ID comparison unit 230. If the caller ID of the data transceiver 100 matches any one of the caller IDs stored in the ID storage 240, the transmitter 260 is controlled to transmit the received fax data to another fax data transceiver.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the apparatus for transmitting and receiving fax data according to an embodiment of the present invention.                     

First, it is determined whether a ring signal transmitted from the sending side fax data transmission / reception apparatus 100 is received (S410). The receiving side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 200 periodically checks whether a ring signal transmitted from the transmitting side fax data transmitting and receiving apparatus 100 is input through a communication network in a standby state.

In addition, it is determined whether a fax data transmission function for transmitting the fax data received by the receiving side fax data transceiver to another fax data transceiver is set (S420). If the fax data transmission function is not set in the receiving side fax data transceiver, after receiving the fax data (S460), the received fax data is output and printed on the paper (S470).

When the fax data transmission function is set in the receiving fax data transceiver, when a ring signal is received, a signal including caller ID information of the calling fax data transceiver transmitted between the sections in which the ring signal is received is received. The caller ID is extracted from the received signal and compared with the stored caller ID (S430). The user may preset and store a caller ID of at least one calling party fax data transceiver to be transmitted to another fax data transceiver.

The fax data transmission and reception apparatus 200 receives the fax data transmitted through the communication network according to the fax communication mode using the fax protocol (S440). If the caller ID of the received sender-side fax data transceiver 100 matches any one of the stored caller IDs, the received fax data is transmitted to another fax data transceiver (S450).                     

However, if the caller ID of the sender-side fax data transceiver 100 does not match any of the stored caller IDs, the received fax data is output and printed on paper (S470).
