In addition, the two-dimensional bar code may include various additional data besides the caller's telephone number, such as the name of the fax data sender, the name of the fax data sender, the mobile telephone number of the fax data sender, or the title of the fax data.

The fax server 30 receives the fax image data transmitted from the fax apparatus 20, that is, the document information including the fax data and additional information about the fax data, for example, the fax image data including the two-dimensional bar code (S13). ).

In case I (CASE 1), the fax apparatus 20 may transmit the fax image data including the two-dimensional barcode to the receiving fax apparatus through the PSTN (S16).

According to an embodiment, as in case III (CASE III), the facsimile server 30 recognizes the document information, for example, a two-dimensional bar code, and is included in the two-dimensional bar code to facilitate the classification of the received fax image data. The information may be interpreted and the fax image data may be automatically classified and stored according to an analysis result (S15).

For example, when a folder called a tax invoice already exists in the fax server 30 and the two-dimensional barcode includes information indicating that it is an accounting document, for example, a tax invoice, the fax server 30 is included in the two-dimensional barcode. After the fax image data 40 is automatically stored in a folder named tax invoice among the plurality of folders already existing according to the analysis result of the received information (S15), the two-dimensional barcode 41 and the fax data ( The fax image data 40 including 42 may be transmitted to the PSTN (S16).

However, when the folder called income statement does not exist in the fax server 30 and the two-dimensional barcode includes information indicating that it is an accounting document, for example, an income statement, the fax server 30 interprets the information contained in the two-dimensional barcode. After automatically creating a folder with a new name called income statement according to the result, and automatically storing the fax image data in the created folder (S15), the fax including the two-dimensional barcode 41 and the fax data 42 The image data 40 may be transmitted to the PSTN (S16).

2 to 4, the receiving module 31-1 of the fax server 31 includes fax image data including a two-dimensional bar code 41 and a fax data 42 through a public switched telephone network (PSTN). 40) (S20).

The two-dimensional barcode analysis module 31-3 of the fax server 31 interprets the information included in the two-dimensional barcode 41 included in the fax image data 40 by using the two-dimensional barcode recognition technology (S30). .

The data extraction module 31-9 may provide data from the two-dimensional bar code 41 (for example, information on a supplier, information on a supply recipient, supply value, tax amount, and total amount of money, etc.) on the two-dimensional bar code 41. Similarly, information on the tax invoice may be extracted (S31), and the extracted data may be displayed through the display device 33 (S32).

For example, the tax invoice related data extracted from the data extraction module 31-9 which can operate in conjunction with the tax invoice management program may be used as raw data of the tax invoice management program. In this case, the user does not have to directly enter the tax invoice-related data directly into the tax invoice management program.

Although the fax data 42 of the fax image data 40 received by the fax server 31 via the PSTN includes tax invoice related data and the tax invoice related data is recognized through OCR, the recognition rate of the OCR is low. Therefore, the user is inconvenient to check and verify the contents of the fax data and the contents of the data recognized by the OCR.

However, the fax server 31 according to the embodiment of the present invention does not recognize the fax data 42 included in the fax easy data 40 by using the OCR, but instead uses the two-dimensional barcode analysis module 31-3. Through this, the data contained in the two-dimensional bar code 41 can be accurately extracted and the extracted data can be displayed through the display device 33 or directly used as raw data of the tax invoice management program.

For convenience of description, as an example of the data extracted from the two-dimensional bar code by the data extraction module 31-9, the tax invoice related data will be described, but this is merely exemplary. Therefore, the data extracted from the two-dimensional barcode by the data extraction module 31-9 includes all kinds of data that can be inserted into the two-dimensional barcode.

The two-dimensional barcode analysis module 31-3 of the fax server 31 automatically classifies the received fax image data 40 according to the analysis result of the information included in the two-dimensional barcode and automatically stores it in a corresponding folder. (S40).

For example, when a folder 50-1 called a tax invoice already exists in the fax server 31 and the two-dimensional barcode includes information indicating that it is an accounting document, for example, a tax invoice, the fax server 31 generates a two-dimensional barcode ( According to the result of the analysis of 41, among the already existing folders 50-1, 50-2, 50-3, 52-1, 52-2, 52-3, and 54, a folder called a tax invoice (50- The fax image data 40 is automatically stored in 1) (S60).

Thus, the display device 33 connected to the fax server 31 displays the stored fax image data. The display device 33 may be a display device of a computer connected to the fax server 31.

As shown in Fig. 3, the classification module 31-7 has a plurality of folders which already contain the received fax image data 40 according to the two-dimensional barcode analysis result of the two-dimensional barcode analysis module 31-3. Automatically save in any one of the folders (S60).

However, when the folder called income statement does not exist in the fax server 31 and the two-dimensional bar code 41 includes information indicating that it is an accounting document, for example, an income statement, the fax server 31 is connected to the two-dimensional bar code 41. According to the analysis result, a folder 50-2 having a new name called income statement is automatically generated and then the fax image data 40 is automatically stored in the created folder 50-2 (S50).

Thus, the display device 33 connected to the fax server 31 displays the stored fax image data. The display device 33 may be a display device of a computer connected to the fax server 31.

As shown in Fig. 3, the folder generation module 31-5 automatically generates a new folder according to the two-dimensional barcode analysis result of the two-dimensional barcode analysis module 31-3 and receives the received fax image in the generated folder. Save the data (S50). The fax image data automatically classified for each folder is stored in the memory 31-9 of the fax server 31.

5 shows a block diagram of a fax server including a memory and a microprocessor. Referring to FIG. 4, the fax server 31A implemented as another example of the fax server 31 of FIG. 2 includes a memory 110 and a microprocessor 120.

The memory 110, which may be implemented as a nonvolatile memory, stores a program for processing fax image data including a 2D barcode according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The microprocessor 120 may execute the program stored in the memory 110, and as the program is executed, the microprocessor 120 may include the two included in the fax image data received through the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The dimensional barcode is interpreted, and the fax image data is automatically classified and stored according to the analysis result.
