However, if the registration mode is set, the process proceeds to step 102 and the central processing unit 10 receives and records a voice message for inputting a fax information selection code into the memory 12. Voicemail for example, 000. If you would like to receive fax information, the company introduction is 1 and the product introduction is 2, which is composed of the same contents and recorded using a microphone (not shown). When the voice message is recorded, the process proceeds to step 104 and receives the information service selection code from the OPE 14 and stores it in the memory 12 under the control of the central processing unit 10. Thereafter, in step 105, the central processing unit 10 scans a document for use as service information from the scanner 16 and checks whether the scanned document is input. If the scanned document is not input, the process proceeds to step 106. In step 106, the CPU 10 checks whether the set time has elapsed, and if the set time has not elapsed, returns to step 105 and ends the program if the set time has elapsed. When the scanned document is input, the processor 10 proceeds to step 107 and the central processing unit 10 stores the scanned document in the memory 12. A plurality of service information is registered in the memory 12 in the above manner. In one embodiment of the present invention, the voice message is recorded and then the scanned fax information is registered, but the voice message is registered by a method commonly used in an automatic answering device, and the information is selected when the registration mode setting key is input. You can also enter the code to register the scanned fax information. Therefore, the voice message and the fax information for the service can be registered separately.

When the service information is registered and there is a call from the outside, the operation of transmitting and registering the registered fax information will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3. In step 201, the central processing unit 10 before the signal detection is performed. Continue to step 202 while maintaining the standby state. In step 202, the central processing unit 10 checks whether a ring signal is detected. If no ring signal is detected, the CPU 10 returns to step 201 to maintain a standby state, and if a ring signal is detected, proceeds to step 203. In step 203, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the fax information service function is set by the fax information setting key provided in the OPE 14, and if the fax information service function is not set, the process proceeds to step 209 to process a general fax document. Receive or perform another setting function, and if the fax information service function is set to step 204. In step 204, the central processing unit 10 controls the LIU 20 to connect a call path, and controls the voice processing unit 24 to synthesize a voice message stored in the memory 12 and output the voice message to the modem 18. To control. The modem 18 converts the digital voice message into an analog signal and outputs it to the LIU 20. The response message authorized to the LIU 20 is sent out through the telephone line. The response message includes a message for inputting an information service selection code. For example hello. 000. If you would like to be guided by fax, the company introduction 1 and product introduction 2 will be sent an automatic response message. The auto-response message is sent in step 205. In step 205, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the information service selection code is detected, and if the information service selection code is not detected, proceeds to step 208. In step 208, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the set time has elapsed, and if the set time has not elapsed, returns to step 205. If the set time has elapsed, the service function ends. If the information service selection code is detected in step 205, the process proceeds to step 206, and the CPU 10 checks whether the detected information service selection code is a valid signal. If the information service selection code is not valid, the service function is terminated. If the information service selection code is not valid, the process proceeds to step 207. In step 207, the central processing unit 10 reads out the corresponding service information stored in the memory 12 and transmits it to the telephone line through the modem 18 and LIU (20).

Referring to the flow of FIG. 4, the user services the registered fax information to the subscriber who wants the information service. First, in step 301, the central processing unit 10 transmits the fax from the OPE 14 in the fax transmission mode. If the fax transmission mode is set, the process proceeds to step 303. If the fax transmission mode is not set, the process returns to step 301 to maintain the standby state. In step 303, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the fax information service function is set by the fax information setting key provided in the OPE 14, and if the fax information service function is not set, proceeds to step 304. If the fax information service function is set, the process proceeds to step 305. In step 305, the central processing unit 10 checks whether an information selection code is detected from the OPE 14, and proceeds to step 306 if the information selection code is not detected. In step 306, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the set time has elapsed, and if the set time has not elapsed, returns to step 305, and if the set time has elapsed, ends the fax information service function. If the information selection code is detected in step 305, the process proceeds to step 307, and the CPU 10 checks whether the detected information selection code is a valid signal. If the information selection code is not valid, the process returns to step 305. If the information selection code is valid, the process proceeds to step 308. In step 308, the CPU 10 checks whether the subscriber's fax number is dialed and proceeds to step 309. For example, the dialing may be performed by a user manually dialing using a key operation unit of the OPE 14 or automatically registering a receiving side facsimile in a facsimile memory and automatically dialing the information selection code. In step 309, the central processing unit 10 reads out the corresponding fax information stored in the memory 12 and transmits it to the telephone line through the modem 18 and the LIU 20. In another embodiment of the present invention described above, when the user does not know the fax information selection code for information service, the user can print and view the fax information list LIST so that the user can print the fax information list stored in the memory 12.
