How to register and speed dial numbers on a fax machine.

The present invention relates to a speed dial method in a facsimile apparatus, and more particularly, to a method for automatically dialing a communication subscriber having a plurality of communication terminal devices with a single speed number.

In recent years, with the development of technology, one communication subscriber has a communication terminal device having a different number, and a pager and a telephone have become a necessity of modern people. Here, the subscriber means a person who has joined the public telecommunication network for the purpose of communicating or making a call to each other through wire or wireless. In this situation, when one person has a plurality of communication terminal devices, the user memorizes them all or stores them in a communication terminal device having a speed dial function. Herein, communication terminals refer to all communication devices used for the purpose of communicating or making a call to each other through a public network.

In general, a communication terminal apparatus having a speed dial function stores a number to be called by corresponding one number to one communication terminal apparatus. This is shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1

Therefore, when a speed dial number is registered using this method, as shown in Table 1, if a person named ABC has two communication terminal devices, a telephone number and a wireless phone number, two speed dial numbers (01, 04) had to add and use. In addition, when one person has several communication terminal devices, a number of communication subscribers having multiple terminal devices such as a telephone, a pager, a cordless phone, and a facsimile are increasing. Therefore, when one communication subscriber has a plurality of communication terminal devices, a function for distinguishing, storing and automatically dialing all communication terminal devices of one communication subscriber in response to one short number is required. In addition, there is a demand for a speed dial method corresponding to a communication terminal device according to a dial method corresponding to each communication terminal device.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for calling a subscriber having a plurality of communication terminal devices using one speed dial number.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for registering a number of communication terminals corresponding to a plurality of communication terminal devices of a subscriber in a registration mode and selecting and calling a plurality of communication terminal devices commonly corresponding to a speed dial number in an outgoing mode. Is in.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a speed dial number registration and speed dial method of a fax machine having a display unit and a speed dial function. Registering and sequentially registering the subscriber's communication terminal device numbers; displaying communication terminal devices corresponding to the speed dial number entered in the calling mode on the display unit and selecting the displayed communication terminal device to select the selected communication terminal device.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a general configuration diagram of a facsimile device. The control unit 111 controls the fax transmission mode, reception mode, copy mode, and overall operation of the speed dial according to the present invention. Under the control of the control unit 111, a LIU (Line Interface Unit) 112 forms a transmission / reception path of a telephone line (Tip terminal and Ring terminal) and a modem. Under the control of the control unit 111, the modem 113 modulates and transmits the image data output from the image processing unit 119 in accordance with the fax standard. In addition, the modem demodulates the encoded image data input through the transmission line in the reception mode into its original form so that the image processing unit 119 can process the encoded image data. The tone detector 114 detects a CED tone, a busy tone, a dial tone, or a specific tone generated during a wireless call generated in a fax transmission / reception mode. The sensor unit 115 detects the presence of a document and the presence of print paper, and outputs the detected state to the control unit 111. The printer 116 receives image data output from the image processing unit 119 and performs printing on a print sheet under the control of the control unit 111. The scanner 117 scans and encodes an image of the original by moving the input original, and outputs the image to the controller 111. The memory 118 may be divided into a program memory (not shown) and a data memory (not shown). The program memory stores a program according to the present invention and other programs, and temporarily stores data generated during program execution in the data memory. In addition, a speed dial number and the like related to the present invention are also stored. The image processing unit 119 performs a function of encoding the image read by the scanner 117 to be transmitted under the control of the control unit 111 or converting data transmitted from the modem into image data. The OPE (Operating Pannel) 120 includes a key input unit 121 and a display unit 122. The key input unit 121 generates a signal of a key pressed by the user to designate each mode and perform an operation of the designated mode, and outputs the signal to the controller 111. The display unit 122 may display an operation state of the system or display data generated when each mode is performed under the control of the control unit 111.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a shortcut number registration process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given with reference to FIG. 2.

In step 31, the controller 111 checks whether a signal applied from the key input unit 121 is a shortcut number registration. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 32 if it is requested to register a shortcut number, and proceeds to step 47 to perform the corresponding function and ends. The controller 111 displays a message for inputting a shortcut number to be registered in step 32 on the display unit 122 and checks whether a shortcut number has been input from the key input unit 121. If no test result is entered, proceed to step 33, and if not, repeat step 32. In step 33, the controller 111 reads out data corresponding to the input shortcut number from the memory 118 and checks whether a registered shortcut number is already registered. If the test result is a registered number, proceed to step 34; otherwise, proceed to step 36. The control unit 111 displays a message on the display unit 122 asking whether to modify the contents of the communication terminal registered in step 34. In addition, the control unit 111 inspects a signal input from the key input unit 121. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 35 if the test result correction request signal, or proceeds to step 32. In step 35, the control unit 111 displays the name of the communication subscriber corresponding to the selected speed dial number on the display unit 122 and checks whether or not to modify it. If there is a request for correction of the name, the process proceeds to step 36; The control unit 111 reads the memory corresponding to the selected shortcut number in step 36 to check the data, and if there is a name stored in the read data, switches to the correction mode, and if not, switches to the input mode. Here, the name modification and input process of step 36 will be described as an example. In the case of inputting a name, a message such as “Please enter a name” is displayed on the display unit 122. In this case, the message is output in Korean or English. Register the name data by entering the name where the cursor is located. In addition, when the name is modified, the name of the registered subscriber is displayed and the cursor is moved by using the up, down, left, right keys (↑, ↓, ←, →), and the name of the place where the cursor is located is corrected by re-entering. Method can be used. At this time, when there is no correction of the name or when the termination of the correction or the input of the name is terminated, the modification or the input operation of the name may be terminated by inputting a key corresponding to the name input termination. The controller 111 performs step 36 and proceeds to step 37 when an input end key is input.

The control unit 111 displays the type of communication terminal on the display unit 122 in step 37. If the communication terminal is selected according to the signal applied from the key input unit 121, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 38. In step 38, the controller 111 checks whether the selected terminal is a pre-registered terminal. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 40 when the test result is a registered terminal, and proceeds to step 39 when the terminal is not a registered terminal. The control unit 111 receives the call number of the communication terminal selected in step 39, and if the signal of the input end key is applied from the key input unit 121 proceeds to step 44. In step 40, the controller 111 displays a message on the display unit 122 asking whether to correct the previously registered data and checks the signal applied from the key input unit 121. If the data modification request signal is applied, the controller 111 proceeds to step 41, or proceeds to step 42. The control unit 111 displays a message previously registered in step 41 on the display unit 122. In this case, the data modification process is performed in the same manner as the above-described process 36, and if the end key is input, the process proceeds to process 44. The control unit 111 displays on the display unit 122 whether to delete previously registered data in step 42 and checks the signal applied from the key input unit 121. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 43 if the test result data deletion request signal, and proceeds to step 37. The controller 111 deletes the data stored in the memory 118 in step 43 and proceeds to step 44.

In step 44, the controller 111 displays a message on the display unit 122 asking whether the registration of the terminals corresponding to the selected shortcut number is completed and checks the signal of the key input unit 121. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 45 if the registration of the test result is completed, and proceeds to step 37 if the registration is not completed. Therefore, the call number of another communication terminal device can be continuously registered to one speed dial number. The controller 111 stores the registered data in the memory 118 in step 45 and proceeds to step 46. In step 46, the control unit 111 displays a message asking whether to register another shortcut number on the display unit 122 and checks the input of the key input unit 121. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 32 if the other shortcut number registration request is a result of the test, or ends. The table of data stored through the above process may be represented as shown in Table 2 below. Table 2 is called a subscriber communication device table.

TABLE 2

Therefore, all one communication terminal can be stored and used in one shortcut number. Here, the communication terminal device is an example of a telephone, a fax, a pager, or a wireless telephone, and may store other communication terminals, and further divide the memory to be arbitrarily stored by a user. For example, when the subscriber of the communication called Kim Yu-shin in the short number 03 has a phone number other than the number registered in the subscriber communication device table, the phone number corresponding to the computer may be further stored by further dividing the memory. In addition, when connecting and using another communication terminal device such as a computer it may be further provided in the subscriber communication device table.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a speed dial process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the speed dialing process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

The control unit 111 checks the signal applied from the key fitting unit 121 in step 51. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 53 if the test result shortened dialing request signal, and proceeds to step 52 to perform the corresponding function and ends. Here, speed dialing refers to a series of operations for automatically calling a number stored as an input of a speed dial key and an input of a registered speed dial number and performing a corresponding process. The controller 111 displays a message for inputting a shortcut number on the display unit 122 in step 53 and checks whether a shortcut number is selected from the key input unit 121. The controller 111 proceeds to step 54 if the shortcut number is selected, and repeats step 53 if it is not selected. In step 54, the controller 111 checks whether the shortcut number selected in step 53 is a pre-registered shortcut number. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 55 if the inspection result is a previously registered shortcut number and ends. In step 55, the controller 111 checks whether there is one communication terminal registered in the selected speed dial number. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 58 if there is one communication terminal registered as a result of the test, and proceeds to step 56 if it is not one. The control unit 111 displays the type of communication terminal registered in the display unit 122 in step 56. In step 57, the controller 111 determines whether the type selection signal of the terminal displayed in step 56 is input from the key input unit 121. If the type of the terminal is selected as a result of the test, the controller 111 proceeds to step 58 and, if not selected, proceeds to step 56.

In step 58, the controller 111 checks whether the selected terminal is a pager. The controller 111 proceeds to step 63 if the test result is a pager, or proceeds to step 59. In step 63, the control unit 111 calls the wireless pager, transmits the local number, and ends. Here, the calling operation of the pager is well known and the description is omitted in the present invention. The controller 111 checks whether the selected communication terminal is a facsimile device. The control unit 111 proceeds to step 62 in the case of the facsimile apparatus of the test result, or proceeds to step 60. The control unit 111 operates in the facsimile transmission mode in step 62 and ends. Here, the facsimile transmission operation is well known and the description is omitted in the present invention. The control unit 111 displays the stored number of the communication terminal selected in step 60 on the display unit 122, dials, and proceeds to step 61. The controller 111 performs a process according to the call mode execution in step 61 and ends. Through the above-described process, it is possible to call and dial a telephone, facsimile, pager, or wireless telephone. In addition, other communication terminal devices can be implemented in addition to the above-described process.

Through the above-described process, when one communication subscriber has a plurality of communication terminal devices having different dialing processes, all of the numbers of the communication terminal devices having one person in one shortcut number can be stored. Therefore, when one communication subscriber has a plurality of communication terminal devices, it is not necessary to memorize all the numbers of the communication terminal devices.
