How to Receive the Number of Receptions When You Receive a Fax Message

The present invention relates to a method of storing the number of receptions when receiving a fax message applied to the hardware and software of a facsimile. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of storing a fax message from a designated sender, that is, a telephone number previously input to a fax. The present invention relates to a method of storing a number of receptions when a fax message is received so that a user can periodically check the number of times received and received.

A general facsimile system is a system for transmitting an image, and a system in which a transmitter scans an image, the receiving side receives the image, reconstructs the image, and outputs it on a paper, or automatically sends and receives a document on a normal telephone line.

The existing facsimile receives the basic information of the sender, such as the sender's identification information and telephone number, which is transmitted from the sender when receiving the fax message, and receives the received data in TTI (Transnission Terminal Identification) format on the top of the received document. This function delivers documents to users by outputting them together or outputting them in a separate report format or received report format.

In addition, the function of simply transmitting the identification information of the sender to the receiving user is to store the recognition information of the sending party in the order of received documents in the storage device and output it to the paper in the designated report format when the specified number of reception times is exceeded. It is.

However, such a conventional facsimile machine outputs only the information related to the document received from the sender on a paper in a specific format in a maze-by-period cycle or simply displays the primary information to the user by displaying it on an operating panel. As a function, the user was inconvenient not to check the document received from the sender when the user wanted it.

The present invention has been made to solve the inconvenience of the user as described above, the purpose of which is to separately manage the identification information when the document is received from the sender that matches the information conditions input by the user to the sender side previously input to the fax By outputting the desired information (number of receptions) according to the telephone number of the user, the user memorizes the information related to the sender when the received document related to the sender specified by the user is received and the user checks the received information from time to time or periodically. The present invention provides a method of storing the number of receptions when receiving a fax message.

The sensor 600 checks the status, and the line interface device 700 and the line interface device form a call between the public telephone network and the modem. Demodulates the analog signal to a digital signal and consists of a modem 800 for modulating the digital signal provided from said microprocessor into an analog signal.

2 is a flowchart according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, according to a selection menu, a user inputs a telephone number of a sender who wants to confirm that a document has been received upon receiving a document; If the telephone number of the sender is input, a count period input step (S20) for inputting an execution period to count according to the selection menu, and after performing the count function, the user selects an output format for outputting the received number of receptions according to the selection menu. A format input step (S30) for input, a fax reception mode judging step (S40) for determining whether the fax is in the fax reception mode if the format has been input by the user, and returning if not in the fax reception mode, and before printing in the fax reception mode. A comparison step (S50) of comparing the identification information transmitted from the transmitting side with the previously input telephone number, and if the identification information and the telephone number do not match. Return to step S80 and if the recognition information and the phone number match, the count value increasing step (S60) to increase the number of receptions by counting the number of receptions, and the number of receptions to print the number of receptions counted according to the print selection after the count value is increased. A print step (S70) and a document output step (S80) for outputting the received fax document as a print.

Referring to the effects of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, according to the selection menu designed by the manufacturer of the facsimile, the user inputs the telephone number of the sender to the microprocessor 100 to confirm that the document is received upon receiving the document.

Here, the telephone number input to the microprocessor 100 is a telephone number which becomes a comparison judgment standard for increasing the number of receptions each time a document is received from the inputted transmitter.

Therefore, the microprocessor 100 stores the telephone number input thereto in the memory 200.

If the user does not enter the telephone number of the sender in this state, the fax outputs only the received fax document on a sheet without performing a function.

On the other hand, if the sender's phone number is entered according to the selection menu, the user increases the number of times that the document has been received from the designated sender when the fax receives the document from the phone number and stores the received number for a specific period of time. The execution period to be counted to output the result in the designated output format is input (S20).

Here, the period for performing the count function may be set as a default by the facsimile manufacturer or may be fixed by the facsimile manufacturer.

Therefore, when the reception information is input by the user, the user selects and inputs an output format to output the received reception frequency according to the selection menu (S30).

At this time, the selectable output format can be divided into A, B, C.

Among them, A is an output format that outputs an increased number of receptions at the top or bottom of the document each time a document is received at a specified telephone number, and B is a report format that specifies the number of receptions in the current status when the user selects a particular function menu on the selection menu. There is an output format for outputting C and an output format for outputting the number of receptions in a specific report format automatically after a set period of time.

Such output formats (A), (B), and (C) include all methods of outputting the number of receptions on a sheet or by using a display element such as a display unit (LCD) of the operating panel 300.

If the information (number of receptions) is entered by the user or fixed by software or hardware by the fax manufacturer, the fax receives the document received in the fax reception mode (S40) and, if there is a reception mode, transmits it from the sender before printing. Compare the received recognition information with the previously inputted phone number (S50) and if the comparison information data does not match, return to step S80, and if the recognition information data and the phone number is matched, the received number is counted and the counted value is increased. After (S60), the number of reception counted by the output format is output. (S70)

At this time, after the reception of the document being received in the format is completed, the number of reception is displayed on the paper or the display unit (LCD), and thus the number of reception is automatically output to the paper or print at the time when the set period elapses (S80).

At the same time, after the number of receptions is output, the microprocessor 100 clears the number of receptions to zero and starts counting up again from the beginning.

The present invention operated as described above is a sender desired by the user in order to reinforce the function that the microprocessor stores the recognition information transmitted from the sender when the fax receives a document in a memory and then outputs it in a specific output report format. In addition, by counting the number of receptions received from the sender for a user-specified period of time, the user is informed of the counted information (number of receptions) so that the user can check the information. There is an advantage to know.
