Abstract

After the user sets a specific code on the fax, selects the Memory Receive feature so that the fax data received by the fax is received in memory, and sets it to the Auto Receive mode, a call path is formed and the specific code set up is entered to If a transmission is required, it switches to a polling function that transmits the fax data to the sender to transmit the fax's memory received fax data.

Therefore, the fax machine can receive the received fax data in memory and can receive the fax document remotely even if the user cannot receive the fax document directly due to the absence of the user. When the user wants to receive the fax data again through the public telephone network, it is possible to manage the received fax data of the fax used at all times.

Description

How to Receive Fax Data

The present invention relates to a method for receiving fax data. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for receiving fax data, and more particularly, to receive and store fax data received from a facsimile in memory, and then select a code set at a remote location. The present invention relates to a method of receiving fax data by transmitting a user data to allow a user to receive a received fax data again.

In general, a facsimile is a terminal for data communication such as a document or an image, and is an office automation device in which fax data is transmitted or received using a public telephone network. The facsimile machine has various functions added to the fax data for the convenience of the user. Among these functions, polling is a function that requires a fax to receive an original to request a call and send the original to the sender. The number of the facsimile that the original party is trying to receive the original from is sent. Dial to allow the original to be received. In order to use the polling function, the sender and the receiver using the polling function set the polling function code in advance before use, and after searching the codes set in the sender and the receiver, transmission of the fax data is performed. The polling function can be performed when the sender inserts an original and sets a polling code between mutual faxes to which fax data will be transmitted / received.

However, according to the conventional method of receiving fax data in the conventional facsimile as described above, the following problem occurs.

(1) If the user is absent for a long time, the user cannot receive the contents received by the fax.

(2) The polling function inserts the original at the sending side and sets the polling code so that the receiving side can enter the preset code and then receive the original, but sends the received fax data back to the sending side's fax. You can't.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to poll a fax data received in a facsimile, and to request a polling function if a fax data received in a facsimile is requested from a remote location other than the fax. The present invention provides a method of receiving fax data that allows a user to re-receive fax data stored in a memory of a facsimile used.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above objects is a method of receiving remotely received memory received fax data in a facsimile comprising a memory capable of memory reception: a setting step of setting a specific code; A setting step of setting to an automatic receiving mode state; A first transmission step of transmitting a fax data stored in the memory to a transmission side in which a communication path is formed after a communication path is formed and the set specific code is input; A reception step of receiving a fax data in memory by maintaining the set automatic reception mode when a predetermined specific code is not input; And when the transmission is completed, the fax data receiving method comprising the step of deleting the transmitted fax data in the memory.

Optionally, if there is no fax data stored in the memory, the method may further include a second transmission step of transmitting a message indicating that there is no stored fax data to the transmitting side where the communication path is formed.

Hereinafter, a method of receiving fax data according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing a facsimile according to the present invention.

The facsimile is a control unit (1) that controls the facsimile overall, a scanner (2) for reading the document to send the fax data or copy the document to the receiving side, and prints the data read or received from the scanner (2) Operating the facsimile under the control of the printer 3, a control panel 1, an operation panel 4 having a display window for displaying the communication status of the facsimile and a key matrix for performing input or various functions of the receiving side. A memory 5 for storing program data or data transmitted / received through a public telephone network, a modem 6 for modulating the data to be transmitted into an analog signal and demodulating the received signal into digital data, and a modem ( 6) consists of a Line Interface Unit (LIU) 7 which interfaces with a public telephone network to form a communication path for transmitting signals transmitted from the network.

When an original is inserted, the scanner 2 reads it out and immediately transfers the original or stores it in the memory 5 according to a user's selection by the operation panel 4, and then transmits data by memory transmission. In addition, the fax data received from the sender is received by the memory and then printed by the printer 3 or immediately by the printer 3. The performance of all these operations is controlled by the controller 1. At this time, in the facsimile data communication, the facsimile data to be transmitted is modulated / demodulated by the modem 6, outputted or inputted to the LIU 7, and communicated via a public telephone network.

Various functions of the facsimile can be performed by selecting a combination of key matrices of the operation panel 4. Here, the setting of the specific code according to the present invention is also set by the key matrix.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of receiving fax data that allows memory received by a facsimile to be re-received at another remote location.

The user sets a specific code in advance in the facsimile (S1), selects a memory reception function for receiving the received fax data into the facsimile's memory 5, and sets the automatic reception mode (S2). Thereafter, the facsimile maintains the standby state for receiving the fax data (S3). If a call is requested from the public telephone network and a call path is formed (S4), the facsimile forms a call path and a specific code preset from the sender is added. It is determined whether it is received (S5). When a specific code set is received, it is determined whether there is stored fax data in the memory 5 (S6), and if there is stored fax data, the device switches to the polling function (S7) and transmits the stored fax data to the sender having the call path. (S8). It is determined whether the transmission is completed (S9), after all the stored fax data is transmitted, the transmitted fax data is deleted from the memory 5 (S10), and ends. If there is no stored fax data, a message for displaying it is transmitted (S11), and the process ends. In step S5, if the set specific code is not received, the received fax data is received and stored in memory according to the set fax automatic reception mode state (S12), and when the reception is completed (S13), the process ends.

Therefore, if the user wants to receive the fax data received in the fax and stored in the memory remotely, set a specific code in advance for the fax you are using, select the memory reception function, and then set the fax to the auto receive mode to subsequently receive the fax. When data is received in memory and a specific code is received from a remote site, the fax data stored in the memory is transmitted to the sender having the communication path, so that the user can receive the fax data received by the fax used in any area. .

As a result, the method of receiving fax data at a remote location according to the present invention has the following advantages.

(1) By setting a specific code in advance for the fax you are using, you can receive the fax data received remotely using the fax polling function at a remote location, and you will not be able to receive fax documents directly due to absence. There is no limited area available.

(2) If a specific code to be re-received is set, the fax data can be re-received through the public telephone network when the user desires, so that the received fax data can be managed even at a remote place.
