1 is a perspective view showing the connection of facsimiles for carrying out the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the transmitting facsimile 100 and the receiving facsimile 200 are connected to transmit / receive fax data through a communication network.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a facsimile for carrying out the present invention.

First, the controller 110 controls the operation of the facsimile 100 according to a system program for operating the facsimile 100 set in the memory 150. [

The memory 150 stores system programs for operating the facsimile machine 100, and contents related to transmission and reception of protocol data and character data.

An OPE (Operational Panel) 170 includes a plurality of keys to generate key data of the facsimile 100. When the key data is generated, the OPE 170 inputs the key data to the control unit 110, And a display device capable of displaying display data such as system information and the progress status of the display device.

The scanner 160 scans the document data and converts the scanned image data into digital image data, and provides the digital image data to the control unit 110.

Under the control of the control unit 110, the modem 120 modulates the output data of the control unit 110 into an analog form, outputs the modulated input signal, demodulates and outputs the analog input signal.

A network control unit (NCU) 130 is operated under the control of the control unit 110 to form a call loop of a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) (composed of Ring and Tip) And interfacing signals of the modem 120 and the public telephone network.

The printer 140 receives a print signal from the control unit 110 and prints the print data stored in the memory 150. [

In accordance with the present invention, the area display device 180 detects and reads the country code and area code from the dialing number input for transmitting the facsimile data, and displays the code.

3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a local display device for carrying out the present invention.

The number information detecting unit 185 detects the country code and the area code from the receiving side number input for transmitting the facsimile data.

The local information database 183 stores data on the country name and area name corresponding to the country code and area code detected by the number information detector 185. [

The area information storage unit 184 stores the number of the receiving side, the number of pages of the fax data, and the transmission state inputted by the user using the number generation key 173 of the panel unit 170. According to the present invention, And information on the country name and area name of the receiving side read out using the local information database 183 is stored.

The area information display unit 182 detects the country code and the area code from the receiving side number input by using the number generating key 173 of the panel unit 170 and then displays the receiving side number and the area information database 183 ), The country name and area name corresponding to the country code and area code of the receiving side, the number of pages of the fax data, and the transmission status are displayed.

The local information control unit 181 stores information on the receiving side number stored in the local information storage unit 184, the number of pages of the facsimile data, the transmission status, and the country name and area name of the receiving side on the local information display unit 182 And detects the country code and the area code from the reception side numbers inputted by the user and reads out the presence or absence of the corresponding country name and area name in the local information database 183 and outputs it to the local information storage unit 184 And generates a control signal to be stored.

Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for displaying the facsimile data receiving side of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 1 to 5B.

First, the control unit 110 of the transmitting facsimile 100 determines whether a number on the receiving side for receiving the fax data is input by using the number generating key 173 provided in the panel unit 170 (step S10 ).

If the number of the receiving side is input, the number information detector 185 of the area display device 180 detects the country code and the area code from the received number of the receiving side (step S20).

The local information control unit 181 reads the values of the detected country code and area code and the country name and area code matching the country code and area code stored in the local information database 183 of the local display device 180 The receiving side number, the transmission time of the facsimile data, the number of pages, and the transmission result in the local information storage unit 184 (S30).

Here, the local information database 183 has the configuration shown in Table 1 below.

In addition, the area information storage unit 184 is a transmission list (transmission list) for recording the contents of the transmission of the fax data.

(Step S40). In step S40, it is determined whether to output the stored number, the transmission time of the fax data, the number of pages, and the transmission result to the printer 140.

Here, it is possible to determine whether to output the information by determining whether the transmission list output 172 is input, as shown in FIG. 5B.

If the transmission list output 172 is input, the local information control unit 181 transmits the information stored in the local information storage unit 184 to the printer 140 and outputs the information (Step S50).

It is further determined whether information stored in the local information storage unit 184 is to be displayed (operation S60).

The determination as to whether to display the information is made by determining whether the transmission list display 171 has been input, as shown in FIG. 5A.

When the transmission list display 171 is input, the local information control unit 181 generates a control signal for displaying the information stored in the local information storage unit 184 to the local information display unit 182, and displays the generated control signal to the user : S70).
