The present invention relates to a remote control method for inspecting the presence of a failure of a relative facsimile installed at a remote location in a facsimile.

In general, a FACSIMILE scans an original document to be transmitted, decomposes it into pixels, modulates the decomposed pixel into an electric signal, and transmits the demodulated pixel to an electric signal. Refers to a device that prints on recording paper in combination.

As information transmission increases, the transmission of image information using a facsimile has increased, thereby increasing the sales volume of the facsimile. Therefore, as the amount of facsimile increases, the facsimile of a faulty facsimile increases. As a result, the demand for after service is gradually increased. The cost and time according to the after-sales service will also increase.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a remote control method that can reduce the cost and time loss of the after-sales service by checking the failure of the relative fax installed in the remote in the fax.

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

Accordingly, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1-3.

2 is a configuration of a general facsimile, detailed description of the operation will be omitted.

2 is performed by the CPU 200 of FIG. 1 and will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

The CPU 200 sets the work time check flag assigned to some of the registers in the register when the key data for the work start time is input from the keyboard 201, and stores the data corresponding to the received work start time. ). (Step 100)

After storing the working time data in the RAM 203 in step 100, the CPU 200 stores the subscriber number of the relative fax received from the keyboard 201 in the RAM 203 in step 101, and then sequentially in step 102. The key date of the work command received from the keyboard 201 is analyzed, and the state of the relative fax or the data storage in the memory of the relative fax or the data read command from the memory of the relative fax are checked. In the case of the state checking instruction of the relative facsimile in step 102, the CPU 200 sets the relative facsimile state checking mode by setting the state checking flag of the relative facsimile allocated to the register in the self in step 103 and the keyboard 201. The inspection parameters for the peripheral devices of the relative fax which are drawn from are stored in the RAM 203.

On the other hand, if it is a command to store data in the memory of the relative fax in step 102, the CPU 200 sets the data remote storage mode by setting a data remote storage flag assigned to a register in the 104 in step 104, while the keyboard ( The RAM 203 stores the address of the storage area in memory within the relative fax to be inserted through 201 and the data to be stored.

In addition, in step 102, when the command to read data stored in the memory of the relative facsimile is set, the CPU 200 sets a data remote read mode by setting a data remote read flag assigned to a register within the CPU. On the other hand, the RAM 203 stores the address of the storage area and the number of data to be read out on the memory in the relative fax machine which is input through the keyboard 201. After performing step 103, step 104, or step 105, the CPU 200 checks the time of the real-time counter embedded in the CPU at a predetermined period in step 106 to determine whether the work start time stored in the RAM 203 is reached. do.

When the operation start time comes in step 106, the CPU 200 reads the subscriber number for the relative fax set up on the RAM 203 in step 107 and supplies it to the modem 208 to supply the modem 208. It generates a complex frequency for the subscriber number and transmits it to the public telephone communication network through the line interface 207 to call the relative fax. After calling the relative facsimile in step 107, the CPU 200 transmits a digital identification signal transmitted from the relative facsimile through a public telephone communication network and a line interface 207 and a modem 208 in step 108. (Referred to below as DIS signal).

After performing step 108, the CPU 200 analyzes the DIS signal received in step 109 and checks whether the relative fax is an inspection function facsimile. Here, the inspection function facsimile means that the relative facsimile is built in the inspection program and is equipped with all peripheral devices and data reading capability.

If the relative facsimile is the inspection function facsimile in step 109, the CPU 200 reads out inspection request data previously stored in the RAM 203 in step 110 to establish a public telephone communication network with the modem 208 and the line interface 207. Send to relative fax via

After transmitting the test request data in step 110, the CPU 200 receives data about the test result transmitted from the relative fax through the public telephone communication network and the line interface 207 and the modem 208 in step 111. To the RAM 203.

In addition, in step 110, the inspection request data may vary depending on the work mode. First, in the case of the relative fax state test mode, the test request data becomes the test parameter, and in the data remote storage mode, the test request data becomes the address of the storage area and the data to be stored in the memory in the relative fax. In the mode, the test request data is the address of the storage area of the memory in the relative fax.

In addition, the data about the test result corresponds to the test request data for each work mode, and in the case of the relative fax state test mode, the data is about the operation state of the peripheral devices. In the data remote read mode, the data is stored at the corresponding address. The test request data and the test result data are normally transmitted to a nonstandard facilities comand (NFSC).

After performing step 111, the CPU 200 transmits the line recovery data to the relative fax through the modem 208, the line interface 207, and the public telephone communication network in step 112. In operation 113, the data of the test result stored in the RAM 203 is read, printed on the recording paper through the signal signal processing unit 206 and the printer 205, and then the operation is terminated.

The inspection result printed in step 113 is shown in FIGS. 3a-c when the print format is displayed for each mode.

FIG. 3A is a test result in a state test mode of a relative fax, FIG. 3B is a test result in a data remote storage mode, and FIG. 3C is a test result in a data remote read mode.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage of inspecting the operating state and the read state of the memory of the peripheral device of the remotely installed relative fax, and also the manpower that the after-service man (Man) is circulating directly and must check. There is an advantage that can reduce the consumption of time.
