Definitions

  • Fax machines and fax modems currently available on the market may operate at higher transmission speeds than those previously available. This higher speed may only be utilised if both fax machines involved in a communication session have the higher speed capability. However most of the existing stock of fax machines worldwide do not yet have this capability.

  • a modem device for connection with a facsimile transceiver and a computer and with a telephone network, said modem device having control means for controlling data therebetween, said control means including microprocessor means responsive to "AT" commands from said computer to place said modem device into one of two possible modes of operation:-
  • Figure 6 is a block schematic showing operation in a first mode or computer mode.
  • Figure 7 is a block schematic showing operation in a second mode or facsimile mode.
  • PC mode all communications with the device 103 involve a modem 119 component in connection with the PC 102 via the serial port or equivalent data bus connection.
  • the line selection switch 114 connects the telephone connection of the fax 101 to the modem 119 input.
  • the PC 102 is isolated from the PSTN telephone line and all communication involves the fax machine 101.
  • the line selection switch 114 normally connects the fax machine's telephone connection to the external telephone line PSTN.
  • the fax machine 101 is used normally in this mode. unlike prior art devices a third operating mode is not required in order to effect local transfers between the fax machine 101 and the PC 102.
  • the line selection switch 114 In fax machine mode the line selection switch 114 normally connects the fax machine mode to the external PSTN line connection to enable the fax machine to send and receive calls. If the PC places a call in fax machine mode, a local transfer (print) is assumed. In this case the line selection switch 114 will temporarily connect the line interface 117 to the fax machine, for the duration of the call.
  • reception may be initiated by the fax machine by the user pressing the start button on the fax machine.
  • the device 103 is provided with a ring generator (not shown in fig.l), this may be used to activate the fax machine 101 for reception of a local transmission without the need to press the start button on the fax machine 101.
  • the device 103 thus utilises the scanning and printing capabilities of the fax machine 101, in connection to the PC 102, without the provision of a separate mode for this purpose.
  • the switch 114 is used to firstly connect the fax machine to the modem input line interface 117. After the fax machine answers the ring signal, under the control of the microprocessor 110, the fax machine is switched via switch 114 to connect directly to the external PSTN line. In this case signals do not pass through the modem as in prior art devices. In embodiments of the invention which do not contain a ring generate circuit, it is still possible to automatically route a fax call to the fax machine 101, without the need for operator intervention, i.e. manually receiving the call and pressing the start button. This may be achieved in the following manner.
  • the ring signal from the telephone exchange due to an incoming call will be passed directly to the fax machine 101 via switch 114.
  • the fax machine 101 answers the call, it will go to receive mode answering procedure for approximately 30 seconds.
  • the device 103 will monitor the external line PSTN, for the fax calling tone. If the fax calling tone is detected, the call to the fax machine 101 will be allowed to proceed. If the fax calling tone is not detected, the device 103 will hold the call, terminate the connection to the fax machine 101 via switch 114 and assume the call is a data call.
  • the device 103 will then issue a ring indicate condition by an AT command 102 to the PC 102, and pass the call to the PC 102 for reception by the PC 102 communication software.
  • the local line loop detector 108 is provided to determine when the local fax machine is off hook.
  • External line ring detector 116 detects an incoming call and line loop detector 120 detects when the external line is off hook.
  • FIG. 1 The operation of another embodiment of the present invention which provides for an enhanced mode of operation may be described with reference to Figure 2.
  • the present embodiment differs from the prior art in the function and purpose of some of the components.
  • the physical configuration of the device 103 differs from that of the prior art.
  • This device preferably contains two modem components 209/219, as well as preferably containing a user interface 213 and a display 212. These latter components will provide a means of manual initiation of remote transmission, and of monitoring call progress.
  • the time at which the remote call is placed will be delayed for as long as possible, in order to minimise remote call duration.
  • This remote call placement procedure will commence either when the local transmission is complete, or when system memory available is approaching capacity, or when the call is initiated via the user interface.
  • the user may select that remote dialling automatically commence after any given amount of information has been pre-loaded into the system memory 211.
  • the delayed dialling performed by the device 203 will automatically replicate the number dialled by the fax machine, or may be operated manually.
  • the user display of the device may inform the user of the current status of operations, such as the phone number of a pending transmission, and the number of pages.
  • the device may optionally transmit journal information back to the fax machine in the form of a special fax transmission to indicate the success or failure of an operation. If during transmission, the amount of fax data information in the system memory 211 falls below a required minimum the device 203 will re-negotiate the transmission speed with the remote fax machine, so that the transmission speed is the same as the local transmission speed, thus averting a memory underflow condition.

  • the operation of the call acceleration function of device 203 in terms of reception will now be described. In this case, the operation of the device is depicted in Figure 4.
  • the device 203 will initiate the local call procedure at the same time as initiating procedures for the incoming remote fax. In this case the device 203 will receive data at the highest speed possible, storing data in system memory, while relaying the information at a lower speed to the local fax machine 201. This procedure will continue until the incoming transmission is completed, whereupon the telephone call will be terminated. Meanwhile relayed transmission to the local fax machine 201 will continue until it is completed.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further facsimile connection.
  • additional line interface unit 317, and modem 309, line loop detector 318, ring generate circuit 316 components have been included so that a second local fax machine 301 may be connected to the device 203.
  • the particular advantage of this configuration is that maximum use of the telephone line may be attained, with the possibility of both fax machines 301, 201 operating simultaneously. After a fax has been received and a local download to the fax machine is in operation, the external telephone line will become free. During this time the line may be used by the other fax machine or the PC, for the further fax operations.
  • the device 203 may thus effectively multiplex a plurality of devices to the line, for simultaneous operation.
  • the control of the device and the selection of operating modes is by the computer or via the user interface keypad.
  • the user selects which fax machine is to be used for the scan or print operation.
  • the connection to the computer is not necessary.

Abstract

Modem (103) destiné à être connecté à un télécopieur (101) et à un ordinateur (102), ainsi qu'à un réseau téléphonique public commuté (PSTN). Ce modem (103) présente deux modes de fonctionnement: 1) Un mode ordinateur dans lequel l'ordinateur (102) peut communiquer avec le réseau téléphonique (PSTN) et recevoir des appels du télécopieur (101); 2) un mode télécopieur dans lequel le télecopieur (101) peut communiquer avec le réseau téléphonique (PSTN) et recevoir des appels de l'ordinateur (102). Le modem (103) comprend également une mémoire ou mémoire tampon (211) afin que, (a) pour des appels sortant, le télécopieur (101) puisse transmettre des donnés de télécopie vers la mémoire à une vitesse de transmission de télécopie locale, après quoi les données peuvent être relayées au réseau (PSTN) à une vitesse de transmission de télécopie longue distance plus élevée que la vitesse de transmission locale, et (b), pour des appels entrants, la mémoire puisse recevoir des données de télécopie à une vitesse de réception longue distance, après quoi ces données sont relayées au télécopieur (101) à la vitesse de transmission locale, la retransmission s'effectuant simultanément avec la transmission ou la réception des donnés de télécopie. Cette procédure permet de réaliser des gains de temps d'appel sur le réseau téléphonique.
