Following with reference to accompanying drawing, describe embodiments of the invention in detail:

Fig. 1 represents facsimile machine topology example block diagram of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a facsimile machine course of action flow chart of the present invention.

Fig. 3 is that facsimile machine ram region of the present invention is set ideograph.

Fig. 4 is facsimile machine personal delivery table content model figure of the present invention.

Below with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrate in more detail with regard to example of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a facsimile machine structured flowchart of the present invention.

Reference marks 11 is the CPU (central processing unit) as controller function, and it links to each other with following equipment through bus 10: as LCD (LCD) 21 and the driver 13 thereof of display function: as the key matrix 14 and the interface (I/F) 15 thereof of input unit function; Deposit the ROM (read-only memory) 16 of this facsimile machine operation program etc. in; As the RAM (random access memory) 17 of the temporary message that receives and the memory functions such as message that should send, and as the Digital Signal Processing parts such as codec (CODEC) 18 of bifurcation picture intelligence codec capability.

CPU11 changes into the image treatment part 22 of digital image signal with the CCD that reads manuscript (charge-coupled device) 21 and with the analog picture signal that reads and the image reading section such as printer 23 that digital image signal is printed on paper is linked to each other with printing portion through bus 10.Again it, CPU11 through bus 10 therewith communication function such as the NCU of equipment access communications line network 40 (network controller) 31 and modulator-demodulator 32 partly link to each other.

Reference marks 35 and timer.This timer 35 is in order to the timing what is called timing timer in absolute constantly (year, moon, time, minute, second).In case of necessity, can on LCD12, show date or constantly.Realize reference by CPU simultaneously to the absolute moment.

Facsimile machine action of the present invention is according to the program that deposits among the ROM16, is controlled by CPU.Its general course of action is as follows, and promptly facsimile has following five stages to carry out according to regulation of ITU: the communication line of two equipment rooms is connected the stage A (calling and setting) that circuit is connected usefulness; All promises that information (manuscript that should receive and dispatch) sends usefulness exchange the stage B (preset information process) of usefulness than it in advance; The stage C (message transmission) that information exchange is used; The stage D (back information process) of information end of a period and affirmation usefulness thereof; And the stage E of the communication line of two equipment rooms interruption usefulness (call out and discharge), as shown in Figure 1.

When carrying out facsimile machine communication usually, point out and to send by operator's operation keys matrix 14.Meanwhile put through the other side's telephone number, make CCD21 read the manuscript that should send.In view of the above, the calling and setting of the advanced row order section of CPU11 A.That is to say that CPU11 sends instruction to NCU31, make it to link to each other the action of breathing out with communication line 40.On the other hand, the analog picture signal that is read from manuscript by CCD21 changes into digital image signal through image treatment part 22, again through codec 18, after reading (Modified Read) mode and carry out numeralization (compression) according to changing of so-called scanning width (Run Length) numeralization, be temporarily stored among the RAM17.

By calling and setting, in case when linking to each other, CPU11 can carry out giving of stage B and put information process, and the desired function of both sides' equipment discerned and select when communication counterpart facsimile machine and circuit.After this, the phase place of CPU11 limit registration signal and synchronous, the information of limit transfer phase C that is to say, the numeralization digital image signal (information) that will obtain from the manuscript that should issue communication counterpart sends by MODEM (modulator-demodulator) and NCU.

All information are in case transmission finishes, and CPU11 can carry out the back information process of stage D, that is to say, confirm in the end of a period of carrying out information, and behind to be confirmed the finishing, CPU11 sends instruction to NCU31 cuts off circuit, promptly carries out the calling release of stage E.

The elemental motion process of general facsimile beeper more than has been described, the elemental motion procedure declaration when now being called out reception is as follows.

In called machine, by from the calling and setting to method, apparatus (beeper), when making it NCU31 and linking to each other with order wire road network 40, the preset information process of the advanced row order section of CPU11 B so far, between called machine and the beeper, just can enter communications status.After this, CPU11 then receives from the next manuscript numeralization digital image signal that should receive of stage C message transmission by MODEM31 and MODEM32.This numeralization digital image signal, temporary to RAM17 from MODEM32.In general, the numeralization digital image signal that deposits among the RAM17 is after being translated into former digital image signal successively by codec 18 immediately, and image shows on the LCD12 printing on the paper or deliver to from lcd driver 13 as it is with printer 23.But if during the no paper of printer 23 or operator's request when suitably setting in advance, the information that stores among the RAM17 is that storage print is come out as it is.

When the manuscript signal that should receive all receives, CPU11 then and carry out the exchange of the tail information process of stage D between beeper, and after this is confirmed, the calling of carrying out stage E discharges and communication comes to an end.

Be stored in the information among the RAM17, the operator can print on paper with printer 23 as required, also can show on LCD12.

Below with reference to Fig. 2 flow chart, the course of action of the receiving end facsimile machine when to utilize its feature be the personal delivery function of one of non-standard function is described in facsimile machine of the present invention shown in Figure 1.Fig. 3 is the ideograph that the RAM17 zone is set.Fig. 4 is the ideograph of its personal delivery table 17T content.

RAM17 can be divided into personal delivery table section 17T, personal delivery frame zone 17B and other regional 17A, does not delimit but have obviously between personal delivery frame zone 17B and other the regional 17A, can set personal delivery frame zone 17B as required in other regional 17A, shown in Fig. 3 ideograph.

When utilizing the personal delivery function to carry out facsimile, in the receiving end facsimile machine, need preestablish one and corresponding personal delivery name of personal delivery number and secret signal password.In addition, when the receiving end facsimile machine receive come by the personal delivery facsimile machine personal delivery communication the time, need the appointed personal delivery number of storage, collect mail date and time the personal delivery frame initial address of original number and storage personal delivery message etc. of making a start.For this reason, in RAM17, be provided with in order to store the personal delivery zone 17T of these contents, as shown in Figure 3.Specifically, in personal delivery table section 17T, be provided with personal delivery number zone 171, personal delivery name zone 172, secret signal cryptographic zone 173, mail collection time zone 174, make a start original number zone 175 and personal delivery frame initial address zone 176, as shown in Figure 4.

Sign indicating number zone 171 is exhaled in personal delivery, preestablished 8 zones of " 1 " to " 8 " in this example, and in the personal delivery name of personal delivery number correspondence zone 171 and secret signal cryptographic zone 172 login then corresponding respectively with personal delivery name and the secret signal password logined in the receiving end facsimile machine.In addition, if when receiving the personal delivery message by the receiving end facsimile machine, then corresponding with appointed personal delivery number, its collection of letters date storage is in receiving day its zone 174, the facsimile machine original telephone number of making a start of its personal delivery message is stored in the original number zone 175 of making a start, and the initial address that deposits its personal delivery message among the 17B of personal delivery frame zone in is stored in the personal delivery initial address zone 176.

For example, someone " field, village ", when requiring to receive the communication of personal delivery function, must carry out the operation of key matrix 14, make personal delivery number (as: " 1 "), personal delivery name (as: name of oneself " field, village ") and the secret signal password (as: 1234) of login oneself on the facsimile machine.After such presetting, the personal delivery message storage that just can make reception is guaranteed in RAM time with personal delivery frame zone 17B.Meanwhile, corresponding with personal delivery number " 1 ", personal delivery name " field, village " and secret signal password " 1234 " are logined respectively in the zone 171,172 and 173 of personal delivery table section 17T.

The receiving end facsimile machine that login so in advance is good is when receiving a message by personal delivery communication appointment.For example: receive; When the personal delivery number of non-standard order was the personal delivery message of " 1 ", its personal delivery message can be printed without printer 23, also can go up to show without LCD12, and must be in the 17B of the personal delivery frame zone of RAM17, as the personal delivery message storage of personal delivery number " 1 ".Meanwhile, the collection of letters date that to be read by timer 25, (for example: " 960120 08:30 " promptly 1996 on January 20,8: 30) be stored in the corresponding date received of personal delivery number " 1 " zone 174 of personal delivery table section 17T, the facsimile machine telephone number of making a start (for example: 012-34-5678) be stored in the original number zone 175 of making a start and the personal delivery frame initial address (for example: " 8000 ") that deposits its personal delivery message in is stored in the personal delivery frame initiation region 176.

The secret signal password " 1234 " of the corresponding login in advance of personal delivery number " 1 " is as long as when being imported by key matrix, CPU11 can read the address from the corresponding personal delivery frame of personal delivery number " 1 " initiation region 176, in view of the above, the personal delivery message just reads out from the personal delivery frame zone 17B of RAM17.The personal delivery message of reading is printed on paper with printer 23 after being translated into through codec 18 again, and perhaps LCD12 goes up and shows.

As mentioned above, when utilizing the personal delivery function to carry out facsimile,, must login personal delivery number personal delivery name corresponding and secret signal password in advance, and the personal delivery frame of RAM17 zone 17B must have living space with it at the receiving end facsimile machine in order to make communication effective.In other words, prerequisite is exactly that RAM17 must have certain ccontaining redundancy, to set personal delivery frame zone 17B.

On the other hand, when utilizing the personal delivery function to carry out facsimile, the facsimile machine of making a start can be sent by 14 promptings of operator's operation keys matrix, meanwhile put through the other side's telephone number, the operating and setting by key matrix 14 utilizes personal delivery function and the corresponding personal delivery number of information receiver (needing to confirm in advance) again.Under this state, read the manuscript that should send by CCD21 after, will send manuscript message (hereinafter referred to as the personal delivery message).Identical as for the down course of action of the facsimile machine of the making a start course of action when sending usually, the Therefore, omited.

Reception is moved as shown in Figure 2 from the receiving end facsimile machine of the personal delivery message of the facsimile machine of making a start.In the receiving end facsimile machine, CPU11 docks the receiving literary composition all the time and monitors (step S11).When receiving message, whether the message that CPU11 will analyze reception personal delivery message (step 12).If the personal delivery message, then CPU11 is stored in it earlier among the personal delivery frame zone 17B of RAM17 temporarily.Meanwhile, the date that it is received, transmission end dialing number and the initial address of the personal delivery frame zone 17B of its storage is stored in respectively in corresponding 174,175 and 176 each zone, personal delivery number " 1 " zone of personal delivery table section 17T.At this moment, CPU11 reads the collection of letters name (personal delivery name) and the personal delivery reception notification of appointment according to the personal delivery message and the personal delivery number " 1 " thereof that receive from the personal delivery name zone 172 of personal delivery table section 17T, prints or upward demonstration of LCD12 with printer 23.In addition, if the personal delivery message that receives not is the personal delivery message, then can handle (step S21) respectively accordingly.

After the output of personal delivery message notifying, CPU11 process 35 pairs of elapsed time of timer (as: 1 week, 1 month) is carried out when monitoring, whether the personal delivery message is exported monitor from the 17B of personal delivery frame zone.That is to say whether specify input secret signal password to take out personal delivery message (step S14, S15) the nominator of rechecking that make a start as personal delivery message receiver.If the taking-up of personal delivery message is before indication, when process is given specified time, then CPU11 will be stored in the personal delivery message cancellation (step S16) among the personal delivery frame zone 17B of RAM17, and from the original number territory 175 of making a start of personal delivery table section 17T, read the facsimile machine telephone number of making a start, by NCU31 being carried out the control action of breathing out, do not reach notice (step S17) to what the facsimile machine of making a start sent that the personal delivery message can not be sent to the appointment receiver.

If give in the specified time, personal delivery message receiver, operation by key matrix 14, when the corresponding correct secret signal password of indication input personal delivery number takes out message, after then CPU11 just reads the personal delivery message of appointment from the personal delivery frame of RAM17, print with printer 23, perhaps LCD12 goes up when showing, cancellation (step S16) from the 17B of personal delivery frame zone, and from the original number zone 175 of making a start of personal delivery table section 175, read the facsimile machine telephone number of making a start, control the action of breathing out by NCU31 is carried out, send the personal delivery message to the facsimile machine of making a start and be sent to the personal delivery affirmation notice (step S17) of specifying the receiver.

The transmitted in both directions mode that does not reach notice and personal delivery affirmation notice is provided in above-mentioned example.Certainly, only adopt one of them transmission structure mode also can.In addition, not reaching the form of communicating by letter of notice and personal delivery affirmation notice, both can be the information mode of facsimile, can be again distinctive coding form.If open up a kind of distinctive coding form, must increase in the facsimile machine of then making a start it is carried out Coded Analysis after, show on the display or with the function of printer prints.Yet,, need not increase special function and just can receive if open up a kind of message form of facsimile.Therefore, to not reaching the form of communicating by letter of notice and personal delivery affirmation notice, preferably discuss the message form of facsimile.
