BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a communication terminal device such as a telephone or a facsimile device having a reception restriction function.And control method of communication terminal deviceAbout.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, telephones and facsimile machines having a reception restriction function are known in order to refuse reception of solicited telephones and direct mails.
  Such a communication terminal device, for example, registers in advance a telephone number that is permitted to be received, detects a telephone number sent from the line side, and the telephone number is a telephone number other than the registered telephone number. In this case, the reception is rejected.
  In addition, in the case of always permitting only a certain telephone number, since flexibility is poor, for example, in the communication terminal device disclosed in JP-A-7-322035, the permitted telephone number is changed depending on the time zone. It has a possible configuration.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  By the way, in the conventional communication terminal device, it is necessary to newly perform a registration operation as a telephone number for which reception is permitted for a party to which reception is newly permitted. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a new registration operation for a partner who would like to permit reception suddenly. However, if the partner is a partner who needs to receive only once, it is only for that purpose. In addition, it is extremely unreasonable to perform registration operations.
  In such a case, when a company decides whether or not to make a new transaction, first get only an estimate, judge it, and then decide whether to continue the transaction. This is the case.
[0004]
  Even if a new phone number registration operation is performed in such a case, considering that the operation of deleting the phone number immediately becomes necessary, new registration is not performed. For example, only when obtaining an estimate In many cases, the reception restriction function is canceled.
  However, after canceling the reception restriction function, forgetting to set the reception restriction function again or receiving unnecessary reception from a third party other than the intended partner while releasing the reception restriction function. There was a bug that caused it to fall.
  In view of the circumstances described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal device that improves the convenience of the reception restriction function.
[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
  In the present embodiment, a facsimile apparatus will be described as an example of a communication terminal apparatus.
  A facsimile number is taken as an example of a telephone number, and a Caller ID indicating a facsimile number of a facsimile machine on the transmission side is used as a telephone number sent from the line side (line network).
  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the facsimile apparatus according to the first embodiment. The facsimile apparatus has a CPU 1 that controls the entire facsimile apparatus. The CPU 1 is connected to a ROM 3 for storing an operation program including a facsimile procedure such as a communication protocol of the facsimile apparatus and a RAM 4 for storing image data and the like via a bus line 2 including an address bus and a data bus. Yes.
[0007]
  Further, a scanner 5 as a reading unit for reading an image of a document, a printer 6 for printing received image data, a display unit 7 for displaying various messages, and a destination facsimile number at the time of transmission. An operation unit 8 having various keys such as a numeric keypad 19 used for input, a modem 9 for modulating image data and a command given from the CPU 1, receiving signals from the line network 10, and a line network A line control unit 11 that is a transmission unit that controls transmission of a signal to 10, a timer circuit 12 that is a timer unit that measures time, and the like are connected. The line control unit 11 detects a facsimile number (or telephone number) transmitted from the line network 10.
[0008]
  FIG. 2 is a memory configuration diagram of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment. The RAM 4 stores the received image data and the facsimile number that is normally permitted to be received in addition to the image storage unit (not shown) for storing the image data read by the scanner 5 in the normal transmission procedure. A permission memory 13 (telephone number storage unit), a temporary permission memory 14 that stores a facsimile number that permits reception only for a predetermined period, a release flag memory 15 that stores two types of release flags, and a reception permission memory 13 Facsimile numbers stored in the limited number memory 16 and the reception permission memory 13 that store the reception number data until the original state is restored again after canceling the state of permitting reception only from the facsimile number being received. Reception counter memory 17 or the like for storing the number of times of reception after canceling the state of allowing only reception from only It is configured.
[0009]
  The release flag memory 15 is composed of a first release flag area 151 and a second release flag area 152. The first release flag area 151 is an area for storing a flag indicating a state in which all reception is permitted. When 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151, the first release flag area 151 is stored in the reception permission memory 13. Reception from all facsimile numbers is permitted regardless of whether or not it is a facsimile number.
[0010]
  The second release flag area 152 is an area for storing a flag indicating a state of permitting reception of only the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 and the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14. In a state where 1 is stored in the second release flag area 152, only reception from the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 and the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 is permitted.
[0011]
  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the operation unit 8 of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment.
  The operation unit 8 includes a plurality of one-touch keys 18 for inputting a preset destination facsimile number by one touch, a numeric keypad 19 for inputting a destination facsimile number, a reset key 20 for instructing to redo the operation, There are a start key 21 for instructing the start of transmission, a release key 22 used for canceling the state of permitting reception only from the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 and the like.
[0012]
  4 and 5 are flowcharts showing processing of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment. This facsimile apparatus is set to receive only image data from the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 (reception restriction function).
  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the following operation procedure is determined as a setting operation for automatically operating the reception restriction function when the reception restriction function is canceled.
[0013]
  When the facsimile apparatus is in a standby state, the cancel key 22 is operated, and subsequently, a facsimile number permitting reception is input using the ten key 19, and the cancel key 22 is operated. If the release key 22 is operated without inputting a facsimile number that permits reception, all reception is permitted.
  Next, it is set how many times reception is performed to return to a state in which reception of only the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 is permitted. This is performed by inputting the number of times using the numeric keypad 19 and inputting the release key 22.
  With the above operation, the reception restriction function is canceled.
[0014]
  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the reception restriction release processing of the facsimile apparatus of this embodiment. This flowchart is executed in response to an operation of any key of the operation unit 8 in a standby state.
  It is determined whether or not the key operated in step 100 is the release key 22. If not the release key 22, other processing is executed in step 101. Other processing includes, for example, facsimile number transmission processing based on the operation of the one-touch key 18.
[0015]
  If it is determined in step 100 that the release key 22 is selected, the facsimile number that is not the target of the reception restriction function by the input of the facsimile number and the input of the release key 22 in step 102 to execute the process of releasing the reception restriction function. Execute the input process. The facsimile number is input by operating the numeric key 19, and the completion of the input of the facsimile number is instructed by operating the release key 22. Here, the input of the facsimile number is not essential, and the release key 22 may be operated without inputting the facsimile number. In that case, the reception restriction function is released unconditionally.
  In step 103, it is determined whether or not a facsimile number has been input. This is determined by whether or not numerical data is secured in a key input buffer of a work area (not shown).
[0016]
  If there is no number input, it means that the reception restriction function is instructed to be canceled, so that 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151 to indicate that the reception restriction function has been released in step 106. If it is determined in step 103 that a number has been input, this means that it has been instructed to permit reception of a predetermined facsimile number in addition to the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13. The second release flag area indicates that the entered facsimile number is stored in the temporary permission memory 14 and that reception from the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 is also permitted in step 105. 1 is stored in 152.
[0017]
  A number of times input process is executed to instruct how many times the reception is executed in step 107 and return to the normal reception restriction function. This is due to the input of the number of times by the operation of the numeric keypad 19 and the operation of the release key 22 indicating the completion of the input. Note that the number of times input by the numeric keypad 19 is not essential. If the input of the number of times is omitted and only the release key 22 is operated, the initial setting value (for example, 1) or the previously stored number of times is input.
  Here, the reception subject to the number of receptions is the reception from the facsimile number when the facsimile number is input in step 102, and from all the parties when the facsimile number is not input. Is the target.
  When the number input process is completed in step 107, the number data input in step 108 is stored in the limit number memory 16, and the process ends.
[0018]
  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing reception processing of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment. This flowchart is executed in response to detecting a call from the network 10.
  It is assumed that a call is detected, a Caller ID is detected, and a facsimile number (or telephone number) included therein is stored in a work area (not shown).
[0019]
  In step 109, it is determined whether 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151. When 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151, it means that the reception restriction function is released, and thus reception is executed without referring to the contents of the reception permission memory 13. Therefore, first, in step 110, the content of the reception counter memory 17 is incremented by 1, and in step 111, the count data stored in the limit count memory 16 and the numerical value in the receive counter memory 17 are compared, and the receive count is set to the limit count. It is determined whether or not it has been reached. If the number of receptions has reached the limit number, the contents of the first release flag area 151 and the reception counter memory 17 are cleared at step 112 and the process proceeds to step 113. By clearing the first release flag area 151, the reception restriction function is activated for the subsequent reception. After the reception restriction function is canceled, the reception restriction function is automatically activated in response to the reception of the number of times stored in the restriction number memory 16, so that the user can return to the reception restriction function. Eliminates time and effort.
[0020]
  If it is determined in step 111 that the number of receptions has not reached the limit number, reception processing such as receiving image data in step 113 and printing on recording paper is performed without performing step 112.
  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 109 that 1 is not stored in the first release flag area 151, it is determined in step 114 whether or not the facsimile number is included in the call from the line network. This is done by checking the work area that stores the facsimile number received from the network. If it is determined that the facsimile number is not included, since the caller is unknown, reception refusal processing such as disconnection of the line is executed at step 121.
[0021]
  If it is determined in step 114 that the facsimile number is included, it is determined in step 115 whether or not 1 is stored in the second release flag. If 1 is stored in the second release flag, it means that the facsimile number that is permitted to be received is stored in the temporary permission memory 14, so that the facsimile number received from the line network in step 116. Is a facsimile number in the temporary permission memory 14.
[0022]
  If NO in steps 115 and 116, it is determined in step 120 whether the facsimile number is stored in the reception permission memory 13.
If the facsimile number is stored in the reception permission memory 13, the reception process is executed in step 113. If the facsimile number is not stored in the reception permission memory 13, the reception rejection process is executed in step 121 and the process is terminated. .
  If it is determined in step 116 that the facsimile number is stored in the temporary permission memory 14, first, the content of the reception counter memory 17 is incremented by 1 in step 117, and stored in the limit count memory 16 in step 117. The number of times data is compared with the numerical value of the reception counter memory 17 to determine whether or not the number of receptions has reached the limit number. If the number of receptions has reached the limit number, it means that the reception from the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 has been executed for the limit number of times. The contents of the counter memory 17 are cleared, the reception process is executed in step 113, and the process ends.
[0023]
  Since the second release flag area 152 is cleared, the temporary permission memory 14 is not taken into consideration for the next and subsequent receptions, and a reception restriction function that permits only reception from the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13. Will work.
  After allowing the reception from the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14, the reception from the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 is executed for the number of times stored in the limit number memory 16. The facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 automatically becomes meaningless (invalid). As a result, the user does not have to delete the facsimile number once permitted to be received, and the burden is reduced.
[0024]
  Next, the operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described.
  Now, “111-1111”, “222-2222”, “333-3333” and the like are stored in the reception permission memory 13 as facsimile numbers, and “123-4567” is temporarily stored as a facsimile number to be permitted to be received. ”And 1 is stored as the limit count data.
[0025]
  First, a case where the reception restriction function is temporarily canceled will be described.
  The user operates the release key 22 in the standby state of the facsimile apparatus. Then, the facsimile apparatus waits for input of a facsimile number that permits reception. At this time, it is naturally conceivable to display a message prompting it on the display unit. Since the reception restriction function is released now, the release key 22 is operated again without inputting the facsimile number.
  Subsequently, the limit number is input. Again, if the release key 22 is operated without inputting the limit number, the limit number data becomes an initial set value (for example, 1).
[0026]
  In response to the operation as described above, the facsimile apparatus stores 1 in the first release flag area 151 and 1 in the limited-time memory. In this way, reception is executed only for one reception without the reception restriction function.
  In this state, when there is a call from the network 10, the facsimile apparatus permits reception because 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151, but adds 1 to the contents of the reception counter memory 17. As a result, since it becomes the same as 1 in the limited number of times memory 16, the contents of the first release flag area 151 and the contents of the reception counter memory 17 are cleared. As a result, the reception restriction function is activated in the facsimile apparatus.
[0027]
  If there is a call from the network in this state, since 1 is not stored in either the first release flag area 151 or the second release flag area 152, the normal reception restriction function works and the reception is performed. If the call is from the facsimile number stored in the permission memory 13, the reception process is executed, and if the call is from another place, the reception is rejected.
  Next, a case where reception of a specific facsimile number “123-4567” is permitted will be described.
[0028]
  The user operates the release key 22 in the standby state of the facsimile apparatus, inputs “123-4567” as the facsimile number permitted to be received, and operates the release key 22.
  Subsequently, the limit number is input. Again, if the release key 22 is operated without inputting the limit number, the limit number data becomes an initial set value (for example, 1).
  In response to the operation as described above, the facsimile apparatus stores “123-4567” in the temporary permission memory 14, stores 1 in the second release flag area 152, and stores 1 in the limited-time memory. In this case, the call from “123-4567” is received only once.
[0029]
  In this state, when there is a call from the line network, the facsimile apparatus stores 1 in the second release flag area 152. Therefore, the facsimile apparatus determines the facsimile number received from the line network and determines “123-4567”. It is determined whether the call originates from the terminal, and if so, reception processing is executed. At that time, the content of the reception counter memory 17 is incremented by 1 and compared with the content of the limited number of times memory 16 and becomes the same as 1 of the limited number of times memory 16, so that the contents of the temporary permission memory 14 and the second release The contents of the flag area 152 and the contents of the reception counter memory 17 are cleared. The facsimile number “123-4567” is invalid. As a result, the reception restriction function is activated in the facsimile apparatus.
[0030]
  Note that the reception counter memory 17 is counted up only when image data from “123-4567” is received, and is not counted up for other receptions. For example, even when 1 is stored in the second release flag area 152, reception from “111-1111” stored in the reception permission memory 13 is also permitted and reception processing is executed. Does not execute reception from “123-4567”, the content of the reception counter memory 17 is not incremented by one.
[0031]
  This is the case where the reception restriction function is canceled as described above, and the reception restriction function may work again because the reception from a place other than the target party was executed during the release. However, by counting only the number of receptions of a specific number, there is an effect that the reception from the target party can be executed without fail.
  In the first embodiment, the example in which the reception limit function is activated by the number of times of reception has been described. However, it may be performed not by the number of times of reception but by time.
[0032]
  A second embodiment will be described. This is to make the reception restriction function work by using time. Since the difference from the first embodiment is a memory configuration and a flowchart, the other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment. Using the drawings used in the description, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are used, and the description is omitted.
[0033]
  FIG. 6 is a memory configuration diagram of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment. The reception permission memory 13, the temporary permission memory 14, and the release flag memory 15 for storing two types of release flags are the same as those in the facsimile apparatus of the first embodiment. However, in place of the limited number of times memory 16 and the reception counter memory 17 used for managing the number of times, after canceling the state in which only the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 is permitted, It has a time limit memory 50 that stores time data until it returns to the original state again.
  7, 8 and 9 are flowcharts showing the processing of the facsimile apparatus according to this embodiment. As in the first embodiment, the facsimile apparatus is set to receive only image data from the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 (reception restriction function).
[0034]
  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the following operation procedure is determined as a setting operation for automatically operating the reception restriction function when the reception restriction function is canceled.
  When the facsimile apparatus is in a standby state, the cancel key 22 is operated, and subsequently, a facsimile number permitting reception is input using the ten key 19, and the cancel key 22 is operated. If the release key 22 is operated without inputting a facsimile number that permits reception, all reception is permitted.
[0035]
  Next, the number of minutes after which the number of minutes to return to the state of permitting reception only from the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13 is set. In other words, set how many minutes the reception restriction function is released. This is performed by inputting the time using the numeric keypad 19 (for example, 10 for 10 minutes) and inputting the release key 22.
  With the above operation, the reception restriction function is canceled.
[0036]
  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the reception restriction release processing of the facsimile apparatus according to this embodiment. This flowchart is executed in response to an operation of any key of the operation unit 8 in a standby state.
  It is determined whether or not the key operated in step 200 is the release key 22. If not the release key 22, other processing is executed in step 201.
  If it is determined in step 200 that the release key 22 is selected, the facsimile number that is not the target of the reception restriction function by the input of the facsimile number and the input of the release key 22 in step 202 to execute the reception restriction function release processing. Execute the input process. The facsimile number is input by operating the numeric key 19, and the completion of the input of the facsimile number is instructed by operating the release key 22. Here, the input of the facsimile number is not essential, and the release key 22 may be operated without inputting the facsimile number. In that case, the reception restriction function is released unconditionally.
[0037]
  In step 203, it is determined whether or not a facsimile number has been input. This is determined by whether or not numerical data is secured in a key input buffer of a work area (not shown).
  If there is no number input, it means that the reception restriction function is instructed to be cancelled. Therefore, 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151 to indicate that the reception restriction function has been released in step 206. If it is determined in step 203 that a number has been input, this means that it has been instructed to permit reception of a predetermined facsimile number in addition to the facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13. In order to indicate that the entered facsimile number is stored in the temporary permission memory 14 and that the facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 is also permitted in step 205, a second release flag area is displayed. 1 is stored in 152.
[0038]
  The processing up to this point is the same as in the first embodiment.
  In step 207, a time input process is executed to instruct how many minutes have passed before returning to the normal reception restriction function. This is due to the input of time by the operation of the numeric keypad 19 and the operation of the release key 22 indicating the completion of the input. It should be noted that the time input with the numeric keypad 19 is not essential. When the input of time is omitted and only the release key 22 is operated, the initial setting value (for example, 10 minutes) or the previously stored time is input.
  When the time input process is completed in step 207, the time data input in step 208 is stored in the time limit memory 50. In step 209, a timer is started and the process ends.
[0039]
  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing reception processing of the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment. This flowchart is executed in response to detecting a call from the network 10.
  It is the same as in the first embodiment that a call is detected, a Caller ID is detected, and a facsimile number (or telephone number) included in the caller ID is stored in a work area (not shown).
  In step 210, it is determined whether 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151 or not. If 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151, it means that the reception restriction function is released, so that the reception is executed in step 215 without referring to the contents of the reception permission memory 13. .
[0040]
  If it is determined in step 210 that 1 is not stored in the first release flag area 151, it is determined in step 211 whether or not the facsimile number is included in the call from the line network. This is done by checking the work area that stores the facsimile number received from the network. If it is determined that the facsimile number is not included, since the caller is unknown, reception refusal processing such as disconnection of the line is executed at step 216.
[0041]
  If it is determined in step 211 that the facsimile number is included, it is determined in step 212 whether 1 is stored in the second release flag. If one image is stored in the second release flag, it means that the facsimile number that is permitted to be received is stored in the temporary permission memory 14, so that the facsimile number received from the network in step 213. Is a facsimile number in the temporary permission memory 14.
  If NO is determined in step 212 and step 213, it is determined in step 214 whether the facsimile number is stored in the reception permission memory 13.
If it is a facsimile number stored in the reception permission memory 13, a reception process is executed in step 215. If not stored in the reception permission memory 13, a reception rejection process is executed in step 216 and the process is terminated. .
[0042]
  If it is determined in step 213 that the facsimile number is stored in the temporary permission memory 14, the reception process is executed in step 215 and the process is terminated.
  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the return to the reception restriction function of the facsimile apparatus of this embodiment.
  This flowchart is executed at 1 minute intervals when the timer is started in step 209 of FIG.
[0043]
  In step 217, the timer value is referred to, and compared with the time data stored in the time limit memory 50, it is determined whether the time data (for example, 10) in the time limit memory 50 has been reached. If the time data stored in the time limit memory 50 has not been reached, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the time limit memory 50 has been reached, the temporary permission memory 14 and the release flag memory 15 are cleared in step 218, and the process ends. The facsimile number stored in the temporary permission memory 14 becomes invalid.
  Since the reception restriction function is automatically activated according to the elapse of time data stored in the time limit memory 50 after the reception restriction function is canceled, the user has the trouble of returning to the reception restriction function. And the burden is reduced.
[0044]
  Next, the operation of the facsimile apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described.
  As in the first embodiment, “111-1111”, “222-2222”, “333-3333”, etc. are stored as facsimile numbers in the reception permission memory 13, and it is desired to temporarily permit reception. A description will be given assuming that “123-4567” is the facsimile number and 10 (10 minutes) is stored as the time limit data as a feature of each embodiment.
  First, a case where the reception restriction function is temporarily canceled will be described.
  The user operates the release key 22 in the standby state of the facsimile apparatus. Then, the facsimile apparatus waits for input of a facsimile number that permits reception. At this time, it is naturally conceivable to display a message prompting it on the display unit. Since the reception restriction function is released now, the release key 22 is operated again without inputting the facsimile number.
[0045]
  Next, enter the time limit. Again, if the release key 22 is operated without inputting the time limit, the time limit data becomes an initial set value (for example, 10).
  In response to the operation as described above, the facsimile apparatus stores 1 in the first release flag area 151 and 10 in the time limit memory 50. Thus, after this operation, reception is executed for 10 minutes without the reception restriction function.
  In this state, if there is a call from the line network within 10 minutes after the operation, the facsimile apparatus permits reception because 1 is stored in the first release flag area 151. On the other hand, when 10 minutes have elapsed, the contents of the first release flag area 151 are cleared. As a result, the reception restriction function is activated in the facsimile apparatus.
[0046]
  If there is a call from the network in this state, since 1 is not stored in either the first release flag area 151 or the second release flag area 152, the normal reception restriction function works and the reception is performed. If the call is from the facsimile number stored in the permission memory 13, the reception process is executed, and if the call is from another place, the reception is rejected.
  Next, a case where reception of a specific facsimile number “123-4567” is permitted will be described.

  The user operates the release key 22 in the standby state of the facsimile apparatus, inputs “123-4567” as the facsimile number permitted to be received, and operates the release key 22.
  Next, enter the time limit. Again, if the release key 22 is operated without inputting the time limit, the time limit data becomes an initial set value (for example, 10).
  In response to the operation as described above, the facsimile apparatus stores “123-4567” in the temporary permission memory 14, stores 1 in the second release flag area 152, and stores 1 in the time limit memory 50. In this case, the call from “123-4567” is allowed to be received for 10 minutes.
[0048]
  In this state, when there is a call from the line network, the facsimile apparatus stores 1 in the second release flag area 152. Therefore, the facsimile apparatus determines the facsimile number received from the line network and determines “123-4567”. It is determined whether the call originates from the terminal, and if so, reception processing is executed.
  When 10 minutes elapse after setting the facsimile number “123-4567”, the contents of the second release flag area 152 are cleared, and the contents of the temporary permission memory 14 are also cleared (invalidated). As a result, the reception restriction function is activated in the facsimile apparatus.
[0049]
  The present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments.
For example, in the above embodiment, the reception permission memory 13 is described as a dedicated memory for the reception restriction function. For example, the facsimile number stored corresponding to the one-touch key 18 is used for reception restriction. It may be used as a facsimile number.
  Although the time has been described as minutes, it may be set in hours or seconds. However, it is not desirable for the original purpose to cancel the reception restriction function for a long time.
[0050]
  Further, although the facsimile apparatus has been described as an example, a telephone or other communication apparatus may be used.
  Furthermore, although the contents of the limited number of times memory 16 and the limited time memory 50 have been described as being settable, they may be fixed.
  Furthermore, although the Caller ID has been described as an example, a number included in the TSI signal included in the facsimile procedure may be used.
  In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[0051]
【The invention's effect】
  According to the present invention,When the reception restriction means is set to be canceled, the reception process is executed regardless of whether or not it is stored in the telephone number storage unit for the reception that occurred during the period stored in the cancellation period storage unit, Since the reception restriction unit is made valid again after the period stored in the release period storage unit has elapsed, it is possible to prevent the reception restriction function from being released.
[0052]
  In addition, when it is set to permit reception from the telephone number stored in the temporary permission number storage unit, only reception of a specific telephone number can be permitted for a specific period while the reception restriction function is activated. .
