Abstract

PURPOSE:To caution a facsimile operator to pay attention to the impossibility of communication by notifying the fact to a communication destination party if a signal arrives when facsimile communication cannot be received. CONSTITUTION:When the incoming signal arrives, a communication control part 1 controls a network control part 2, automatically receives it, and then facsimile procedure at the section of the other communication party is controlled. At such a time an expanded ID or a standard ID added to a procedure signal is fetched, sent to a communication ID recording part 3, the communication ID recording part 3 records it, based on the ID of the other recorded communication party, a sound signal synthesizing part 4 retrieves an electric sound signal storage part 5, synthesizes the corresponding electric sound signal, and sends it to a sound signal sending control part 6. Next, based on a telephone number stored into a telephone number storage part 7, the sound signal sending control part 6 sends out the sent electric sound signal. Thus, if the signal arrives when the facsimile communication cannot be received, who has transmitted the signal is notified to the transmission destination party.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an extended ID or standard ID of a communicating party that is added to a procedure signal for responding to an incoming call when facsimile reception is not possible. This invention relates to a mechanism for notifying a facsimile operator that a call cannot be received from a facsimile having a certain ID.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, facsimile machines of this type have ignored incoming calls when facsimile reception is impossible, such as when the paper runs out or the paper jams.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional facsimile machine described above ignores incoming calls when it becomes impossible to receive facsimile messages, so if an incoming call is received at that time, the facsimile operator has to know where the transmission came from. I couldn't find out.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation,
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new facsimile system which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional technology, and which makes it possible to notify the other party of the origin of the transmission when a call arrives when facsimile reception is not possible. Our goal is to provide the following.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a facsimile machine according to the present invention is provided.
The system uses a v1 ellipse that automatically receives calls, and an extended ID or standard ID added to the other party's facsimile procedure signal.
a mechanism for recording the audio signal; a mechanism for converting the audio signal into an electrical audio signal and storing it; and one or more of the stored I/O signals.
A mechanism that searches for a mechanism that stores the audio signal based on D and synthesizes the audio signal, a mechanism that sends the synthesized electrical audio signal to the line, and a destination to which it is sent. The system includes a mechanism for storing a plurality of IDs in advance as telephone numbers, and a mechanism for transmitting the retrieved ID as a voice signal to the stored telephone numbers.

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, when there is an incoming call, the communication control unit 1 controls the network control unit 2, and after automatically receiving the call, controls the facsimile procedure with the other party.

At this time, the extended ID or standard ID added to the procedure signal is taken out and sent to the communication Ill recording section 3, and the communication ID is
The recording unit 3 stores it.

Based on the ID of the communication partner stored in the communication ID storage section 3, the audio signal synthesis section 4 searches the electrical audio signal storage section 5 and synthesizes an electrical audio signal corresponding to the ID. . The synthesized electrical audio signal is sent to the audio signal transmission control section 6.

When the telephone number stored in the telephone number storage section 7 is used, the audio signal transmission control section 6 transmits the electrical audio signal sent thereto. In addition, the entire system is controlled by the system control section 8.
Controlled by

As described in detail, according to the present invention, if a call arrives when facsimile reception is not possible, the facsimile operator is alerted by notifying the other party that communication was not possible. Effects can be obtained.
