Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a facsimile device for both sending and receiving purposes.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional facsimile machine, after receiving the screen one by one on the receiving side, it confirms normality and sends a normal signal or an abnormal signal to the sender. Based on the received abnormal signal, the sending facsimile machine records the reception time of the abnormal signal from the destination as the abnormality occurrence time in the management report together with the destination address.

If the destination facsimile machine is unable to receive data due to an abnormal state such as paper jam or paper shortage, the originating facsimile machine receives an abnormality signal, but there is no signal that includes the details of the abnormality.

Since the originating facsimile machine is normal, it is interrupted to make a call to another destination and is made available for use.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As mentioned above, the conventional 7Axis I7 device is configured to send a simple abnormal signal to the sender, which does not include any abnormal conditions during image signal reception, so the caller can check the normal reception of the transmitted screen by using the telephone. It is necessary to check using another communication method such as a facsimile machine, especially when the caller is away from the facsimile machine. If the machine is shared by many people, it may be recorded only in the management report due to calls made by other people. The problem was that it was essential to verify the sender.

The present invention provides a 7 axis I7 device that solves the above problems.

[Means for solving problems]

The facsimile apparatus of the present invention includes a detection means for detecting a reception interruption state during image signal reception as an abnormality, and a detection means driven by the detection means when an abnormality is detected to detect the detection time and state of the abnormality, as well as the sender and the receiving device. forming means for collecting predetermined information including at least an address to form a predetermined screen; and when the screen is formed, the forming means is driven by the forming means and then converts the formed screen into an image signal to the source. and a signal transmitting means for transmitting the signal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The seven-axis IJ device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the parts of the facsimile machine according to the present invention include a signal receiving means 111, a signal storing means 2, a recording control means 3, a recording groove 4, a paper feeding mechanism 5, an abnormality detecting means 6, a format forming means 7, and Signal transmitting means 8 are illustrated.

The signal receiving means 1 receives a signal from a connected device via a communication line. Therefore, the source address is received by the signal receiving means 1 when the line as a communication line is established. The image signal storage means 2 extracts an image signal from the signal received by the signal reception means 1 and stores it. The recording control means 3 sequentially extracts image signals from the image signal storage means 2 and transfers them to the recording mechanism 4 for recording, and also controls the paper feed mechanism 5 to move the recording paper to a predetermined position in the recording mechanism 4. The recording mechanism 4 and paper feeding mechanism 5 together with the recording control means 3 output an abnormality signal.

The abnormality detection means 6 detects abnormalities in the recording mechanism 4 and paper feeding mechanism 5 and outputs the abnormal state.

The format forming means 7 is the recording control means 3j? When an abnormal state is received from the abnormality detecting means 6 and activated, information is collected and the screen shown in FIG. 2 is synthesized.

FIG. 2 is a screen configuration diagram showing an embodiment of an abnormality report that is transmitted from the receiving side to the sender when there is an abnormality on the receiving side according to the present invention. In Figure 2, the abnormality report is written as r
January 1, 1986 12:00'', the source address is ``2345 J, the destination address is 6789J, the number of sheets received is ``3'', the abnormal condition is ``Paper shortage/blocked'', and The format forming means 7 synthesizes the message "The blockage will be released as soon as paper is replenished" and forms a screen. The screen formed here may be stored in any format, including a two-dimensional image signal or a serial signal in a transmission format.

7. The output forming means 7 receives the occurrence time from the clock circuit (not shown), the source address from the signal receiving means 1,
An address circuit (in which the receiving address is preset in the own device)
In this embodiment, the number of received messages is further input from the recording control means 3, and the abnormal state is input from the message storage section (not shown) in a fixed format preset according to the received abnormal state. from)
Each is taken out. Although the message may be omitted, for example, in response to an abnormal state of a paper jam, a character composition pattern such as "The blockage will be released as soon as the paper jam is cleared." is stored.

Next, the main operating procedures of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the main operating procedure of the present invention. When the facsimile machine connects the receiving circuit including the signal receiving means 1 to the communication line and an abnormality occurs while receiving an image signal, the control circuit (not shown) detects the abnormality (operation procedure 01) and the receiving circuit At the same time, the connection to the communication line is switched to the transmission circuit including the signal transmitting means 8 (operation procedure 02), and the connection to the communication line is temporarily disconnected (operation procedure 03).

When the control circuit disconnects the communication line, it drives the formatting means 7 (operation step 04). When the format forming means 7 is driven, it collects predetermined information (operating procedure 05) and forms a preset screen format by character composition (operation procedure 06). Formation of the format may be started by detecting an abnormality in operation procedure 01. When the format is formed, the transmitting circuit including the signal transmitting means 8 confirms the disconnection of the communication line in operation step 03, automatically calls the originator (operation step 07), and reconnects the disconnected communication line. The receiving circuit of the originating facsimile machine is driven (operation step 08). Next, the transmitting circuit drives the signal transmitting means 8 to transmit the image signal (operation procedure 09).
