The present invention relates to a method for notifying a missed reception message of a facsimile, and more particularly, to a missed reception message notification method of notifying a reception message through a destination fax when there is a document reception in the absence.

In general, when the facsimile dials the telephone number of the calling facsimile in the sending facsimile, the facsimile prints and prints the document received in the receiving facsimile according to the prescribed protocol. At this time, since the sender's telephone number is transmitted to the receiver during protocol progress, the receiver's fax machine can recognize the sender's telephone number.

However, the above-described facsimile has a problem that the receiving side facsimile user does not know whether the facsimile is received when the facsimile used by the user goes out to another location.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a reception message notification method for notifying that there is a reception message for solving the above problem.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a reception message notification method of notifying a destination message to a destination fax when a document is received in a facsimile.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention registers a destination facsimile telephone number when the user goes out, sets the facsimile to the reception switching mode, receives a document when there is a call of the receiving side facsimile, and then stores the destination telephone number. By dialing, the destination fax is called to notify that there is an incoming message.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

One preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 described above.

In order to transmit and receive image data of the original by calling the receiving side, the transmitting side transmits and receives a protocol as shown in FIG. First, when the sender calls the state facsimile, the sender sends a calling tone (CNG) signal to the receiver. After receiving the CNG signal, the receiver transmits a CED (Colled Station Identification) signal, and then transmits a Non-Standard Facilities (NSF), a Called Subscriber Identification (CSI), and a Digital Identification Signal (DIS) signal. At this time, the transmitting side transmits a non-standard set up (NSS), a transmitting subscriber identification (TSI), and a digital command sign (DCS) signal to the receiving side. The sender's telephone number is sent to the TSI. Therefore, the receiving side can know the calling party's telephone number by the TSI signal, and can recognize the receiving time, the receiving page, etc. by itself. In response, the receiving side sends a CFR (Confiramtion To Receive) signal to the transmitting side. The transmitting side transmits original image data to the receiving side in response to the CFR signal. At this time, when one page of image data is transmitted, an EOP (End of Page) signal is transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver. Then, when the receiving side transmits an MCF (Message Confirmation) signal in response to the EOP to the transmitting side, image data transmission and reception for one page is terminated, and the telephone line is switched as a DCN signal. The protocol as described above is performed to transmit and receive image data of the original. After the transmission and reception is performed, if the receiving side facsimile is set to the missed switching mode, the stored destination facsimile is called and the protocol proceeds as shown in Fig. 5. Send out the fax number, receiving time, and information on the receiving page of the fax that sent the document. The destination facsimile then analyzes the NSS or NSC signal and recognizes that there is a received message due to the destination switching, and prints the received message. You can check the contents of the document.

As described above, referring to the flowcharts of FIG. 2 and FIG.

First of all, in order to be notified to an out-of-office location that a document has been received from his / her facsimile, the user must set the out-of-office conversion mode by using a key on the OPE 30 of his / her facsimile. In operation 21, the CPU 10 checks whether a registration mode key signal is input from the OPE 30, and proceeds to step 22 when the registration mode key signal is input. In step 22, the central processing unit 10 displays a message indicating the telephone number input request on the display device of the OPE 30. At this time, when the user inputs the facsimile telephone number of the destination to go out using the OPE 30, the central processing unit 10 receives the destination telephone number in step 23 and proceeds to step 24. In step 24, the central processing unit 10 checks whether or not the destination telephone number input is completed. If the destination telephone number input is not finished, the central processing unit 10 returns to step 23 and continues to input the telephone number. However, if the input of the destination telephone number is completed in step 24, the input destination telephone number is stored in the memory unit 20.

As described above with reference to Fig. 3, the operation of notifying the receiving message by the facsimile of the destination when the document is received from the sending side by the receiving side facsimile from the sender after registering the destination telephone number is as follows.

When a ring signal according to a call from the outside is applied to the NCU 60 through a telephone line, the NCU 60 detects an input of a ring signal and notifies the central processing unit 10. Then, the CPU 10 checks whether there is a call signal in step 31. If there is no call signal, the CPU 10 performs another function. However, if there is a call signal in step 31, the process proceeds to step 32. The central processing unit 10 receives the image data of the original transmitted from the transmitting side, and proceeds to step 33. In step 33, the CPU 10 checks whether or not the reception of the original image data is completed. If the reception of the original image data is not completed, the CPU 10 returns to step 32 to continue receiving the original image data. However, if the reception of the original image data is completed in step 33, the process proceeds to step 34. When the CPU 10 checks whether the mode selection key on the OPE 30 is selected as the out of office mode, and if it is not selected as the out of office mode. End the program and go to step 35 if it is selected as the absent mode. In step 35, the central processing unit 10 reads and dials the destination fax telephone number stored in the memory unit 20, calls the destination fax where the user is located, and proceeds to step 35. In step 35, the central processing unit 10 proceeds with the protocol as shown in FIG. 5 at the time of the call. At this time, the sender's telephone number, receiving time, receiving page, etc. A message is sent to the destination facsimile to indicate the receipt of a document. In step 37, the central processing unit 10 checks whether the message transmission for notifying that the document has been received is terminated, and if the message transmission for notifying the document has not been completed, returns to step 36 and continues to transmit the received message. . However, if the transmission of the message for notifying the reception of the document in step 37 is completed, the program ends. At this point, the destination fax analyzes the NSS or NSC signal and prints a received message including a received telephone number, a received time, a received page, and the like, if a received message exists.

As described above, when the user of the receiving fax machine goes out, the telephone number of the destination that goes out is selected, and the mode selection key is selected as the missed call mode, indicating that the document is received when the document is received from the sending party. By receiving information such as telephone number, transmission time, transmission page, etc. by NSS or NSC protocol signal, it is possible to respond quickly to fax received documents and to deal with urgent business days efficiently. There is an advantage to improve the function of.
