[Industrial use]

The present invention relates to a communication terminal apparatus connected to a communication network via an information channel used for transmission of information such as circuit switched information or packet switched information and a signal channel used for call control for calling a communication destination. In particular, the present invention relates to a communication terminal apparatus configured to realize efficient communication processing based on proper identification of such information using subscriber numbers, sub-addresses, and the like, which are exchanged through a signal channel.

[Traditional Technology and Problems]

As a communication network, an information channel for exchange information transmission and a signal channel for control information transmission are separated, and for example, the control information is transmitted at any time independently of the audio information or the image information through the signal channel, or one signal channel. By controlling the plurality of information channels through, it is possible to comprehensively and efficiently perform various services, each having a different personality such as a telephone, a telex, or a facsimile. As one of such communication networks, an ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) has been known.

In this ISDN, the information channel is called B channel and the signal channel is called D channel. In particular, in the D channel, which is a signal channel, the identification information of the calling communication terminal is transmitted in parallel as the control information. Therefore, in the communication terminal of the called party, transmission information (voice information or image information) of the B channel is generated from any communication terminal based on the identification information of the call communication terminal transmitted through this D channel. You can see if it is. As the identification information, there is a subscriber number previously assigned to a subscriber to the communication network, and a secondary address arbitrarily set between these subscribers as additional information of the subscriber number. The sub address is information added to the subscriber number as necessary, for example, used to designate a specific communication terminal in any arbitrary terminal group (equipment in the subscriber's house) to which a common subscriber number is assigned.

By the way, according to such ISDN, it is possible to reliably and comprehensively implement the above-mentioned various services, and also to which D communication terminal, the communication terminal, etc. for the incoming call at each communication terminal is transmitted to the D channel. It can be recognized by the communication terminal of the called party (calling party) based on the identification information, but as a communication terminal connected to this ISDN, some currently use only the identification information for identification or identification of the calling party. The communication and processing related to the communication was performed by the operator separately through the operation panel and the like, and therefore, it was not always possible to efficiently use the whole communication network.

For example, (a) automatically transmitting exchange information transmitted from a specific communication terminal to another specific communication terminal, and (b) which subscriber (communication terminal) the calling party is the operator of the called party's communication terminal itself. (B) automatically setting a specific communication terminal to a specific operation mode irrespective of the communication protocol, or (d) when the called terminal's communication terminal is in a non-communicable state, Automatically sending a message to the calling communication terminal at the time when the condition is avoided, (e) setting an arbitrary incoming condition using the identification information, and based on the existence of this condition By performing arbitrary call control, the improvement of the subscriber interface as a communication terminal device is further improved, and furthermore, the communication efficiency as a whole communication network is improved. Although to achieve a use form which is very significant, present in some communication terminal apparatus has a problem, even if this is how it is connected to the ISDN that is not fully realized.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and in particular, in a communication network having separate information channel for exchange information transmission and signal channel for control information transmission, it is excellent in subscriber interface and greatly improves communication efficiency. An object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal device that can contribute.

Specifically, the exchange information transmitted from the specific communication terminal can be effectively and automatically transmitted to the other specific communication terminal, and the operator himself or herself of the called party's communication terminal can immediately identify which subscriber (communication terminal) the calling party is. The identification information can be used to automatically set a specific communication terminal to a specific operation mode irrespective of the communication protocol, and when the called terminal's communication terminal is in an uncommunicable state, the state is avoided. Can automatically generate any message indicating the purpose to the calling communication terminal, and can set any incoming condition using identification information and perform arbitrary incoming control based on the existence of this condition. It is an object to provide a terminal device.

[Configuration and Function of Invention]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, basically, predetermined one to a plurality of pieces of identification information can be registered in advance in the memory (first memory), and this is also appropriate for the incoming identification information. ) And temporarily execute predetermined control when identification information matching the identification information temporarily stored in the second memory is registered in the first memory by matching these identification information with each other. The communication terminal device on the side does not require any operation by the operator, and any desired control is automatically executed, thereby enabling efficient use as the communication terminal device.

In addition, the present invention includes a memory (third memory) in which the exchange information transmitted through the information channel is temporarily stored, and other identification information is also stored in advance in correspondence with the identification information registered in the first memory. Fourth identification), and when identification information matching the identification information temporarily stored in the second memory is registered in the first memory, the identification information temporarily stored in the second memory under the predetermined control. The identification information in the fourth memory which is registered corresponding to the matched identification information in the first memory is automatically called while storing the exchange information transmitted in correspondence with the third memory. These memories and the number of controls can be executed by allowing the belonging communication terminal apparatus to execute a control for automatically retransmitting the stored information to the third memory. The art communication terminal apparatus, it is possible to send the called side information automatically without the need any manipulation by the operator to a desired called with.

In addition, according to the present invention, in addition to providing appropriate display means, auxiliary information such as a business name or a name for each corresponding subscriber is also stored in the memory (a fifth memory) in correspondence with the identification information registered in the first memory. When the identification information corresponding to the identification information temporarily stored in the second memory is registered in the first memory, registration is performed corresponding to the matched identification information in the first memory as the predetermined control. By carrying out the control of reading the auxiliary information which has been read from the fifth memory and displaying the read auxiliary information on the display means, the operator of the communication terminal apparatus promptly receives the subscriber of the calling party when there is any incoming call. You can check it.

In the present invention, mode information indicating one to a plurality of operation modes of the communication terminal apparatus can be registered in advance in the memory (sixth memory) in correspondence with the information content of part or all of the identification information, particularly the address information. When identification information matching the identification information temporarily stored in the second memory is registered in the first memory, mode information corresponding to each corresponding sub-address information is read out from the sixth memory as the predetermined control.

As the number of the subscriber (facsimile apparatus) of the desired transfer destination of the image data to be input, respectively, for example, based on an appropriate guide display on the display 22, a plurality of numbers are respectively entered as these subscriber numbers. In the case of registration, for each image data to be transferred, the subscriber number on the calling party and the subscriber number on the transfer destination have a predetermined relationship with each other such that the same or related address data is used in the ID memories 44 and 45. It is stored in a.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the operation of the device of this embodiment based on the function of the first expansion unit 40 described above (mainly a program registered in the data transmission program memory 41). With reference to Fig. 2, the mechanism for transmitting image data by the apparatus of this embodiment will be described in detail.

Now, suppose that the transmission to the first embodiment device shown in FIG. 1 is performed by another communication terminal (not shown facsimile apparatus) connected to the ISDN network. Example A signal (call signal) for calling a device is sent to the ISDN network. This call signal usually includes a number indicating a subscriber number previously assigned to the communication terminal of the calling party (calling party).

The call signal sent to the ISDN network in this way is received by the communication network control unit 11 of the apparatus of the first embodiment as an incoming signal via the ISDN line (D channel). When the incoming signal is received by the communication network controller 11, it is received by the communication network controller 11 of the apparatus of the first embodiment. When the incoming signal is received by the communication network control unit 11, the apparatus of the first embodiment performs the processing of the form listed below based on the recognition of the incoming call by the central control unit 1 (FIG. 2, step 101). It starts.

(1) The central control unit 1, upon recognizing that there is an incoming call based on the incoming report from the communication network control unit 11, receives the subscriber number of the calling communication terminal through the communication network control unit 11 in response to the incoming signal. It is determined whether is included in (step 2102).

(2) When it is determined that the subscriber number is not included as a result of this determination, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the first embodiment to perform a normal incoming call response. That is, in this case, the image data transmitted corresponding to the incoming signal is appropriately demodulated by the normal control unit 12, and then transmitted to the image buffer processing unit 37, and then recorded on the recording paper through the recording unit 35 ( Step 103 of Figure 2).

(3) When it is determined in step 102 of FIG. 2 that the incoming signal includes the subscriber number of the calling party, the central controller 1 receives the subscriber included in the incoming signal through the register controller 43. FIG. The number is set (stored) in the ID register 42 (step 104 in FIG. 2). At this time, when another subscriber number by the last incoming call is set in this ID register 42, the previous subscriber number is updated by the newly received number. However, this is not the case when the stored contents are cleared each time the ID register 42 terminates the processing at that time.

(4) The central processing unit 1 then checks whether or not the subscriber number for specifying the calling party is registered in the calling party ID memory 44 (step 105 in FIG. 2).

(5) As a result of this confirmation, when the subscriber number is not registered, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the first embodiment to perform a normal incoming call response as in the above (2). Accordingly, the image data transmitted in correspondence with the incoming signal is appropriately demodulated through the communication control unit 12, then transmitted to the image buffer processing unit 37, and then recorded on the recording paper via the recording unit 35 (second Step 103 of Fig. 3, this recording operation is performed in the same manner as described above.

(6) In the case where it is determined that the subscriber number for specifying the calling party is registered in the calling party ID memory 44 as a result of the checking (step 105 in FIG. 2), the central controller 1 performs the memory controller 46. Then, one subscriber number is read out from the calling party ID memory 44, and the read subscriber number is compared with the subscriber number set in the ID register 42 (step 106 of FIG. 2).

(7) In the case where it is determined that the change does not match (step 107 in FIG. 2), the central control unit 1 is provided that the subscriber number is registered in addition to the calling party ID memory 44 ( Step 108 of FIG. 2) Repeats the process (6) above (step 106 of FIG. 2), and all of the subscriber numbers registered in the calling party ID memory 44 coincide with the subscriber numbers set in the ID register 42. If it is determined not to be performed, the apparatus of the embodiment is controlled so as to perform a normal incoming call response as in the above (2) (step 103 of FIG. 2).

(8) When the result of the check (step 106 in FIG. 2) determines that the numbers match (step 107 in FIG. 2), the central control unit 1 performs the incoming response and then the communication network control unit 11 and the communication control unit ( Control is performed so that the image data inputted via 12) is stored in the image memory 2 (step 109 in FIG. 2).

(9) When the input image data is stored and received in the image memory 2, i.e., when the matching subscriber number is registered in the calling party ID memory 44, the centralized child control unit 1 Correspondingly, the subscriber number registered in the transfer destination ID memory 45 is read out through the memory controller 46, and the read subscriber number (subscriber number of the desired transfer destination) is transferred to the communication control unit 12 and the communication network control unit 11. Call through (step 110 of FIG. 2).

(10) When the call processing enables information exchange with the other party (call originator, called party) communication terminal (facsimile apparatus), the central control unit 1 lastly stores the image data stored in the image memory 2 above. Is transmitted to the counterpart communication terminal newly in the communication state (step 111 of FIG. 2). Of course, such data transmission is also performed through the communication control unit 12 and the communication network control unit 11 constituting the communication unit 10.

By the above processing by the apparatus of the first embodiment, it is possible to realize automatic transmission of image data between specific communication terminals using the apparatus of the first embodiment as a relay terminal. That is, if an arbitrary number is registered in advance to the caller ID memory 44 and the transfer destination ID memory 45, the communication terminal (facsimile apparatus) of these registered numbers will be used in this embodiment apparatus even if the operator is absent. Since the image data can be transmitted satisfactorily therebetween, these communication terminals can be used more flexibly.

Further, in the apparatus of the first embodiment, the call processing of (9) and the data transfer processing of (10) above are performed while the image data is stored in the image memory 2 while the image data is received. B channel) may be executed in parallel, or may be started separately after communication with the called party (calling terminal) ends.

In the above example, when a plurality of subscriber numbers are registered in the calling party ID memory 44 and the transfer destination ID memory 45, respectively, the processing is performed through the processing of steps 106, 107, and 108 shown in FIG. Although the subscriber numbers are read one by one and compared and contrasted, the important thing is that all of the registered subscriber numbers need to be collated, and the control method of reading these subscriber numbers through the memory controller 46 is the above. It is not limited to the manner of. In other words, in this comparison control processing, all registered subscriber numbers may be collected and read simultaneously in a register (not shown) built in the central control unit 1.

Moreover, in the above example, only the subscriber number is used as identification information (ID) for specifying the communication terminal. However, in such a communication network, the subaddress is transmitted together with the subscriber number of the calling party. It is also possible to use the secondary address as an electrode as identification information (ID) for specifying the communication terminal. That is, in this case, the ID register 42 is also temporarily stored in parallel with the incoming subscriber number, and the subsidiary is assigned to the calling party ID memory 44 in parallel with the subscriber number specifying the calling party's communication terminal. The address is registered in advance, and when there is an incoming call, the above-mentioned automatic data transfer processing is executed on the condition that both the subscriber number and the sub address match. In addition, the identification information (ID) registered in the transfer destination ID memory 45 may be a subscriber number or a subaddress may be added. However, if the subaddress is added at least, the desired data transfer destination communication terminal can be more accurately. It can be specified.

The number of identification information (ID; subscriber number) registered in correspondence with the calling party ID memory 44 and the transfer destination ID memory 45, respectively, whether or not to add a sub dress, is [1: plural]. ] Or [plural: 1] may be registered. In this case, when these identification information (ID) are registered and set with respect to "calling side = 1" as "destination = plural", the image data transmitted from one calling party communication terminal is simultaneously or time-lapsed ( One call when the identification information (ID) is registered to a plurality of desired transmission destination communication terminals, and the " transmission destination = 1 " Image data transmitted separately from the side communication terminal are then transmitted to one desired transfer destination communication terminal at that time.

Incidentally, in the above example, the caller ID memory 44 and the transfer destination ID memory 45 are both described based on the premise that they are built-in memory of the facsimile apparatus assumed as the first embodiment apparatus. As described above, one or both of these calling party ID memories 44 and the destination ID memories 45 may be external memories that can be freely connected to and disconnected from the facsimile apparatus main body, such as an IC card. With such an external memory, it is possible to freely carry information of the calling party and the transfer destination relating to the data transfer, and it is possible to record such information regardless of the place with a simple IC card recording apparatus. In addition, it is very important to actively convert these memories into external memories in that they can be used more flexibly as communication terminals.

(8) When the result of the check (step 207 in FIG. 4) determines that the numbers match (step 208 in FIG. 4), the central controller 1 responds to the auxiliary information memory 55 in response to the corresponding subscriber number. Auxiliary information of the subscriber registered in < Desc / Clms Page number 12 > is read out through the memory controller 56, and the read assistance information is displayed on the display 22 via the console controller 23 (step 206 in FIG. 4). After that, the subscriber number set in the ID register 52 is also displayed on the display 22 through the console control unit 23 (step 206 in FIG. 4) as in the above (5). The example apparatus is controlled to perform (step 203 of FIG. 4).

By the processing by the apparatus of the second embodiment, the business name of the calling party subscriber, the name or a memo about the subscriber is automatically displayed on the display 22 at the same time as the incoming call. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly manage the incoming processing by eliminating the inconveniences that have occurred since the incoming communication of the exchange information, that is, entering the communication state and confirming the counterpart.

Also in the apparatus in the second embodiment,

호출측 ID메모리(54)에 등록되어 있는 모든 가입자번호에 대한 대조가 실행되지만 하면 좋고, 메모리제어부(56)를 통해 이들 가입자번호를 읽어들이는 제어의 방식은 상기한 방식에 한정되지 않는다는 것,

It is only necessary to perform a check against all subscriber numbers registered in the calling party ID memory 54, and the control method of reading these subscriber numbers via the memory control unit 56 is not limited to the above-described method,

상기 부어드레스를 상기 호출측 통신단말을 특정하기 위한 식별정보로서 적극적으로 이용할 수도 있다는 것,

The sub-dress may be actively used as identification information for specifying the call side communication terminal,

One or both of the calling party ID memory 54 and the auxiliary information memory 55 may be an external memory that can be freely connected to and disconnected from the communication terminal apparatus (facsimile apparatus), such as an IC card. The same applies to the case of the device of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

5 shows a communication terminal device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Also in this third embodiment, the ISDN network described above is assumed as a communication network for convenience, and a facsimile apparatus is assumed as the communication terminal device.

As shown in FIG. 5, this apparatus of the third embodiment has a central control unit 1 which performs overall control of the apparatus of the embodiment, and image data as necessary under the management of the central control unit 1. As shown in FIG. Is temporarily stored in the image memory 2, the communication unit 10 for executing control and management mainly related to the communication of the apparatus of the present embodiment, and the console unit 20 for exchanging data and information between subscribers (operators). ), An image processing unit 30 which executes image processing such as reading or recording image data as a facsimile apparatus, and an image processing unit 30 which executes image processing such as recording as the apparatus of this embodiment together with the functions of these units. And a third expansion unit 60 for realizing the operation mode automatic selection processing to be described later as the embodiment apparatus as well as the functions of these units. Since portions other than the third extension part 60 are the same as those of the first embodiment device shown in FIG. 1 or the second embodiment device shown in FIG. 3, the third expansion part ( The configuration and the function of 60) will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5, the third expansion unit 60 includes a mode automatic selection program memory 61 in which processing instructions for the central controller 1 for realizing the operation mode automatic selection processing described below are programmed in advance. ) And the ID register 62 and the instructions from the central control unit 1 which temporarily store the subscriber number or the subscriber number and its auxiliary address as identification information in the signal received by the communication unit 10. A register control unit 63 which controls reading and writing of data (subscriber number) relating to the ID register 62 based on the subscriber number as identification information and calling party communication terminal with respect to the subscriber number as identification information (subscriber number). Calling side ID memory 64, in which the one or more pieces of information specifying the communication terminal itself and the selected operation mode (preferred address), and the sub-address (in this embodiment, On the basis of instructions from the operation mode memory 65 and the central control unit 1, in which information indicating an operation mode that can be selected in the communication terminal itself (in this embodiment device) is registered in advance. The memory controller 66 is configured to control the reading and writing of data relating to the memories 64 and 65.

Here, the relationship between the subscriber number to be processed in this third embodiment and the sub address which is the additional information and the relationship between the sub address and the operation mode will be described with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, respectively.

First, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the subscriber number is identification information of a predetermined length allocated in advance for the subscriber to the communication network. In other words, this subscriber number is not of a nature that the subscriber can freely change its contents.

On the other hand, the peer address is identification information that can be freely selected and set among subscribers to the communication network. In general, when there are a plurality of communication terminals assigned the same subscriber number, any one of these communication terminals cannot be specified only by the subscriber number. It is often used as so-called "terminal identification information" for specifying one more.

Thus, in this third embodiment, by using this property of the sub dress, the function identification information for specifying the sub dress, for example, the operation mode as shown in Fig. 6B, and the communication terminal are specified. For example, the terminal can be divided into "terminal identification information", and the operation mode specified by the former "functional identification information" can be identified.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the relationship between such "functional identification information" and its designated operation mode. In this example, "functional identification information = 01" is referred to as "modern broadcast" as an operation mode. To specify so-called "remote multiple copy" as the operation mode. The case of these is shown. That is, in this third embodiment, when the operation mode is designated by "functional identification information" among the sub-dresses, the apparatus identifies the designated operation mode so that the corresponding operation mode is automatically executed.

In addition, the subscriber number registered in the caller ID memory 64 and its sub-addresses include a communication terminal capable of designating a transition to the operation mode of the apparatus of the embodiment, a communication terminal itself (apparatus in that embodiment), In the present embodiment, the operation mode registered in the operation mode memory 65 in the format shown in Figs. 6A and 6B as number information for specifying the operation modes that can be automatically executed, respectively. The information is information indicating an operation mode corresponding to each of the "functional identification information" of the subdresses, for example, in the form shown in FIG. 7, respectively, for example, inputted through the keyboard 21 on the basis of an appropriate display on the display 22. In the case where a plurality of pieces of information are registered as the identification information and the operation mode information, the identification information (ID; subscriber number and pour) for the subscriber or operation mode to be registered. To less) and operation mode information, such that the same or a related address data is used in the memory (54 and 55) are each other enclosure made of a predetermined relationship.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the operation of the apparatus of the embodiment based on the function of the third expansion unit 60 (mainly a program registered in the mode automatic selection program memory 61). See FIG. 8 below. The operation mode automatic selection mechanism by the apparatus of the third embodiment will now be described in detail.

Now, if the transmission to the third embodiment device shown in Fig. 5 is performed by another communication terminal (not shown facsimile apparatus) connected to the ISDN network, the third communication is first performed from the originating communication terminal. Example A signal (call signal) for calling a device is sent to the ISDN network. This call signal usually includes information indicating subscriber information pre-assigned to the communication terminal of the calling party (calling party) or a secondary address as its additional information.

The call signal transmitted to the ISDN network in this way is received by the communication network control unit 11 in the device of the present embodiment as an incoming signal via the ISDN line (D channel), and when the incoming signal is received by the communication network control unit 11, In the third embodiment, the apparatus starts processing based on the recognition of the incoming call by the central control unit 1 (step 301 in FIG. 8).

(1) When the central control unit 1 recognizes that there is an incoming call based on the incoming report from the communication network control unit 11, the central control unit 1 transmits the subscriber number of the calling communication terminal to the incoming signal through the communication network control unit 11. It is determined whether or not is included (step 302 of FIG. 8).

(2) As a result of this determination, when the subscriber number is not included, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform normal incoming processing (step 303 in FIG. 8). The setting of the control condition in this case is arbitrary, and of course, the incoming call rejection process (step 309 of FIG. 8) described later may be selected.

(3) As a result of the determination (step 302 in FIG. 8), when the incoming signal includes the subscriber number of the calling party, the central control unit 1 receives the subscriber number included in the incoming signal through the register control unit 63; Is set (stored) in the ID register 62 (step 304 in FIG. 8). At this time, if another subscriber number by the last incoming call is set in this ID register 62, the previous subscriber number is updated by the newly received number. However, this is not the case when the stored contents are cleared each time the ID register 62 finishes the processing at that time. If a paired address is added to the received subscriber number, the paired address is also set in the ID register 62 in parallel.

(4) The central control unit 1 then checks whether or not the subscriber number for specifying the calling party is registered in the calling party ID memory 64 (step 305 in FIG. 8).

(5) If it is determined that the subscriber number is not registered as a result of this confirmation, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform normal incoming processing as in the above (2) (Fig. 8). Step 303).

(6) When it is determined that the subscriber number for specifying the calling party is registered in the calling party ID memory 64 as a result of the checking (step 305 in FIG. 8), the central controller 1 performs the memory controller 66. And reads one of them from the calling party ID memory 64 and compares the read subscriber number with the subscriber number set in the ID register 62 (step 306 in FIG. 8).

(7) As a result of this check, if it is determined that the subscriber numbers do not match (step 307 in FIG. 8), the central control unit 1 is provided with the condition that subscriber numbers are registered in the caller ID memory 64 in addition. (Step 308 of FIG. 8) Repeating the process (6) (Step 306 of FIG. 8) repeats all subscriber numbers registered in the calling party ID memory 64, and the subscriber number is set in the ID register 62. FIG. If it is judged to be inconsistent with the control method, the apparatus in the embodiment is controlled to perform an incoming call rejection process for rejecting the incoming call information (step 309 of FIG. 8).

(8) When it is determined that the numbers match (step 307 in FIG. 8) as a result of the check (step 306 in FIG. 8), the central control unit 1 refers to the contents of the ID register 62 to the subscriber number. It is checked whether or not a boodress is added (step 310 of FIG. 8).

(9) When it is determined that this confirmation pass and no additional address are added, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform the normal incoming call processing as in the above (2) or (5). (Step 303 of FIG. 8).

(10) When it is determined that the sub dress is added as a result of the checking (step 310 in FIG. 8), the central control unit 1 is registered in the calling party ID memory 64 in correspondence with the matching subscriber number. The sub address is read out through the memory controller 66 to confirm whether the read sub address matches the sub address set in the ID register 62 (step 311 in FIG. 8).

(11) When it is determined that the pour dress is not matched as a result of this check, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform call rejection processing as in the above (7) (step 309 of FIG. 8). .

(12) In the case where the result of the check (step 311 of FIG. 8) determines that the pour dress is matched, the central controller 1 first performs an incoming call processing according to a predetermined transmission control procedure (step 312 of FIG. 8), The operation mode indicated by the read operation mode information by reading the operation mode information registered in the operation mode memory 65 in correspondence with the "function identification information" of the matching address. The apparatus of the embodiment is controlled to automatically transition to (step 313 in FIG. 8).

By the above processing by the apparatus of the third embodiment, remote control by a specific communication terminal (communication terminal registered in the calling side ID memory 64) in which the apparatus of the third embodiment is the control target terminal or the relay terminal. Can be realized.

That is, if an arbitrary number and information are registered in advance in the caller ID memory 64 and the operation mode memory 65, the apparatus of this embodiment will then be assigned to the communication terminals of these registered numbers even if the operator is absent. As a result, all of the processing in these registered operation modes is performed automatically, so that the flexibility of these communication terminals can be further improved and efficient use can be achieved. In addition, since such remote control is performed irrespective of the communication protocol, the operation mode automatic selection process according to this embodiment can also be effectively applied to communication terminal devices between heterogeneous manufacturers having different levels of use of the communication protocol. .

In addition, in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the operation mode automatic selection process is executed under the conditions that match up to the boodress as shown in step 311 (process in (10) above). In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, as long as the incoming signal has a pour address (step 310 in FIG. 9) under the condition that the subscriber number is matched (step 307 in FIG. 9), the call processing according to a predetermined transmission control procedure (Step 312 of FIG. 9), and if the operation mode information corresponding to the " functional identification information " of the sub-dress is registered in the operation mode memory 65, the registered operation mode information is stored in the memory control unit ( 66 may be automatically read to the operation mode indicated by the read operation mode information (step 314 of FIG. 9).

Also in the apparatus of the third embodiment,

호출측 ID메모리(64)에 등록되어 있는 모든 가입자번호에 대한 대조가 실행되기만 하면 좋고, 메모리제어부(66)를 통해 이들 가입자번호를 읽어들이는 제어의 방식은 상기의 방식에 한정되지 않는다는 것,

It is only necessary to perform a check against all subscriber numbers registered in the calling party ID memory 64, and the way of controlling the reading of these subscriber numbers via the memory control unit 66 is not limited to the above method.

호출측 ID메모리(64)와 동작모드메모리(65)의 한쪽 또는 양쪽은 IC카드 등과 같이 그 통신단말장치(팩시밀리장치)본체에 대해 자유로이 접속·분리시킬 수 있는 외부메모리라도 좋다는 것 등은 앞의 실시예 장치의 경우와 마찬가지이다.

One or both of the calling party ID memory 64 and the operation mode memory 65 may be an external memory that can be freely connected to and disconnected from the communication terminal (facsimile device), such as an IC card. Example The same as in the case of the device.

10 shows a configuration of a communication terminal device according to the device in the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Also in this fourth embodiment, the ISDN network is assumed as a communication network for convenience, and a facsimile apparatus is assumed as the communication terminal device.

As shown in FIG. 10, this fourth embodiment apparatus has a central control (1) which performs overall control of the embodiment apparatus as large as possible, and image data is managed as necessary under the management of the central control unit (1). An image memory 2 temporarily stored, a communication unit 10 which mainly performs control and processing relating to communication of the apparatus in this embodiment, and a console unit 20 for exchanging data and information between subscribers (operators). Image processing unit 30 for performing image processing such as reading or recording of image data as a facsimile apparatus, and a fourth expansion unit for realizing a return message transfer process to be described later as the apparatus of this embodiment in addition to the functions of these units ( 70). Since portions other than the fourth expansion portion 70 are the same as those of the above-described respective embodiments, the configuration and function of the fourth expansion portion 70 will be mainly described below.

As shown in FIG. 10, the fourth expansion unit 70 includes a return message transfer program memory 71 in which a processing instruction for the central controller 1 for the return message transfer process described below is programmed in advance; When the subscriber number is included as the identification signal ID in the signal received by the communication unit 10, the ID register 72 and the central control unit 1, which temporarily store the identification number ID, are based on instructions from the central control unit 1; A register control unit 73 which performs read / write control of data (number) related to the ID resist 72, and the identification information received when the apparatus in this embodiment is in a communication unavailable state, i.e., the ID register 72 temporarily. Reading / receiving of data on the calling party ID memory 74 based on instructions from the calling party ID memory 74 and the central control unit 1 in which stored subscriber numbers (identification information ID) are temporarily stored. Memory control to perform recording control (75) For example, the message memory 76 and the recording unit 35, which have previously stored document information indicating a return message of the contents as shown in FIG. 11, are always stored to detect whether or not the recording paper has been consumed. A recording sheet sensor 77 is provided.

In addition, in the return message shown in FIG. 11, the description is input through the keyboard 21 based on, for example, a proper indication to the display 22, and in particular, a description item regarding time is transmitted at the time of transmission. It is automatically filled in via the central control unit 1 (usually with a built-in clock).

FIG. 12 shows an example of the operation of the device according to the embodiment based on the function of the fourth expansion unit 70 (mainly a program registered in the return message transmission program memory 71). See FIG. 12 below. The return message transmission mechanism by the fourth embodiment apparatus will now be described in detail.

Now, if transmission is performed to the fourth embodiment device shown in FIG. 10 by another communication terminal (not shown facsimile apparatus) connected to the ISDN network, the fourth communication is first performed from the originating communication terminal. Example A signal (call signal) for calling a device is sent to the ISDN network. This call signal usually contains information indicating a subscriber number previously assigned to the communication terminal of the calling party (calling party).

In this way, the call signal sent to the ISDN network is received by the communication network control unit 11 of the device of the present embodiment as an incoming signal via the ISDN line (D channel).

On the other hand, the central control unit 1 executes the normal facsimile operation routine under the situation that the detection signal indicating the state where the recording paper is consumed from the recording paper sensor 77 is not output (step 401, step 402 of FIG. 12). In this state, when the incoming signal is received, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform a normal incoming response. That is, in this case, the image data transmitted in response to the incoming signal is appropriately demodulated through the communication control unit 12, and then transmitted to the image buffer processing unit 37, and then recorded on the recording sheet through the recording unit 35. .

However, in a state in which a detection signal indicating a state where all the recording paper is consumed from the recording paper sensor 77 is output, that is, in the state where the apparatus (facsimile apparatus) of this embodiment is in a non-communicable state, the communication network as described above. When the incoming signal is received by the control unit 11, the apparatus starts processing in the form described below based on the recognition of the incoming call by the central control unit 1 (step 403 in FIG. 12). In addition, when the state where all the recording paper is exhausted is detected in this way, the central control part 1 displays the effect on the display 22 via the console control part 23, and simultaneously gives a notification to an operator, Based on this notification, a recovery operation such as replenishing the recording sheet is performed quickly.

In addition, the process by a 4th Example apparatus performed in parallel with this is as follows.

(1) When the central control unit 1 recognizes that an incoming call has been received based on the incoming report from the communication network control unit 11, the central control unit 1 transmits the subscriber number of the calling party communication terminal to the incoming signal through the communication network control unit 11. Is determined to be included in the ID register 72 by the register control unit 73 (step 404 in FIG. 12). At this time, if another subscriber number by the last incoming call is set in the ID register 72, the previous subscriber number is updated with the newly received number. However, this is not the case when the contents of the ID register 72 are cleared every time the processing at that time ends.

(2) The central controller 1 next registers and stores the subscriber number set in the ID register 72 in the calling party ID memory 74 through the memory controller 75 (step 405 in FIG. 12).

(3) In the meantime, the central control unit 1 continues to monitor whether the recovery operation is completed based on the detection output by the recording sensor 77 or the job completion report by the operator via the keyboard 21 or the like. At the same time, it is judged whether or not the communication is made possible, that is, in the reception possible state (step 406 of FIG. 12). In this case, when there are calls and incoming calls from a plurality of callers while in a state where communication is impossible, the process of (1) and (2) is repeated each time, and a plurality of subscriber numbers are stored in the caller ID memory. Register at 74.

(4) In the judgment (step 406 of FIG. 12), when it is determined that the reception is possible, the central control unit 1 stores the subscriber number registered in the caller ID memory 74, and the memory control unit 75. In addition to reading out one by one, the read subscriber number is called through the communication unit 10, and the call processing is performed to exchange information with a communication terminal (facsimile apparatus) of the other party (calling side, called side). After being able to be in a ready state, the return message information stored in the message memory 76 is read out and transmitted to the counterpart communication terminal which is newly in a communication state (step 407 in FIG. 12).

By the above processing of the fourth embodiment apparatus, the returned return message is received and recorded by the counterpart communication terminal (facsimile apparatus) via a normal operation routine.

Accordingly, the counterpart communication terminal can immediately know that the device of the embodiment is returned to the communicable state by the received and recorded message, so that the countermeasure can be taken at any time thereafter. On the other hand, in comparison with the conventional one, which had to perform the call operation again without knowing when the recovery was made, the useless operation or the waiting time can be greatly reduced, and therefore, no nerve is consumed.

In addition, in the above embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the conditions that can be made into a non-communicable state are limited to a state where all of the recording papers are consumed. Of course, it may include.

In the above embodiment, if only the caller's subscriber number is included in the incoming signal, the above-described return message transmission service is executed. The subscriber number may be separately registered, and the above-mentioned return message transfer service may be executed only for the calling party's communication terminal of the registered subscriber number.

13 shows a communication terminal device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. Also in this fifth embodiment, the ISDN network is assumed as a communication network for convenience, and a facsimile device is assumed as the communication terminal device.

The apparatus of the fifth embodiment is, as shown in FIG. 13, largely the central control unit 1 which performs overall control of the apparatus of the embodiment, and image data as necessary under the management of the central control unit 1. Is temporarily stored in the image memory 2, mainly the communication unit 10 for executing control and processing related to the communication of the apparatus and the console unit 20 for exchanging data and information between subscribers (operators). ), An image processing unit 30 which performs image processing such as reading or recording image data as a facsimile apparatus, and a fifth expansion unit which realizes the reception condition management to be described later as the apparatus of this embodiment together with the functions of the gain units. 80). Since portions other than the fifth extension portion 80 are the same as those of the above-described respective embodiments, the configuration and function of the fifth extension portion 80 will be mainly described below.

As shown in FIG. 13, the fifth expansion unit 80 includes a reception condition management program memory 81 in which processing instructions for the central control unit 1 for realizing the reception condition management described below are programmed in advance. If the subscriber number is included as identification information (ID) in the signal received from the communication unit 10, the ID register 82 for temporarily storing the identification information ID and the command from the central control unit 1 are used. A register control unit 83 which performs read / write control of the data register relating to the ID register 82 based on the above, and any one to a plurality of caller-specific communication terminals for the subscriber number as the identification information (ID). Memory control unit 85 for performing reading and writing control of data relating to the calling party ID memory 84 based on instructions from the calling party ID memory 84 and the central controller 1 whose numbers are registered in advance if necessary. ), Through the console unit 20 A timer 86 for executing a time operation based on the timer time to be set, and a set flag 87 set or reset based on a predetermined control by the central controller 1 as an indicator for incoming call condition management. It is equipped with.

Here, the subscriber number registered in the calling party ID memory 84 is one to a plurality of specific calling party subscriber numbers which allow or reject the incoming call. The timer time inputted through 21 and set in the timer 86 is an effective time for setting an incoming signal (permission or rejection of incoming call) related to an incoming call from this particular calling party. Is input via the keyboard 21 on the basis of an appropriate indication to the keyboard.

The set flag 87 is an index indicating whether or not the setting of the incoming condition is valid by the subscriber number registered in these calling party ID memories 84 and the timer time set in the timer 86. The set or reset is controlled by the central control unit 1 based on the flag management routine shown in FIG.

Incidentally, the central control unit 1 performs the following control as this flag management routine.

(1) The subscriber number is registered in the caller ID memory 84 (step 501 in FIG. 14), and the timer time is set for the timer 86 (step 502 in FIG. 14). Based on the AND condition, the set flag 87 is set (step 503 in FIG. 14).

(2) When the subscriber number registered in the calling party ID memory 84 is deleted within the timer time, i.e., the registration of the subscriber number specifying the sending side is released (step 504 in FIG. 14), or the timer When a time signal indicating a timer up from 86 is output (step 505 in FIG. 14), the set flag 87 is put into a lit state (step 506 in FIG. 14).

FIG. 15 shows an example of the operation of the device according to the embodiment based on the function of the fifth expansion unit 80 (mainly a program registered in the incoming condition management program memory 81). See FIG. 15 below. The reception condition management mechanism by the embodiment apparatus will be described in detail.

Now, if the transmission to the fifth embodiment device shown in Fig. 13 is performed by another communication terminal (not shown facsimile apparatus) connected to the ISDN network, the fifth communication is first performed from the outgoing communication terminal. Example A signal (call signal) for calling a device is sent to the ISDN network. This call signal usually includes information indicating a subscriber number previously assigned to the communication terminal of the calling party (calling party).

The call signal transmitted to the ISDN network in this way is received by the communication network control unit 11 in the device of the present embodiment as an incoming signal via the ISDN line (D channel), and the incoming signal is received by the communication network control unit 11. In the fifth embodiment, based on the recognition of the incoming call by the central control unit 1 (step 511 of FIG. 15), the processing of the form listed below is started.

(1) When the central control unit 1 recognizes that there is an incoming call based on the incoming report from the communication network control unit 11, it first checks whether the set flag 87 is in the set state (Fig. 15). Step 512).

(2) As a result of this check, when it is determined that the set flag 87 is not set, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform normal incoming processing (step 513 in Fig. 15). ).

(3) When it is determined that the set flag 87 is set as a result of the checking (step 512 of FIG. 15), the central controller 1 communicates the incoming call signal to the incoming signal through the communication network controller 11; It is determined whether the subscriber number of the terminal is included (step 514 of FIG. 15).

(4) As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the subscriber number is not included, the central control unit 1 controls the apparatus of the embodiment to perform an incoming call rejection process that refuses to receive the incoming signal (15th). Step 515).

(5) As a result of the determination (step 514 of FIG. 15), when it is determined that the incoming signal includes the subscriber number of the calling party, the central control unit 1 is included in the incoming signal through the register control unit 83; The subscriber number is set (stored) in the ID register 82 (step 516 of FIG. 15). At this time, when another subscriber number by the last incoming call is set in the ID register 82, the previous subscriber number that is set is updated with the newly received number. However, this is not the case when the stored contents are cleared each time the ID register 82 is finished at that time.

(6) The central control unit 1 then reads one of the subscriber numbers from the calling party ID memory 84 via the memory control unit 85, and sets the read subscriber number and the ID register 82. The subscriber number is compared and compared (step 517 of FIG. 15).

(7) When it is determined that the numbers do not match as a result of this check (step 518 in FIG. 15), the central control unit 1 is provided with a condition that other subscriber numbers are registered in the caller ID memory 84 as well. (Step 519 of FIG. 15) repeating the process (6) (step 517 of FIG. 15) repeating the subscriber numbers registered in the calling party ID memory 84 in the ID register 82 If it is determined that the numbers do not match, the apparatus in this embodiment is controlled to perform call rejection processing in the same manner as in (4) (step 515 in FIG. 15).

(8) If the result of the check (step 517 of FIG. 15) determines that the numbers match (step 518 of FIG. 15), the central control unit 1 normally receives the data as a transmission from the calling party that has accepted the call. The apparatus of this embodiment is controlled to perform the processing (step 513 of FIG. 15).
