Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure the secrecy of a document by providing a data identification section identifying a read data from an original read section and a control section controlling the facsimile equipment so as to read a required code signal based on a data from the identification section and to add the signal and to send the resulting signal. CONSTITUTION:An invoice 10 is given to the head of an original to be sent and the resulting original is given to a facsimile equipment. The invoice has a code 11 representing the invoice, a code 12 representing a confidential document, a name of destination (such as name in KANA (Japanese syllabary)) 13 and a guide message 14 of the invoice respectively. The invoice is read by a document read section 3, a data identification section 4 identifies respectively the invoice code 11, the confidential document code 12 and the name 13 in KANA and the invoice is sent via a control section 1 prior to the transmission of the text data. Thus, the secrecy of the document is secured.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and in particular, it has a facsimile machine that has a security feature in which transmitted information is printed out by inputting required data on the receiving side. related to facsimile machines.

``Prior Art'' Facsimile machines have been widespread and used in many fields. However, with these facsimile machines, transmitted documents, etc. are printed out immediately on the receiving side, so 8! There were problems with transmitting confidential documents, etc.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' This invention solves the difficulty of maintaining confidentiality due to the conventional method of printing out a signal immediately after receiving it on the receiving side.
By adding confidential data to the document being transmitted on the sending side, the receiving side can maintain the confidentiality of the document by prohibiting printing unless the required password is entered. The present invention provides a facsimile machine that has the following features.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes: a data storage section that stores only data having a required code signal from among received document data; an input section that inputs code signals and the like; A code signal storage unit that stores code signals, etc. is connected to the input unit and the code signal storage unit, and the code data from the input unit is compared with the code signal from the code signal storage unit;
The present invention provides a facsimile machine that includes a control unit that controls data of a required code to be read out from a data storage unit and printed out when the data match.

"Operation" Since the present invention is configured as described above, the receiving side of the facsimile machine first prints out the invoice after receiving the signal. After receiving the invoice, the recipient of the document goes to the location where the facsimile machine is installed, enters the required password, and manually processes the transmitted document.

``Embodiment'' Hereinafter, a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the main parts of a facsimile machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a document invoice used in the facsimile machine. Controls data transmission and reception, document reading, printing, etc. of the facsimile device.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an input unit into which control signals for sending and receiving documents, etc. are input.

3 is a document reading section, and 4 is a data identification section, which identifies data from the reading section 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a storage unit which stores a control program and includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) for temporarily recording data, etc. Reference numeral 6 denotes a password storage unit which stores passwords, names, etc. 7 is a data storage unit that stores document data having a confidential code signal. 8
9 is a printing section, and 9 is a dial section.

In such a configuration, an invoice 10 as shown in FIG. 2 is placed at the beginning of the original to be transmitted and is sent to the facsimile machine at the same time as the original. On the invoice, a code 11 indicating the invoice, a code I2 indicating a confidential document, the name of the recipient (eg, name in kana), and an invoice guide 14 are created. These invoices are read by the document reading unit 3, and the data identification unit 4 identifies the invoice 11, confidential document 12, name in kana 13,
are identified and sent via the control unit l prior to sending the document data.

On the other hand, on the receiving side, as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
r1). If the code signal of the confidential document is not included, it is immediately printed out via the printing unit 8 (Sr
1) On the other hand, if the received data includes a code for a confidential document, the control unit 1 adds a number (address) to the received data, and uses the corresponding password storage unit 6 based on the kana name. The password is read and stored in the RAM area of the storage unit 5 (Sr4), and only the transmitted invoice is printed out via the printing unit 8 (Sr5).
The transmitted document data and the above-mentioned number (address) are stored in the data storage section (S T 6).

Thereafter, the recipient who has seen the invoice 10 comes to a place where a facsimile machine is installed and inputs the required password via the input section 2 (Sr1). The input PIN is passed through the control unit l, and it is determined whether there is data corresponding to the PIN stored in the RAM of the storage unit 5 (S
r1), if there is a corresponding number (S T 9), the corresponding data is read out from the data storage unit 7 based on the number (address) and printed out via the printing unit 8 (ST
10).

Note that, although a name and a corresponding password are registered in advance in the password storage section 6, and the password is read out based on the name in kana, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, although the control signal for the confidential document is inputted as a code on the invoice 10, for example, a switch such as a security switch may be provided in the input section 2, and the confidential document code signal may be transmitted by operating the switch. .

"Effects" As described above, when receiving data, the facsimile apparatus according to the present invention prints out only the invoice among the received data, and stores and retains the document data in the storage unit. Then, the document data is printed out by inputting the recipient's personal identification number, which ensures the confidentiality of the document.
