Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize even one line for facsimile communication easily by applying visual incoming display at automatic incoming and continuing the display until a signal reception or a talking request. CONSTITUTION:When a call signal detection circuit 2 detects a call signal 8 from an exchange, a hearing sense display request is given from a control section 5 to an audible sense display section 6 to apply display 11 capable of giving audible sense by a buzzer or the like. The facsimile equipment sends an identification signal 9 generated by the control section 5 to an opposite side, that is, a calling terminal equipment via a modulation and demodulation section 4 and an exchange. When the facsimile equipment is connected to the caller side, a reception instruction signal 10 is sent from the caller side, the reception side receives immediately the reception instruction signal 10 through the modulation and demodulation section 4, the control section 5 identifies it to stop the audible display 11 thereby starting the communication of the facsimile equipment.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to facsimile devices.

Conventional technology: A 7-axis IJ device and devices necessary for communication (hereinafter abbreviated as communication devices) are connected to a communication line.

This communication line may be shared for facsimile communication and telephone calls, and may be used for switching between telephone calls and communications.

Conventional facsimile machines send a control signal to call the operator to the other party's facsimile machine when a call is needed during communication or at the start of communication, and when this signal is sent or received, an audio-visual display is performed to notify the operator. According to
It was possible to switch from communication to telephone calls.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional facsimile apparatuses described above have the following drawbacks when one telephone line is used for both voice calls and facsimile communications.

In other words, if the facsimile machine is set to enable automatic reception, when a call is received from a telephone to which the facsimile machine is not connected, the facsimile machine will automatically receive the call signal from the exchange and the operator will be called. I can't call it.

Furthermore, if the facsimile machines are set to a state in which automatic reception is not possible, operator intervention is required when communicating between the facsimile machines, which poses a problem that hinders operation.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new facsimile apparatus which makes it possible to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages inherent in the prior art.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a facsimile device according to the present invention has an auditory display that is activated when a call is automatically received, and receives a response signal (reception command signal) from a calling terminal. and a circuit for detecting the condition of a call request using the auditory display, and further includes means for displaying the auditory display until a facsimile signal from the calling party is received when a call is automatically received.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
32 is an operation time chart.

In FIG. 7, when the calling signal g from the exchange is detected by the calling signal detection circuit λ, the detection signal is notified to the controller 1j and the controller ! A switching signal is transmitted to the rake, and this switching signal switches the relay 7 from the contact a side to the contact side. At this time the control section! makes an auditory display request to the auditory display unit 6, and performs an audible display /I using a buzzer or the like.

Next, the facsimile machine sends the identification signal t created by the control section 5 to the other party, ie, the calling terminal, through the modulation/demodulation section and the exchange. When a facsimile machine is connected to the calling side, a reception command signal 10 is sent from the calling side, and the receiving side immediately receives the reception command signal 10 through the modulation/demodulation section DA as shown in FIG. 2, and performs ljl control. section S, thereby stopping the auditory display // and starting the facsimile communication operation.

The other party's fax machine is not connected.

Command signal 10 is not received. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the auditory display // is continuous, so that the operator can easily identify it. When the operator lifts the handset of the telephone, the seven-call off detection circuit 3 operates and notifies the control unit 3 that there is a one-call request. Control unit when receiving a call request! A switching signal is sent to the relay rake, which allows the relay to switch the contact from b to a.

Also, the control section as well! Auditory display/l from the auditory display section 6
It outputs a stop signal and stops the auditory display such as a buzzer, allowing voice calls.

Note that it is clear that the auditory display is the same even if it is displayed intermittently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when a facsimile machine automatically receives a call, it displays an audible message and continues to display this audible message until a facsimile signal is received or a call request is made. As a result, even if a facsimile device uses only one line, it can be easily used for telephone calls and facsimile communications.
