Description

How faxes secure incoming data

The present invention relates to a method for securing received data of a facsimile, and more particularly, to assign a unique number and a password to a plurality of recipients using the same facsimile to selectively receive data transmitted externally to an arbitrary recipient. It is about a method of securing received data of a facsimile.

In general, a facsimile is a terminal for data communication such as a document or an image, and is an office automation device in which fax data is transmitted or received using a public telephone network.

In recent years, as facsimile communication is generalized, much information is exchanged through facsimile. Especially for documents that need to be processed quickly, the exchange of information through facsimile is very effective, which greatly improves work efficiency.

Such a facsimile machine is difficult to maintain the security of the document by immediately outputting the fax data transmitted from the outside, or temporarily stored in the memory according to the user's operation and output.

Thus, in order to maintain the security of the facsimile machine, an additional function of temporarily storing externally transmitted fax data in a memory and outputting the fax data stored in the memory when a user inputs a password is added.

However, according to the conventional security method of the fax, the following problems occur.

After storing all the received data in the memory, if the password is inputted, all the data stored in the memory are outputted at once, which also incurs security problems and is inconvenient to use.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to give a unique number and password to a number of recipients using the facsimile to transmit data containing a unique number to any recipient from outside Recipients can check the data sent to them and output it selectively to improve the security of the fax.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is that in the data security method of the facsimile that can be output only received by any recipient when the data is transmitted by adding a unique number of any recipient in addition to the facsimile number from the outside. ; When the data is transmitted from the outside by including the unique number, a predetermined serial number is assigned to the received file unit data and stored in the storage medium of the facsimile; Extracting recipient information including a unique number from among file units, assigning a predetermined serial number identical to that of file units, and storing the same in a predetermined area of the storage medium; When any recipient enters his or her own number and password through a predetermined process, confirming the unique number and password to confirm each recipient information in the order of a predetermined serial number; If any recipient selects a specific serial number from among the predetermined serial numbers, the data is outputted corresponding to the specific serial number among the respective data stored in the storage medium.

Here, the facsimile receiving data security method stores the history management data including a predetermined unique number, information data, and output date and time on a storage medium when the data is output.

Here, the method for securing received data of a facsimile outputs history management data stored in a storage medium when a desired recipient requests.

Here, the received data security method of the facsimile registers and stores each unique number and each password specified for each recipient using the facsimile.

In addition, the confirmation of the unique number and password confirms whether the unique number and the password of any recipient are included in each unique number and each password previously stored in the storage medium.

On the other hand, when the unique number and password of any recipient are confirmed, the information data is displayed on the display device in the order of a predetermined serial number.

In addition, when the unique number and password of any recipient are confirmed, the information data is output to the printing sheet through the printer in the order of a predetermined serial number.

Here, the unique number is a predetermined number given to the back of the fax number.

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

The CPU 10 generally controls the facsimile according to the set program. In particular, when the data is transmitted from the outside, the CPU 10 detects whether the unique number is included in the TTI (Transmitting Table Information) and outputs the data when the unique number is detected. Instead, a serial number is assigned and stored in the memory 20. At the same time, the TTI is extracted and the same serial number as the data is assigned to the memory 20. Also, if any recipient enters his or her own password and password through the operation panel 30, the TTI is ordered to the display device 31 of the operation panel 30 when the unique number and password are confirmed and confirmed. Display as is or output through the printer (70). If the unique number is not included in the data transmitted from the outside, the data is output through a general printing process.

The memory 20 stores various programs, programs for verifying unique numbers and passwords, protocol data, text data, and operations related to transmission and reception. In particular, the unique numbers and passwords of various recipients are stored. The TTI is stored in a predetermined area allocated by the control of the CPU 10. Here, the unique number is a predetermined number given to the rear end of the facsimile number.

The operation panel (OPE) 3 includes a display device 31 for displaying a plurality of keys and display data of the central processing unit 10 so as to generate the key data of the facsimile. 40) scans the data of the document, converts the data into digital image data, and provides the same to the central processing unit 10.

The modem 50 modulates the output data of the central processing unit 10 in an analog form under the control of the central processing unit 10, and demodulates and outputs the analog input signal. The network control unit (NCU) 60 is operated under the control of the central processing unit 10 to form a call loop of a public switching telephone network (PSTN) (consisting of rings and tips) and a modem ( 50) and the signal of the public telephone network.

The printer 70 prints the received data by the control signal from the central processing unit 10, and in particular, outputs the TTI and the history management data by the control of the central processing unit.

The sensor unit 80 detects the remaining amount of recording paper or detects the printing paper 1 and provides it to the central processing unit 10.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of securing a received data of a facsimile according to the present invention. FIG. 3A is an exemplary view showing a TTI displayed on a display device according to the present invention. FIG. 3B is a TTI according to the present invention. Figure 4 is an exemplary view showing the output, Figure 4 is an exemplary view showing a history output is output in accordance with the present invention.

First, a unique number and a password are registered for each recipient in the facsimile memory 20 (S100). In other words, if the fax number is 123-1234 and the number of recipients is 20, the number is set from 123-123401 to 123-123420, and the password is set so that only the recipient can know.

In this state, when the A file including the unique number is transmitted externally (S210), the CPU 10 detects whether the A file includes the unique number (S220). To explain this in detail, if the sending party A dials 123-123401 (where 01 is the unique number of the box A) to transmit the A file, the exchange recognizes up to 123-1234 and sets the call with the receiving party to send the A file. In this case, the TTI includes all the 123-123401 dialed by the transmitting side.

Thus, if the A file contains a unique number, the central processing unit 10 assigns a serial number (for example, 1) to the received A file, and stores the serial numbered A file in the memory 20. In step S230, the TTI is separately extracted, the same serial number (for example, 1) as that of the A file is assigned to the extracted TTI, and then stored separately in the allocated area of the memory 20 (S300).

In such a state, if any recipient party operates a specific function key through the operation panel 30 and then inputs his unique number 123-123401 and a password, that is, a request for TTI confirmation (S410), central processing The device 10 compares the inputted unique number and password with the unique number and password previously stored in the memory 20 (S420), so that the unique number and password inputted by any recipient party are stored in the memory 20. If included in the previously stored unique number and password (S430), as shown in Figure 3a to display the stored TTI through the display device 31, or as shown in Figure 3b through the printer 70 print paper ( Output to 1) (S440).

Thus, when any recipient A checks the TTI and selects the serial number 1 of the A file received by the recipient (S510), the CPU 10 receives the A file having the serial number 1 in the memory 20. The A file is deleted from the memory 20 at the same time as the output through the printer 70 (S520), and the TTI and the output date and time of the A file are output to the other allocation area of the memory 20. The history management data including the unique number is stored (S530).

On the other hand, when a request for outputting the history management data to the central processing unit 10, the central processing unit 10 stores the history management data stored in the memory 20 as shown in FIG. Output through

In operation 430 (S430), if the unique number and password are not included in the unique number and password previously stored in the memory 20, the CPU 10 displays the user input request to the display device 31. (S431).

Accordingly, data transmitted from the outside can be checked and output only by designated recipients, thereby maintaining security.

As described above, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined by the claims below and equivalents thereof.

According to the present invention as described above, the following advantages occur.

If the data is transmitted from an arbitrary destination from the outside, the data can be secured by outputting the data by verifying the data that has arrived at the recipient after inputting his or her own unique number and password.
