Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication terminal unit capable of easily confirming all faults and dealing the faults even when a plurality of the faults occurs when the area of a display means to display the faults cannot be assured in a large value. SOLUTION: The communication terminal unit displays the number of the faults which can be displayed on the display means 7 when all the faults detected by a fault detecting means 1 cannot be displayed on the display means 7, and displays the effect that the residual faults exist.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a communication terminal device including at least operation means, display means, and abnormality detection means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in a communication terminal device such as a facsimile device, when an abnormality such as a paper jam or a toner shortage is detected, a message to that effect is displayed to prompt the user to take an action. .

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional communication terminal device, when a large area of the display means for displaying an anomaly cannot be secured, even if a plurality of anomalies occur,
Since they can be displayed one by one, it is difficult to confirm that other abnormalities have occurred, and it takes time to confirm all the abnormalities, and it is troublesome to deal with them.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and when a large area of display means for displaying an abnormality cannot be secured, even if a plurality of abnormalities occur, all the abnormalities can be easily confirmed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication terminal device capable of dealing with the above.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the communication terminal device according to claim 1 of the present invention, when all the anomalies detected by the anomaly detecting means cannot be displayed on the displaying means, the displaying means displays the anomalies. In addition to displaying the number of abnormalities that can be displayed, it is configured to indicate that there are remaining abnormalities.

In the communication terminal device according to the second aspect, when all the abnormalities detected by the abnormality detecting means cannot be displayed on the display means, a predetermined standby state display and a part of the abnormalities are displayed, and the operation means is operated. The display is switched to all the abnormalities that can be displayed, including some abnormalities, and all the abnormalities are sequentially displayed by operating the operation means.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a main configuration of a communication terminal device of the present invention.

Here, the configuration of the facsimile apparatus F is shown as the communication terminal device, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and means for detecting an abnormality such as paper jam or toner shortage and displaying the abnormality is provided. Anything can be used as long as it is provided.

The facsimile apparatus F is composed of a CPU and the like, and has a main control section 1 for controlling the following sections, an NCU 2 for controlling connection to the telephone line L, and a modem 3 for modulating / demodulating various signals required for facsimile communication. And an RAM 5 having an image memory 4 for storing image data and an error table 50 for storing an abnormality detected by the main control unit 1.
A ROM 6 storing various programs necessary for the facsimile apparatus F to operate; a display section 7 including a liquid crystal screen (three-row display); and an operating section 8 including various operation keys. A reading unit 9 that reads image data from a set document and a recording unit 10 that prints the image data are provided.

The operation of such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
It will be described together with the flowchart of. That is, the facsimile apparatus F constantly displays the standby mode (first line) and the time (second line) on the display unit 7 as shown in FIG. The table 50 is searched to determine whether there is an abnormality (101).

At this time, if there is only one error (1
02), the contents are displayed on the third line of the display unit 7 (10
3).

On the other hand, if two errors are abnormal (10
2) As shown in FIG. 5, the first error is displayed on the third line, and a down arrow is displayed at an appropriate place (104).

When the down shift key is operated on the screen as shown in FIG. 5 (105), as shown in FIG. 6, the first line is displayed as "error information" (106). If there are three errors (107), three errors are displayed on the first to third lines (108).

If there are four or more errors that have occurred (107), as shown in FIG. 7, the three errors from the beginning are displayed on the second to fourth lines, respectively, and a down arrow is displayed at a proper position. It is displayed (109). If you operate the down shift key on this screen (110), the error is advanced by one and displayed (11
1) If there is a next undisplayed error (112), an up arrow and a down arrow are displayed at appropriate places (113), and the process proceeds to step 110. On the other hand, if there is no next undisplayed error (11
2) Display an up arrow in the appropriate place (114), and step 11
Move to 0.

Here, when the up shift key is operated without operating the down shift key in step 110, (11
5) If there is a previous undisplayed error (116), the error is decremented by 1 and displayed (117), and the process proceeds to step 110.

When the stop key is operated without operating the up shift key in step 115 (118), or when the stop key is operated without a previous undisplayed error in step 116 (118), an error display is displayed. Cancels and returns to normal standby display.

[0017]

As can be understood from the above description, in the communication terminal device according to the first aspect of the present invention, when all the anomalies detected by the anomaly detection means cannot be displayed on the display means, they can be displayed on the display means. Since the number of abnormalities is displayed and the fact that the remaining abnormalities are present is displayed, even when a plurality of abnormalities occur, it is not possible to secure a large area for the display means for displaying the abnormalities. You can easily check and deal with abnormalities.

In the communication terminal device according to the second aspect, when all the abnormalities detected by the abnormality detecting means cannot be displayed on the display means, a predetermined standby state display and a part of the abnormalities are displayed, and the operation means is operated. , The display is switched to all the abnormalities that can be displayed including some abnormalities, and all the abnormalities are sequentially displayed by the operation of the operation means, so a plurality of abnormalities occur and only some of the abnormalities are displayed. However, it can be confirmed that other abnormalities exist, and these abnormalities can be sequentially displayed and confirmed by the operation of the operating means.
