Referring to FIG. 3, selected address book 64, which is registered in advance in data storage area 40 of RAM 16, can register a plurality of destinations. 68, and in this address name column 68, for example, AAA Trading, BBB Bank, CCC Department Store, . . . etc. are registered. A facsimile number (telephone number) is registered in the facsimile number column 70 corresponding to each of these addresses, and an e-mail address is registered in the e-mail address column 72 corresponding to each of these addresses.

Characteristically, the selected address book 64 registers correct keywords and incorrect keywords individually corresponding to each of the plurality of addresses registered in the address name field 68 . However, it is not necessary that both correct keywords and incorrect keywords are set for each addressee, and at least one of them needs to be registered.

A primary keyword is a keyword that must be included in a facsimile document to be sent to that address, and is registered in the primary keyword column 74 . In this example, "Quotation" is registered for AAA Trading, "Loan" for BBB Bank, "Receipt" for CCC Department Store, and so on.

In this example, "Confidential" is registered for AAA Trading, "Confidential" for BBB Bank, "Cost" for CCC Department Store, and so on.

However, all of these correct keywords and incorrect keywords can be set arbitrarily, and can be set in consideration of the individuality of the addressee and the actual circumstances of transactions with the addressee.

Also, one correct keyword and one incorrect keyword are set in the selected address book 64 of the embodiment of FIG. You may make it

An example of transmission operation control of the computer 12 in the facsimile machine 10 using such a selection address book 64 is shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 7. FIG.

In the first step S1 of FIG. 4, the computer 12 calls up the selected address book 64, detailed in FIG. 3, and displays the selected address book 64 on the display 22, selectable by the user.

At the next step S3, the computer 12 determines based on the operation data 58 whether or not the user has selected a destination from the displayed selected address book 64. FIG.

When "YES" is determined in step S3, the computer 12 acquires the correct keyword and/or incorrect keyword corresponding to the selected address from the correct keyword column 74 and/or incorrect keyword column 76 in the next step S5.

However, if it is not registered in the selected address book 64 and therefore cannot be selected from the selected address book 64, "NO" is determined in step S3, and the mode shifts to the direct transmission mode. In this direct transmission mode, the user inputs the addressee's facsimile number by operating a numeric keypad (not shown) displayed on the display 22 on the touch panel. In this case, the process proceeds to step S7 shown in FIG.

In step S9 following step S5, the computer 12 detects that the user has set the facsimile document on the platen (not shown) and has operated the start key (not shown) displayed on the display 22. , the job is started, and the image reading section 28 (FIG. 1) is controlled to read the facsimile document. Image data corresponding to the facsimile document is stored in the data storage area 40 of the RAM 16 as the facsimile image data 60 .

In the next step S11, the computer 12 controls the OCR 36 according to the OCR reading program 52 to perform character recognition on the facsimile image data 60, and stores the character recognition result as the OCR read data 62 in the data storage area 40 (FIG. 2). Let

Next, in step S13, the computer 12 compares the erroneous keyword obtained in step S5 with the OCR read data 62 obtained in step S11 to determine whether the erroneous keyword is included in the character recognition results. In this step S13, the computer 12 makes a first judgment when the erroneous keyword is included in the character recognition result, that is, the facsimile image data (facsimile original), and makes a second judgment when it is not included.

When the first determination is made in step S13, that is, when the facsimile document contains an erroneous keyword, the process advances to step S15 to temporarily stop the transmission, and even though the facsimile document contains an erroneous keyword, the transmission job is executed as it is. Ask the user if it is okay to continue. The computer 12 that executes this step S15 functions as a stopping unit.

When the second determination is made in step S13, that is, when the facsimile document does not contain an erroneous keyword, computer 12 executes step S19.

Specifically, in step S15, the computer 12 uses the message data 66 (FIG. 2) to display the confirmation screen 78 as shown in FIG.

A confirmation screen 78 shown in FIG. 5 displays a message 80 indicating the name of the address currently specified by the user and a confirmation message 82 asking "Wrong keyword is included. Do you want to continue facsimile transmission?" , displays a "Yes" button 84 and a "No" button 86 to confirm the user's response. The user sees this confirmation screen 78 and touches (operates) a "Yes" button 84 if he wants to continue, or touches a "No" button 86 if he finds an error and stops the transmission job.

Therefore, in the next step S17, the computer 12 determines whether the user has instructed to continue, that is, whether the "yes" button 84 or the "no" button 86 has been operated based on the operation data 58. to decide.

When "YES" is determined in this step S17, that is, when the "Yes" button 84 is operated on the confirmation screen 78 of FIG. As a first step, it is determined whether or not the facsimile manuscript contains a correct keyword related to the destination at that time in step S19.

That is, in step S19, the computer 12 compares the correct keyword obtained in step S5 with the OCR read data 62 obtained in step S11 to determine whether the correct keyword is included in the character recognition result of the OCR 36. Please judge. In this step S19, the computer 12 makes the third judgment when the positive keyword is included in the character recognition result, that is, the facsimile original, and makes the fourth judgment when it is not included.

When the third determination is made in step S19, the computer 12 controls the facsimile communication section 34 in accordance with the facsimile control program 54 to execute transmission in step S21.

On the other hand, when the fourth determination is made in step S19, the process proceeds to step S23 to temporarily stop the transmission, and even if the facsimile document does not contain the correct keyword, the transmission job can be continued. Confirm with the user if it is okay. The computer 12 that executes this step S23 functions as a stopping unit.

Specifically, in step S23, the computer 12 uses the message data 66 (FIG. 2) to display the confirmation screen 78 as shown in FIG.

A confirmation screen 78 shown in FIG. 5 displays a message 80 indicating the name of the address currently specified by the user and a confirmation message 88 of "The correct keyword is not included. Do you want to continue facsimile transmission?" A "Yes" button 84 and a "No" button 86 are displayed to confirm the user's response. The user sees this confirmation screen 78 and touches the "Yes" button 84 if he wants to continue, or touches the "No" button 86 if he finds an error and stops the transmission job.

Therefore, in the next step S25, the computer 12 determines whether the user has instructed to continue, that is, whether the "yes" button 84 or the "no" button 86 has been operated based on the operation data 58. to decide.

Then, when "YES" is determined in step S25, that is, when the "Yes" button 84 is operated on the confirmation screen 78 of FIG. Assuming that there is, facsimile transmission is executed in the subsequent step S21. The computer 12 that executes this step S21 functions as a transmission section.

In this manner, facsimile transmission is executed when the user clearly instructs to continue transmission on the confirmation screen 78, so that erroneous transmission can be prevented and necessary facsimile transmission can be executed.

However, when the continuation instruction is not received from the user in the previous step S17 or step S25, that is, when the "No" button 86 is operated on the confirmation screen 78 of FIG. 5 or the confirmation screen 78 of FIG. The job is canceled (canceled) in step S27 assuming that the refusal has been instructed. The computer 12 that executes this step S27 functions as a canceling unit.

When "NO" is determined in step S3 of FIG. 4, the process proceeds to step S7 of FIG. 7 as described above, and in step S7, positive keywords for direct transmission are obtained. Here, direct transmission means that the user directly sets the destination by entering the facsimile number, or selects the destination from the address book in which the correct keyword and the incorrect keyword are not set, instead of the selected address book 64 of the embodiment. including cases where In step S7, in the former case, the facsimile number itself of the destination is acquired, and in the latter case, the registered content (registered name, etc.) of the address book is acquired as the primary keyword.

Steps after step S7 are almost the same as the case where the primary keyword is obtained from the selected address book 64, except that the primary keyword is different. Therefore, in FIG. Duplicate explanations are omitted by adding "a".

Furthermore, in the embodiment, it is determined whether or not the character recognition result (OCR read data 62) contains an incorrect keyword and whether or not a correct keyword is contained. When "NO" was determined, the facsimile transmission to the destination was stopped.

However, it is also possible to judge only whether or not an erroneous keyword is included in the character recognition result, and stop facsimile transmission to the destination when "YES" is judged (first judgment) in the judgment. In this case, steps S19-S25 of FIG. 4 are omitted, and when "NO" is determined (second determination) in step S13 of FIG. 4, or when "YES" is determined in step S17, step S21 It is sufficient to execute facsimile transmission.

Similarly, it is possible to judge only whether or not the correct keyword is included in the character recognition result, and stop the facsimile transmission to the destination when "NO" is judged in the judgment (fourth judgment). . In this case, steps S13 to S17 of FIG. 4 are omitted, and when "YES" is determined (third determination) in step S19 of FIG. 4, or when "YES" is determined in step S25, step S21 It is sufficient to execute facsimile transmission.

In other words, it may be determined whether or not the character recognition result contains only correct keywords or incorrect keywords. In other words, it is sufficient if either the correct keyword or the incorrect keyword is set.
