Description of the invention α) [Field of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving a network facsimile system, and in particular relates to a facsimile service method for a server device which can be connected to a server. [Background of the invention] Press, facsimile Communication generally uses a wire (electric) circuit exchange method, that is, the sender (end) transaction machine uses the circuit exchange method to set the communication line directly to the receiver's transaction machine. Therefore, the receiver's As soon as the MFP receives the image, it can print out the received image data immediately, and the receiver can immediately know that the data is being received. However, when fax scans multiple documents with high resolution and complicated graphics, it is prone to memory full because of the memory capacity of the MFP, resulting in a waste of communication costs, or The file cannot be transmitted at all, and the same situation occurs when receiving. Therefore, from the above, it can be seen that the above-mentioned conventional transmission and reception methods of the business machine obviously have inconveniences and defects in practical use, and need to be improved. The reason is that the present inventor felt that the above-mentioned deficiency could be improved, and made intensive research and combined with the application of theories to finally propose a present invention with a reasonable design and effective improvement of the above-mentioned deficiency. [Objective of the Invention] The main object of the present invention is to provide a transmission and reception method for an internet facsimile system, which is connected to a work server and makes full use of the huge memory unit in the work server as a relay storage. Replace the transaction machine

Description of the invention (5) The server 3 is like the external memory of the business machine 4. Invisible t expands the memory capacity of the business machine 4 itself (referring to the storage 4 4). The following is directed to the invention The operation flow of transmission and reception is described in detail. Please refer to the third figure. When faxing a document (step 1 00), the image reading section 43 of the MFP 4 first scans the original (step 10 2) and sends the scanned image data. Give the storage device 4 4 (step 104), and then record the transmission message (including the recipient's machine name, fax number, fax page number, fax time, etc.) to the document header, along with the document image file via the transmission network 2 is transmitted to the storage unit 3 1 of the work server 3 for storage (step 1 0 6), when the transmission of the original document is completed and the work server 3 is also completely stored (step 1 0 8), the storage 4 4 then go to retrieve the data stored in the work server 3 (in real time or set a specific time), and obtain the fax number from the document header (step 1 10), the fax machine 4 starts the fax function, and When the fax number is dialed, the storage 44 will retrieve the data in the work server 3 and send the document (step 1 1 2), and delete the work server 3 after printing. Information (step 1 1 4), then complete the fax file Feeding operation (Step 116). Please refer to the fourth figure. When receiving a file (step 2 0 0), the business machine 4 first obtains an incoming call from the telecommunication network 1 (step 2 0 2), and the memory 4 4 retrieves the file. The fax document data sent by telecommunication network 1 (step 204). At this time, the received message (including the sender's machine name, fax number, fax page number, fax time, etc.) is recorded in the document header, and Send the file with the file image to the
1239761 五、發明說明(6) 工作伺服器3的記憶單元3 1來儲存(步驟2 0 6 ),須 注意的是,因該儲存器4 4僅作緩衝(buff er )作用,因 此使用者亦可同時對該事務機4執行傳真掃描文件的動作 ,所掃描的資料則暫存至該儲存器4 4内。俟該文件資料 接收完成且該工作伺服器3亦完整儲存後(步驟2 0 8 ) ,該儲存器4 4便轉而去擷取該工作伺服器3内儲存的資 料(即時或設定某一特定時間)(步驟2 1 0 ),因該文 件表頭顯示為接收訊息,該事務機4便啟動該列印輸出部 4 5之列印功能,則該儲存器4 4所擷取的資料將陸續列 印出來(步驟2 1 2 ),而於列印結束後刪除該工作伺服 器3内的資料(步驟2 1 4 ),便完成該傳真文件的接收 動作(步驟2 1 6 )。 藉此,當傳送魔大文件時,啟動本系統功能,則掃描 文件時會先傳送至該工作伺服器3 ,由該工作伺服器3接 收該文件,該事務機4再自該工作伺服器3擷取資料,同 時啟動傳真功能傳送該文件,當傳送完成後再刪除該工作 伺服器3内的資料;當接收龐大文件時,啟動本系統功能 ,會先接收該文件同時儲存至該工作伺服器3 ,該事務機 4再自該工作伺服器3擷取資料,同時啟動列印功能,當 列印完成後再刪除該工作伺服器3内的資料;因此,可有 效解決習知發生記憶體不足及無法傳送/接收該文件的狀 況發生,使得作業更為順暢並具有效率。 綜上所述,本發明完全符合專利申請之要件,故爰依 專利法提出申請,請詳查並請早曰惠准專利,實感德便,1239761 V. Description of the invention (6) The storage unit 31 of the working server 3 is stored (step 2 0 6). It should be noted that, because the storage 4 4 only serves as a buffer, the user also At the same time, the document scanning operation can be performed on the MFP 4 at the same time, and the scanned data is temporarily stored in the storage 44.俟 After the document data is received and the work server 3 is completely stored (step 208), the storage 44 will instead go to retrieve the data stored in the work server 3 (in real time or set a specific Time) (step 2 1 0), because the document header is displayed as receiving a message, the MFP 4 starts the printing function of the print output section 45, and the data retrieved by the memory 4 4 will be successively Print it out (step 2 1 2), and delete the data in the work server 3 after printing (step 2 1 4), then complete the receiving action of the fax document (step 2 1 6). With this, when the magic large file is transmitted, the system function is activated, and then the document will be transmitted to the work server 3 when it is scanned, the work server 3 will receive the file, and the business machine 4 will then send it from the work server 3 Retrieve data, and start the fax function to send the file at the same time. After the transmission is completed, delete the data in the work server 3. When receiving a large file, start this system function and receive the file first and save it to the work server 3, the business machine 4 then retrieves data from the work server 3 and starts printing at the same time, and then deletes the data in the work server 3 after printing is completed; therefore, it can effectively solve the problem of memory shortage. And the inability to send / receive the file, making the job smoother and more efficient. In summary, the present invention fully complies with the requirements for patent applications. Therefore, if you apply for it in accordance with the Patent Law, please check it in detail and ask Huizhun for the patent.
