    How to manage activity on a fax without a backup battery.
    The present invention relates to facsimile activity management in a multifunction multifunction device, and more specifically, to a non-volatile RAM (NV-RAM) without using a static RAM and a backup battery. The present invention relates to a facsimile activity management method without a backup battery that manages a facsimile transmission and reception activity only with a volatile tile.
    In general, a multifunction device is a multi-function terminal made by combining existing terminals such as a facsimile machine, a scanner, a printer, a copier, etc. into one, and has a function of interworking with a computer, that is, a computer-interface function. Refers to Muliti Functional (MFP).
    Therefore, a phenomenon that does not occur when each exists as one terminal occurs. The all-in-one also supports the IEEE 1284 standard as a two-way communication method for interfacing with a computer.
    A facsimile system in such a multifunction machine scans an image of an original and transmits it to a telephone line, and prints image data received on the telephone line.
    In addition to the above functions of transmitting and receiving image data and copying image data of a document, the fax mill system of the multifunction printer is essentially equipped with a static RAM (S-RAM), a nonvolatile RAM (NV RAM), and a backup battery. The function of managing activities is generalized.
    1 is a block diagram illustrating a facsimile system in a multifunction apparatus having a built-in backup battery.
    1, a central processing unit (100) for controlling and controlling a transmission and reception activity of a facsimile according to a predetermined program; A memory unit 107 for storing program data and protocol data for activity management of the facsimile, and accessing or storing data under the control of the CPU 100; A function key of the system has a plurality of keys capable of generating data and has a display device capable of inputting the key data into the central processing unit 100 and displaying the display data of the central processing unit 100 when the key data is generated. An operating panel (OPE) 105; A scanner (103) which scans an image of an original and provides digital image data to the central processing unit (100); A modem 102 which is controlled by the central processing unit 100 and outputs an analog modulated output of the central processing unit 100 and demodulates and outputs an analog receiving input; The communication control unit is operated under the control of the central processing unit 100 to form a call loop of a telephone line (Tip, Ring) and to interface the signal of the modem 102 with the signal of the telephone line (Tip, Ring). 101; A printer 104 for printing received data according to a control signal of the central processing unit 100; A sensor unit 106 for sensing a remaining amount of recording paper and providing the remaining amount of recording paper to the central processing unit 100; A speaker 108 generating an alarm sound by a control signal of the central processing unit 100; A battery 111 that keeps the power backed up and operates the backup power to the central processing unit 100 when a power failure occurs; A static RAM (S-RAM) 110 for storing and maintaining facsimile transmission / receiving activity item data provided from the central processing unit 100 by a backup power supply of the battery 111 at a power failure; At the end of the transmission and reception of the facsimile under the control of the central processing unit 100 stores the transmission and reception activity item data of the facsimile stored in the static RAM 110 and after checking the contents of the static RAM 110 after the power failure is released. If present, it consists of a nonvolatile RAM 109 that corrects and stores the result due to a power failure.
    A facsimile system in a multifunction apparatus incorporating a conventional backup battery configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
    In the case of transmission, if a user inputs the subscriber number of the other station through the operation panel 105 and then presses the transmission start key, a corresponding command is generated from the central processing unit 100 and the scanner ( 103).
    The scanner 103 which inputs a command from the central processing unit 100 scans an original image to be transmitted and provides it to the central processing unit 100 as binary image data.
    The CPU 100 stores the image data read by the scanner 103 in the memory unit 107.
    The image data stored in the memory unit 107 is modulated via the modem 102 and then transmitted to the telephone line passage through the communication control unit 101 at a transmission rate suitable for a telephone line (Tip, Ring) state.
    On the contrary, in the case of reception, the data is processed in the reverse operation of the transmission, and the image data demodulated by the modem 102 is stored in the memory unit 107 by the central processing unit 100 and then printed in the printer 104 to be used. Get the original image output.
    In addition, when an error occurs during transmission and reception, the speaker 108 of FIG. 1 generates an alarm sound under the control of the central processing unit 100, and the sensor unit 106 detects the remaining amount of recording paper to detect the central processing unit ( 100).
    As described above, conventional facsimile activity management in a normal facsimile system operating as described above, when the facsimile transmission and reception begins, the activity items of the facsimile, for example, telephone number, transmission mode, time, page The transmission / reception time is stored in the static RAM 110 by the central processing unit 100.
    This is to maintain the activity item data of the facsimile stored in the static RAM 110 without being lost by the backup power source of the battery 111 even when a power failure occurs in the transmission and reception of the facsimile.
    When the transmission and reception of the facsimile is completed, the CPU 100 reads the activity item data of the facsimile stored in the static RAM 110 and stores it in the nonvolatile RAM 109.
    When the power failure is released after the power failure occurs, the CPU 100 checks the activity item data of the facsimile stored in the static RAM 110, and if there is any content, corrects the result of the power failure by non-volatile RAM 109. In this case, the user can later print the result stored in the nonvolatile RAM 109 through the printer 104 or the activity of the facsimile through the display of the operation panel 105.
    However, the conventional facsimile system as described above, as described above, the static RAM (S-RAM) for storing the activity items of the facsimile for the activity management of the facsimile and the backup battery to prevent the loss of data stored in the static RAM during power failure And since the use of non-volatile RAM (NV RAM) to modify and store the activity item data of the static RAM to the power failure (Empower failure) after the power failure is used, there was a problem that the price of the product increases.
    Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the problems with the facsimile system of the conventional multifunction device as described above, and the present invention has been made, and the present invention uses only non-volatile RAM without using a static RAM (S-RAM) and a backup battery. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a facsimile activity management method that does not have a backup battery for facsimile management.
    Another object of the present invention is to store all the activity items of the facsimile, assuming that the result item of the non-volatile RAM at the start of the fax transmission and reception of the power failure to correct and manage the result when the transmission and reception is finished. .
    Another object of the present invention is to eliminate the backup battery and the static RAM in the facsimile system to suppress the price rise of the product and improve the productivity.
