Incoming message automatic reporting system for fax machines

An incoming message automatic reporting system installed in a telephone line and connected to a fax machine through an electric connector to automatically notify at least one addressee of the incoming of a fax message, comprising:

• a telephone line interface imparting a passage between said telephone line and said fax machine, and detecting the status of the passage;
• a multi-frequency decoder adapted for receiving multi-frequency signal inputted by a sender and converting it into corresponding digital signal, said multi-frequency signal being indicative of said at least one addressee's phone number;
• a multi-frequency signal generator adapted for converting said digital signal into corresponding multi-frequency signal;
• a microprocessor programmable for controlling the operation of said telephone line interface, said multi-frequency decoder and said multi-frequency signal generator, said microprocessor having memory means for storing said digital signal outputted from said multi-frequency decoder;
• a voice IC controlled by said microprocessor to store voice messages;
• a first electric connector having one end thereof connected to a telephone line connector of said fax machine and an opposite end thereof connected to said telephone line interface;
• a second electric connector having one end thereof connected to said telephone line and an opposite end thereof connected to said telephone line interface;
• and,
• a third electric connector having one end thereof connected to an internal exchange system and an opposite end thereof connected to said telephone line interface;
• said multi-frequency signal indicative of said at least one addressee's phone number being inputted by the sender upon request from said voice IC, decoded by said multi-frequency decoder into said digital signal and stored in said memory means of said microprocessor prior to arrival of the fax message to said fax machine;
• said microprocessor outputting said digital signal from said memory means thereof into said multi-frequency signal generator once said fax message has been received by said fax machine, said multi-frequency signal generator converting said digital signal into said corresponding multi-frequency signal;
• said corresponding multi-frequency signal being sent to said at least one addressee, and
• a voice message from said voice IC being sent to said at least one addressee, thereby notifying said at least one addressee of the incoming of said fax message.
