Abstract:
An email/fax communication system is disclosed for use in a packet switching network environment including a mail server for storing email messages for transmission thereof, in the form of a fax document, to one or more recipient fax machines. In one embodiment of the present invention, the email/fax communication system is disclosed to include a router for receiving a first email message, in the form of packets, from the mail server, for converting the first email message packets to first fax pages of a fax document and for transmitting the first fax pages to the one or more recipient fax machines. Upon failure to successfully transmit at least one of the first fax pages of the fax document to the one or more recipient fax machines, the router for converting the failed fax pages to secondary email packets for re-transmission thereof to the one or more recipient fax machines, wherein the router behaves as a conventional fax machine by re-transmitting only failed fax pages thereby avoiding re-transmission of the entire fax document.
Abstract:
An Internet facsimile communication method and an Internet facsimile machine wherein the Internet facsimile machine of the transmitting side shortens the time required from starting of the scanning of the original to be transmitted and receiving of the image data of the original at the terminal of the receiving side, until the completion of the processing such as printing or distributing of the image data. In one example, the Internet facsimile machine of the transmitting side is capable of transmitting, in still shorter period of time, the image data most appropriate to the ability of the Internet facsimile machine of the receiving side, and the Internet facsimile machine for carrying out this Internet facsimile communication method is provided. In another example, a communication system is provided for shortening the time until the delivery confirmation is replied, by replying the electronic mail of the delivery confirmation efficiently.
Abstract:
An image data communication apparatus is connected to an image data source and to a network, and transmits image data attached to an e-mail to a receiving apparatus via the network. The e-mail including a mail from command and a mail message. The image data attached to the e-mail as an openable document. The image data communication apparatus comprises a panel section which inputs information regarding an identification of a user and a mail address of a user to the image data communication apparatus. The image data communication apparatus comprises a controller which sets the information regarding the identification of the user and the mail address of the user input by the panel section, into the mail message of the e-mail to which the image data is attached.

An image data communication apparatus is connected to an image data source and to a network, and transmits image data attached to an e-mail to a receiving apparatus via the network. The e-mail including a mail from command and a mail message. The image data attached to the e-mail as an openable document. The image data communication apparatus comprises a memory which stores default information and information regarding an identification of at least one user, and a panel section which selects information regarding an identification of at least one user other than the default information stored in the memory. The image data communication apparatus comprises a controller which sets the default information into the mail message of the e-mail to which the image data is attached when the information regarding the identification of the user is not selected by the panel section, and sets the information regarding identification of the user selected by the panel section into the mail message of the e-mail to which the image data is attached when the information regarding the identification of the user is selected by the panel section.
Abstract:
IFAX reads an original using a scanner in accordance with a transmitting instruction by an operator. Next, IFAX generates a menu screen in an HTML, image data filed by unit of page is registered to a WWW server together with a generated HTML document. IFAX decides the WWW server based on a recipient's mail address. Next, IFAX sends notification of URL of a WWW server to a recipient to which image data should be transmitted. The recipient accesses to the WWW server based on URL, fetches image data by unit of page, and instructs printing selectively.

Abstract:
A network facsimile system has a communication terminal and relaying server. The network facsimile system is configured such that the communication terminal can transmit an image, through the relaying server, to a destination terminal outside the network facsimile system, that the communication terminal transmits an image to the relaying server in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol. The relaying server transmits an image to the destination terminal in accordance with a facsimile communication protocol. The communication terminal includes a notification system that notifies a user of the communication terminal of an operation status information indicating an operation status of the network facsimile system during a relaying server side operation period.
Abstract:
An electronic mail-facsimile communication system, an electronic mail-facsimile communication method, and a recording medium on which a program code is recorded for performing a method that allow a facsimile transmission image to be previewed is presented herein. It includes a system for faxing electronic mail over a network includes a client connected to the network and a gateway unit for transmitting a facsimile transmission image to a facsimile machine over a telephone line. The gateway unit converts an e-mail sent from the client into a facsimile transmission image, and creates electronic mail containing the facsimile transmission image to return the electronic mail to the client before sending the electronic mail to the facsimile machine.
Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus transmits facsimile data converted from e-mail data to a facsimile destination via a public communication network. A receiver receives the e-mail data from a requesting node. A memory stores a password and a domain name of a requesting node. An acquiring section acquires a destination address including at least a telephone number, a password and a domain name, from the requesting node. A converter converts the e-mail data into facsimile data. A comparator compares the password and the domain name acquired by the acquiring section, with the password and the domain name stored in the memory, respectively. A facsimile transmitter transmits the converted facsimile data to the facsimile destination designated by the telephone number when a result of the comparison indicates that the password and the domain name acquired are the same as the password and the domain name stored in said memory. Further, when a result of the comparison indicates that the password and the domain name acquired are not the same as the password and the domain name stored in the memory, the facsimile transmitter does not transmit the facsimile data to the facsimile destination.
