Abstract: Disclosed is an Internet FAX apparatus which, after receiving an Internet address from a certain destination, can communicate with the same destination in later transmission or during communication by connecting to a LAN and switching to an Internet FAX mode requiring no communication charge. An Internet facsimile apparatus on the receiving side transmits its Internet facsimile function and Internet address on an NSF signal in a standard protocol of G3 facsimile transmission and/or transmits its telephone number, Internet facsimile function, and Internet address on TSI and NSS signals in the standard protocol of G3 facsimile communication. The Internet facsimile apparatus registers an Internet facsimile function and Internet address of a partner apparatus as destination data. The Internet facsimile apparatus communicates with the partner apparatus by using the Internet address in the destination data in later transmission or by disconnecting ordinary facsimile mode communication and switching to the Internet FAX mode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting a facsimile message via a communication network is described, wherein the facsimile message is at least partly transmitted to the called party using an agreed file transfer protocol. When a negotiating step was not successful, the facsimile message is transmitted using a normal facsimile protocol. Thus, the use of file transfer protocol is allowed as a means for transferring facsimile message data, such that a facsimile transmission via packet-switched networks like the Internet can be provided. With modem types other than those defined especially for facsimile use, the date transfer speed is remarkably higher, such that lower transmission costs can be achieved.

Abstract: A facsimile device for transmitting an image data, using the computer communication network via the Internet without users doing the confusing operation. A transmitting-side facsimile device FAX1a determines that which network is used among between the Internet NTW and the public switched telephone network PSTN, by confirming whether or not the information showing to use the Internet NTW is attached to the facsimile number of the destination facsimile device FAX2 (S103). In case of determining to use the Internet NTW (YES by S103), image data that is a transmission copy to the gateway device GTW1 and the facsimile number of the destination facsimile device FAX2 are transmitted (S104). Moreover, the facsimile device is provided, which users can easily select a requested communication network. A transmitting-side facsimile device FAX1a discriminates the beginning number attached in the beginning of the destination number input by users (S204) and confirms that which network is used in sending image data among the internal network K, the public switched telephone network PSTN and the Internet NTW. In case that the use of the Internet NTW (S204 : null*null) is determined, the IP address of the nearest gateway device GTW in the destination facsimile device FAX2 is acquired (S206) and an image data that is a transmission copy and the destination number is transmitted by designating the IP address as a destination (S207).

Abstract: The communication cost for image information transmission from a facsimile machine connected to the international PSTN to an overseas destination is significantly reduced by causing a first repeater Internet facsimile machine installed in the same country as the transmitting machine to perform a repeater operation for transferring the image information to a second repeater Internet facsimile machine installed in the same country as the recipient machine. The cost is reduced because no additional communication charge is incurred for the image information transfer between the repeater Internet facsimile machines.

Abstract: When an IFAX processing section transmits image information using e-mail, a timer monitoring section starts the count of a timer. After starting the count, a received mail determining section determines whether or not a timeout occurs. Also, the received mail determining section determined whether an error mail of a current job or a DSN of the current job is received. In the case of the timeout, when the notification content of the error mail or the DSN is an abnormal end, a transmission selecting section instructs a FAX control section to transmit an image information file of the current job to a telephone number. Thereafter, the transmission selecting section instructs an image information managing section to erase an image information file corresponding to a file name of the current job. This makes it possible to insure a real-time property as making use of advantages of e-mail.
