Abstract:
The present invention selects a channel to be used in facsimile-transmitting image information included in e-mail subjected to relay request in accordance with channel selection information included in said e-mail.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting electronic mail messages in a local network using information of dynamic routing to provide the electronic mail with service of the required type. A message written by means of a user program 24 is sent to a queue dispatcher 25 which sends information on the address of reception and type of service for the electronic mail to unit 26 for determining a message transmission route. Unit 26 for determining a route controls routing table 27, changing it at the request of control unit 28, and transmits information on the network unit which is the point of destination to the queue dispatcher 25. A communication unit 29 transmits and receives electronic mail and data for making up the routing table.
Abstract:
An electronic mail converting apparatus for facsimile that includes connections connecting to a facsimile, a public network, and a LAN. The connections may be internally changed according to the type of data or an instruction received. A converting device exists for converting data to e-mail data or vice versa, as required, wherein the converted data is transmitted to an instructed designation.
Abstract:
A method and a structure for providing electronic mail, facsimile transmission and file transfer maintain a data base in which the communication parameters of a local computer are maintained separately from the communication parameters of a remote computer which communicates the local computer. The data base includes an electronic address book in which a method and a structure are provided for specifying person, group, computer, calling card and service data. The person type data includes specification of a preference for data, or facsimile transmission. Service information are efficiently added because of modularly designed application programming interface. A method and a structure are also provided to allow synchronization between files residing on different computers.
Abstract:
A portable asset inspection device can be used during the inspection of one or more assets, such as assets in a processing or other environment. A camera in the portable asset inspection device can be used to take digital photographs of assets being inspected. A sound recorder in the portable asset inspection device can be used to record oral notes of a user or other sounds associated with the inspection of the assets. Other data could be collected from the user using the portable asset inspection device. The collected data can be transmitted in either real-time or non-real-time to an external system. The external system could associate photographs, sound recordings, and other data with specific assets, such as by automatically storing the data in records associated with the correct assets. The external system could also use the data in any suitable manner, such as to schedule asset maintenance.
Abstract:
A system and a method including allowing a transmitting facsimile device and a receiving facsimile device to select a preferable communications network by enabling the receiving facsimile device to advertise both communication network capability data associated with the receiving facsimile device and addressing identifiers associated with the communication network capability data and the receiving facsimile device, enabling the transmitting facsimile device to read the advertised communication network capability data and the advertised addressing identifiers associated with the communication network capability data and the receiving facsimile device, and enabling a selection logic to preferentially select a communication network chosen from the advertised communication network capability data that is also compatible with the transmitting facsimile device's capabilities.
Abstract:
A communication device configured to be connected with a public network and an IP network is provided, the communication device including a communication controller that selectively performs one of a public line communication process via the public network and an IP communication process via the IP network. When determining that a redialing process to reattempt the IP communication process via the IP network is unlikely to be successfully performed, the communication controller performs a fallback process to attempt the public line communication process via the public network after switching from the IP communication process via the IP network to the public line communication process via the public network, in a situation where a setting for performing the fallback process is configured. When determining that the redialing process via the IP network is not unlikely to be successfully performed, the communication controller performs the redialing process.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprises: a conversion unit that converts an original into image data by scanning the original; a detection unit that detects a blank page in the image data converted by the conversion unit; a separation unit that deletes image data of the blank page detected by the separation unit from the converted image data; and a transmission unit that transmits to an external apparatus (a) the converted image data from which the image data of the blank page is separated by the separation unit, (b) the separated image data of the blank page, and (c) notification information formed based on a separation result by the separation unit.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus that enables to appropriately perform IP filtering even when communication via a network is performed by a user inputting a destination phone number. An IP filter permits or rejects communication on the basis of a set IP address. An input unit inputs a phone number. An acquisition unit acquires an IP address corresponding to the phone number inputted by the input unit from a server connected to the network. A setting unit sets the IP filter so that communication using the IP address acquired by the acquisition unit is permitted.
Abstract:
A method for ensuring reliable transmission of a DCN signal by a gateway is disclosed. When acting as a sending gateway, the gateway packs a DCN signal detected into an IFP packet and sends the IFP packet to the IP side, then, reports a fax end event to a Soft Switch after a designated delay period; and the Soft Switch issues a State Switching Command for switching the two gateways back to voice state after receiving the fax end event. When acting as a receiving gateway, the gateway modulates a DCN signal detected and sends the modulated DCN signal to a receiving facsimile machine; if a switching command issued by a Soft Switch is received during sending the DCN signal, the gateway delays the switching; if the gateway has not received a switching command after the DCN data is sent, the gateway initiatively reports a fax end event.
