Abstract: The present invention provides an image coding method that efficiently compresses an image read through an optical system and significantly improves the quality of reproduced images. Image area separation section 2001 carries out image area decision in tile (macro block) units to separate the image into photographic image tiles and character image tiles. Then, layer separation section 2003 performs layer separation pixel by pixel to separate each pixel into pixels belonging to a background and pixels belonging to a foreground. Approximation processors 2008 and 2009 alleviate an increase of entropy due to layer separation through approximation processing and carry out JPEG-like processing on photographic images. The images are then subjected to coding with variable-length codes such as arithmetic codes. The coding rate is subjected to feedback control as appropriate taking into account the performance of the apparatus.

Abstract: A dial-up internet facsimile apparatus comprises a modem that makes dialup connection to a service provider of e-mail via telephone line, an operation section that has a stop button, and an e-mail reception section that receives e-mail data from the connected service provider. When the stop button is pressed while receiving the email data, the e-mail reception section disconnects the connection to the service provider without waiting for the completion of the reception of the email data. This procedure prevents unnecessary telephone charges.

Abstract: An encrypting device is provided that ensures confidentiality of an email transmitted from an Internet facsimile machine (IFAX), without any additional components or construction added to an existing IFAX. A signal type detecting section detects a type of a signal received through an interface section connected to an IFAX. When a predetermined signal type is detected, a mail data communication section receives email data. Then, after an encrypting section encrypts the received email data, the mail data communication section transmits the encrypted email data through an interface section connected to a network.

Abstract: A communication control apparatus detects a predetermined signal type in accordance with SMTP protocol from a first interface section connected to an IFAX. The communication control apparatus controls communication with the IFAX in accordance with the SMPT protocol when the predetermined signal type is detected. On the other hand, the communication control apparatus controls communication with a server via a second interface section connected to a network, to which the IFAX is connected. The network is managed by the server. The communication control apparatus receives email data from the IFAX, converts it into HTML data, and transmits the HRML data to the server. Accordingly, the communication control apparatus is capable of enabling the IFAX to operate on the network managed by a HTTP protocol.

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.

Abstract: A security system that protects an apparatus from (e.g. theft) comprises at least one secured apparatus having an identification code, an operation center having a memory with the identification code of the secured apparatus stored in association with an operation-permitting code and a gateway apparatus connecting the secured apparatus and the operation center. The gateway apparatus and the operation center are connected via a permanently connectable line, which is not subject to connection time charges. When the secured apparatus is turned on, the secured apparatus transmits the identification code to the operation center via the line. Then, the operation center searches the table for an operation-permitting code corresponding to the identification code, and transmits the operation-permitting code retrieved from the memory to the secured apparatus via the line, if the operation-permitting code corresponding to the identification code is found.

Abstract: A communication apparatus comprises a destination obtainer that obtains a destination address, a telephone network interface that connects to a public switched telephone network and a LAN interface that connects to an Internet. Further the communication apparatus includes a communication controller, an Internet communication controller and a network communication controller. The communication controller analyzes the destination address obtained by the obtainer to determine whether communication is performed via the telephone network interface or via the LAN interface. The Internet communication controller performs voice transmission over the Internet via the LAN interface when the communication controller determines that the communication is performed via the LAN interface and the network communication controller performs voice transmission over the public switched telephone network via said telephone network interface.
