A system for integrating electronic mail, voice mail and fax mail in a universal mailbox. Message receivers (36) may access their messages (12) with a telephone (24) or a computer (20) regardless of the communication medium used by the message sender (34). Using a telephone (24), message receivers (36) may playback voice mail, redirect fax mail, and "listen" to e-mail through a text-to-speech conversion process. Using a computer and modem (20), message receivers (36) may playback voice mail, view fax mail, and read e-mail by accessing the universal mailbox via connection software. Message senders (34) and receivers (36) may choose from a variety of filter and forward options that allow them to manage their communications via the universal mailbox. Forwarding and conversion of messages is performed automatically. The options define a set of rules to be applied to inbound and outbound messages so that messages are sent and received in accordance with the preferences of the senders (34) and receivers (36).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transmitting class 1, 2, or 3 facsimile image data over Internet Global Area Networks is shown. A first device (16) converts facsimile image data from a local facsimile machine (14) into electronic mail format data and transmits the electronic mail format data over a network (12) to a second remote device (16) which converts the electronic mail format data to facsimile image data for print out by a remote facsimile machine (26) connected thereto.

摘要:
An image processing apparatus (101) capable of communicating with an external apparatus (102) via a network (110) registers a transfer setting containing an ID for identifying destination information stored in the external apparatus to transfer received image data, acquires the destination information corresponding to the ID contained in the registered transfer setting from the external apparatus, and transfers the received image data using the acquired destination information. When the destination information cannot be acquired, a cause why the destination information cannot be acquired is determined, and if the cause why the destination information cannot be acquired is due to a communication error with the external apparatus, the registered transfer setting is not invalidated and when the cause why the destination information cannot be acquired is that no destination information corresponding to the ID is stored by the external apparatus, the registered transfer setting is invalidated.
摘要:
A facsimile apparatus that receives an e-mail message through a local area network, stores image data contained in the e-mail message in a data storage unit, converts the image data stored in the data storage unit into image data that a facsimile terminal can properly handle, and transfers the converted image data to the facsimile terminal. The facsimile apparatus accordingly can transfer the image data contained in the received e-mail message to the facsimile terminal even if the facsimile terminal cannot receive e-mail messages.
摘要:
A system is disclosed for integrated electronic mail, voice mail, and fax mail messaging. A common message format is defined for use by an electronic mail service (10) and a telecommunications service (12) so electronic mail messages that may include voice and fax mail attachments may be exchanged between the services. Message senders (18) and receivers (22) may choose from a variety of filter and forward options that allow them to manage their communications and specify a preference for receiving messages (16) at the electronic mail or telecommunications service. Forwarding and conversion of messages is performed automatically. The options are used to define a set of rules to be applied to inbound and outbound messages so that messages are sent and received in accordance with the preferences of the senders and receivers.
