摘要:
A facsimile system having a proximity sensor for automatically converting an operating mode such as a telephone mode, a facsimile mode, a telephone/facsimile mode, and a telephone answer mode of a facsimile system. The facsimile system includes an key input unit for allowing a user to set the facsimile system in an AUTO mode; a proximity sensor for sensing whether the user is within a proximity zone of the facsimile system; and a controller for automatically changing an operation mode of the facsimile system from the telephone mode to the facsimile mode, when the facsimile system is set in the AUTO mode and when the user is not within the proximity zone of the facsimile system.

A visual telephone apparatus of the present invention is capable of deciding whether the apparatus of the other party of communication is a normal telephone apparatus or facsimile equipment by the operator who hears the data received from a connected communication medium or automatically by analysis of the procedure of controlling the communication with the apparatus of the other party, and transmitting the data obtained by photographing a subject in accordance with the communication specification corresponding to the apparatus decided, as well as receiving the data from the apparatus of the other party in accordance with the communication specification corresponding to the apparatus decided and displaying the data on a display unit. The apparatus is also capable of visual telephone communication with a visual telephone set and facsimile communication with facsimile terminal equipment.
摘要:
A method of processing a call back message in a facsimile system performing a voice communication function after communication of the image data is completed. A ring signal is generated in response to reception of a voice communication request signal requesting for a voice communication after completion of the image data communication. If the intended recipient of the receiving facsimile system is not available to answer the voice communication request, identification information of a counterpart's facsimile system and communication time are stored in a memory for a visual display in order to inform the intended recipient to call back at some later time.
摘要:
A communications system connected to a telephone network includes a facsimile machine and a telephone set. The telephone set includes a telephone for conducting voice communications over the telephone network and a telephone answering machine for automatically responding to calls received by the telephone set over the telephone network. One or more operational parameters of the answering machine are set to define how it automatically responds to calls. A switch connects either the facsimile machine or the telephone set to a telephone network. One or more operational parameters of the answering machine is initially detected and stored. A controller controls the switch to connect either the facsimile machine or the telephone set to a telephone network based on a comparison of the stored parameter(s) and subsequently detected operational parameter(s) detected when the answering machine responds to a call.
摘要:
An externally attached handset connected between an end terminal of a mobile communication system and a data communication end terminal which handset is connected via a speaker/microphone terminal on the end terminal of the mobile communication system. The handset comprises a speaker, a microphone, a detecting device detecting a data communication signal, and an on/off circuit device which automatically disconnects a microphone from a microphone signal line when data communication is performed. The handset may further includes a display device which indicates that data communication is being performed.
摘要:
A communication system of this invention is constituted by a controller which accommodates a plurality of extensions connected to an office line and telephones, and includes a facsimile unit for performing facsimile communication with another communication apparatus through the office line, and a plurality of telephones connected to the extensions. The controller can inform an operation state during facsimile communication to the connecting telephone. The operation state of the facsimile unit can be recognized at the telephone. Information received by the facsimile unit can be confirmed at the telephone, and some data received by the facsimile unit can be controlled by the telephone. A registration result of an index number can be commonly used by the telephone and the facsimile unit.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: accumulate a document received by FAX in a storage; control output of the accumulated document based on an operation of a user; and set a state of the document to unread in response to the document being accumulated in the storage, and set the state of the document to already read on condition that output of all pages of the document is completed.
摘要:
A method and system are provided for forwarding telephone calls, facsimile transmissions and electronic messages to a single forwarding telephone number. The telephone calls, fax transmissions and electronic messages are first forwarded to a central forwarding repository by the forwarding party where the fax transmissions, and messages are converted to audio formats. Forwarded telephone calls and audio formatted versions of the fax transmissions and electronic messages are then forwarded directly to a designated forwarding number. If the forwarding party answers at the forwarding number, she will receive forwarded calls, and the audio formatted versions of fax transmissions and electronic messages will be played to her over her telephone. If the forwarding party does not answer the forwarded call, she subsequently may retrieve saved telephone calls, saved telephone messages and saved audio versions of fax transmissions and electronic messages from the central forwarding repository.

The forwarding party may retrieve saved messages as a retrieving party from the central forwarding repository after entry of a personal identification number to authenticate the forwarding (retrieving) party's permission to retrieve saved calls and messages.
