Abstract:
There is disclosed a communication apparatus to which connected are plural telephone units and data communication units, such as facsimile units, wherein the data communication units can be controlled by instructions from the telephone units.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a control circuit for switching between a facsimile unit and an automatic answering telephone unit. A current detecting circuit with satisfactory linearity between the mutually insulated input and output sides is used for detecting a DC current on a communication line, indicating a communication state of the telephone unit and also for detecting an AC signal, representing a speech communication signal and used for recording an incoming message in the automatic answering telephone unit. This structure allows to insulate the recording circuit and the facsimile circuit from the communication line without a transformer, thereby reducing cost and dimension of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A cordless telephone includes a stand for a handset that receives voice signals via a radio network. The stand has a charging circuit. In a speaker-phone conversation mode, a speaker in the stand reproduces a received voice signal via a speaker-phone voice control unit.
Abstract:
A management apparatus by which one of facsimile apparatuses that externally receives facsimile data is selected based on current power modes of the facsimile apparatuses. Facsimile data can be transmitted from any of a FAX and MFPs on an IP communication network. One of MFPs which are not in a power saving mode is selected by the management apparatus, and a URI of the selected MFP is registered in an SIP server. When facsimile data whose original transmission destination is an MFP which is in a power saving mode is transmitted, the facsimile data is transferred to and alternatively received by the selected MFP.
Abstract:
An information reproducing apparatus includes reproduction device for reproducing information recorded on a medium, and a controller for starting the reproduction of information by the reproduction device from a position indicated by data showing a predetermined position on the medium and stopping the reproduction of information by the reproduction device when predetermined information is reproduced by the reproduction device.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a facsimile apparatus or the like with plural feeding units for feeding sheets of different sizes, in which a sheet of smaller size is automatically selected for recording information necessary for monitoring the functioning of the apparatus, thereby avoiding unnecessary consumption of recording sheets.

Abstract:
A communication system comprises a plurality of speech communication terminals each having apparatus for inputting data representing a station. A call is issued in accordance with the data from the communication terminal, and the system receives call data representing a station which responds to the call. The data received by the system is compared with the data input from the speech communication terminal and display units of the speech communication units are controlled in accordance with the comparison result.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes a facsimile system for performing data communication, a plurality of telephone sets for performing speech communication; and a control unit for controlling the facsimile system. Each telephone set includes a display unit for displaying a state of data communication. The control unit selectively sends information associated with the state of the facsimile system to the telephone sets to cause the display units to display the state of the facsimile system.
Abstract:
An image communication apparatus includes a plurality of speech or nonspeech communication terminals and a line controller for connecting the plurality of terminals to a communication line. Each of the terminals includes an image reader circuit for reading an original image, and the line controller includes a transmitter for transmitting image data by the image reader circuit to the communication line.
