Abstract:
A facsimile/email communication system for providing a user the ability to send emails from any standalone facsimile machine. The system does not require any additional hardware or software to be installed on equipment being used by a sender. The system further provides a user the ability to logon to a centralized web server and send facsimiles to any standalone fax machine. According to one aspect, the system receives a facsimile from a facsimile machine. The facsimile includes an email cover page having the email address of the intended recipient of the facsimile. The email address is extracted from the email cover page by optical character recognition. The facsimile is then converted into an email with the proper email format. The email is then transmitted to the extracted email address.
Abstract:
A photo is received from a mobile device. The photo is stored at an intermediary server. The photo is formatted at the intermediary server for at least one content provider website. The photo is transmitted to the at least one content provider website. Another method downloads a photo. The method receives in an intermediary web server, content from a content provider website. The content includes at least a photo. The intermediary server determines if the photo is new. If the photo is new, the intermediary server determines if the photo is properly formatted for the mobile device client program and sends the content including the photo to a user device including the client program.
Abstract:
A system and method translates an incoming electronic message (136), for instance an email document in HTML or other format, into a format suitable for transmission to a generally non-network device, such as a facsimile machine. The arriving message is routed to and processed by a network interface station, which captures the incoming message, checks a subscriber's desired output format and destination, and converts the message to that form, invoking native applications for conversion if necessary. Automatic call back can be programmed if the transmission fails, or the system can be set to store the message for the recipient to dial in. Users not having a personal computer and/or an Internet service account can thereby still receive electronic messages such as email, Web page (144) information and others in a manner transparent to sender and receiver.
