| 20100103473 | FACSIMILE MACHINE - A facsimile machine, capable of being connected to an external telephone, including a data access apparatus in the form of a semiconductor device, includes a power circuit configured to output a calling signal and supply voltage to the external telephone; a relay configured to switch between a first state in which the external telephone is connected to the power circuit and a second state in which the external telephone is connected to a public line; a detection portion configured to detect a signal level of a signal line between the power circuit and the relay; and a control portion configured to issue an output instruction of the calling signal to the power circuit on the basis of the content of a signal received by the data access apparatus and a detection result obtained by the detection portion in the first state. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20090303548 | SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED FAX COMMUNICATION - A system and method transmit and receive information through a telephony based communication channel by scanning a hardcopy image to convert the hardcopy image into an electronic image and adding non-facsimile-communication-protocol/non-facsimile-image digital data to an electronic image to be transmitted by a telephony based communication circuit. Non-facsimile-communication-protocol/non-facsimile-image digital data is detected within an electronic image received from another facsimile system transmitting the electronic image based upon a telephony based communication protocol. Data received from another facsimile system transmitting the data based upon a telephony based communication protocol is directed, through a network based communication circuit, to a network based processing system, in response to detection of non-facsimile-communication-protocol/non-facsimile-image digital data within the data received from another facsimile system transmitting the data based upon a telephony based communication protocol. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20080212144 | Methods and apparatus for secure facsimile transmissions to electronic storage destinations - A method for a computer includes determining a call-in fax telephone number called by a facsimile transmission device, receiving the facsimile transmission from a facsimile transmission device including a digitized representation of a transmission page including an optical representation of a e-mail address, determining the e-mail address optically, which is independent of the call-in number, determining a graphics template associated with the call-in number, combining a digitized representation of the transmission page with the graphics template to form a digitized representation of a composite page, formatting the digitized representation of the composite page into a second format, determining additional service provider data in response to the facsimile or the scanned image, and transmitting the additional service provider data and the digitized representation of the composite page in the second format to the electronic destination address. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080239407 | FACSIMILE SYSTEM - A facsimile system having a facsimile server, an administrative terminal, a sender facsimile machine, and receiver facsimile machines is provided. The sender facsimile machine includes a sender-side transmitter unit to transmit facsimile usable data and first information to the facsimile server. The administrative terminal includes a terminal-side data storage to store second information and location information, an input unit, a terminal-side receiver unit, a search unit to search for the second information corresponding to the first information, and a terminal-side transmitter unit to transmit the location information to the facsimile server. The facsimile server includes a server-side receiver unit to receive the facsimile usable data and the first information, a server-side data storage, and a server-side transmitter unit to transmit the first information to the administrative terminal and the facsimile usable data to the receiver facsimile machine. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080309986 | Binary Data Relay Systems and Methods of Real-Time Communication of Binary Data Through a Peer-To-Peer Network - Binary data relay systems and methods are disclosed to allow users of peer-to-peer (P2P) communications networks designed for voice transport to send facsimile (fax) messages between P2P endpoints by using a computer ( | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080218809 | Method and architecture of sending and receiving facsimile over instant messaging software - Systems and methods are disclosed for provisioning a facsimile (fax) service for a client computer over instant messaging software, services or networks. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20100245931 | IMAGE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - An image transmission system including an image processing device and a communicating device which are communicable with each other through an access point in an infrastructure mode through an “m” channel, wherein upon a communication failure in the infrastructure mode, the communication mode is switched from the infrastructure mode to an ad hoc mode in which the two devices are directly communicable with each other through an “n” channel. During the communication in the ad hoc mode, the “m” channel is scanned to detect the access point at a predetermined time interval, and upon detection of the access point through the “m” channel, the communication mode is switched back to the infrastructure mode. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20120170081 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus includes a communication start request receiving unit and a response notification output unit. The communication start request receiving unit receives, via a first communication path, a communication start request that is output from a source communication apparatus and is transmitted via a relay apparatus. The response notification output unit outputs a first response notification or a second response notification to the relay apparatus via the first communication path when the communication start request receiving unit receives, via the first communication path, a communication start request for starting communication using a second communication standard in a case where the number of apparatuses with which the communication apparatus is communicating using the second communication standard has reached a predetermined number. The first response notification indicates that communication is being performed. The second response notification has a lower priority than the first response notification in an arbitration process. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120262761 | Device, System, and Method of Fax Relay - Device, system, and method of fax relay. For example, a fax relay apparatus includes a fax relay session controller which includes: a first converter to convert non-V.34 fax relay streams which are based on non-V.34 modulation and which are incoming from an Internet Protocol (IP) network into V.34 fax relay streams and to forward the converted V.34 fax relay streams to a V.34 fax relay gateway; and a second converter to convert output V.34 fax relay streams of said V.34 fax relay gateway into non-V.34 fax relay streams which are based on non-V.34 modulation and to forward the converted non-V.34 fax relay streams which are based on non-V.34 modulation to a remote device over the IP network. | 10-18-2012 |
