| 20080198986 | DATA COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND DATA COMMUNICATION METHOD - When data communication is performed by using a call control protocol, a data communication apparatus receives a call connection request message from an external apparatus and transmits a response message in reply to the call connection request message. At that time, when the call connection request message is received, it is determined whether a call connection process for communication with another external apparatus differing from the external apparatus is under execution. Transmission of the response message is controlled based on a result of the determination. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090109462 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An image forming apparatus is provided that holds counter information obtained by integrating a consumption of a consumable that depends on usage of service provided by the image forming apparatus. A log corresponding to the usage of the service is set in job log information with a synchronization flag set off. The log in the job log information, for which the synchronization flag is set off, is set on. The counter information and the job log information are output after the synchronization flag for the log having the synchronization flag set off has been set on. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100131609 | E-MAIL COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, E-MAIL COMMUNICATION METHOD AND PROGRAM - To provide an e-mail communication apparatus, an e-mail communication method and a program capable of, in the case of receiving e-mail which is split e-mails including request-to-send (RTS) information for transmitting the e-mail to a predetermined destination, suitably performing transmittal confirmation without transmitting to a source the e-mail of the transmittal confirmation as to each of multiple pieces of the split e-mails. First, an MFP | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100245908 | IMAGE COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image communication apparatus that transmits input image data when detecting that a designated recipient has logged in an external apparatus. An MFP as an image communication apparatus includes a scanner for inputting image data and an operation unit for designating a recipient by whom the input image data should be received. When it is detected that the designated recipient has logged in another MFP which is a transmission destination of the input image data, the input image data is transmitted to the transmission destination MFP. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110043867 | FACSIMILE MACHINE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - A facsimile machine that enables to limit a facsimile transmission based on a network address converted from an inputted telephone number, and provides a facsimile transmission based on a network address designated as a destination of received image data. An input unit inputs a telephone number of a transmitting destination. A setting unit sets a transmission limit domain to which a facsimile transmission is limited. An acquisition unit adapted to acquire a network address corresponding to the telephone number inputted via the input unit. A control unit that limits a facsimile transmission of which the transmitting destination is the acquired network address based on a domain of the network address acquired by the acquisition unit and the transmission limit domain set by the setting unit. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110188078 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus stores a plurality of conversion conditions for converting input image data and, if the image data is converted according to each conversion condition, information indicating a relationship between a data size of the image data before conversion and a data size of transmission data that is acquired after conversion by associating the conversion conditions and the information with each other; sets the conversion condition for converting the input image data according to an instruction from a user, estimates the data size of the transmission data that is acquired if the input image data is converted according to the set conversion condition, using the stored information; and issues a notification to the user based on a result of the estimation. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20080301234 | Communication Apparatus, Information Processing Method, Program, and Storage Medium - This invention has as its object to avoid occurrence of garble even when an e-mail message to be created includes text information described in character codes of different kinds of language. To achieve this object, a communication apparatus according to this invention includes an input unit which inputs image information, a recognition unit which extracts text information included in the image information input by the input unit, and recognizing a type of character code of the extracted text information, an embedding unit which embeds the extracted text information in a text of e-mail using character codes of the type recognized by the recognition unit, and describing the recognized type ( | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090150493 | Transmission Apparatus, Reception Apparatus, Control Method Thereof, Communication System, and Program - A transmission apparatus transmits e-mail to a reception apparatus through a network by selecting one of a communication method via a mail server and a communication method without intervention of a mail server. This transmission apparatus generates the e-mail and transmits, to the reception apparatus, the e-mail and information representing the reply method of a transmittal confirmation request in response to the e-mail. The transmission apparatus receives, from the reception apparatus in accordance with the reply method, a transmittal confirmation result in response to the transmitted e-mail. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100153508 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - Disclosed is a communication apparatus in which it is possible to change the size of data transmitted at one time, the data size being changed to one size in case of transmission of e-mail via a mail server and to different size in case of transmission that is not performed via a mail server. E-mail data having image data as an attached file is generated and it is determined whether a predetermined server will intervene when e-mail is transmitted to a transmission destination. When it has been decided that the destination will be a mail server, it is determined whether the e-mail data has exceeded a prescribed size. E-mail data for which it has been determined that the prescribed size is exceeded is divided into a plurality of segments and then the e-mail data is transmitted to destination decided. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100153510 | COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AN IMAGE BY ELECTRONIC MAIL - A communications device and method for transmitting e-mail with image data attached as an attachment file can select whether to send the e-mail directly to the recipient or via a mail server, depending on the address of the e-mail to be transmitted. As a result, the disclosed device and method can reduce the load on the mail server and transmit large volumes of data reliably. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100171985 | IMAGE COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - An image communication apparatus for sending an email attached with image data stores an email address corresponding to the image communication apparatus, and obtains another email address different from the email address corresponding to the image communication apparatus, the other email address corresponding to a user who sends the email. The other email address which is obtained is set to a header part of the email, and the email, of which the header part is set with the other email address, is sent to an email server in accordance with SMTP protocol. The email server is notified of the stored email address through a MAIL command used in the SMTP protocol. | 07-08-2010 |
