- FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a server arranged on a network to which the Internet facsimile apparatus according to the embodiment is connected.
- FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of a system including an Internet facsimile apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- This system is composed of a source Internet Facsimile machine 1, an Internet Facsimile machine 2 serving as a repeater, a server 3 having a routing information table, and a final destination Facsimile machine 4. ing. Further, the Internet facsimile machine 1, the Internet facsimile machine 2, and the server 3 are all connected to a network capable of e-mail communication. Further, the Internet facsimile apparatus 2 and the final destination facsimile apparatus 4 perform facsimile communication through a normal public line network.
- the Internet facsimile machine as a repeater is abbreviated as “relay machine” and the final destination facsimile machine is abbreviated as “final destination”.
- the Internet facsimile apparatuses 1 and 2 include a scanner unit that reads an original to generate image information, a data conversion unit that converts the data format of the image information, a transmission / reception unit that sends and receives an e-mail attached with the image information, It is mainly composed of a recording unit that records image information on recording paper, a control unit that controls each unit, and an operation unit that includes various operation buttons and transmits an operator's instruction to the control unit. For example, when transmitting image information from the Internet facsimile machine 1 to the Internet facsimile machine 2, the operator sets a document on the scanner unit, specifies a destination fax number on the operation unit, and presses the start button. Do the work.
- the document is read by the scanner unit under the control of the control unit, and image information is generated.
- the generated image information is converted into e-mail data by the data conversion unit and transmitted from the transmission / reception unit as an e-mail attachment.
- the transmitted e-mail is received by the destination Internet fax facsimile apparatus 2 via the Internet email.
- the image information attached to the received e-mail is converted to facsimile data by the data conversion unit and output to recording paper by the recording unit.
- the server 3 has a database of a route information table in which the FAX number of the final destination 4 is associated with the mail address of the relay device 2.
- This routing information table is composed of the mail address of the repeater, the FAX number of the final destination assigned to each repeater, the reception capability that is the image processing capability of the repeater, and the support data format.
- the management items of the database shown in FIG. This registration may be programmed in advance so that if the operator enters necessary information and transmits it to the server 3 by a predetermined operation, the registration is automatically completed. Upon completion of the registration, the Internet facsimile machine 2 can be used immediately as a repeater.
- the operator obtains these items stored in the data base and performs predetermined operations in accordance with the items, so that the image information can be easily transmitted without negotiating with the repeater. it can.
- the Internet facsimile machine 1 reads the facsimile manuscript. Then, the Internet facsimile machine 1 connects to the server 3 via the Internet and makes an inquiry about a relay mail address. This relay mail address is inquired by notifying the final destination FAX number using a predetermined message command in the electronic mail message.
- the server 3 retrieves the notified final destination FAX number, and returns to the Internet facsimile machine 1 the mailing address of the corresponding repeater, the receiving capability, which is the processing capability of image information, the support data format, etc. I do.
- the operation of the server 3 will be specifically described later.
- the operator can obtain all the information necessary for transmission only by notifying the server 3 of the fax number of the final destination, and confirms the receiving capability of the repeater every time in the communication procedure. There is no need to negotiate with
- an e-mail is transmitted from the Internet facsimile machine 1 to the relay machine 2 according to the mail address of the relay machine notified from the server 3.
- This The e-mail is attached to the data format supported by the repeater, for example, image information converted to the TIFF format, based on the receiving capability of the repeater.
- a relay transfer instruction command having the fax number of the final destination 4 is added to the header information of this e-mail.
- the operator can transmit the necessary relay transfer instruction command and image information in one transmission operation, so that the transmission operation can be simplified and the transmission time can be shortened as a whole.
- the repeater 2 temporarily restores the received image information compressed in the TIFF format, and then executes compression processing such as MR compression, for example, to convert the information into data that can be received by the final destination 4. Furthermore, the FAX number of the final destination 4 is cut out from the received e-mail based on the relay transfer instruction command, and the image information is transmitted to the destination.
- compression processing such as MR compression, for example
- the repeater 2 converts the header information of the received e-mail into image information, compresses the image information into the same data format as the image information, and transmits the image data together with the image information. Header information that is not output can be output to the final destination 4. As a result, the receiver can obtain all the route information through which facsimile data has passed, such as source information and relay terminal information.
- FIG. 5 is a data configuration diagram of the Internet facsimile machine.
- Fig. 5A shows the data structure before header editing
- Fig. 5B shows the data structure after header editing.
- the e-mail data received by the repeater has various information added as a header before the body of the facsimile image.
- the header information includes items that do not need to be output. If all of them are output to the final destination 4, the received image becomes very difficult to see.
- a filter is applied to delete items other than necessary items such as [From], “To”, and “Subject”. As a result, unnecessary items are not transmitted to the final destination 4, so that an output image that is easy to see at the final destination 4 can be obtained.
- the repeater 2 can appropriately select which item of the header information to delete, it can output necessary header information to the reception screen according to the convenience of the operator.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of a server located on the network to which the Internet facsimile machine is connected.
- the server 3 extracts a message command from the incoming call (ST602) and determines whether or not it is an information notification message. A determination is made (ST603).
- This information notification message is a notification of the capability of the own device performed when a new Internet facsimile apparatus is connected to the network, and a notification for registering the items shown in FIG.
- the database of the server 3 is registered and updated (S ⁇ 604).
- the Internet facsimile machine can be used as a repeater.
- the message command is not an information notification message, then it is determined whether or not it is a relay inquiry message (ST 605). If not, another process is executed (S6). ⁇ 6 0 6). If the message command is a relay inquiry message, a database search is executed by referring to the table at the server 3 (ST607), and the mail address and reception capability of the relay station notified and the support data are transmitted. The evening format is returned to the Internet facsimile machine that made the relay inquiry (ST608).
- the operator can transmit image information via the repeater only by specifying the fax number of the final destination, and can use the telephone network at the final destination. It is possible to obtain an output image that is the same as the output image.
