Publication number: 20070005724Abstract: People communicating with each other in remote places can easily connect their communication devices. For example, a user A of an IP telephone unit a1 may have a desire to transmit a still image to a user B talking on an IP telephone unit b1. In such a case, from the IP telephone unit b1, the IP telephone unit a1 obtains the facsimile number of a communication device belonging to user B which can receive still images, for example, a facsimile. The IP telephone unit a1 can transmit the obtained facsimile number to the facsimile device a2 connected by LAN. The facsimile device a2 which has received the number calls the received facsimile number. In other words, the IP telephone unit a1 which includes the communication control device obtains the communication address required for a third communication during a call, and notifies the communication device a2 of the address with the second communication function.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2004Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Junichi Hirai, Keiji Sugiyama, Masashi Takemura
