Patent number: 6570679Abstract: When an operator sets an original on a reading unit of an image reading apparatus, and requests to read the original and assigns a communication partner on a LAN (local area network) through an operation unit, this information is transmitted to an information processing terminal connected via an interface. The information processing terminal determines if information which coincides with identification information of the assigned communication partner is present. If the result of the determination is affirmative, the information processing terminal instructs the image reading apparatus to start a reading operation. If the result of the determination is negative, the information processing terminal prohibits a reading operation. When a reading operation has been prohibited, the image reading apparatus displays the fact on the operation unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1997Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masaru Saruwatari

Patent number: 5973791Abstract: Document data is transferred from a facsimile server 118 to a facsimile apparatus 201 to transmit the document data to a plurality of destinations via a communication line 116. The document data is stored in an image memory in the facsimile apparatus 201. A cover page specific to each of the destinations is input from the facsimile server 118 to the facsimile apparatus 201. The facsimile server 118 specifies IDs and the order of transmission of the files so that the cover page is transmitted first, followed by the document data, in a series of information. The facsimile apparatus 201 transmits them to the proper destination in accordance with the cover page. This process is repeated each time a cover page input is made until transmission to all destinations is completed.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1997Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Soichi Yamamuro, Seishi Ejiri, Masaya Kondo, Takekazu Kumagai, Takeshi Tsukamoto, Kazuomi Oishi, Masaru Saruwatari, Masaki Toyama

Patent number: 5949978Abstract: When data is to be sent from a communication apparatus connected to a local area network (LAN) to a destination communication apparatus via a communication line, communication parameters related to the destination communication apparatus are inquired to a predetermined terminal apparatus upon reception of a transmission request from a terminal apparatus connected to the LAN. Communication control of the data is performed in accordance with the transmission request based on the communication parameters obtained by the inquiry. Also transmission control of the data is performed in accordance with a communication mode decided based upon the result of an interpretation of reception capability of the destination communication apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1996Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaya Kondo, Koichi Matsumoto, Kazutaka Matsueda, Soichi Yamamuro, Fumio Shoji, Masaru Saruwatari
