  • Publication number: 20070174298
    Abstract: A digital MFP accesses a web server registered in a first routine site table, and acquires RSS data. The digital MFP creates an updated content database based on the acquired RSS data. From the web server, the digital MFP downloads content including a set search keyword among updated information of contents included in the RSS data. Then, the downloaded content is stored into a content database. Alternatively, the downloaded content is printed out from a printer unit. Users in an office access the digital MFP to refer to the downloaded content, and efficiently share information.

  • Publication number: 20070165269
    Abstract: A recipient communication terminal device, that can communicate in a V.34 communication mode, communicates with a transmitter communication terminal device, that cannot communicate in the V.34 communication mode. The transmitter device detects whether or not the recipient device includes V.8 communication mode capability in accordance with a received digital identification signal (DIS). When the transmitter device detects that the recipient device includes V.8 communication mode capability, the transmitter device generates a silent state for a prescribed period of time as a response to the received DIS, or stands by without responding to the received DIS until a second DIS is received.

  • Publication number: 20070165652
    Abstract: A facsimile machine, which is an analog communication terminal connected to a facsimile machine of another end via an IP network, monitors a silence generating interval by detecting energy of a signal received from the facsimile machine of the other end. When a silent state generates periodically, the facsimile machine judges that the communication is abnormal caused by a packet loss. When the communication is judged to be abnormal, the communication is interrupted or the communication speed is decelerated.

  • Patent number: 7242496
    Abstract: A facsimile machine provides file specifying information of a transmission file to an agent software. The agent software runs an appropriate application program in accordance with the file specifying information. By using this function, a prescribed file on a data conversion device is converted directly into an image content via a network from the facsimile machine. Accordingly, a facsimile transmission of the image content to a prescribed destination can be carried out just by an operation from the facsimile machine. As a result, an efficiency of a facsimile transmission process is improved.

  • Patent number: 7243128
    Abstract: To provide a communication device which can obtain information necessary at a transmitter without placing a burden on a receiver. The control unit prepares an original document by being scanned by the scanning unit, received by the facsimile communication unit, or received by the network communication unit. By comparing a condition for the above operations and a condition set in the distribution table within the storage unit, it can be determined whether or not there is a destination or a reply document, and the reply document can be specified. When including the reply document in an electronic mail, the electronic mail is formed by including the original document and the specified reply document, and the formed electronic mail is transmitted to the destination from the network communication unit. The reply document can include an indication for handling and processing the document, or an input column for the information necessary at the transmitter.
