Publication number: 20080002224Abstract: A communication apparatus allows an efficient transmission/reception of a document for a sender and a receiver at their respective desired time and location. When a first user transmits a document using a facsimile machine (transmitting device) managed by a server, first, an account of the transmitting device is registered on the server. In such a state, when the first user inputs an account of a second user as a destination into the transmitting device, the transmitting device inquires the server of a registration status of the second user. The server checks the registration status of the account of the second user. When the account of the second user is registered on any facsimile machine (receiving device), the server notifies the transmitting device that the account of the second user is registered on the receiving device. Then, the transmitting device transmits a connection demand to the receiving device to transmit data of the document.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2007Publication date: January 3, 2008Applicant: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yoshifumi Tanimoto

Publication number: 20070295815Abstract: A counter with communication function allows the counts of a counting mechanism to be transmitted through a communication line such as the Internet, so that no meter reading by a meter reader is required. A CPU of a control unit checks the time given in a timer and determines whether the current time and date is the date and time to transmit counts. It drives a bar code reader when it is the date and time to transmit the counts, and the bar code reader reads the counts of a counting mechanism of a copy machine and stores it in a memory. The CPU then gives a user or a management company notice of the read counts and counter information, such as a counter number, through a communication interface, a router and an Internet network by Electronic Mail.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Applicant: MURATA KIKAI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yutaka MORIWAKI, Shoichiro TAKASAKI
