Abstract: A facsimile capture device is provided that functions in a plurality of operating modes. In a first automatic operating mode, the facsimile device captures received facsimile or “document” data without user intervention, and subsequently transmits the data to a device represented by a capture address. In one embodiment, the data is transmitted to a file management appliance (“FMA”) which utilizes multiple processes and queues to provide document capture and indexing services to a network. In a second manual operating mode, the facsimile device selectively captures and modifies received document data based upon additionally received external input data. The facsimile device is capable transmitting the document data to a plurality of secondary devices utilizing various transmission and encapsulation protocols. In one embodiment, the facsimile device transmits captured document data to indexing and archiving devices according to standard Internet protocols.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus for communicating via an integrated service digital network comprises a reading part for reading a user information attached to a call setup message upon reception and acceptance of a call from other terminals sent via the network, a discrimination part for discriminating the existence, in the user information, of a request for sending a management information to the terminal which has sent the call and further for identifying the type of the requested management information, and a conversion part for converting the requested management information into an image information and for transmission to the terminal requesting the management information via the network.
