Abstract: A VPN device capable of eliminating situations where cross calls occur is provided. The VPN device includes: an identification information acquisition unit that acquires first identification information which is identification information of a communication terminal (103) and second identification information which is identification information of a communication terminal (303); a priority determination unit that determines the priority for initiating a session between the communication terminal (103) and the communication terminal (303) based on the first and second identification information; a message type generation unit that designates the type of a message relating to call control to be transmitted to the communication terminal (303) based on the priority; and a transmission unit that transmits a message of the designated type to the communication terminal (303).

Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus includes a communication section that controls communication to a destination and a browser that analyzes hypertexts, and displays an image in accordance with the analyzed hypertexts on a display, the image having at least an input field. Hardware keys are configured to input numbers and characters, and are selectively operable in a first mode to input a destination number to the communication section in order to communicate with the destination, and in a second mode to input data to the input field. A controller controls a status of the hardware keys in one of the first and second modes. The controller controls the hardware keys to input data to the browser when an input position is in the input field, and controls the hardware keys to input a destination number to the communication section when the input position is out of the input field.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus is connected to a mail server, and receives an electric tail from a mail box. A header analyzing unit analyzes a header portion of the received electric mail so as to obtain a sender ID. Next, a transfer determination unit matches the obtained sender ID and a content of a sender ID column of a transfer management table. When a match is found, the transfer determination unit reads a content of a transfer destination ID column corresponding to the sender ID column in the transfer management table and a content of a transfer attribute column. An appended file portion is deleted from the electric mail in accordance with the content of the read transfer attribute column, “deletion process.” Thereafter, the electric mail from which the appended file portion is deleted is transferred to a transfer destination registered in the read transfer destination ID column.

Abstract: The facsimile apparatus according to the present invention comprises a decision section for checking whether or not the document edit flag is ON when the document sensor detects a document. When the document edit flag is ON, this decision section decides that edited image data are stored in edited document storage area 14A. Then, this decision section checks whether or not to send both the edited image data and paper document. When it decides that both should be sent, this decision section checks whether or not the paper document should be sent first. If the paper document is sent first, this decision section checks whether or not the edited image data should be inserted into the paper document. If the operator selects “Yes”, this decision section decides that the paper document should be scanned by the scanner, sent one page at a time, and when the specified page appears the scanned image data should be sent followed by the rest of the paper document.

Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus includes a communication section that controls communication to a destination and a browser that analyzes hypertexts, and displays an image in accordance with the analyzed hypertexts on a display, the image having at least an input field. Hardware keys are configured to input numbers and characters, and are selectively operable in a first mode to input a destination number to the communication section in order to communicate with the destination, and in a second mode to input data to the input field. An off hook detector detects whether the communication section is in an off hook condition and a controller controls a status of the hardware keys in one of the first and second modes. The controller, when the off hook detector detects that the communication section is in the off hook condition and when the hardware keys are in the second mode, switches the input of the hardware keys, from the second mode to the first mode.

Abstract: The communication terminal apparatus according to the present invention comprises a determination section for checking whether or not a dial key is pressed. If a dial key is pressed, the determination section checks whether the “dial key/browser dual-function” flag in the setting table is ON or OFF. If it is ON, the determination section checks whether the “focus HTML input field” flag is ON or OFF. If it is ON, the determination section determines that the input data of the dial key be subjected to browser input processing. On the other hand, if the “dial key/browser input dual-function” flag is OFF, this determination section determines that the dial key be used for dial input processing.

Abstract: In a picture image communication apparatus having: an ISDN interface for communicating with an ISDN line; a PSTN interface for communicating with an PSTN line; and an ISDN supervisor responsive to the ISDN interface for detecting a status of the ISDN line, for transmitting a video signal indicative of a video image in G3 mode through either of the ISDN line and the PSTN line which is selected in accordance with a command signal, the improvement comprises: a controller for, in the absence of the command signal, judging the status in response to the ISDN supervisor; transmitting the video signal through the ISDN line using the ISDN interface when the status indicates that the ISDN line is usable; for transmitting the video signal through the PSTN line using the PSTN interface when the status indicates that the ISDN line is unusable. It may further comprises a scanner for scanning the video image and for producing the video signal. It may further comprises an interface for receiving the video signal externally.
