  • Publication number: 20150055179
    Abstract: A facsimile apparatus which makes it possible to certainly perform facsimile communication via an IP network. The facsimile makes connection with a communication destination according to Session Initiation Protocol to perform facsimile communication with the communication destination via an IP network. A first connection sequence of starting call connection using a session of performing image communication is executed, and then a second connection sequence of starting call connection using a session of performing voice communication is executed. When one of the first connection sequence and the second connection sequence fails in the call connection, the other of the first connection sequence and the second connection sequence executes the call connection.

  • Publication number: 20150055192
    Abstract: There is provided a technique of, in a communication apparatus capable of executing facsimile communication by a deemed voice scheme, enabling generation of a communication error to be prevented regardless of a voice encoding scheme used to encode a facsimile signal. To achieve this, a communication apparatus (first FAX apparatus) establishes a voice signal transmission session with the second FAX apparatus serving as a partner apparatus in FAX communication for FAX communication by the deemed voice scheme. The first FAX apparatus determines a voice encoding scheme which is used in the established session to encode a FAX signal into a voice signal. In accordance with the determination result, the first FAX apparatus limits modulation schemes usable in generation of the FAX signal when performing FAX communication by the deemed voice scheme.

  • Publication number: 20150055190
    Abstract: There is provided a technique of enabling an operator to confirm partner information in a communication apparatus capable of executing FAX transmission via an IP network, without mounting a new function in a partner apparatus in FAX transmission. To achieve this, when a communication apparatus (IP FAX 1) accepts input of partner information representing a partner apparatus (IP FAX 2) in the FAX transmission via an IP network, it transmits an SIP session establishment request to the partner apparatus. When the communication apparatus receives a response to the session establishment request from the partner apparatus, it prompts an operator to confirm partner information contained in the response before the start of the FAX transmission.

  • Patent number: 8873099
    Abstract: Provided are a facsimile apparatus, a communication apparatus, and a communication method that perform communication using a session established according to a session initiation protocol (SIP). If an INVITE in which a media type is designated as “audio” is received, an INVITE in which a media type is designated as “image” is transmitted. If a success response is made to the transmitted INVITE, an image session is established and facsimile communication or image communication is executed. If an error response is made to the transmitted INVITE, calling processing for calling an operator is started.

  • Patent number: 8370723
    Abstract: A communication apparatus complying with the ITU-T Recommendations v.34 and control method thereof are disclosed. The communication apparatus predicts a timing at which reception of image data in an amount of the error frames sent from another communication device is terminated, based on the number of error frames which are not normally received when receiving image data from the another communication device through a primary channel. The communication apparatus controls to shift from the primary channel to a control channel in accordance with the predicted timing when the image data is received in an amount of the error frames on the primary channel from the another communication device.

  • Patent number: 6437870
    Abstract: A CI signal of a V.8 protocol is transmitted in response to the reception of a DIS signal indicating the provision of a V.8 facility, and the V.8 protocol is executed in response to the reception of an ANSam signal of V.8, and when the DIS signal indicating the provision of the V.8 facility is received without receiving the ANSam signal, the CI signal is retransmitted. When a transmitting station or a receiving station does not have a V.34 facility after the V.8 protocol, the DIS signal indicating the non-provision of the V.8 facility is transmitted. Thus, when the V.8 protocol facility is provided with a facsimile apparatus, communication with a conventional apparatus having only a T.30 protocol is attained.

  • Patent number: 5974123
    Abstract: Disclosed is a facsimile apparatus equipped with an automatic answering telephone function, as well as a communication method in this apparatus. When a tone signal from a line is detected after the start of storage of a voice message in response to an incoming call, the voice message presently being recorded is not counted as a received message and a voice message received next is stored in the area in which storage has just been performed. Further, when a DTFM signal, which is a control signal of the automatic answering telephone, is detected, a transition is made to facsimile communication in response to a CNG signal. Thus, erroneous operation in facsimile communication due to a CNG signal recorded in the automatic answering telephone is prevented.
