Abstract: A facsimile according includes a telephone controller for controlling communications with its handsets and a facsimile communications controller for controlling facsimile communications, wherein the telephone controller includes a radio communications section for performing radio communications with the handsets, a line controller connected to a telephone line for receiving various signals such as a ringing signal, a speech signal and a facsimile signal as well as controlling the lines, a first management section for controlling voice communications and communications related to the facsimile signal, and a first communications section for performing serial communications of a facsimile signal with the facsimile communications controller, that the facsimile communications controller includes a second communications section for performing serial communications of a facsimile signal from a first communications section of the telephone controller and a second management section for receiving a facsimile signal fr

Abstract: Disclosed is a facsimile apparatus showing easily and visually an external event occurrence or an internal state change of the apparatus. In this facsimile apparatus, call-in detecting means detects a call-in. Number display signal detecting means detects a number display signal. Luminous display body color control means controls the display color of a luminous display body. Further, when the call-in detecting means detects a call-in and the telephone number indicated by the number display signal detected by the number display signal detecting means is matched with a telephone number registered in the facsimile apparatus, the luminous display body color control means illuminates the luminous display body by designating a predetermined color corresponding to the matched telephone number.

Abstract: A facsimile machine includes a phase/amplitude fluctuation detector for quantitatively detecting fluctuation of the phase and amplitude of data received at a modem and a reception speed determiner for determining if the reception is to be continued or not and at which communication speed the data is to be received if reception is to continue, based on the fluctuation values detected at the phase/amplitude fluctuation detection means. The facsimile machine quantitatively detects the fluctuation values of the phase and the amplitude of the signal being received. When the fluctuation values exceed a designated range, even if the bit-pattern of the received data is normal, the facsimile machine starts receiving video information via a one-step reduced communication speed and therefore can accurately receive the video information even if the telephone circuit condition is not good.
