Abstract: When data communication is performed by using a call control protocol, a data communication apparatus receives a call connection request message from an external apparatus and transmits a response message in reply to the call connection request message. At that time, when the call connection request message is received, it is determined whether a call connection process for communication with another external apparatus differing from the external apparatus is under execution. Transmission of the response message is controlled based on a result of the determination.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus which executes a process for document data in a data management unit that manages, as the document data, at least one of application data created by application software and image data converted into a predetermined format on the basis of the application data, an operation window containing document information on the document data managed in the data management unit and a designation unit for designating editing operation to the document data is displayed. When editing operation to the document data for which the application data and image data are managed as the document data is designated via the designation unit in the operation window, notification information representing information on consistency/inconsistency between the application data and the image data is output.

Abstract: An improved e-mail communication apparatus, a data processing method and a program are provided. First, an MFP 100 which receives an e-mail decides whether or not the e-mail is one of a plurality of split data generated by dividing image data in data amount units and stores the e-mail. The MFP 100 then decides whether or not all the split data of the image data are stored, and when all the split data are stored, the MFP 100 generates combined data by combining the plurality of split data and performs printing processing on recording paper based on the combined data.

Abstract: There are provided an image generating apparatus, method, program, and recording medium that eliminate the need for specifying the size of paper on which a captured image is to be printed and are capable of printing the image on paper of a suitable size even when information about the paper size is unavailable. An MFP 101 obtains an image from a device such as a digital camera 105, extracts pixel count information from the image, and determines whether or not the image contains resolution information. If the image does not contain resolution information, the image is transformed to an image of a size that fits an A4-size sheet and the resolution of the image is determined on the basis of the pixel count information. Then, the size-transformed image is printed on an A4-size sheet with the determined resolution.

Abstract: To provide an e-mail communication apparatus, an e-mail communication method and a program capable of, in the case of receiving e-mail which is split e-mails including request-to-send (RTS) information for transmitting the e-mail to a predetermined destination, suitably performing transmittal confirmation without transmitting to a source the e-mail of the transmittal confirmation as to each of multiple pieces of the split e-mails. First, an MFP 100 having received the e-mail determines whether or not the e-mail is one of multiple divided data pieces generated by dividing image data by a data amount so as to store it. In the case where the received data is the divided data, the MFP 100 determines whether or not all the divided data pieces of the image data are stored, and transmits transmittal confirmation mail based on an MDN request if all are stored.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to specifying a sender in detail when image data is attached to email and transmitted from an Internet facsimile device. An MFP (100) has an E-mail transmission mode in which email with an image is transmitted to a general email address, and an IFAX transmission mode in which email with an image is transmitted to an apparatus copying with the IFAX function. In transmitting an image, the MFP (100) authenticates the user in cooperation with an authentication server (102). When the authenticated user selects the IFAX transmission mode, an email address corresponding to the user is acquired from the authentication server (102), and set in the Sender field. The From field holds the email address of a device, similar to the prior art.

Abstract: Provided is an image communication apparatus which describes the mail addresses of all recipients in electronic mail address fields To, Cc, and Bcc, thereby allowing each recipient to check to whom the mail has been transmitted, and which can add the transmission date and time, sender information, recipient information, and the page number information to the header portion of a scanned image.

Abstract: A communication apparatus capable of notifying a receiver of a reception mail error or transmission mail error by printing or the like and preventing incorrect data or error notification mail from being transferred or stored without notifying the user of the error, and a control method and storage medium therefor. To accomplish this, when analysis of electronic mail data reveals a MIME analysis error, BASE64 decoding error, TIFF analysis error, or image decoding error, i.e., when data which cannot be handled by the communication apparatus is contained, a global variable FORWARD is set to “1”. Also, when the received electronic mail is an error notification mail, the variable FORWARD is set to “1”. When the variable FORWARD is set to “1”, transfer and BOX storage of the received mail are inhibited, and the mail is printed by a printer section (2). When the variable FORWARD is not set to “1”, the received mail is transferred to the designated transfer destination or stored by BOX storage.

Abstract: A communications device and method for transmitting e-mail with image data attached as an attachment file can select whether to send the e-mail directly to the recipient or via a mail server, depending on the address of the e-mail to be transmitted. As a result, the disclosed device and method can reduce the load on the mail server and transmit large volumes of data reliably.

Abstract: A communication apparatus which is capable of enhancing security in transmitting an electronic mail to a destination mail address, using a transmission protocol, without degrading operability. A MFP 100 is connected to an authentication server 102 and a mail server 120 via a network, for transmitting an E-mail via the mail server according to SMTP. A user name and a password are entered in a user name entry screen. The MFP 100 requests the authentication server 102 to authenticate the entered user name and password. When the user name and the password are authenticated, the MFP 100 is operable to acquire an E-mail address 232, a SMTP authentication user name 233, and a SMTP authentication password 234 according to SMTP associated with the authenticated user name and password from the authentication server 102. The MFP 100 requests the mail server 103 to authenticate the acquired SMTP authentication user name 233 and SMTP authentication password 234 according to SMTP.

Abstract: Disclosed is a communication apparatus in which it is possible to change the size of data transmitted at one time, the data size being changed to one size in case of transmission of e-mail via a mail server and to different size in case of transmission that is not performed via a mail server. E-mail data having image data as an attached file is generated and it is determined whether a predetermined server will intervene when e-mail is transmitted to a transmission destination. When it has been decided that the destination will be a mail server, it is determined whether the e-mail data has exceeded a prescribed size. E-mail data for which it has been determined that the prescribed size is exceeded is divided into a plurality of segments and then the e-mail data is transmitted to destination decided.
