Abstract: An image processing apparatus registers voice call destination information and data transmission destination information for a destination in association with each other. The image processing apparatus executes a voice call with the destination using the voice call destination information, and executes, after the voice call, data transmission to the destination using the data transmission destination information in accordance with a data transmission instruction input by the user.

Abstract: A present image communication apparatus performs voice communication with an external apparatus via a network, acquires image communication information indicating an image communication capability of the external apparatus, displays an operation screen that is related to image communication and includes at least information indicating whether or not voice communication can be continued when performing image communication based on the acquired image communication information, and controls image communication in accordance with user input that has been made via the operation screen.

Abstract: A communication apparatus comprises a modem configured to performed FAX communication, and a connection unit configured to connect a telephone apparatus. The communication apparatus detects a CNG signal, and controls, in a case where there is an incoming call in a state in which FAX communication is being performed by the modem, if the CNG signal is not detected in the detecting, so that a signal is supplied from a line to the telephone apparatus, and controls, in a case where there is an incoming call in a state in which FAX communication is not being performed by the modem, if the CNG signal is detected in the detecting, so that FAX communication by the modem is initiated.

Abstract: There is provided with an image communication apparatus. A serial interface transfers data between a master and a slave. The master supplies a clock signal to the slave. An oscillation generator generates a clock signal. A switch selects, and supplies to the slave, either the clock signal output from the oscillation generator or the clock signal from the master. A controller stops an operation of the master and controls the switch such that the clock signal output from the oscillation generator is supplied to the slave, upon transition to a power saving mode.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus which uses a tone output unit that outputs tones when a VoIP communication in which audio data for a facsimile communication by way of a public telephone line is sent and received over an IP network is being carried out, so as to make a user aware that a non-VoIP communication in which a facsimile communication is carried out by way of the IP network without using audio data is being carried out. When the VoIP communication is being carried out, the tone output unit outputs a first tone for notifying the user of a communication status of the VoIP communication. When the non-VoIP communication is carried out, the tone output unit outputs a second tone so as to notify the user of a communication status of the non-VoIP communication.

Abstract: A communication apparatus has an off-hook detection function, and has a first electric power supply for supplying electric power to a telephone control unit for controlling a telephone apparatus, and a second electric power supply for supplying electric power to an off-hook detection unit for detecting an off-hook of the telephone apparatus. The apparatus causes the off-hook detection unit to detect an off-hook of the telephone apparatus when, from a first power mode, a second power mode, in which electric power consumption is less than in the first power mode, is transitioned into.

Abstract: This image communication apparatus receives a digital signal having a voice bandwidth from an external apparatus capable of communicating through a network, and processes the received digital signal by means of a signal processing unit. If it is determined that the digital signal includes a CNG signal, the image communication apparatus determines that the digital signal is a facsimile signal received as deemed voice, and executes facsimile reception according to the T.30 standard. If it is determined that the digital signal does not include a CNG signal, the image communication apparatus determines that the digital signal is a voice signal, and executes a voice call.

Abstract: There is provided with an image communication apparatus. A storage unit stores a reception mode set for each of a plurality of telephone numbers. A determination unit determines, in a case where there is an incoming call, which of the plurality of telephone numbers the incoming call is for. An operation unit operates in accordance with the reception mode stored in the storage unit that is set for the telephone number determined by the determination unit. A distinguishing unit distinguishes a type of the incoming call upon operation in accordance with the reception mode by the operation unit. A control unit controls so as to present to a user information of the incoming call that is distinguished by the distinguishing unit.

Abstract: An image communication apparatus capable of performing calls/facsimiles via an IP network, and equipped with at least two modems and an SLIC that connects a telephone, determines whether an establishment of a session is possible when an INVITE signal, for which a media type is audio, is received. The apparatus controls so that in an automatic reception mode, when it is determined that an establishment of a session is possible, a usable modem is selected from the modems, and treated as audio communication is performed using that selected modem, and also so that when it is determined that the establishment of a session is possible, it is determined whether the SLIC is in use, and when it is not in use, a call of the telephone is performed by the SLIC.
