Abstract: A communication apparatus for outputting e-mail to a network including a storing part configured to store e-mail addresses and related encryption information signifying whether e-mail directed to the addresses should be encrypted or in plain text; a displaying part configured to display the e-mail addresses stored in the storing unit as selectable destinations by a user; a receiving part configured to receive an instruction to encrypt e-mail or keep the e-mail in plain text for addresses selected as destinations via the displaying part; an e-mail control part configured to control creation of the e-mail based on the instruction received by the receiving part and the encryption information related to the selected e-mail addresses; and an output part configured to output the created e-mail through the e-mail control part to the network.

Abstract: A network communication control apparatus that converts data from a facsimile apparatus into e-mail to transmit to another communication apparatus, and converts e-mail from another communication apparatus into facsimile data to transmit to the facsimile apparatus, the network communication control apparatus further stores managing data that includes whether transmission to/from facsimile apparatus from/to another communication terminal is complete, determines whether the un-transmitted managing data is stored at a predetermined timing, and notifies the sender regarding the un-transmitted data, when the un-transmitted managing data is stored, according to the content of data. This is to allow the sender to be easily and automatically notified when the data transmission is incomplete, and to improve the reliability of the network communication control apparatus.

Abstract: An Internet communication control apparatus and its transmission control method is provided, to which communication terminals such as facsimile apparatuses and/or telephones are connected, that is connected to the Internet to perform transmission/reception with other communication terminals. When an off-hook state of a connected communication terminal is detected upon transmitting, a setting for dial tone signal reception is prepared, and the received signals are converted to a destination number. By checking the corresponding table, the destination number is converted into a destination address, and according to the content of the table, whether the communication is for facsimile transmission or telephone call is determined. According to the result of the determination, a facsimile process or telephone process is selectively performed so that the transmission operation does not seem abnormal and complicated.

Abstract: If any of the communication terminals has incoming calls, calling signals are repeatedly output to the communication terminal at predetermined intervals until the communication terminal answers. When one communication terminal is called before another communication terminal answers its preceding call, calling signals to each communication terminal are repeatedly output alternately. Thus, a simple structure that is capable of changing output destinations for very calling signal output is provided. Upon receiving multiple incoming calls at about the same time, the apparatus can repeatedly output calling signals to corresponding communication terminals, without having multiple calling signal output apparatuses.
