Fax switching system and method

Abstract

Disclosed is a fax switching system comprising a fax switching device, a plurality of distributed electronic fax system coupled onto the fax switching device via the network and at least a document switching server directly coupled onto the fax switching device. The fax switching device includes a member information storage unit, a member access unit, an optimal route judging and selecting unit, a switch processing unit and a switch distribution unit. The fax switching system conveniently provides various routings of the faxes from enterprise and public institution, wherein, the enterprise can establish an access platform for the supplier and the purchasing agent thereof, the public institution can establish an access platform for the membership or the underling unit, thereby, fax cost ofthe enterprise and public institution can be greatly reduced, meanwhile, when the members of the enterprise and public institution reaches a certain number, a large operation net for switching fax will be generated, thus many faxes will be free.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a facsimile exchange system and method, specifically, to a facsimile exchange system and method for judging and selecting the best route for facsimiles. Background technique [0002] In the new situation, fast information transmission is an important means for people to grasp market opportunities. As a means of communication that can transmit images and text at the same time, fax has been widely used due to its outstanding advantages such as real-time transmission, simple equipment, convenient operation, safety and reliability, and legal effect, and thus has become more and more dependent on contemporary enterprises. communication tool. However, with the development of science and technology, information is frequently transmitted between enterprises and institutions, and two-way exchanges of various information are becoming more and more common. The use of conventional PSTN network fax methods also faces some problems: first, ...

Problems solved by technology

However, with the development of science and technology, information is frequently transmitted between enterprises and institutions, and two-way exchanges of various information are becoming more and more common. The use of conventional PSTN network fax methods also faces some problems: first, a large amount of communication costs; Restricted by the PSTN network, the fax speed is low, and the transmission quality and stability of different places are quite different.

Such a system can replace the traditional analog facsimile system, but there is still the above-mentioned problem of high communication costs
