AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables cost-effective, efficient long-distance fax transmission without relying on long-distance or international telephone carriers, enhancing versatility by converting documents between formats and allowing a common fax machine to function as a scanner and printer, with the ability to communicate via distributive networks.

Problems solved by technology

Since transmission is almost always via public telephone lines, both congestion and expense are issues.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]As shown in FIG. 1, the subject invention is utilized in combination with a standard computer based system such as, by way of example, the personal computer 10. As is typical, the computer 10 is connected to a modem 12, which may be either internal or external as shown. In a typical application, the modem may be used to connect the computer system to a distributive network such as the Internet, as indicated at 14. The network may also be wired directly into the computer, as is the case with LAN based systems and the like. The significant point is that the computer is adapted for communicating data over a distributive network system. Also as is typical, the computer system may include any of a plurality of options, desired peripheral hardware components such as, by way of example, the laser printer 16.

[0025]In the preferred embodiment, one of the serial / parallel ports of the computer is connected to the facsimile communication interface 18 of the subject invention via a dedicat...

Abstract

An interface is provided for connecting a standard telephone line and / or a standard facsimile machine with a distributive communication network interface such as a personal computer, whereby facsimile signal present on the telephone line or at the facsimile machine may be transmitted via the Internet to a remote station without the use of long distance or international telephone signal carriers. The facsimile signal may be sent or received via the network using the network, without interfering with the capability to receive and send facsimile signals in the normal manner via a standard telephone line.

Description

[0001]This application is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 09 / 374,136, filed on Mar. 14, 1997, titled “Method and Apparatus for Sending and Receiving Facsimile Transmission Over a Non-Telephonic Transmission System,” the complete contents of same hereby being incorporated by reference in this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The subject invention is generally related to facsimile transmission of documents, commonly known as fax systems, and is specifically directed to a fax system for sending documents and printed materials via distributive communication networks such as, by way of example, the Internet.[0004]2. Discussion of the Prior Art[0005]Facsimile transmission of documents and printed matter is well known. In a typical application, the document is fed through a transmission machine, where the printed or graphic material on the hard document is fed through a transmission machine, where the printed or graphic material on the hard...
