Abstract
Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.
Claims21
A system, comprising:
- a data store storing one or more entries, each entry associated with a destination for a fax and one or more communication parameters, each communication parameter having an associated value;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for:
- receiving a first fax;
- determining values for the one or more communication parameters for the first fax based on the entries in the data store;
- facilitating the transmission of the first fax using the associated values as transmission values of the one or more communication parameters;
- determining a failure associated with the transmission of the first fax according to the transmission values of the one or more communication parameters;
- in response to determining the failure associated with the transmission of the first fax, determining an updated value for the one or more communication parameters to use for facilitating the transmission of the first fax by replacing the transmission value of the one or more communication parameters with the updated value for the one or more communication parameters according to one or more parameter selection rules associated with the communication parameter;
- and
- continuing to facilitate the transmission of the first fax according to the updated value of the one or more communication parameters.

A method, comprising:
- maintaining a data store storing one or more entries, each entry associated with a destination for a fax and one or more communication parameters, each communication parameter having an associated value;
- receiving a first fax;
- determining values for the one or more communication parameters for the first fax based on the entries in the data store;
- facilitating the transmission of the first fax using the associated values as transmission values of the one or more communication parameters;
- determining a failure associated with the transmission of the first fax according to the transmission values of the one or more communication parameters;
- in response to determining the failure associated with the transmission of the first fax, determining an updated value for the one or more communication parameters to use for facilitating the transmission of the first fax by replacing the transmission value of the one or more communication parameters with the updated value for the one or more communication parameters accordng to one or more parameter selection rules associated with the communication parameter;
- and
- continuing to facilitate the transmission of the first fax according to the updated value of the one or more communication parameters.
