Abstract
A communication terminal device has a memory for storing data to be transmitted, means for sending out the data stored in the memory to a line for transmission to a receiving station, and a control for converting a portion of the data from the memory so that the converted data are compatible with the type of the receiving terminal.
Claims17
A communication terminal device comprising:
- memory means for storing mixed data including image data and character code data in a page;
- sending means for sending data to be transmitted, said sending means being capable of sending, as block data, data divided into blocks in accordance with a type of data;
- and
- control means for discriminating terminal characteristics of a called station and converting the data stored in said memory means on the basis of the discrimination result,
- wherein said control means discriminates pixel density of image data receivable at the called station and converts the mixed data into image data having pixel density receivable at the called station, and said sending means sends the converted data.

A communication terminal device comprising:
- memory means for storing mixed data including image data and character code data in a page;
- sending means for sending data to be transmitted, said sending means being capable of sending, as block data, data divided into blocks in accordance with type of data;
- and
- control means for discriminating terminal characteristics of a called station and converting the data stored in said memory means on the basis of a result of discrimination performed by said control means,
- wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive mixed data, said control means converts the data into data receivable by the called station and said sending means sends the converted data, and
- wherein, when said sending means sends, as block data, the data divided into blocks, said sending means sends the block data together with data employed to reproduce the block data.

A communication terminal device comprising:
- memory means for storing mixed data including image data and character code data in a page;
- sending means for sending data to be transmitted, said sending means being capable of sending, as block data, data divided into blocks in accordance with type of data;
- control means for discriminating terminal characteristics of a called station and converting the data stored in said memory means on the basis of a result of discrimination performed by said control means, wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive mixed data, said control means converts the data into data receivable by the called station and said sending means sends the converted data;
- and
- display means for displaying data stored in said memory means and receive means for receiving a calling signal from a calling station, wherein said display means displays information indicating reception of the calling signal during display of the data stored in said memory means.

A communication terminal device comprising:
- memory means for storing mixed data including image data and character code data in a page;
- sending means for sending data to be transmitted, said sending means being capable of sending, as block data, data divided into blocks in accordance with type of data;
- and
- control means for discriminating terminal characteristics of a called station and converting the data stored in said memory means on the basis of a result of discrimination performed by said control means,
- wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive mixed data, said control means converts the data into data receivable by the called station and said sending means sends the converted data;
- wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive image data, said control means selects only character code data from the data to be transmitted and causes said sending means to send the data to be transmitted as one type of data without dividing the data into blocks;
- and
- wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive image data, said control means is adapted to issue a message indicating that image data cannot be sent.

A communication terminal device comprising:
- memory means for storing mixed data including image data and character code data in a page;
- sending means for sending data to be transmitted, said sending means being capable of sending, as block data, data divided into blocks in accordance with type of data;
- and
- control means for discriminating terminal characteristics of a called station and converting the data stored in said memory means on the basis of a result of discrimination performed by said control means,
- wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive mixed data, said control means converts the data into data receivable at the called station, and wherein after all the data to be transmitted is converted, said sending means sends the data.
2 more elements
A data communication apparatus comprising:
- memory means for storing mixed data including image data and character code data in a page;
- sending means for sending data to be transmitted, said sending means being capable of sending, as block data, data divided into blocks in accordance with type of data;
- and
- control means for discriminating terminal characteristics of a called station and converting the data stored in said memory means on the basis of a result of discrimination performed by said control means,
- wherein said sending means sends the data adding separation data to each block;
- and wherein, when said control means discriminates that the called station cannot receive mixed data, said control means converts the data into data receivable at the called station and said sending means sends the data removing the separation data in dependence upon the converted data.
