Abstract
An office communication system for transmitting data and/or video information through a communication network to a given device and at a given point in time. An automatic selection device is provided having a timer circuit with a calendar function which may be adjusted by the user along with control device. The automatic selecting device makes a connection through the communication network corresponding to the time desired by the user. A data transmission occurs through a communication interface means at a time which is cost favorable to the user.
Claims4
A system for the transmission of data through a communication network, comprising:
- mass memory means for storing the data;
- at least one communication interface means for remote data transfer in communication with said mass memory means;
- an automatic dialing device or an answering machine in communication with said communication interface means;
- time switching means coupled to said automatic dialing device or answering machine having an adjustable calendar function for generating a control signal at a predetermined time which results in said automatic dialing device or answering machine making a connection through the communication network via said communication interface means with an end user device;
- an input means for setting the time switching means;
- a control device coupled to said time switching means and said input means for transmission of data contained in said mass memory means;
- and
- a video recorder means communicating with said automatic dialing device or answering machine, said control device controlling said time switching means and storage of data in said mass memory means.
