Abstract
A facsimile apparatus receives identification data identifying a particular destination terminal, at the time of transmitting document data to the destination terminal via a telephone line. A memory unit stores, as a data pair, a facsimile number input by manual dialing, and the identification data returned from the destination terminal. A display unit displays the identification data. A selection unit selects one of the identification data displayed on the display means. A line connecting unit reads out a facsimile number stored in the memory means and corresponding to the selected identification data, and connects the facsimile apparatus to a telephone line corresponding to the readout facsimile number.
Claims6
A facsimile apparatus for receiving identification data, for identifying a particular destination terminal, at time of transmitting document data to the destination terminal via a telephone line, comprising:
- memory means for storing, as a data pair, a facsimile number input by manual dialing, and corresponding identification data returned from the destination terminal;
- control means for controlling said memory means to automatically store, as the data pair, the facsimile number input by manual dialing, and the corresponding identification data returned from the destination terminal in response to said manual dialing;
- display means for displaying the identification data stored in the memory means;
- selection means for selecting one of the identification data displayed on the display means;
- line connecting means for reading out a facsimile number stored in the memory means and corresponding to the selected identification data, and connecting the facsimile apparatus to a telephone line corresponding to the read-out facsimile number.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- memory means for storing a plurality of data pairs, each data pair comprising identification data and a telephone number corresponding to the identification data;
- rearrangement means for rearranging all the data pairs stored in said memory means in a predetermined manner based on the identification data;
- designation means for successively designating a plurality of identification data from among the data pairs rearranged by said rearrangement means, the designated data pairs being fewer in number than the rearranged data pairs;
- display means for displaying the plurality of identification data designated by said designation means;
- selection means for selecting one of the identification data displayed on the display means;
- and
- line connecting means for connecting the communication apparatus to a telephone line so as to reach a destination terminal having a telephone number corresponding to the identification data selected by said selection means;
- and
- wherein said memory means includes first memory area means for storing a number of times which each destination terminal is connected to the communication apparatus via a corresponding telephone line.
