Abstract
A relay broadcast instructing station transmits to a relay broadcast distributing station final distribution recipient's SID, SUB, TSI, and DCS information as well as facsimile data. The relay station then transmits the facsimile data to the recipients. The relay station also sends back to the instructing station a report indicating the delivery status of the facsimile data. The facsimile numbers of the recipients and the facsimile number of the instructing station are pre-stored in a memory of the relay station, and used for the distribution of the facsimile data to the recipients and for the transmission of the distribution report back to the instructing station.
Claims38
A communication terminal device used as a relay broadcast distributing station to relay image data received from a relay broadcast instructing station to final distribution recipient machines, comprising:
- storage means for storing a transmitter identification received from the relay broadcast instructing station, and a dialing number corresponding to the transmitter identification received from the relay broadcast instructing station, wherein the transmitter identification is different than the dialing number;
- determining means for determining, based on the transmitter identification stored in the storage means, the dialing number of the relay broadcast instructing station;
- and
- transmission means for calling the dialing number and transmitting, to the relay broadcast instructing station, an image data distribution result report for the image data relayed from the relay broadcast distributing station to the final distribution recipient machines.
A facsimile apparatus used as a relay broadcast distributing station to relay facsimile data received from a relay broadcast instructing station to final distribution recipient machines, comprising:
- storage means for storing a transmitter identification received from the relay broadcast instructing station, and a facsimile number corresponding to the transmitter identification received from the relay broadcast instructing station, wherein the transmitter identification is different than the facsimile number;
- determining means for determining, based on the transmitter identification stored in the storage means, the facsimile number of the relay broadcast instructing station;
- and
- transmission means for transmitting to the facsimile number the broadcast distribution result report for the facsimile data distributed from the relay broadcast distributing station to the final distribution recipient machines.
A communication terminal device used as a delay broadcast distributing station to relay image data received from a relay broadcast instructing station to final distribution recipient machines, comprising:
- storage means for storing a transmitter identification received from the relay broadcast instructing station, and a dialing number associated with the transmitter identification, wherein the transmitter identification is different than the dialing number;
- and
- determination means for determining whether there is the dialing number in the storage means which matches at least one of a password and a sub address of the relay broadcast instructing station;
- transmission means for making a call using the dialing number and transmitting to the relay broadcast instructing station image data distribution results from the relay broadcast distributing station to the final distribution recipient machines.
A facsimile apparatus used as a relay broadcast distributing station to relay facsimile data received from a relay broadcast instructing station to final distribution recipient machines, comprising:
- storage means for storing a transmitter identification received from the relay broadcast instructing station, and a facsimile number associated with the transmitter identification, wherein the transmitter identification is different than the facsimile number;
- determination means for determining whether final distribution recipient facsimile numbers associated with a password and a sub-address sent by the relay broadcast instructing station are stored in the storage means of the relay broadcast distributing station;
- and
- transmission means for transmitting to the facsimile number a broadcast distribution results report or the facsimile data distributed from the relay broadcast distributing station to the final distribution recipient machines.
