Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A data communication apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving data; memory means for storing received data; informing means for, after memory reception is performed by said memory means, automatically calling a predetermined destination and informing that memory reception is performed; and transmitting means for transmitting data of said memory means in accordance with reception of a control signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
A data communication apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving data; memory means for storing received data; informing means for, after memory reception is performed by said memory means, automatically calling a predetermined destination and informing that memory reception is performed; and transmitting means for transmitting data of said memory means in accordance with reception of a control signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising means for receiving and recording a voice message, wherein said informing means automatically calls a predetermined destination and informs that a voice message is recorded.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said informing means distinguishes and informs memory reception and voice message recording.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said informing means repeatedly executes an informing operation until memory-received data is transmitted.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the data is image data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
A data communication apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving data; memory means for storing received data; and informing means for, after memory reception is performed by said memory means, automatically calling a predetermined destination and informing that memory reception is performed, wherein said informing means transmits information indicating that memory reception is performed and identification information for identifying memory-received data.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
60 words
A data communication apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving data; memory means for storing received data; and informing means for, after memory reception is performed by said memory means, automatically calling a predetermined destination and informing that memory reception is performed, wherein said informing means transmits information indicating that memory reception is performed and identification information for identifying memory-received data.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising transmitting means for transmitting data of said memory means in accordance with reception of a control signal.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
An apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising means for receiving and recording a voice message, wherein said informing means automatically calls a predetermined destination and informs that a voice message is recorded.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
19 words
An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said informing means distinguishes and informs memory reception and voice message recording.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
139 words
A data communication apparatus comprising: memory-receiving means for temporarily storing received data; informing means for, after reception is finished, calling a telephone number registered beforehand and informing a user of reception; transmission control means for transmitting the received data stored in said memory to a predetermined data communication apparatus when a user responds on the basis of the information from said informing means; informing operation control means for activating and causing said informing means to perform an informing operation every predetermined time when the user does not respond; recording means for recording the received data on recording paper when the user does not respond although said informing operation control means repeats the informing operation a predetermined number of times; and erasing means for erasing the received data output by said recording means from said memory at a predetermined timing.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
139 words
A data communication apparatus comprising: memory-receiving means for temporarily storing received data; informing means for, after reception is finished, calling a telephone number registered beforehand and informing a user of reception; transmission control means for transmitting the received data stored in said memory to a predetermined data communication apparatus when a user responds on the basis of the information from said informing means; informing operation control means for activating and causing said informing means to perform an informing operation every predetermined time when the user does not respond; recording means for recording the received data on recording paper when the user does not respond although said informing operation control means repeats the informing operation a predetermined number of times; and erasing means for erasing the received data output by said recording means from said memory at a predetermined timing.
Claim 14
Independent Claim
71 words
An apparatus according to any one of claims 1, 6, and 10, further comprising: detecting means for detecting a voice energy on a telephone line; and another detecting means for detecting that the voice energy on said telephone line is in a no-sound state below a predetermined level by using said detecting means, wherein when said another detecting means detects the no-sound state, said informing means outputs a predetermined message signal.
