Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
In a composite facsimile apparatus connected to a data terminal unit processing so as to transmit and receive either one of a character code and a picture signal through a transmission line, the improvement comprising: means for detecting from a plurality of character codes representing a message sent from said data terminal unit, a predetermined designation character code that designates a dial information character code representing dial information; dial information output means, responding to said detecting means, for forming said dial information character code from said predetermined designation character code and for forming and outputting corresponding dial information based on said dial information character code; dial signal output means for outputting a dial signal in response to said dial information; and transmission control means for transmitting either one of the character code and picture code from said data terminal unit to a remote facsimile apparatus corresponding to said dial signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
In a composite facsimile apparatus connected to a data terminal unit processing so as to transmit and receive either one of a character code and a picture signal through a transmission line, the improvement comprising: means for detecting from a plurality of character codes representing a message sent from said data terminal unit, a predetermined designation character code that designates a dial information character code representing dial information; dial information output means, responding to said detecting means, for forming said dial information character code from said predetermined designation character code and for forming and outputting corresponding dial information based on said dial information character code; dial signal output means for outputting a dial signal in response to said dial information; and transmission control means for transmitting either one of the character code and picture code from said data terminal unit to a remote facsimile apparatus corresponding to said dial signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
The composite facsimile apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said dial information output means comprises means for judging whether said dial information character code corresponds to one of a plurality of stored abbreviated type dial numbers or to a direct type dial number, memory means, for storing said plurality of abbreviated type dial numbers and corresponding direct type dial numbers, and control means for forming, from said memory table, said dial information to be outputted corresponding to one of said direct type dial number in turn corresponding to said dial information character code.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
The composite facsimile apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said control means comprises means for judging whether said outputted dial information corresponds to the same remote facsimile apparatus to which a telegram was most recently transmitted, and means for preventing the output of said dial information when said dial information is for said same remote facsimile apparatus and for permitting the output of said dial information when said dial information is not for said same remote apparatus.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The composite type facsimile apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said control means includes means for sequentially outputting dial information for each said direct type dial number corresponding to said dial information character codes in said telegram.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
The composite facsimile apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said dial information output means comprises means for outputting only said dial information for said remote facsimile apparatus corresponding to said dial signal, and wherein said transmission control means includes means for transmitting a character code exclusive of dial information character code corresponding to dial information outputted from said dial information outputting means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
78 words
The composite facsimile apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said dial information output means comprises means for removing from a character code all dial information character codes other than said dial information code corresponding to said remote facsimile apparatus, and wherein said transmission control means comprises means for transmitting a character code exclusive of dial information character codes other than said dial information character code corresponding to said remote facsimile apparatus corresponding in turn to said data signal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
The composite facsimile apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said tranmission control means comprises means for transmitting to said remote facsimile apparatus corresponding to said data signal a character code accompanied by a predetermined mark.
