Claim 6
Dependent Claim
105 words
A communication apparatus for performing a communication in accordance with a predetermined communication procedure, comprising: storage means for storing in advance data indicating a name of a distant station to communicate with; control means for comparing data indicating a name of a distant station included in a received predetermined communication procedure signal with the data stored in said storage means, and changing a communication procedure according to the comparison result; and means for designating arbitrary character data in said storage means, wherein said control means compares the stored data excluding the designated character data with the received data indicating the name of the distant station.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
104 words
A communication apparatus for performing a communication through a digital communication line in accordance with a communication procedure specified in a CCITT recommendation, comprising: storage means for storing in advance collation data to be compared with a terminal identifier included in a procedure signal in the communication procedure; control means for comparing the received terminal identifier with the collation data stored in said storage means, and changing the communication procedure according to the comparison result; and means for setting a comparison range of the collation data, wherein said control means performs comparison processing using data in the set comparison range of the collation data.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
104 words
A communication apparatus for performing a communication through a digital communication line in accordance with a communication procedure specified in a CCITT recommendation, comprising: storage means for storing in advance collation data to be compared with a terminal identifier included in a procedure signal in the communication procedure; control means for comparing the received terminal identifier with the collation data stored in said storage means, and changing the communication procedure according to the comparison result; and means for setting a comparison range of the collation data, wherein said control means performs comparison processing using data in the set comparison range of the collation data.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said control means compares the terminal identifier with the data stored in said storage means in a calling state.
