Abstract

A network transfer communication device (6A) or (6B) transfers electronic information from the communication terminal (3) to the communication terminal (5). A destination information abstracter 30 abstracts communication condition information from the transfer request information received from the communication terminal (5). A transfer controller (29) sets communication condition according to the information abstracted by the destination information abstracter (30). A mail server access unit (28) receives the electronic information from the communication terminal (3) according to the setting condition set in the destination information abstracter (30). A transfer controller (29) executes communication control for transferring the electronic information to the communication device (5) according to the condition.

Claims

1. A network transfer communication device which transfers electronic information from the first communication device to the second communication device, wherein comprising:

an information abstracting means to abstract communication condition information from the transfer request information received from said second communication device,

a communication condition setting means to set communication condition according to the information abstracted by said information abstracting means,

an electronic information receiving means to receive said electronic information from said first communication device according to the setting condition set in said communication condition setting means and a communication controlling means to execute communication control for transferring said electronic information to said second communication device according to the condition set in said communication condition setting means.

2. A network transfer communication device according to claim 1 wherein said electronic information receiving means periodically detects said electronic information, and said communication controlling means transfers said electronic information to said second communication device.

3. A network transfer communication device according to claim 1 wherein said communication controlling means has

a destination address memory to hold destination information as communication condition information registered in said information abstracting means and

a transfer propriety memory to hold information indicating transfer propriety of said electronic information.

4. A network transfer communication device according to claim 1 wherein said information abstracting means abstract at least information of the transfer request sender, electronic information transfer source, and electronic mail sender.

5. A network transfer communication device according to claim 1 wherein said electronic information is an electronic mail information, said communication condition information abstracted by said information abstracting means is an information of electronic mail transfer, and said communication control processed by said communication controlling means is a communication control by electronic mail transfer operation.

6. A network transfer communication device according to claim 1 wherein said electronic information is an electronic mail information, said communication condition information abstracted by said information abstracting means is an information of facsimile transmission, and said communication control processed by said communication controlling means is a communication control by facsimile transmission operation which transfers said electronic mail as facsimile data.

7. A network transfer communication system where electronic information is transferred from the first communication device to the second communication device, wherein comprising:

an information abstracting means to abstract communication condition information from the transfer request information received from said second communication device,

a communication condition setting means to set communication condition according to the information abstracted by said information abstracting means,

an electronic information receiving means to receive said electronic information from said first communication device according to the setting condition set in said communication condition setting means and a communication controlling means to execute communication control for transferring said electronic information to said second communication device according to the condition set in said communication condition setting means.

8. A network transfer communication system according to claim 7 wherein said electronic information receiving means periodically detects said electronic information, and said communication controlling means transfers said electronic information to said communication device.

9. A network transfer communication system according to claim 7 wherein said communication controlling means has

a destination address memory to hold destination information as communication condition information registered in said information abstracting means and

a transfer propriety memory to hold information indicating transfer propriety of said electronic information.

10. A network transfer communication system according to claim 7 wherein said information abstracting means abstract at least information of the transfer request sender, electronic information transfer source, and electronic mail sender.

11. A network transfer communication system according to claim 7 wherein said electronic information is an electronic mail information, said communication condition information abstracted by said information abstracting means is an information of electronic mail transfer, and said communication control processed by said communication controlling means is a communication control by electronic mail transfer operation.
