Communication apparatus
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- storage means for storing an identification signal for identifying a predetermined originating communication apparatus that transmits image data to be transmitted/received, the originating communication apparatus initiating the communications and is permitted to communicate with the communication apparatus; and
determination means for determining whether or not the stored identification signal coincides with a received identification signal, wherein the stored and the received identification signals of the originating communication apparatus are international telephone numbers, wherein if the two identification signals coincide with each other, a first receiving operation related to receiving of the image data corresponding to the received identification signal is performed, and if the two identification signals do not coincide with each other, a second receiving operation related to receiving of the image data corresponding to the received identification signal is performed, but different from the first receiving operation is performed.

Abstract
A communication apparatus where transmission waiting time for an originating facsimile machine is shortened. A transmitter/receiver section of one of two communication control sections receives a transmission subscriber identification (TSI) signal from the originating facsimile machine. A determination new section extracts an international telephone number from the TSI signal and determines whether or not it coincides with a pre-stored international telephone number. If they coincide, the transmitter/receiver section receives an object signal in succession, otherwise the transmitter/receiver section ends the receiving operation without receiving the object signal. Further, when both communication control sections receive object signals at the same time, a line selecting section supplies the object signal received by the communication control section that has received an international telephone number that coincides with the pre-stored international telephone number to an image output section, prior to the object signal received by the other communication control section for printing a recording sheet.

11. A facsimile machine, comprising:
-
a transceiver section for receiving an identification signal of an originating facsimile machine having image data that is to be transmitted or received, the originating facsimile machine initiating the communications;
a storage section for pre-storing a plurality of telephone numbers of a plurality of originating facsimile machines able to communicate with the facsimile machine; and
a determination section which extracts a telephone number from the received identification signal of the originating facsimile machine to determine if it matches one of the stored plurality of telephone numbers, wherein if the extracted telephone number is found to match a stored telephone number, the transceiver continuously communicates with the originating facsimile machine so as to receive the image data, subject it to processing and then output the processed image data, otherwise the transceiver immediately terminates communication with the originating facsimile machine. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A method of facsimile communication in a facsimile machine, comprising:
-
receiving an identification signal for identifying an initiating facsimile machine that transmits image data which is to be transmitted or received;
pre-storing a plurality of telephone numbers for a plurality of predetermined initiating facsimile machines;
extracting a telephone number from the received identification signal, and determining whether the extracted telephone number coincides with one of the plurality of pre-stored telephone numbers, wherein if the extracted telephone number coincides with a stored telephone number, continuous communication is initiated with the initiating facsimile machine so as to receive the image data, otherwise communication with the initiating facsimile machine is immediately terminated.
