Communication device implementing a retransmitting function, program and medium
First Claim
1. A communication device implementing a retransmitting function via a network, comprising:
- an operation unit detecting an input operation;
a communication module starting a transmission to a destination specified by the input operation using a first piece of destination specifying information to attempt to establish a communication;
a storage unit storing plural pieces of destination specifying information corresponding to every destination, said storage unit storing one or more telephone numbers or E-mail addresses as the destination specifying information on every destination;
a built-in self timer measuring a calling time after starting the transmission, without receiving time information from the network;
a searching module searching and retrieving one or more pieces of destination specifying information, other than the first piece of destination specifying information, stored corresponding to the destination in said storage unit if the calling time equals a predetermined time, while continuing the transmission to attempt to establish the communication based on the first destination specifying information after the calling time has equaled the predetermined time;
a display unit displaying a list of the retrieved one or more destination specifying information, said display unit displaying the searched telephone number or E-mail address;
a selection module for selecting a second piece of destination specifying information from the displayed list of the retrieved one or more destination specifying information, said selection module accepts a selection of the telephone number or E-mail address;
a retransmitting module interrupting the transmission based on the first destination and retransmitting based on the second destination specifying information; and
a screen control module making a screen, when the E-mail address is selected on said selection module, transit to an E-mail creating screen for creating an E-mail addressed to this selected E-mail address.
