If the IC card has only the telephone number as the destination communication information, the ST1 is used after ST4. The user enters the IP address. If the IC card does not have a telephone number and an IP address as destination communication information, a procedure similar to the procedure described below for a prepaid card or a coin is used.

Next, a case where no IC card is detected in ST2 will be described. This case corresponds to a case where the use of a prepaid card or a coin is selected before the store process.

First, in order to detect the securing of the communication fee, the data storage / transmission telephone 2 detects a prepaid card and a coin (ST15). If a prepaid card or a coin is detected, the user is prompted to input a telephone number and an IP address, which are destination communication information, in the same manner as in ST11 (ST16), and that fact is displayed. FIG. 8 (c)
As shown in FIG. 7, the screen display unit 4 displays "Please enter dial / IP address". ST
12, the file name and the storage status of the stored data stored in the temporary memory unit 13b of the data storing and transmitting telephone 2 are displayed on the screen display unit 4 (ST17).

The user enters a telephone number and an IP address (ST18). Since the IP address may be entered using only numerals, the dial section 10 of the data storage and transmission telephone 2 is used.

The process proceeds to ST10.

If no prepaid card or coin is detected in ST15, the communication fee is not secured and the process ends (ST20).

In ST14 and ST19, the information on the pressing of the start button 9 is transmitted to the telephone control unit 1 via the key operation unit 18.
5 and proceeds to ST4 via ST3.

[0120] Therefore, as the destination communication information, in addition to the telephone number, an IP address in which only numbers can be input is adopted and the FT is used.
Since communication is performed by P, the user need only perform simple input of only numbers from the dial unit 10.

Further, since the store-and-forward communication is performed, even if a communication error occurs during the store processing or the forward processing, it is possible to retry while checking each processing, thereby improving communication efficiency.

Further, the user operates the data storage / transmission telephone 2
It is possible to perform the communication work with peace of mind because it is possible to sequentially confirm the data accumulation status to the communication terminal and the data transfer status to the destination communication terminal via the communication line β on the screen display unit 4.

In the forward processing, the present invention is applicable to various uses of any of an IC card, a prepaid card, and a coin. In particular, a telephone number and an IP address, which are communication destination information, are stored on the IC card. In this case, user input can be omitted, and data transfer can be performed more easily.

In the method example, the infrared communication terminal 1,
Although the procedure for transmitting data in the order of the data storage and transmission telephone 2, the communication line β, and the server γ which is the communication terminal of the other party has been described above, the data storage and transmission telephone 2 receives data from the other party. Needless to say, the communication status may be displayed on the screen display unit 4 so that the user can receive the data while checking.
