As shown in Figure 2, the error correction necessity determines the configuration information of correction process is carried out in table 4a storage about whether to every type of data that send and receive in media session, in other words, storage about whether to carry out the configuration information of correction process such as the flesh and blood of every type of data of voice, moving image, (communication equipment) device data and image (rest image).That is, determine every type of data that send and receive to be provided with the validity or the ineffectivity of error correction among the table 4a in media session in the error correction necessity.
Video memory 5 storages are by codec 8 compressions and image encoded data etc.Modulator-demodulator 6 is advised standard V.34 according to for example ITU-T or is similar to this any standard, carries out modulation and demodulation to sending data and receiving data.NCU 7 is executable operations to close and the communication network control appliance of the order wire of release and public switched telephone network (PSTN) 15.According to necessity, NCU 7 is connected modulator-demodulator 6 with PSTN 15.Codec 8 is according to JPEG (joint photographic experts group) (JPEG) method or improved Huffman (MH), improved reading (MR) or improved MR (MMR) method etc., and the view data that is used for facsimile transmission etc. is compressed and encoded.Codec 8 is also decoded to the view data that receives etc.
The view data of 9 pairs of original documents of scanner unit scans.For example, scanner unit 9 comprises charge-coupled device (CCD) color line sensor, mould/number (A/D) transducer and image processing circuit etc.Printer unit 10 takes out printing paper from input tray, and the view data that receives, the view data of scanning etc. are printed on the printing paper.Display unit 11 is right after operating unit 12 LCD (LCD) formation afterwards by for example being provided at, and shows various screen messages.Operating unit 12 comprises various operation keyss etc.The user carries out various operations from operating unit 12.
LAN interface 13 is to be used for the interface that connects between fax MFP 1 and LAN 16.Fax MFP 1 carries out by LAN interface 13 and also is connected to client's personal computer (PC) (not shown) of LAN 16 and communicating by letter of router one 9.Fax MFP 1 also passes through the various data communication of the communication equipment 18 of another the compatible SIP (session initiation protocol) on router one 9 execution and IP (Internet protocol) network 17.
Above-mentioned fax MFP 1 is embedded with UDP/IP (User Datagram Protoco (UDP)/Internet protocol), TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol), SIP, RTP (RTP), RTSP (real-time streaming protocol), SDP (Session Description Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer protocol), HTTP (HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)) etc.Therefore, the various data that send in the media session of setting up and receive such as speech data, motion image data, view data (Still image data) and text data can controlled by the calling of SIP.
In addition, fax MFP 1 is embedded with unique error-correction protocol, and this error-correction protocol is more contour than SIP, RTP, and than operating in the low protocol layer of the communication protocol of view data that sends and receive or text data.Therefore, in communication protocol that is used for media session and data content, do not relate to the correction process of carrying out by this uniqueness error-correction protocol by the communication protocol exchange.Therefore, the advantage of correction process is: the communication protocol of using in the media session is not limited to specific protocol.
Unique error-correction protocol forms for example following agreement between the transmitter and receiver.That is, send under the data conditions to receiver in the media session of setting up by SIP at transmitter, transmitter is divided into some unit with data, and serial number is added on the piece of division.Transmitter adds the assigned position in the piece to, as the end of piece all data being added together total value in the piece (verification and).Receiver is divided the data of reception in the same manner as described above.Receiver calculates all data is added total value in the piece together, and with this total value with add that the value of assigned position compares in the piece to.Be worth under the situation consistent with each other at these two, receiver determines that the data in the piece do not have defective.Under these two the mutual inconsistent situations of value, receiver is determined the data defectiveness in the piece, and to the data retransmission requests of transmitter execution to this piece.Then, receiver is number paid-in data without any defective of reorganization in order, and transmitter is according to the data of re-send request may repeating transmission.Can use hash (hush) value replace verification and.
Next, to describe with reference to the precedence diagram of figure 3 and the flow chart of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, when the fax MFP 1 with above-mentioned configuration and function sets up media session with another fax MFP 1 with the configuration identical with this fax MFP 1 and function by SIP (call control protocol), and when carrying out data communication, performed processing operation.Further, according to by as the CPU 2 of control unit according to the order that the control program of storage among the ROM 3 produces, carry out the processing operation that will describe with reference to figure 3 to Fig. 5.For convenience of description, the fax MFP 1 that become transmitter will be called as transmitter 1A, and the fax MFP 1 that will become receiver will be called as receiver 1B.
Shown in the precedence diagram of Fig. 3, at first form to call out control session (below, this callings control session will be called as " start to call out and control session ") between transmitter 1A and the receiver 1B by SIP.That is, the session of the IP phone number of transmitter 1A by having specified receiver 1B participates in request " invitations ", the calling of asking receiver 1B to sip server 20.In addition, IP address and the information such as port numbers that will use are sent to receiver 1B (T1) as the various information of transmitter in media session.
Sip server 20 is after the information of receiving such as " invitation ", to location server (not shown) inquiry with information that IP phone number and IP address are connected and IP address that the specified IP phone number of transmitter 1A interrelates.Sip server 20 is carried out calling by sending to the IP address of the receiver 1B that is obtained such as the information of " invitation " of receiving from transmitter 1A.
When receiver 1B response during from the calling of sip server 20, receiver 1B receives " invitation " and such as the various information of the positional information of transmitter 1A.Then, receiver 1B sends to sip server 20 with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK ".Together with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK ", for example receiver 1B sends whether the type information of the communication data that IP address, the port numbers that will use, receiver 1B as the positional information of receiver 1B can use or communication protocol and indication receiver 1B support error correction by unique agreement information in media session, as the various information (R1) relevant with receiver 1B.
Transmitter 1A sends the information " ACK (replying) " that success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " received in indication after the various information of receiving success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " and receiver 1B.In addition, transmitter 1A will send to receiver 1B such as the information of communication data type, communication protocol and the port numbers that will use by sip server 20 in media session, be used for the information (T2) of the media session that will set up as decision.Then, between transmitter 1A and receiver 1B, set up media session, and, carry out various data communication according to the communication data type by calling out the consult to decide of carrying out in the control session in above-mentioned startup, communication protocol, communication port etc.
After data communication in media session finished, " goodbye " that transmitter 1A will ask to disconnect the SIP connection sent to sip server 20.Sip server 20 sends to receiver 1B (T3) with " goodbye " after receiving " goodbye ".Then, when receiver 1B sends to sip server 20 (R2) with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK ", and sip server 20 is also with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " when sending to transmitter 1A, a series of conversation end, and communication is disconnected.Further, after media session finishes, the calling control session that forms till communication is disconnected will be called as " end call control session ".
Next, will the processing operation etc. that be determined whether the data communication of carrying out at the media session of setting up is carried out correction process by transmitter 1A being used for of carrying out be described with reference to the flow chart of figure 4.
Transmitter 1A passes through SIP call receiver 1B (S1) at T1.Under the situation of the response that has R1 (S2: be), transmitter 1A exchanges various information when the control session is called out in formation and the startup of receiver 1B, and in other words, execution is used to set up the required negotiation of media session (S3).Transmitter 1A decision relevant with media session, such as the information (S4) of the type of data communication that will in media session, use, communication protocol and communication port.Then, transmitter 1A determines whether to carry out the correction process (S5) of the data communication that sends and receive according to the type information of the data communication in the middle of the information relevant with media session that is determined in media session.
That is, the error correction necessity that transmitter 1A interrelates according to the type with the data communication that will carry out in media session is determined the setting of table 4a, determines whether to carry out correction process.Be specially, as shown in Figure 2, if be voice or moving image in the type of data communication of S4 decision, then because error correction is set to invalidly, so transmitter 1A determines not carry out correction process.If the type of data communication in the S4 decision is device data or image, then be set to effectively, so transmitter 1A determines to carry out correction process (S5) owing to error correction.
Under the situation of the definite execution of transmitter 1A correction process (S5: be), if transmitter 1A is according to starting the various information of calling out the receiver 1B that obtains in the control session, determine that receiver 1B can utilize TCP to carry out correction process (S6: be), then transmitter 1A will " reply (ACK) " etc. and send to receiver 1B (S7).Transmitter 1A carries out receiver 1B in the media session of being set up data send, and carry out correction process (S8) by TCP simultaneously.
Determine that at S6 receiver 1B can not utilize TCP to carry out (S6: not) under the situation of correction process at transmitter 1A, transmitter 1A determines according to starting the various information of calling out the receiver 1B that obtains in the control session whether receiver 1B supports correction process (S9) by unique agreement.Support by unique agreement that at receiver 1B transmitter 1A sends to receiver 1B (S10) with " ACK " etc. under the situation of correction process (S9: be).Transmitter 1A carries out receiver 1B in the media session of being set up data send, and carry out correction process (S11) by unique agreement simultaneously.
Simultaneously, determine not carry out (S5: not) under the situation of correction process at S5 at transmitter 1A, and determine that at S9 receiver 1B does not support by unique agreement under the situation of correction process that (S9: not), transmitter 1A sends to receiver 1B (S12) with " ACK " etc. at transmitter 1A.Then, the data that transmitter 1A carries out receiver 1B send, and do not carry out correction process (S13).Further, at S12, transmitter 1A can send indication will not carry out the information of correction process.
At last, between transmitter 1A and receiver 1B, form end call control session, and carry out the disconnection process (S14) that SIP connects.Further, if at S2 not from the response of receiver 1B, in other words, if transmitter 1A receives the answer code of misdirection content, and do not receive the success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " of R2, then transmitter 1A executive communication fault processing (S15).For example, handle, the message of indication garble reason, error code etc. are presented on the display unit 11, perhaps print from printer unit 10 as garble.
Next, will processing operation as the opposing party's of the communication of transmitter 1A receiver 1B be described with reference to the flow chart of figure 5.
When receiver 1B at T1 by sip response during from the calling of transmitter 1A (S51), receiver 1B is when the control session is called out in formation and the startup of transmitter 1A, exchange various information, in other words, execution is used to set up the required negotiation of media session (S52).Receiver 1B from transmitter 1A receive and " ACK " together, about the decision information (S53) of the media session that will set up.
Under the situation that TCP is used as the transport layer in the media session (S54: be), receiver 1B carries out Data Receiving in the media session of being set up, and carries out correction process (S55) by TCP simultaneously.
Under the situation of carrying out correction process by unique agreement (S54: not, S56: be), receiver 1B carries out Data Receiving, carries out correction process (S57) by unique agreement simultaneously.Further, in this case, UDP is used as transport layer.
(S54: not, S56: not), receiver 1B carries out Data Receiving and does not carry out correction process (S58) under the situation of not carrying out correction process.Further, in this case, UDP is used as transport layer.
When the Data Receiving of step S55, S57 or S58 has been finished dealing with, and receiver 1B by sip server 20 when transmitter 1A receives " goodbye ", receiver 1B sets up the end call control session with transmitter 1A, and carries out the disconnection process (S59) that SIP connects.
As mentioned above, according to the communication equipment of first embodiment of the invention, be real-time speech data etc. if the type of the communication data that sends in media session and receive is requirement, then send and receive speech data etc. and do not carry out error correction.Intactly reappear under the situation of communication data (such as text data and view data) of initial data at receiver requiring, send and receive view data etc., carry out error correction simultaneously.Therefore, can wait according to characteristic, the target of the communication data that utilizes SIP to send and receive and carry out multimedia communication.
Next, will another example of first embodiment be described.The fax MFP 1 of another example of first embodiment comprises the definite table of the error correction necessity shown in Fig. 6 or Fig. 7, rather than the definite table of error correction necessity 4a, and determines to show to carry out definite processing of S6 according to this error correction necessity.
Error correction necessity shown in Fig. 6 determines that table 4b is provided with the validity and the ineffectivity of error correction to each destination port numbers.In definite processing of S5, the error correction necessity that transmitter 1A basis and the destination port numbers about in the middle of the information of media session that determines at S4 interrelate is determined the setting of table 4b, determines whether to carry out correction process.Be specially, as shown in Figure 6, if be " 4006 " in the destination port numbers of S4 decision, then because error correction is set to invalidly, so transmitter 1A determines not carry out correction process.If the destination port numbers in the S4 decision is " 4004 ", then because error correction is set to effectively, so transmitter 1A determines to carry out correction process.
Error correction necessity shown in Fig. 7 is determined validity and the ineffectivity of table 4c to each destination IP address setting error correction.In definite processing of S5, transmitter 1A basis and the error correction necessity that interrelates in the IP address, destination about in the middle of the information of media session of S4 decision are determined the setting of table 4c, determine whether to carry out correction process.Be specially, as shown in Figure 7, if be " 128.2.3.1 " in the IP address, destination of S4 decision, then because error correction is set to invalidly, so transmitter 1A determines not carry out correction process.If the IP address, destination in the S4 decision is " 128.2.3.2 ", then be set to effectively, so transmitter 1A determines to carry out correction process owing to error correction.
For determining whether to carry out correction process, can carry out definite processing of above-mentioned S5 according to the information except that above-mentioned communication data type, IP address, destination and destination port numbers about media session.
In the above description, fax MFP 1 sets up the single medium session.Yet, setting up a plurality of media sessions at the same time and also exchange simultaneously under the situation of polytype communication data, transmitter 1A and receiver 1B carry out the processing operation of S5 to S13 and S54 to S58 to each media session.Therefore,, also can be only the communication data of the type that needs correction process be carried out correction process, and the communication data of the type that do not need correction process is not carried out correction process even setting up under the situation of a plurality of media sessions.Further, have at receiver 1B under the situation of an IP address, transmitter 1A preferably determines the error correction necessity table 4a or 4b rather than the definite table of error correction necessity 4c, is used for definite processing of S5.

Unique error-correction protocol forms for example following agreement between the transmitter and receiver.That is, send under the data conditions to receiver in the media session of setting up by SIP at transmitter, transmitter is divided into some unit with data, and serial number is added on the piece of division.Transmitter adds the assigned position in the piece to, as the end of piece all data being added together total value in the piece (verification and).Receiver is divided the data of reception in the same manner as described above.Receiver calculates all data is added total value in the piece together, and with this total value with add that the value of assigned position compares in the piece to.Be worth under the situation consistent with each other at these two, receiver determines that the data in the piece do not have defective.Under these two the mutual inconsistent situations of value, receiver is determined the data defectiveness in the piece, and to the re-send request may of transmitter execution to the data of this piece.Then, receiver reorganizes in order number paid-in data without any defective, and the data retransmitted according to re-send request may of transmitter.Can use hash (hush) value replace verification and.
Next, to describe with reference to the precedence diagram of Figure 10 and Figure 11 and the flow chart of Figure 12 to Figure 15, when the fax MFP 101 with above-mentioned configuration and function carried out data communication with another MFP 101 that faxes with the configuration identical with this fax MFP 101 and identical functions, performed processing was operated.Further, according to by as the CPU 102 of control unit according to the order that the control program of storage among the ROM 103 produces, carry out the processing operation that will describe with reference to figures 10 to Figure 15.For convenience of description, the fax MFP 101 that become transmitter will be called as transmitter 101A, and the fax MFP 101 that will become receiver will be called as receiver 101B.
Shown in the precedence diagram of Figure 10 and Figure 11, at first between transmitter 101A and receiver 101B, form and call out the control session by SIP.That is, the session of the IP phone number of transmitter 101A by having specified receiver 101B participates in request " invitations ", the calling of asking receiver 101B to sip server 120.In addition, IP address and the port numbers that will use etc. are sent to receiver 101B (T101) as the various information of transmitter in media session.Further, in a second embodiment, the calling control session that formed before setting up media session will be called as " start and call out the control session ".
Sip server 120 is after the information of receiving such as " invitation ", to location server (not shown) inquiry with information that IP phone number and IP address are connected and IP address that the specified IP phone number of transmitter 101A interrelates.Sip server 120 is carried out calling by sending to the IP address of the receiver 101B that is obtained such as the information of " invitation " of receiving from transmitter 101A.
When receiver 101B response during from the calling of sip server 120, receiver 101B receives " invitation " and such as the various information of the positional information of transmitter 101A.Then, receiver 101B sends to sip server 120 with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK ".Together with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK ", for example receiver 101B sends whether the type information of the communication data that IP address, the port numbers that will use, receiver 101B as the positional information of receiver 101B can use or communication protocol and indication receiver 101B support error correction by unique agreement information, as the various information (R101) relevant with receiver 101B.
Transmitter 101A is after the various information of receiving success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " and receiver 101B, to be used for decision communication data types such as communication protocol that data send etc. according to the various information of receiver 101B (for example, receiver 101B can use communication protocol) and transmitter 101A.Then, transmitter 101A is according to the type of the communication data that is determined, selecting to be to use first communication unit still is second communication unit (details of selection operation will be described later), and carries out data communication by selected communication unit.Further, first communication unit is carried out data communication with the destination by SIP in media session.The second communication unit forms end call control session, and does not carry out data communication in media session, and foundation connects with the new TCP of identical destination, also directly carries out data communication on the TCP that is set up connects then.Further, can be in equipment configuration information of transmitter 101A etc. the information registered in advance of arbitrary communication unit being appointed as the communication unit that will use.Then, can select arbitrary communication unit according to the appointed information of registration.
Be chosen in the media session under the situation about carrying out with the data communication of destination at transmitter 101A, as shown in figure 10, transmitter 101A sends the information " ACK " that success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " is received in indication.In addition, transmitter 101A is by sip server 120, will send to receiver 101B such as the information of type, communication protocol and the port numbers of the communication data that will use in media session, is used for the information (T102) of the media session that will set up as decision.Then, between transmitter 101A and receiver 101B, set up media session.Transmitter 101A carries out the various data communication with receiver 101B according to the type by calling out the communication data of the consult to decide of carrying out in the control session in above-mentioned startup, communication protocol, communication port etc.
After data communication in media session finished, " goodbye " that transmitter 101A will ask to disconnect the SIP connection sent to sip server 120.Sip server 120 sends to receiver 101B (T103) with " goodbye " after receiving " goodbye ".Then, when receiver 101B sends to sip server 120 (R102) with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK ", and sip server 120 is also with success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " when sending to transmitter 101A, and a series of conversation end and communication are disconnected.Further, after media session finishes, the calling control session that forms till communication is disconnected will be called as " end call control session ".
Simultaneously, receive at R101 after success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " and various information that receiver 101B sends at transmitter 101A, select to connect the data communication of carrying out with the destination at transmitter 101A by setting up new TCP, and in media session, do not carry out under the situation of data communication, as shown in figure 11, at transmitter 101A just after T102 transmission information, " goodbye " that transmitter 101A just will ask to disconnect the SIP connection sends to sip server 120, and the end call of formation and receiver 101B control session, and disconnect the SIP connection.Then, transmitter 101A asks the TCP of receiver 101B to connect again, and sets up TCP connection (T104) between transmitter 101A and receiver 101B.Transmitter 101A directly carries out receiver 101B in the TCP connection of being set up data send (T105).After data sending processing is finished, carry out the disconnection process (T106) that TCP connects.
In the above description, transmitter 101A in the media session of setting up by SIP or directly in TCP connections, the execution data communication.Yet, carry out under the situation of data communication by polytype communication protocol at the same time, the data communication (with reference to Figure 10) of a part can be in media session, carried out, and other data communication (with reference to the lower part of Figure 11) can be in the TCP connection that rebulids, carried out.
Next, to describe with reference to the flow chart of Figure 12 and Figure 13, when carrying out startup calling control session, transmitter 101A is to carry out data communication or directly carry out under the situation of data communication the processing operation that transmitter 101A is performed etc. in execution data communication in the TCP connection in media session by selecting.
Transmitter 101A passes through SIP call receiver 101B (S81) at T101.Under the situation of the response that has R101 (S82: be), transmitter 101A carries out negotiation (S83) when the control session is called out in formation and the startup of receiver 101B.Transmitter 101A obtains communication type that receiver 101B can use, communication protocol, communication port etc.
Under the situation of transmitter 101A by the data communication of individual data communication execution and receiver 101B (S84: be), transmitter 101A carries out the communication process (S85) that will describe in the back.Simultaneously, under the situation of carrying out by a plurality of data communication between transmitter 101A and the receiver 101B of communicating by letter, for example under voice data communication and situation that view data is communicated by letter or under voice data communication and situation that animation data is communicated by letter, transmitter 101A carries out the communication process (S86) that will describe in the back to each data communication.
Further, if at S82 not from the response of receiver 101B, in other words, if transmitter 101A receives the answer code of misdirection content, and do not receive the success response sign indicating number " 200 OK " of R102, transmitter 101A executive communication fault processing (S87) then.For example, handle, the message of indication garble reason, error code etc. are presented on the display unit 111 or from printer unit 110 print as garble.
Next, the communication process of S85 and the S86 of transmitter 101A will be described with reference to the flow chart of Figure 13.In addition, the difference of the communication process content of carrying out at S85 and S86 is: at S85, a data communication is carried out the communication process that will describe in the back; And, the communication process that will describe is in the back carried out in each data communication in a plurality of data communication at S86.The content of the communication process that each data communication is carried out is identical.
At first, transmitter 101A selects whether to carry out the data communication (S101) in media session according to the type of the data communication that will carry out.That is, the communication means that the type of transmitter 101A basis and the data communication that will carry out interrelates is determined the setting of table 104a, and selecting is to carry out data communication in media session, still connects and sets up new TCP and connect and carry out data communication by finishing SIP.For example, as shown in Figure 9, be under the situation of voice or moving image in the type of the data communication that will carry out, because communication means is set to " media session/RTP ", so transmitter 101A is chosen in and carries out data communication in the media session.Type in the data communication that will carry out is under the situation of device data or image, and transmitter 101A selects to connect and to set up new TCP and connect and carry out data communication (S101) by finishing SIP.
Be chosen under the situation of carrying out data communication in the media session (S101: be) information (S102) of the type such as the data communication that will in media session, use, communication protocol and communication port etc. that transmitter 101A decision is relevant with media session at transmitter 101A.Then, transmitter 101A determines whether to carry out the correction process (S103) of the data communication that sends and receive according to the type information of the data communication in the middle of the information relevant with media session that is determined in media session.That is, the communication means that the type of transmitter 101A basis and the data communication carried out in media session interrelates is determined the setting of table 104a, determines whether to carry out correction process.For example, as shown in Figure 9, be under the situation of voice or moving image in the type of the data communication that will carry out, because that error correction is set to is invalid, so transmitter 101A determines not carry out correction process.Type in the data communication that will carry out is under the situation of device data or image, and owing to error correction is set to effectively, so transmitter 101A determines to carry out correction process (S103).
Under the situation of the definite execution of transmitter 101A correction process (S103: be), if transmitter 101A is according to starting the various information of calling out the receiver 101B that obtains in the control session, determine that receiver 101B can utilize TCP to carry out correction process (S104: be), then transmitter 101A sends to receiver 101B (S105) with " ACK " etc.Transmitter 101A carries out receiver 101B in the media session of being set up data send, and carry out correction process (S106) by TCP simultaneously.
At S104, if transmitter 101A is according to starting the various information of calling out the receiver 101B that obtains in the control session, (S104: not), then transmitter 101A determines whether receiver 101B supports correction process (S107) by unique agreement to determine can not to utilize TCP to carry out correction process by receiver 101B.Support by unique agreement at receiver 101B under the situation of correction process (S107: be) that transmitter 101A sends to receiver 101B (S108) with " ACK " etc.Transmitter 101A carries out the data communication of receiver 101B in the media session of being set up, carry out correction process (S109) by unique agreement simultaneously.
Simultaneously, determine not carry out (S103: not) under the situation of correction process at S103 at transmitter 101A, and determine that at S107 receiver 101B does not support by unique agreement under the situation of correction process that (S107: not), transmitter 101A sends to receiver 101B (S110) with " ACK " etc. at transmitter 101A.Transmitter 101A carries out the data transmission of receiver 101B and does not carry out correction process (S111).Further, at S110, transmitter can send indication will not carry out the information of correction process.
Transmitter 101A forms the end call control session with receiver 101B, and carries out the disconnection process (S112) that SIP connects.
Simultaneously, at S101, select to finish the SIP connection and connect (S101: deny) under the situation of carrying out data communication by setting up new TCP at transmitter 101A, transmitter 101A forms the end call control session with receiver 101B immediately, and carries out the disconnection process (S113) that SIP connects.Then, transmitter 101A carries out and specifies in the TCP connection processing that starts the positional information (IP address, port numbers) of calling out the receiver 101B that obtains in the control session, and sets up TCP connection (S114).Then, transmitter 101A directly carries out receiver 101B in the TCP connection data send, and carry out correction process (S115) by TCP simultaneously.After data sending processing was finished, transmitter 101A carried out the disconnection process (S116) that TCP connects.
Next, will be with reference to the flow chart of Figure 14 and Figure 15, the processing operation as the opposing party's of the communication of transmitter 101A receiver 101B is described.
Receiver 101B at T101 by the calling (S151) of sip response from transmitter 101A.Then, receiver 101B exchanges various information when the control session is called out in formation and the startup of transmitter 101A, in other words, be implemented as and set up the required negotiation of media session (S152).Receiver 101B from transmitter 101A receive and " ACK " together, about the decision information (S153) of the media session that will set up.
Under the situation that TCP is used as the transport layer in the media session (S154: be), receiver 101B carries out Data Receiving in the media session of being set up, and carries out correction process (S155) by TCP simultaneously.
Under the situation of carrying out correction process by unique agreement (S154: not, S156: be), receiver 101B carries out Data Receiving, carries out correction process (S157) by unique agreement simultaneously.Further, in this case, UDP is used as transport layer.
(S154: not, S156: not), receiver 101B carries out Data Receiving and does not carry out correction process (S158) under the situation of not carrying out correction process.Further, in this case, UDP is used as transport layer.
Data Receiving at step S155, S157 or S158 is finished dealing with, and receiver 101B receives " goodbye " afterwards by sip server 120 from transmitter 101A, receiver 101B forms the end call control session with transmitter 101A, and carries out the disconnection process (S159) that SIP connects.
Simultaneously, in the TCP connection requests from transmitter 101A of receiver 101B basis at S114, set up with situation that the TCP of transmitter 101A is connected under (S201), receiver 101B directly carries out Data Receiving in the TCP connection, simultaneously by TCP execution correction process (S202).After Data Receiving was finished, receiver 101B carried out the disconnection process (S203) that TCP connects.
Under transmitter 101A carried out situation with a plurality of data communication of receiver 101B, the reception processing (S151 to S159 and S201 to S203) of (S101 to S116) and receiver 101B was handled in the transmission that transmitter 101A is carried out in each data communication simultaneously.Therefore, for example carry out about under the situation as the data communication of the speech data of the type of the data communication that will carry out and Still image data simultaneously, set up simultaneously and be used to carry out the media session of voice data communication and be used to carry out the TCP that Still image data communicates by letter be connected at transmitter 101A and receiver 101B.
As mentioned above, according to the fax MFP (communication equipment) 101 of second embodiment of the invention, be that requirement is under the situation of real-time speech data etc. in the type of the communication data that sends and receive, in media session, carry out data communication and do not carry out correction process.Intactly reappearing under the situation of communication data of view data of initial data at the receiver place such as requiring, can in media session, carry out in the correction process, perhaps by disconnect SIP connect and set up new TCP connect carry out correction process in, carry out data communication.Therefore, according to fax MFP 101, wait according to characteristic, the target of the communication data that utilizes SIP to send and receive and to carry out the data communication process.
Transmitter 101A utilizes the positional information of calling out the receiver 101B that obtains in the control session in the startup of SIP, asks TCP to connect.Therefore, can omit query processing to DNS (domain name system) etc.In addition, the user of transmitter can carry out the data communication of destination by the IP phone number of named place of destination only.Can omit the e-mail address of destination or the assigned operation of URI (unified resource identifier).
In media session, carry out under the situation of data communication, caused various restrictions, and can not utilize frequency band fully about data communication.Yet, if the directly data communication of execution rest image etc. in TCP connections can be carried out data communication fully efficiently.
Even intactly reappearing under the situation of communication data of view data of initial data at the receiver place such as requiring, also can determine the setting of table 104a according to communication means, when in the media session of setting up by SIP, carrying out correction process, carry out data communication by TCP or unique agreement.
Next, will another example of second embodiment be described.The fax MFP 101 of another example of second embodiment comprises the definite table of the communication means shown in Figure 16 or 17, rather than communication means is determined table 104a.Determine table according to the communication means shown in Figure 16 or Figure 17, fax MFP 101 carries out the selection processing of S101 and definite processing of S103.Further, the communication means shown in Figure 17 determines that the application of table is based on following condition: at S84 negates to determine, and does not carry out the processing operation of S86.
So the communication means shown in Figure 16 is determined corresponding each the port numbers storage pass, destination of table 104b and carry out data communication in media session, still directly the configuration information of execution data communication in TCP connections rather than in media session, and about whether carrying out the configuration information of correction process.In the selection of S101 is handled, has the setting that communication means is determined to show the transmitter 101A basis of 104b and determined table 104b at the communication means that the destination port numbers that S83 obtains interrelates, selecting is to carry out data communication in media session, still directly carries out data communication in the TCP connection rather than in media session.For example, as shown in figure 16, port numbers is under the situation of " 4004 " or " 4006 " in the destination, because communication means is set to " media session/RTP ", therefore is chosen in the media session and carries out data communication by RTP.Port numbers is under the situation of " 4008 " or " 4010 " in the destination, because communication means is set to " TCP connection ", therefore selects directly to carry out data communication in the TCP connection rather than in media session.In definite processing of S103, determine the setting of table 104b to determine whether to carry out correction process according to the communication means that interrelates with the destination port numbers of obtaining at S83.Therefore for example, as shown in figure 16, port numbers is under the situation of " 4004 " or " 4006 " in the destination, because that error correction is set to is invalid, determines not carry out correction process.Port numbers is under the situation of " 4008 " or " 4010 " in the destination, because error correction is set to effectively, therefore determines to carry out correction process.
So the communication means shown in Figure 17 determines that corresponding each IP address, the destination storage of table 104c is closed and carry out the still direct configuration information of execution data communication in TCP connections rather than in media session of data communication in media session, and about whether carrying out the configuration information of correction process.In the selection of S101 is handled, the communication means that has the transmitter 101A basis of the definite table of communication means 104c and interrelate in the IP address, destination that S83 obtains is determined the setting of table 104c, determine in media session, to carry out data communication, still directly in the TCP connection rather than in media session, carry out data communication.For example, as shown in figure 17, be under the situation of " 128.2.3.1 " or " 128.2.3.2 " in IP address, destination, because communication means is set to " media session/RTP ", therefore determine in media session, to carry out data communication by RTP.In IP address, destination is under the situation of " 128.2.3.3 " or " 128.2.3.4 ", because communication means is set to " TCP connection ", therefore determines directly to carry out data communication in the TCP connection rather than in media session.In definite processing of S103, determine the setting of table 104c to determine whether to carry out correction process according to the communication means that interrelates with the IP address, destination that obtains at S83.For example, as shown in figure 17, be under the situation of " 128.2.3.1 " or " 128.2.3.2 " in IP address, destination, therefore because that error correction is set to is invalid, determine not carry out correction process.In IP address, destination is under the situation of " 128.2.3.3 " or " 128.2.3.4 ", because error correction is set to effectively, therefore determines to carry out correction process.
Further, the selection of S101 handle and definite processing of S103 in, can be according to the information except that above-mentioned communication data type, IP address, destination and destination slogan about media session, carry out about whether carrying out the definite of correction process.
