Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a communication system for transmitting data from a large number of data transmitters to a large number of data receivers. It also relates to a method for transmitting data from a large number of data transmitters to a large number of data receivers.
  • the above invention has set itself the task of creating a communication system and a method for transmitting data from a multiplicity of data transmitters to a multiplicity of data receivers which avoid the disadvantages of the prior art shown above.
  • the communication system comprises a multiplicity of fax transmission stations, each of which is assigned to a specific data transmitter, a central server which has an input connection unit and an output connection unit, and a multiplicity data processing stations, each of which is assigned to a specific data receiver, the communication system being distinguished by the following further features:
  • the fax transmission stations are connected via a data network and the input connection unit to a fax reception station assigned to the central server;
  • the data processing stations are connected to the central server via the output connection unit and a data network;
  • the central server comprises a data transmitter database which contains entries at least on the identity of the connected data transmitter;
  • the central server also includes a data recipient database which contains entries relating at least to the e-mail address and identity of the connected data recipient;
  • the central server further comprises an automatic website generator which converts the data of the incoming faxes into websites and an automatic e-mail generator; the e-mails generated by the e-mail generator contain links to the websites generated by the website generator.
  • the fax sending stations send data to a fax receiving station assigned to the central server; the data are linked to identity data, which are stored in a data transmitter database of the central server; a website generator of the central server automatically converts the data contained in the incoming faxes into one website at a time; an e-mail generator on the central server automatically generates e-mails that contain links to the generated web pages; the central server automatically sends the generated e-mails to the e-mail addresses of the data recipients stored in a data recipient database.
  • the central server connected according to the present invention between the data senders and the data receivers thus takes care of the automatic conversion of the data received by fax from the data senders into a website format, the collection, storage and provision of websites according to the data containing faxes of the data senders and the automatically via E - Mail notification of data recipients that new data-containing websites are available.
  • the identity of the data sender is communicated, which results from the automatic use of the data sender database.
  • the link is made either via the fax identifier of the data sender.
  • the central server has an extension-capable fax card, whereby each connected data transmitter is assigned its own virtual fax number of the fax receiving station; in this case there is a link to the identity data stored in the data transmitter database on the basis of the selected virtual fax number, the fax identifier of the data transmitter being able to be used as a plausibility or access control.
  • the decisive factor here is the at least one link in the e-mail to the at least one website which is referred to in the e-mail in question. This is in practice for the users connected to the system according to the invention only a minimal effort is required to get the desired data.
  • each data transmitter connected to the communication system only needs to send a single fax containing the current data; he saves money, shortens the occupancy of his fax transmission station and does not have to worry about the actuality of the data of the data recipients he is courting. There is also no mass sending of e-mails with linked fax files, which relieves the strain on the data networks.
  • the data recipients are not showered with piles of paper; Rather, after receiving the incoming e-mail on the new websites, each data recipient decides for himself when and to what extent he accesses the website and - if interested - downloads the data contained there and, if necessary, prints it out. This also results in cost and other advantages for the recipient, by avoiding the data system being filled with "data scrap" or by saving fax paper and ink. Furthermore, the availability of his fax machine or his PC fax station is not restricted by unsolicited incoming faxes from the data senders.
  • the data transmitter database also contains data relating to the affiliation of the connected data transmitters to at least one specific data transmitter group. This allows automatic, targeted preparation and forwarding of the data, in that the e-mails addressed to the data recipients only contain information on websites that contain the data from data senders of a certain data transmitter group.
  • the data receiver database additionally contains entries about which data groups that correspond to specific data transmitter groups are of interest to the respective data receiver.
  • grouping criteria include in particular industry affiliation and / or product groups.
  • the data receiver database is assigned a setting module for data receiver-specific settings for receiving e-mail.
  • a setting module allows a specific definition of the requirements for receiving e-mail by the data recipient himself.
  • the data recipient can define which data groups (see above) should be included in the e-mails addressed to him.
  • the data receiver can, for example, set the frequency (period) with which it is informed about newly set websites.
  • the data recipient can, for example, use a corresponding setting to stipulate that data originating from certain data senders are not taken into account in e-mails addressed to him (blocking notice). Due to the individual adjustability of specifications for e-mail reception, the data flow within the communication system can be further freed and the user friendliness can be further increased.
  • the central server includes a data archive that stores all the data received.
  • This is expediently created as a website archive in which the data records which have already been converted into the website format are stored. This enables access at any time - for example via a button on the current website - to data that is no longer current.
  • Such a data archive is suitable for documenting the temporal development of the data transmitter. In this way, the data recipients can gain clues as to which data sender they are connecting with, in particular want to do business with.
  • the central server can comprise a fax transmission station. This is particularly useful in connection with a reminder routine running in the central server, which uses an automatically generated fax to remind the data senders, of which no fax was received within a defined period, of the transmission of current data.
  • the text recognition level comprises a search term memory, which in particular contains entries on central grouping criteria. If the automatic check of an incoming fax in the text recognition stage shows that a certain search term entered in the search term memory, which can for example characterize a certain product group, appears, the e-mail generator sends a corresponding message to the relevant e-mail address. mail built in.
  • multi-page data faxes are converted into a corresponding number of websites.
  • the link in the e-mail only leads to the website corresponding to the first fax page; only this is loaded when the link is called.
  • the data recipient can scroll to the other pages using the corresponding buttons or (if they are not interested) exit without having loaded all the data contained in the relevant data fax and transformed into websites. This option also saves him time.
  • the three data senders are individualized by their fax machines 1, each of which comprises a fax sending station 2 and a fax receiving station 3.
