SYSTEM FOR SENDING AND RECEIVING INFORMATION

The invention relates to a system for transmitting and receiving information, preferably using a telex number.

5 * Your current e-mail telex function is shown in Figure 1.

For example, the TELEN telebox system has a telex function as a value-added service, in which incoming telex messages are routed from the telex network via the telex center to the telebox service computer. The Service-10 computer acknowledges the message as received, but does not deliver it to the client automatically. When the customer connects to the service computer 3 via his optional computer 2, e.g. with his micro 1 (PC), he can send a telex message (A). At the same time, the system notifies him of a telex message, from which I created it (B) on his own terminal 1. The system thus requires active contact with the service machine 3, so that the recipient usually receives his message.

In contrast to e-mail, where the recipient of the message must always visit himself to see if the messages have arrived, the messages according to the invention are immediately printed on paper. Compared to a normal telex subscription, expensive, fixed management and equipment costs are saved.

It is an object of the invention to provide an improvement over the above-mentioned disadvantages. The invention is characterized by what is stated in the claims.

A primary advantage of the invention is that the subscriber using the telex number 30 can receive his telex message to his fax machine. If necessary, the fax number corresponding to the telex number programmed into the system can be varied according to the location of the address fax to the hotel, home, etc.

The invention will be described with reference to the following drawings.

Figure 1 shows the e-mail telex function in use.

Figure 2 shows a system according to the invention for data transmission.

Figure 3 shows an example of the implementation according to Figure 2.

The subscriber has his own micro or network and fax. The messages are sent from the micro or network using the public switched telephone network 5. Messages are transmitted without fixed telex cables, special terminals or adapters or special software.

When text information or the like is received on a telex number, the exchange automatically dials the fax number • corresponding to the recipient's telex number according to the information entered there.

This allows the recipient to receive the information in text format. The receiver no longer needs the expensive fixed cabling and terminal needed for a telex connection.

15 Referring now to the accompanying drawings in more detail, Figure 2 shows a Distex telephone network service according to the invention known from the Post and Telecommunications Authority for the trademark applied for. After the user connects via the telephone network 2 to the text exchange 6 of the micro 1 (PC), he can create and send a telex message-20 man (A) to the telex network 5 and a fax message (C) to the telephone network 2. At the same time he can establish a "chatting" . The user's ID can be his or her telex number, to which the addressed telex message (D) is routed from the telex network 5 via the telex center 4 to step 6, which converts the message (D) into a fax message sent by . The telex subaddress function is used as an aid in the control.

Figure 3 describes in more detail the sub-selection / address function of the system according to Figure 2. For example, users may have a six-digit telex number 8300 00, where 8300 is a common part. The last two digits of the number series can vary between 01 ... 99, resulting in 99 subaddresses for the sauna as in bypass telephones.

The incoming telex message is routed from the telex network 5 via the telex center 4 to the text exchange 6, which together with the user's computer system

Claims (4)

A system for transmitting and receiving data, preferably using a telex number, the system comprising a switch (6,7) and a receiving means (1,8) and a telex exchange (4) between which there is a connection for transmitting data, characterized in that in the exchange (6,7), the address of the information sent to the telex number is changed to the address information of the recipient's fax or similar device, to which medium (1,8) the information is printed. System according to Claim 1, characterized in that different user interfaces for a single micro (1), a micro-network (9) and a computer (9) can preferably be connected to the switch. A system according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the exchange (6, 7) is preferably connected to a fax machine (8) corresponding to a telex number. 3 89224 uses system 9 to direct the message directly to the respondent's terminal 1, 8. In order to operate, subaddress control requires supporting software in the telex exchange 4, the text exchange 6 and the user's computer system 9. 5 Reference numeral 10 shows the boundary between the functions transmitted by the user and the functions of the movement providing telephone services. According to the invention, by means of the sub-selection function of the exchange, the telex message is changed so that it is printed on the facsimile instead of the telex. 15 A system according to claim 1, characterized in that the telex message is converted into a fax (8) for printing by means of a sub-selection function of the switch (6,7). 4,89224
