Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image communication device which is capable of controlling the application box of every sending device and forming a plurality of the boxes having the same box number. SOLUTION: An image communication device acquires an originating telephone number which is sent after terminal starting signals (S10), and the image communication device determines whether SUB signals are pent from a sending side or not (S11). When the image communication device determines that the SUB signals are not received, the device carries out a normal receiving operation (S14) and terminates processing. The image communication device retrieves an application to execute on a relation between the originating telephone number acquired in the step 10 and a control receiving control table when the SUB signals are received (S12), The retrieved application indicates what kind of action should be executed when the originating telephone number can not be obtained because the telephone number is not informed or when a relation between the acquired originating telephone number and the SUB signals is not shown. Thereafter, the application retrieved in the step 12 is executed (S13).
