Abstract

PURPOSE:To send data in a form where a sender of a text and a relay station are identified and recognized correctly by converting the data into a pattern data when no reception data memory is equipped to the reception side and sending a telephone number in the code system of the reception side when the code system differs from each other. CONSTITUTION:A sentence means 4 sends terminal information where a telephone number is converted into a pattern or a reception side code system data based on the presence or absence of a reception data storage section and the type information of the code system. That is, the control means 4 converts the telephone number into a pattern data by outputting the number to a pattern conversion means 20 when a 2nd device is not equipped with the reception data storage section when the code system differs from a 1st and 2nd devices based on the notice of a notice means 10. On the other hand, in case of the storage section equipped, the telephone number is outputted to the code conversion means 3 to convert the number into the code system data of the 2nd device. Thus, even in the communication between the devices whose code system differs from each other, the reception side identifies and recognizes the sender clearly.

Description
