Then, the controller 10 inputs it in step 110 to connect to the Internet fax sub. Then again, the user will operate the key input unit 30a corresponding to the destination telephone number to which the final fax message is to be sent. Then, in step 130, the controller 10 inputs the keys and transmits a destination telephone number to the connected internet fax sub in step 140. Then, in step 150, the message is sent to the Internet fax sub. The message is scanned through the scanner 40, analog modulated via the modem 50, and transmitted via the NCU 60 to the telephone network.

Conventionally, as a method of using an Internet service by connecting to an Internet fax sub, it is inconvenient to input a destination telephone number to which a user sends a fax message after inputting a subscribed internet fax sub number as shown in FIG. 1. Alternatively, a separate dial adapter may be attached to the Internet fax machine so that the adapter detects the phone number while dialing the fax telephone number to which the user will send, dials the Internet fax sub, and retrieves the detected phone number. It was sent to the Internet fax sub. The dial adapter may include a dial detector for detecting a facsimile telephone number, a dial memory for storing an internet fax sub number, and a dialer for dialing according to an internet fax sub number in the dial memory when the dial detector detects a fax telephone number. Is done.

As described above, in the case of using a conventional dial adapter, the connection is possible automatically, but the system becomes complicated, which causes a cost increase.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically connecting to an internet facsimile sub using a protocol in an internet facsimile apparatus.
