Abstract

The object of the invention is a system for sending and receiving of information by use of the telex number. The system contains switching facilities (6, 7) and receiving equipment of the user (1, 8) and a telex exchange (4). Between these there is a connection for the transfer of information. The characterizing part of the claim is the changing of the address of the data sent to the telex number. The address is changed in the switch (6, 7) into the address data of the receiving telefax or a corresponding terminal (1, 8) printing out the message.

Description

A SYSTEM FOR THE SENDING AND RECEIVING OF INFORMATION
The object of the invention is a system for sending and receivin information by use of the telex number.
A common telex functionality of an electronic mailbox service is described in Figure 1. For instance the mailbox service Telebox offered by Telecom Finland includes, as an value-added service, telex functionality, in which arriving telex messages flow from telex network through the public telex exchange into a special computer of Telebox service. The service computer acknowledges t message, but does not deliver the message automatically. After access to the service computer 3 by a microcomputer 1 through th public network 2 the system informs the customer about an arrive telex message B and a customer is able to retrieve a telex messa A, which is available to be presented on the screen 1. The syste requires customer activity (access to the computer) in order to able to deliver an arrived message.
Differing from electronic mailbox systems requiring user activit getting a message in visible form the invention uses a method allowing an immediate writing out on paper. Compared with a norm telex subscriber connection the proposed system does not need expensive special equipment and fixed connections.
The purpose of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks menti above. Characterizing for the invention is, what is presented in patent claims.
The primary benefit of the invention is that the subscriber is a to receive telex messages into his telefax terminal by using a normal telex number. It is also possible to change the telefax number, corresponging the programmed telex number of the system, according to the site of the receiving fax.
The invention is described by referring to the following drawing Figure 1 presents the telex functionality of an electronic mail system in use.
Figure 2 presents the system for information transfer developed connection with the invention. This method is called telephone network service.
Figure 3 presents an example of an application where the message delivered directly to the workstation of the customers ADP-syste This method is called PABX-service.
The subscriber has a microcomputer or a microcomputer network an telefax terminal. Messages can be sent from the microcomputer or PC network by using the public telephone network. The messages c be transferred without the use of fixed telex lines, special terminals or adapters or special software.
As text information or corresponding data is received in a telex number the text switch automatically selects, according to information feeded earlier, the telefax number corresponding the telex number of the receiving subscriber. In this way the subscr gets the information in text form. The adressee does not any mor need an expensive fixed cabling and a telex terminal for the acc to the telex network.
In the following it is referred more in detail to the attached drawings:
Figure 2 presents the Distex telephone network service according the invention known by an application for trade mark of Telecom Finland. After the access of the user by the microcomputer 1 and through the public telephone network 2 to the text switch 6 he ca create and send both a telex message A for the telex network 5 an telefax message C for the telephone network 2. He can also create dialogue type telex connection B. As a user identifier it is possible to use the telex answerback. The incoming message D addressed to this telex number is directed from the telex networ through a telex exchange 4 to a text switch 6. The text switch t changes the message D into a telefax message and sends it to a telefax number 8 (which corresponds the telex number and has bee programmed in the text switch) through the fax switch 7 and the telephone network 2. In the delivery of the message the sub-addr functionality is used.
Figure 3 contains a more exact explanation of the subselection/ subaddress functionality of the PABX-service. The users may have instance a six-digit telex number 8300 00 with the common part 8 The two final digits can vary between 01 and 99, which gives 99 sub-addresses as in telephone PABXs with the same functionality.
An arriving telex message is directed from the telex network 5 through a telex exchange 4 to a text switch 6, which in cooperat with the user's ADP system 9 directs the message right into the receiving terminal 1,8. In order to function the subaddress cont needs supporting software in the telex exchange 4, the text swit and the ADP system 9.
Reference number 10 presents the border between the user functionalities and the functionalities taken care of by the ser operator.
