Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for receiving fax messages via a data network with connected computers.
  • the present invention relates specifically to a fax server that converts received faxs to e-mail which is distributed via a server for distribution of e-mail over the data network.
  • New fax machines are expensive to buy and require a new telephone subscription for each fax machine.
  • New fax machines also require comprehensive wiring.
  • Fax messages are very often sent within industries without a title page, since it is often considered an unnecessary waste of time to prepare a title page, for instance because the sender and the receiver have earlier agreed to the transmission of the fax message by telephone. It is possible that the fax receiver becomes engaged in other duties during the lapse of time between the telephone agreement and the fax transmission and completely forgets that a fax message is being sent. In such a case, the person attending the fax machine and distributing received messages will be unable to determine the person or department to which the message is sent.
  • Fax handling also has environmental drawbacks.
  • Laser fax machines generate ozone dust, which is harmful to the health.
  • fax machines placed in working offices have a high sound level, which can inflict noise injuries on persons working in the vicinity of the machine.
  • Other fax machines, such as roll fax machines using thermopaper have a short useful life. It is not viable economically for most companies to provide a fax machine for each employee.
  • US-A 4,941, 170 describes an e-mail distributing system in which fax messages are transmitted via the e-mail system.
  • the system operates in accordance with the OCR principle, which means that a fax message is received as an image in a selective format of the type TIF, BMP, PCX, etc.
  • the image is scanned in accordance with a coordinate system via OCR software, to establish an identity that refers the fax message to an address, for instance to the identity of a physical person, in the local "e- mail office", e.g. a local e-mail server.
  • the sender of a fax message is required to mark the message so as to enable the receiver to identify the addressee, meaning that the receiver of the fax message must know where to look in the image to find the mark. It is also necessary for the sender of a fax message to mark the message in the correct place in the image in order for the receiver to be able to identify the addressee. Sender and receiver must therefore be synchronized with one another with regard to the information in the image.
  • the system described in US-A 4,941 , 170 has been available commercially for many years.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide fax connections in a telephone exchange or telephone switchboard that is connected to a fax server which converts received fax messages to e-mail and distributes these messages over a data network to connected computers.
  • the invention enables all who are connected to the data network to have their own fax via e-mail, i.e. the possibility of receiving a fax message at his/her workplace without having access to a conventional fax machine.
  • the invention relates to a method for receiving fax messages via a data network with connected computers for achieving the objects of and advantages afforded by the present invention.
  • Computers that are connected to the data network are allocated a fax connection telephone number in a telephone exchange.
  • the telephone exchange places the numbers allocated on an internal or external link, depending on the embodiment of the invention concerned, to a fax server which converts received fax messages to e-mail and forwards the messages over the data network to respective computers connected to the fax numbers in the data network, via an e-mail server.
  • the fax messages are thus received on respective connected computers via e-mail.
  • fax numbers for connected computers are reserved by number analysis in the telephone exchange, via a table.
  • the fax server and the e-mail server may both be incorporated in one and the same server.
  • the fax server may convert the telephone number of a fax connection to an e-mail address via a database.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for receiving fax messages via a data network, wherewith computers connected to the data network can obtain a fax number in a telephone exchange.
  • the arrangement includes means for receiving fax messages from the telephone exchange and converting fax messages to e-mail, means for signalling status and detecting communication with the telephone exchange, means for interpreting address information, and means for controlling data communication from and to the telephone exchange and for controlling the e-mail to the computers connected to the data network.
  • the arrangement may be connected between the telephone exchange and the server that handles e-mail distribution.
  • the server handling e-mail distribution may be included in a server common to the arrangement.
  • the telephone number of a fax connection is converted to an e-mail address via a database.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a fax message receiving system according to the present invention
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a fax server that converts received fax messages to e-mail.

  • a company receives via a telephone station 10 a fax message sent by an external fax machine 12.
  • the fax machine is coupled to the company's telephone exchange 14 via the telephone station 10, which includes an AXE switch.
  • Such company switchboards 14 will normally be MD-110 switchboards, MERIDIAN, etc.
  • the switchboard 14 has connected thereto telephones 16 with respective extension numbers.
  • the switchboard 14 is also connected to a route 18, which in the illustrated case has three channels that are intended solely for fax messages.
  • the route connects with a fax server 20 in accordance with the present invention, said server functioning to convert received fax messages to e-mail, e.g. e-mail.
  • the fax message converted to e-mail is sent over a line 22 to an e-mail server 24 which, in turn, connects with the company data network 26.

  • the server 24 is intended, among other things, to distribute e-mail over the data network to computers 28 connected thereto.
  • Each computer 28 in the data network 26 that can receive e-mail has been allocated an extension number in the telephone exchange or switchboard 14.
  • the switchboard or telephone exchange of a company has been allocated a main telephone number 134000 with conventional telephone extension numbers ranging from 134000 to 134400.

  • TLU23 All traffic directed to the number series 134500 to 599 from, for instance, fax machines 12 will be controlled to a specific interface, in the illustrated case a telephone switchboard or exchange MD-110 from Ericsson, designated TLU23.
  • the letters TLU have no relevant significance, but merely refer to Ericsson's ABC classification, such as AXE, etc.
  • TLU23 is the interface that is connected to the fax server 20 with a possible personal computer. TLU23 can be configured to send information in what can be called "forwards" on a current connection.
  • a typical interface used, e.g., for signalling between the company exchange 14 in the present invention and servers, such as the server 20, is designated E&M (Ear & Mouth).
  • TLU23 Upon receipt of a call from the fax machine 12 to the fax connection number 134557, TLU23 will send the digits 557 in the number series for fax connections on selected connection of said three channels to the fax server 20. This information is sent in the form of DTMF signalling (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency), which is followed by the establishment of a telephone connection with the fax server 20 where the fax message is received. The fax message is therewith converted to e-mail via means for converting fax signalling to a text message in e-mail.
  • DTMF signalling Dual Tone Multiple Frequency
  • the person or the computer that has been allocated the received fax number in this case 557 in the number series 134557, is checked in a database in the fax server 20.
  • a corresponding address in the internal mail system is checked at the same time, wherewith the fax message converted to e-mail is distributed over the data network 26 to the fax receiving computer having extension number 557, via the line 22 and the e-mail server 24.
