Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3605303
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the deterioration of efficiency in a system by executing change-over to use a facsimile function in the case the total quantity of picture data is larger than a reference value and to use an electronic mail function when it is smaller than the reference value.
SOLUTION: The picture of an original is read by a picture reading means 15. Data of the read picture is compressed and stored in RAM 13 or a storage device 20. In this case, the total quantity of compressed picture data. At this time, a value applying to a transmitting destination and a transmitting time band is selected from a reference value table and the value is substituted for a variable number. Then the total quantity is compared with the variable number. Composite communication equipment 10 is operated to execute change-over to use the facsimile function by way of a telephone line when the total quantity of picture data is larger than the reference value and to use the electronic mail function by way of a network line 40 when the quantity is smaller than the reference value.
