MOBILE TERMINAL CAPABLE OF INSTRUCTING TRANSMISSION OF FAX, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHODS OF CONTROLLING MOBILE TERMINAL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18343342 Titled 'MOBILE TERMINAL CAPABLE OF INSTRUCTING TRANSMISSION OF FAX, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHODS OF CONTROLLING MOBILE TERMINAL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an improvement in the functionality of a mobile terminal for fax transmission. The mobile terminal's CPU sets information about the fax transmission destination and reading/transmission information. It then sends a request for fax transmission to an image forming apparatus. Once the apparatus confirms its capability for fax transmission, the CPU prompts the user to set the original document on the display. When the user gives the instruction to transmit the fax, the CPU sends the instruction along with the transmission destination and reading/transmission information to the apparatus. Finally, the CPU displays the result of the fax transmission on the mobile terminal's display.


Original Abstract Submitted

A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section.
