MOBILE TERMINAL CAPABLE OF SETTING COVER SHEET AND HEADER 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 first appeared for US patent application 18756376 titled 'MOBILE TERMINAL CAPABLE OF SETTING COVER SHEET AND HEADER OF FAX, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHODS OF CONTROLLING MOBILE TERMINAL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The patent application describes a mobile terminal that can set a cover sheet and a header for a fax document and instruct an image forming apparatus to transmit the fax document.

  • The mobile terminal creates cover data and header data based on the settings of the cover sheet and header of the fax document.
  • When the user requests to transmit a fax document, the mobile terminal sends instructions to the image forming apparatus to read the original and transmit the fax document to a specified transmission destination along with the cover data or header data.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in offices, businesses, and other settings where fax communication is still prevalent. - It can streamline the process of sending fax documents by automatically adding cover sheets and headers.

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of sending fax documents by automating the addition of cover sheets and headers. - Ensures that fax documents are properly formatted and include necessary information.

Benefits: - Saves time and effort for users sending fax documents. - Reduces the likelihood of errors in fax transmissions. - Improves the overall efficiency of fax communication.

Commercial Applications: "Automated Fax Transmission System for Enhanced Efficiency in Office Communication"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the mobile terminal determine the settings for the cover sheet and header of the fax document? 2. What are the potential security implications of transmitting fax documents using this technology?


Original Abstract Submitted

A mobile terminal capable of setting a cover sheet and a header of a fax document and causing an image forming apparatus to transmit the fax document. Cover data representative of a cover sheet is created according to the settings of a cover sheet of a fax document, and header data representative of a header is created according to the settings of a header of the fax document. Upon receipt of an instruction for transmitting a fax document from the user, the mobile terminal transmits an instruction to the image forming apparatus for reading an original and transmitting the fax document, together with transmission destination information indicative of a transmission destination to which the fax document is to be transmitted and at least one of the cover data and the header data.
